So are those symbols next to the ammo count of a weapon elemental buffs? And what's up with only having 2 weapons equipped in some of the shots, is there a bonus for this? Finally, does the lack of seeing a melee weapon in one of the weapon slots rule out weapons such as swords and the like (i know he did melee attacks, just pointing out that there were no melee weapons in his equipment slot)

  • Primary, secondary, and sidearm. Sidearm may not show up as an icon. Hunter has a throwing knife type thing, as for the other classes they probably have something similar I'm sure. And yes, weapons have progression which can grant elemental effects, just look at weapons like Thunderlord.

  • Primary secondary and special actually The primary is say ASSULT rifle or hand cannon Secondary is, and I quote, your go to weapon in a right spot such as a shot gun and sniper is in this area (note: hand cannons used to be here but were moved) and special is your insanely high damage in short time area ie LMG or rocket launcher

  • Thanks for the info, but i knew that already, the question was more about the symbols next to the weapon icons, and there meaning (like the one looked like a flame, but could have been an explosion symbol), also i was wondering why some of the guardians in the video had only a primary and secondary, lacking to fill the sidearm slot. Finally i was commenting on how to date we have never seen a sword or comparable melee weapon equipped in any of the existing EQUIPMENT slots, Not to be confused with the special slots, and wondering if such weapons were equip able, or if we were restricted to abilities only (i.e. knife throw)

  • Ah I see, sorry for my confusion. I'm hoping that there will be some sort of melee weapons, it's bound to happen that you'll run out of ammo and your Light is low too. I can't see myself running up to a "boss" and just smacking it a few times lol.

  • Certain weapons have upgrades that give them "elemental" properties. - arc/electrical - incendiary/fire - void, purple stuff
