Trigger And Conversion Mods - "auras" For Guns

[CaveCricket48]

Frames have Aura mods, melee weapons have Stance mods. It's time for guns to get their own "Aura" - Trigger mods and Conversion mods

 

Trigger mods force the gun into a specific trigger type if the gun isn't already in that mode, and gives the weapon a boost depending on the trigger type. All Trigger mods work for all guns (Rifles, Shotguns, Snipers, Bows, Launchers, Pistols). And, of course, gives the mod capacity boost as well, like the Aura and Stance mods.

 

Note: Forcing a charge weapon into a non-charge trigger type will have it fire shots that are 50% as strong as its charged shot.

 

Conversion mods convert the base damage of the weapon to a damage type, making it easier for elemental builds and such.

So.....More grind?  I mean good ideas but remember the hate of having to grind for Melee Stances.......I like the idea but if they are so many it'd take too much time to grind out

 

Also how the hell would Full Auto, Burst fire and Duplex Auto work on bows?  that just sounds way too wonky

Draw-time would be decreased?

 

That's what I would think would happen, but that doesn't mean I think it's OK for bows to become near-automatics.

 

Still, nice idea, just needs some further considerations/tweaks/changes. I can envision the Ogris's AOE and large Blast damage being abused. You might need to limit your auras to specific weapon types to prevent lots of exploits.
