Different weapons in Destiny use different elements to inflict different damage on your enemies. Sound complicated? There are people in the Bungie community who do a great job of explaining it.

The long-rumoured Destiny Mobile game from NetEase may finally be ready for reveal according to multiple leakers.
Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero
So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses
Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!
another Interview?
how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol
Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.
However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.
How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.
"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"
Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.
Not a bad system, but I definitely prefer Borderlands' approach to it.
All we have to do is wait one month of PURE HELL and the game will be out. YAAAAAAY!
Not much longer fellow Guardians and we can fight the back against the darkness once again.
I was wondering what those colored symbols meant, good to know what they do now. All I knew prior to the video was that they had different effects when hitting enemies (the fire/solar one was the most obvious to me), but I never noticed one working better than the other, and this video clears that right up.
This will makes it even more interesting when setting up strike teams, as you'll want to make sure the team has the ability to use all types of damages for maximum killing efficiency against higher level enemies with shields.
SO hyped for this game!
I wish it was shown in the health bar - like if an enemy was weak to void damage, their shield health bar would be purple, for example.
But its still a decent system.
