Kinetic Damage
Information
Type	Weapon Perk
Description	This weapon causes kinetic damage.

Kinetic Damage is one of four damage types that can be inflicted by weapons in Destiny. When damaging an enemy's shield in PvE activities, Kinetic rounds deal 100% of their normal damage values regardless of the shield's element. Note, however, that the Match Game modifier on Heroic or Nightfall strikes will impose a significant (~75%) damage penalty.

Other damage types:

• Arc Damage
• Solar Damage
• Void Damage
