Upon being killed, bosses drop a weapon or item of random quality, several [[Pickups#Hegemony Credits|Hegemony Credits]], and one to three pickups such as hearts, ammo, or keys. Bosses will always drop a gun if the player has not yet picked up a gun on the current floor. If a boss from one of the five main floors is defeated without getting hit, they will drop a [[Master Round]] as well. Clearing a boss without getting hit will also cause it to drop doubled Hegemony Credits. this wiki sucks. it is the worst

Every boss has a DPS (damage per second) cap as a way of stopping players from dealing high amounts of damage over a short time, so guns with high fire rate or high damage can't destroy bosses in seconds.
The DPS cap is applied across a 3-second window.
The most damage a single shot can deal is equal to triple the floor's DPS cap.
In Boss Rush, bosses have no damage per second cap.
