Don't mind me, I'm just going to sit across the street where I can use ping on a camera and use my power sniper rifle I got from Panam to snipe everyone in the building before entering.

@Aerion Snow: "Physical", "kinetic". Sure, there is no established terminology (pretty much all modern weaponry are based on hitting the target with something material), but in fiction/games/films/etc. "power weapons" almost universally means "non-physical projectiles (deathrays etc.)"

I interpreted it as being 'actual, physical projectiles' versus 'high-tech super-weapons that shoot weird, non-physical projectiles'.
'Power' isn't quite the right tag still, but I can see how someone might choose it as the 'physical projectile' tag.

@EnragedFilia: It's called the "GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!" playstyle.

What tag is for the "run up and hit stuff with a hammer that oneshots everything and regenerates you to full health" playstyle?

I believe it stands for "Haha! We have your money!" in Polish.

Tech is a railgun, it uses advanced technology. Power weapons have larger caliber and powder loads, making their bullets hit harder, and thus, more powerful. The idea is that with a Power weapon, you're blasting everything, then those bullets rebound and smash other stuff. Full destruction.

Reminds me of Daikatana. In Daikatana, what bounces back will hurt you. Classy game.

Called "standard" and "electromagnetic" in Russian. But yes, in Polish trnaslation it's "power" and "tech", which is pretty weird.

I haven't seen too many translation quirks like this. Though I'm guessing conventional instead of power would work too.

In Italian the game calls them "traditional", seems more appropriate than just "power"

Power weapons are guns that use traditional ammunition.

Power weapons do more base damage. So secondary effect is limited. The guns are balanced more about playstyle. Power stand up fight hitting and getting hit. Smart/homing dodge and weave. Popping in and out of cover. And Tech is for keeping hidden and sniping the crap out of things from the shadows.
