These mods only further amplify an issue introduced with holders tbh. Nobody uses them because there is no room on armor to support the sheer energy cost and their inferiority over scav mods.
It’s going to be the same here, nobody wants to remove finders since they are just too superior. If the mod worked for all guns then maybe but they will only work for specific elements which is even worse since MAX 2 guns will make orbs.
Although the artefact change is good, it’s another 1 step forward and 2 steps back with the orb nerf…

They didn't make this change with the sole purpose of allowing exotics with no catalyst to create orbs, they specifically said that the new weapon crafting system [quote]will encourage you to use many different weapons and ask you to burn hard-earned Masterwork materials on a weapon that you may only be using for a few hours, just to generate Orbs.[/quote] So they didn't want people complaining about having to waste mats on weapons they wouldn't be using for that long. And this solution they came up with is still really bad. All they had to do was remove the requirement of creating orbs with weapons they expect players to only use for a few hours. Why not just come up with some other arbitrary requirement for the weapon system, maybe something like, i don't know, getting X number of kills.
