You know for years I've known by 2nd hand information, mostly from other players or the forums, what weapons do what. Which go with the bonus from what drop suite. That said I got curious with the upcoming changes to swarm launchers and went looking. No where in the description, not even the big paragraph part describing all the features of the weapon does it say it's dmg type that I could find.
Given that it's an explosive weapon but being labeled kinetic now you can't even use common sense with weapons these days. That means some where in the weapons stats there should be a dmg type listed imo. Frankly it should of been in there ages ago.

I totally agree. There have always been four damage types in New Eden: EM, Kinetic, Thermal, Explosive. Each one has a completely different effect on shields and armour. Having to try to figure out which is which based on context is less than wonderful. An explosive weapon is NOT kinetic, never can be. You can have a mix of kinetic and explosive, with an explosive head projectile. But one can never be the other. |

'Too much' of work and it's too complex to understand for newborn and others.
Remeber: this is shooter at console. We don't need lore and such.
Only what we need is new fancy skins for AUR.
Not much time left...

OP wrote:Is dmg type of the weapons listed any where in game? No, it is not. Updating this would most likely require a client-side update and would require a lot of dev hours from CCP Shanghai's small team. Optimal ranges are also missing from weapon 'Show Info' menus and that seems like a very valuable piece of information.
At the end of the day, these features are nice to have but are not able to be monetized. Chances are slim they will get added to Dust 514 in the near term. Especially not when CCP has things like the warbarge and SKINs to develop.
Ripley Riley is on safari until Oct 9th. I will represent him until he returns.
