elemental weapon stat???
There's an imoplant in the game that adds a small amount of elemental damage to a weapon, so this means the game has elemental damage.

but wheres the stat to show how much elemental damage a weapon does naturally?, as I've picked up weapons that look like they are glowing/sparking, and when used they do a suprising amount more damage that other weapons that have a high standard damage number

also why do some later weapons have worse stats than the originals? as in efficiency=lower impact=lower, make them pretty usless as with a high proficiency the orignals to way more damage

On equipment screen, when selecting weapons, you also can inspect them to show additional details - how much elemental / crush /etc dmg they do.

Gear > Weapon > Select a weapon > Details (T). That shows what types of damage and how much of it that weapon deals.
The Specs tab (to the right of Organizer) shows how much damage you deal for each type including active implants.

Elemental damage is pretty good against many enemies as most armor has relatively low elemental resistance.

Most weapons you find later in the game might deal lower damage than the ones you use because you've most likely already upgraded yours several times. So you're comparing your MKII weapon to a MK 0.

Finally, lower efficiency or lower impact doesn't make a weapon bad. Yes, a twin-rigged weapon may have very low energy gain or impact per hit when compared to a single-rigged, but it also attacks four times as fast, allowing you to be way more agile and, since you attack faster, the energy gains is about the same.

yeah thanks knowing about the details menu makes things so much clear, I can see that the later weapons specialize in a certain type of damage which could be good depending on the enemy,

game is alot more detailed than I first gave it credit for :D
