You will get a whopping 30,000 XP for completing this simple challenge.

Here are all the Supernova weapons in the game:

Bass Boost
Killswitch Revolvers
Myst Gauntlets

For those wondering, items such as the Tracking Visor, Myst Form, Storm Beast’s Pom Poms, and Surf Cube are not weapons, just Supernova items, so they can't be used to complete the Week 6 challenge. You are required to deal damage using Bass Boost, Killswitch Revolvers, or Myst Gauntlets.
