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…

I created a post myself but late. This is what the TWAB should have read: All masterworked weapons will continue to make orbs as they always have, but if you chose to use an Exotic without a catalyst you can choose to use an armor mod of that damage type to make orbs with that particular Exotic. That's all they had to do. Guess we'll just have to wait and see unless they realize beforehand how badly they screwed up.
