... all weapons have a base damage type of either kinetic or energy. On top of that, some weaponswill have some amount of "elemental" damage (cold/heat/electric/acid) which corresponds to the available armor protections. There is also a weapon powerup that allows you to convert some amount of your base damage to elemental damage if the weapon already started with some elemental damage (like the Cryo Lance for instance).

well so what will happen to our already craftet PuPs, will they be convertet?


or will they be the same and we get new PuPs?

They'll have to be converted. Not only are the powerups available now totally imbalanced with respect to what will be available post CU, the old PuPs don't even exist any more. They have been replaced entirely with the non-random ones that Helios mentioned.


If they were left in the game, and just had their stats adjusted, they would still be PuPs that provide benefits to multiple stats without any costs. Also, it's likely that even if this wasn't a problem, that the backend information necessary to build such items has been replaced as well. So we'd get the same situation we had after the FWG5 schematic was changed in which items could no longer be taken from their crates.
