There is a new weapons system in place for [[Guardian]]s: 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, and single-shot grenade launchers moving to kinetic and energy weapons slots, 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]].
