Pick one. Start the first little challenge they run into right after they disintegrate some massively powerful BBEG, so the realization of what they are in for now and the anticipation of what horror is in store at the end of the arc can build and build and build
Caution, they may say “fuck it” and still keep disintegrating stuff, or experiment with disintegrating each other once they know there are strengthening effects, things like that, so be prepared for that
“Dude this gun is awesome, I liked fighting that boss, I can’t wait for the turbo version”

I think that’s exactly what would happen. It would be renamed to the “time travel/make it a later problem” gun
