Conflicted Feelings... (Destiny)

If Bungie is removing the elements from those weapons, then it sounds like your kinetic weapon and your power weapon won’t have elemental damage. That sounds especially hobbling considering each strike will have an elemental burn. Focusing all that power on only one weapon is highly pressing.

The way I understand it is that those weapons will physically move to the kinetic weapon slot. Not stay in the Power. I think any weapon in the elemental or power slots will still have elemental damage attached to it.

You are correct (I believe). Your special and power weapons will always have an elemental damage type. Anything that’s being switched to Kinetic will be moving to the top slot, but it won’t necessarily take white ammo (which is now determined by weapon type rather than slot). So Hawthorne’s Shotgun will be in the top slot but needs green ammo.

It sounds confusing, but I suspect it will actually be pretty intuitive (or at least be easier to understand), once we get our hands on it.
