Warframe has been steadily evolving and implementing new ideas... And ontop of that. A CRAP TON of mods.. Soo many infact that at this point there is so many mods that go unused as they are deemed pointless or dont offer enough incentive to be used compared to a vast majority of other mods.
And with the announcement of enemy radar becoming universal. i think its time that weapon mods get a honest hard look at themselves for being reworked into a new system so that.
These mods no longer pollute the mod menu when modding a weapon
Can actually have a usage without having the negative "Mod cost value" & "Mod Slot" associated with it
The suggestion is simple. With the rise of incarnon weapons and genesis weapon. I purpose that a simple sort of approach is taken in order to better utilize said extremely niche mods. BUT Rather than going to any sort of NPC, or acquiring an adapter or any of that sort of stuff.. Right from your arsenal you can pick and swap whatever you like having active. But in order to somewhat balance said feature. Make it for example only 1 option can be active.
So think of this type of menu. ONLY 1 GROUP OF OPTIONS IS AVAILABLE (For the time being) every circle icon will represent a currently available QOL mod such as hush, recoil reduction mods, zoom level mods, negative zoom mods, Glide duration mods etc etc. But 1 options is only available to be picked. This provides USAGE for current in game mods if the user deems them worth using while at the same time getting rid of the mods in the modding menu. essentially decluttering it!
