The "reasoning" behind the lack of elemental damage in primaries was to get people to use a variety of guns.

You reminded me of that BS reason they gave lol. Like, why make just all of the other primaries outside of the raids in Y1 non-elemental? Like just give the raid guns some cool ass perks, and that's that. Its not like we have powerful weapons as our secondaries-like snipers, shotguns, and fusion rifles-already (oh wait)
