I have looked around the internet trying to find something related to this and i have found a few youtube videos but they don't really explain it very well, As far as i know they are only found on Special and heavy weapons and they only do extra damage to some enemies, but that's about all i could figure out. So if anyone is willing to explain it as best they know i would appreciate it. Sorry if this is a noob question, i kind of jumped on the destiny bandwagon a little late.
P.S: Sorry if this is the wrong forum category

ok, so each type of damage correlates to an element. Blue is arc damage (lightning.) orange is Solar, or Fire damage, and purple is Void damage. they do bonus damage against enemy shields of the same color. and may have other effects related to gear that boosts damage or modifies it in some way. (increased change to burn the target or something.)
