The weapons system for [[Guardian]]s is different: instead of primary, special, and heavy weapons, there are kinetic, energy, and power weapons respectively. As of ''Forsaken'', the weapons system was reworked, with shotguns, sniper rifles, fusion rifles, single-shot grenade launchers and trace rifles moving to kinetic and energy weapons slots and using Special ammo, with the exceptions of [[Legend of Acrius]], [[Tractor Cannon]], [[D.A.R.C.I.]], [[Whisper of the Worm]], and [[One Thousand Voices]]. Some later Exotic weapons also appear outside their usual category, such as [[Leviathan's Breath]]. | The weapons system for [[Guardian]]s is different: instead of primary, special, and heavy weapons, there are kinetic, energy, and power weapons respectively.
