The concept of Freedom Slots includes moving things like Snipers to the Power slot.

My understanding of the 'Freedom Slots' was that any weapon type in the Kinetic slot can be equipped in the Energy slot - there's nothing at all about a Sniper (clearly a 'Power' weapon) being viable there. Do you know something I don't?

You don’t get Freedom Slots without relegating the Shotguns, Fusion Rifles, and Sniper Rifles that used to be in slot 2 (and that caused no end of balance problems over the last three years) to the Power slot. That Power weapons aren’t viable in a Freedom Slot is the entire point! By removing them, we now have the Freedom to use any remaining weapon type in either slot.
