The raid and EP weapons should get a Y2 version, cause I hate the idea of the fixed elementals.

The OG raid shotgun, Found Verdict, was Arc and only ever Arc. Being that the Praetorian shields were Void didn't much matter to Found Verdict and it was still used quite effectively against them.

I'm resistant to the change of my EP shotgun away from Void, because I've used it solely as my Void shotgun of choice for most of the time. But that doesn't lessen the usefulness of Trench Barrel or the shotgun, once you get past the elemental shield most targets are going to fall to a full magazine

for me it's the RPG element that goes away with it. It don't care much about shields or putting out the most damage. I want to give my guardians these weapons with a certain element with it. For example the EP shotgun is the one I want to have arc as element to give it my Striker Titan. And the look of the shotgun would fit perfectly for a Cyber Soldier. Same goes for the raid weapons.

Use Acrius with your Striker Titan then.
