I'd be alright with this. Though, on top of being exotics, the weapons would still have to have some sort of minor drawback that forces you to consider other factors than just what type of burn is on a certain strike. As cool as elemental primaries are, they shouldn't become crutches.

Primaries becoming primarily used, wouldn't want that would we.

agreed

Making elemental primaries exotic would add the drawback factor in general as you couldn't equip special or heavy exotics.

my point, ty.

Still, there's always the tendency to use an elementary primary above everything else. I remember a lot of strikes where people would use Fang or Ir Yut or Oversoul Edict on an Strike with Arc Burn and you'd never need to use anything else. Or maybe you can just make exotic elemental primaries and just have strikes with no burn modifier. Or have every Strike have the match game modifier and make it real interesting! Still, I'm on board. Give the Zhalo a compatible solar and void alternative.

Modifiers could be diversified to make elemental primaries more or less potent. The true solution is to either make only exotic elemental or some type of artifact that give elemental damage to certain weapons e.g. imbues any equipped scout rifle with void damage.
