So in Year 1 everybody used these guns because they were both good guns AND they did elemental damage. However, in Year 2 these weapons were abandoned in the fear that they would be mainly used by everyone that acquired them. So here's how to fix elemental primaries; you make them suck. Now I know what you're thinking, "Why the f*ck would you purposefully make a gun suck!?" But let me explain. In the Rise of Iron raid, ( or wherever you would acquire the elemental primaries), they are just regular guns with kinetic damage, and then under the kinetic damage node you would see another node that has that element and you could switch is to it so that it can do that type of damage. So now you can switch between kinetic damage and elemental damage, big deal right? Well when you switch it to the elemental damage its stats are halved. All of them, (except for rate of fire and impact) are cut in half. The stability, range, and reload stats are cut in half. If people truly want to use their elemental damage they can deal with the minor changes to the gun.
