Interesting idea (Destiny)

I've had similar thoughts myself. On the one hand, I think it would make high level end-game stuff more interesting. But it would make low-level missions unfairly challenging, at least as they are currently designed. Remember, all special and heavy weapons have elemental damage. New players might only have 1 sniper, or 1 rocket launcher, meaning they wouldn't be able to do any damage to certain enemies except with their primaries (which are all kinetic at that level). Seems a bit too punishing to new players, IMO.

It doesn't have to be that way going forward. Bungie can have any number of kinetic secondaries and heavies in the Taken King, just like there are plenty of kinetic greens and whites currently.
