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 do explain a reason they are doing this is weapon crafting. Legendary weapons will likely become more expendable as we work our way thru that system. They don't change anything everyone just complains that masterwork is too expensive, we don't have enough materials, why don't all exotics have cats for orbs, etc. Now all people can complain about is having to make a choice in mod slots instead of just equipping one go to.
