(PSA) Equipping both Fulmination mods is unintentional, to be hotfixed

[[DE]Momaw 15,057]

As many eager Tenno flock into Baro's shop on PC today (Dec 4) and throw their ducats at him for the latest and most exotic items from the Origin System, some have noticed something odd about the mod Primed Fulmination (Increases AOE radius on secondary weapons).  Specifically that it can stack with its ordinary non-Primed variant.  Primed mods have been a feature of Warframe for several years, and it's our long standing policy that you can't have both the Primed and ordinary version of the same mod equipped at the same time.  You'll notice that you can't equip both Firestorm mods on primaries, as intended. We missed setting this up for Primed Fulmination, which is an error on our part. We will be fixing this in a hotfix soon. Nothing will happen to the mods you already own or have ranked up, you will simply not be able to equip both as is the usual case with Primed mods.

Incoming "DE nerfs our fun" comments, guaranteed.

Makes sense to me. I did have morphic transformer and primed morphic transformer on my elytron equipped for like 4? (maybe 2?) years after you hotfixed it though. Should probably make sure anyone who has it equipped automatically unequips the mods. @[DE]Momaw

I wonder if you equip both now and leave them, if the hotfix will remove one.

Personally I dont really see the harm in allowing to equip both since thats 2 slots you cant add MOAR DAMAGE
but then again, it can be used by the players as a handhold for allowing weird stuff like vitality and umbral vitality whining

This is a nice change DE saying very early something was a mistake and unintentional and will be fixed. This would have save so much gripe with stuff like Chroma and other previous nerfs if DE announce early on it was a mistake and have a very large chance to be fix within a month instead of prolonging some things for years lol.

At least with Chroma I get they let us have fun but they should have long announce it constantly they would one day fix it or start enforcing things like Riven changes.

This is the one time where nerfing our fun this makes sense DE.

From trying it on my favorites, 2 slots + cap needed isn't even a good tradeoff for range, so nobody but silly fx overload fans like me would even bother with it.

I appreciate DE putting out a notice about it quickly.

Hoping that builds already using it get to keep it; It's not like it's powerful in any way except memes. I'd say most weapons become significantly less usable with +90% Blast Range.

It's sad that you guys have to point it out to prevent yet again a huge backlash.. I saw that and in literally less than a second knew it's not intended.. i mean the last 6 years, stuff like that never stacked, and if, always was unintentional..

But GG for the quick heads-up :)

Out of curiosity, how big of a blast radius could you achieve with both mods (Normal + Primed version) on the biggest launchers?

Are there any notable screenshots to remember it by,  modded with them?

I re-read the original post, and saw it mentioned Primaries can't have both equipped (Would've been fun to see), so I cut those parts of this post.

With both together and maxed it's simply your normal radius * 1.9.  So, nearly double.

Not really notable, but for posterity's sake:

Pretty nice. Understandably, it'll be missed.
