A method comprises providing a gun string assembly within a wellbore and perforating the wellbore using the gun string assembly. The gun string assembly comprises a plurality of perforating guns coupled in series. A first perforating gun of the plurality of perforating guns comprises a first portion of shaped charges, and a second perforating gun of the plurality of perforating guns comprises a second portion of shaped charges operably associated with a secondary pressure generator. The first perforating gun and the second perforating gun are configured in the gun string assembly to provide a pressure transient comprising one or more pressures at a location in the wellbore that meet one or more thresholds.

1. A method comprising: providing a gun string assembly within a wellbore, wherein the gun string assembly comprises: a secondary pressure generator; anda plurality of perforating guns coupled in series, wherein a first perforating gun of the plurality of perforating guns comprises a first portion of shaped charges, and wherein a second perforating gun of the plurality of perforating guns comprises a second portion of shaped charges operably associated with the secondary pressure generator;detonating at least the second portion of shaped charges in the gun string assembly;creating a dynamic underbalance condition using at least the second portion of perforating charges and the second perforating gun body in response to detonating at least the second portion of shaped charges;generating an increased pressure within the wellbore and outside of the gun string assembly using the secondary pressure generator in response to detonating at least the second portion of shaped charges, wherein the second pressure generator is configured to reduce at least one of a peak of the dynamic underbalance condition or a duration of the dynamic underbalance condition when activated; andgenerating a pressure transient comprising one or more pressures at a location in the wellbore and outside of the gun string assembly in response to perforating the wellbore using at least the second portion of shaped charges and generating the increased pressure using the secondary pressure generator, wherein the one or more pressures are based on the dynamic underbalance condition and the at least one of the reduced peak of the underbalanced condition or the reduced duration of the underbalance condition,wherein the one or more pressures meet one or more thresholds at the location based on the increased pressure generated by the secondary pressure generator, wherein the one or more thresholds comprise a peak pressure threshold at a peak overbalance condition or a peak pressure threshold at an underbalance condition. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more pressures comprise at least one of: a peak pressure at the peak overbalance condition, a peak pressure at the maximum underbalance condition, a pressure at a stabilized reservoir pressure. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the location comprises at least one of: at or near a zonal isolation device, at or near at least one perforation, at or near a gun string component, and at or near a work string component. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more thresholds comprise a pressure differential across a zonal isolation device of about 20,000 psi. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more thresholds comprise a pressure differential across a zonal isolation device of about 5,000 psi. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising a blank pipe section disposed between the first perforating gun and the second perforating gun. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one of the second portion of shaped charges that is operably associated with the secondary pressure generator comprises at least one of: a big-hole charge, and a deep-penetrating charge. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises a coating on at least one of the second portion of shaped charges. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises at least a portion of a charge case of at least one of the second portion of shaped charges. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises at least a portion of a liner of at least one of the second portion of shaped charges. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises at least a portion of an explosive of at least one of the second portion of shaped charges. 12. A method comprising: perforating a wellbore using a gun string assembly, wherein the gun string assembly comprises: a plurality of perforating guns coupled in series, wherein a first perforating gun of the plurality of perforating guns comprises a first portion of shaped charges, and wherein a second perforating gun of the plurality of perforating guns comprises a second portion of shaped charges, anda secondary pressure generator operably associated with at least one of the plurality of perforating guns;creating a dynamic underbalance condition in response to perforating the wellbore;reacting the secondary pressure generator in response to the perforating;creating a secondary pressure event in the near wellbore region outside of the gun string assembly in response to the reacting;reducing at least one of a peak of the dynamic underbalanced condition or a duration of the underbalance condition in response to creating the secondary pressure event; andproviding a pressure transient comprising one or more pressures at a location in the wellbore that meet one or more thresholds in response to reducing the at least one of the peak of the dynamic underbalanced condition or the duration of the underbalance condition, wherein the one or more pressure thresholds comprises at least one of an overpressure or an underpressure that the location can experience without an adverse effect. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the secondary pressure event comprises a dynamic overbalance condition. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the secondary pressure event occurs within about 100 milliseconds of the perforating. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising: measuring the pressure transient; and recording the pressure transient on a non-transitory computer readable medium. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises at least one of: a coating on at least one shaped charge of the first portion of shaped charges or the second portion of shaped charges, a portion of a charge case of at least one shaped charge of the first portion of shaped charges or the second portion of shaped charges, or a portion of a liner of at least one shaped charge of the first portion of shaped charges or the second portion of shaped charges. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises at least a portion of an explosive of at least one shaped charge of the first portion of shaped charges or the second portion of shaped charges. 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the secondary pressure generator comprises a reactive material selected from the group consisting of: a phyrophoric material, a combustible material, a mixed rare earth alloy, a pyrotechnic composition, and any combination thereof. 19.
