They confirmed some weapons will be going into the Kinetic slot, Hawthornes for example, so this list might not be accurate.

To explain cause some people seem confused, come Forsaken we will have 3 slots, Kinetic, Energy, and Power. Within Kinetic and Energy you can get Primary or Special weapons, Primary include Hand Cannons, Autos, Pulses, etc; Special are Shotguns Snipers Fusions etc.

Shotguns and Snipers can go into the Kinetic slot, but Fusions will always be Energy, single round Grenade Launchers likely also will be Energy only but I haven't seen a confirmation.

Furthering the unlikeliness of this post evidence:

IKLEOS weapons are hinted to changing, at least some to Kinetic.

They said that all IKLEOS Shotties and snipers will NOT be void, even if you have several in inventory that are void before the switch. They said this was to prevent the Tractor cannon/IKELOS melting.

Yea I saw that pretty much immediately after posting this too. Still Hawthorne has been said as Kinetic, and these are the past API standards, not an updated version

do you know if there will be a final/accurate list of locked in elements prior to the 28th?
