Each Head Hunt boss comes with a distinct weapon setup and a signature mechanic, and their side-kick group follows a similar theme. Side-kicks use weapons, attack styles, or status effects that fit the same flavour as the boss they support.
The list below breaks both bosses and their side-kicks into two parts:

Covers everything tied directly to their weapon, including any built-in mod effects.
Unique Attack
Covers any additional ability they have on top of what the weapon already does.
