Summary	0026890: "Exotic Damage" Isn't Defined Anywhere
Description	Superweapons and a few other things have "Res: Exotic Damage" in their tooltips, but the things that count as "Exotic Damage" are not stated anywhere. I asked in discord, and only got an unsure answer of retaliation, electrotoxic, and possibly corrosive. We can't have things that say "I resist this damage type" but not have anything which uses said damage type telling the player "Hey, this counts as this damage type." Example below: a Vengful Sniper, which resists Exotic Damage, and supposedly also deals Exotic Damage, if what I hear is correct. It doesn't explain anywhere that it deals Exotic Damage.

NRSirLimbo Apr 10, 2022 6:38 pm developer ~0065913	* Attrition, Electrotoxic, Revenge Shot (both percentual and fixed-damage-returning) and Ion damage now all have the same, color-coded info that these damage types are considered exotic damage. ** Thanks to Mac for requesting.
