Why can't I use the same damn mods on my sentinel?

[(PSN)LeBlingKing]

It's annoying to have to max another Serration or Pathogen Rounds because I can't use my ALREADY MAXED MODS ON MY WARFRAME AND SENTINEL AT THE SAME TIME

[xXDeadsinxX]

Yeah I feel ya, it does suck and we should honestly be able to use mods on our weapons and sentinels.

[(PSN)drpunk-yo]

Don't bother with sentinel weapon. Sorted.

Seriously though. They either steal kills from you or are too weak to make a dent on enemies.

Vacuum, animal instinct, and survivability cos I don't want to lose my vacuum. That's the perfect sentinel for me.

Sentinels should be seen and not heard

Because you can't have the same thing in two places at the same time?

You actually answered the question yourself. You have one copy of a mod that you use for your primary weapon. Therefore this copy of the mod is no longer available for another weapon of the same type. 

Is this annoying? For sure. But it nonetheless makes sense the way it is implemented at the moment. 

[ashrah]

u can use carrier  until u dont max serration...

[Loviam]

I solved this problem by maxing both the shotgun and the rifle variant of the sentinel weapons. I understand this may be a $&*^ around for other people but it's how I solved it personally

It doesnt make much sense, seeing as with other pets they have exclusive seperate damage mods.

Same (and melee weapons for the de-constructor) but as there is no way to tell which mod is which i still get caught out sometimes.

[Loviam]

I swap to my sent wrap based on if I'm using a shotty or rifle 

[--RV--D4VE-]

Well I sorted it out like i have both sweeper and vulklok maxed and forma'd and swap them accordingly to what primary im using, that way i don't have to have 2 same mods on both. And I wouldn't consider them all that weak, sure it's not a primary rifle but my vulklok with 50% crit chance and 90% status is quite good.

We used to able to do this, but people felt it wasnt realistic so they changed it. Which doesnt makes sense for me, because it is a game after all and its not like its build after being realistic as possible. So its just nuisance THB.

Continuing with your statement would result in adding special Sentinelweapon mods, which would actually be the same like it is now, except the fact you have to farm them again.

Same. I did originally just max duplicates, but with some mods I only had one copy so I just alternate the sentinel weapon depending on what I use.

@(PS4)LeBlingKing69 I have a workaround I have been using for the past 4 years that you might appreciate and I am almost 100% sure it should work on console. This issue is rather irritating and DE would most likely change how things work if only the problem was brought to light in a more public way, perhaps during a devstream. Can't really speak on the exploit I've been using out of fear for it getting patched.

Its also annoying that I can't be at work and at home at the same time, but that's the laws of physics for ya.

One modification can not be in two places at once.  Just because you can 'install' it in dozens of guns without problems doesn't mean its used in all of them Two weapons, 1 mod, cannot be shared.  Maths are fun!

  There is plenty of realism in this game, even fantasy worlds have rules they should follow.  Otherwise it would be nonsensical and ridiculous and pointless.  We have armor, armor mitigates damage, that's realistic.  Maybe they should just say to hell with the rules and let level 6 chargers one-shot valkyr through all of her DR every once in a while.  Know what that'd be called if it happened?  A bug.

No sir! that's not a bug!  We are a game!  We has no rules!  ANARCHY!!!

You realize stating even that much will have @[DE]Rebecca @[DE]Danielle and others on your account in a heartbeat seeking to discover your exploit?  Hek they might just suspend your account just to be safe.

You can't really use the laws of physics as a reasonable answer in a game where you can teleport, go invisible, shoot fire out your a**, and control a warframe with your mind..

 

I don't really mind needing two sets of mods, but I wish they would hide the one that is already equipped. It's annoying trying to figure out what's already equipped when you're modding a weapon.

[(PSN)CoolD2108]

There's a prime shotgun includet on carrier and a prime glaive includet on helios prime...Both allow pretty darn decent builds that are not in conflict with the stuff you use.

This. I doubt that this is so hard to implement.

And there are plenty of things that doesn't follow realism either, so that argument doesn't really work in why it shouldn't. Its a game you dont need realism all over it, only parts that makes sense (like in armor as you said), but one should also think about QoL. It doesn't make sense to make a feature that is unwanted, just for keeping it realistic 

What annoys me is that we used to be able to do this, but then they changed because of "realism" that people complained about. All i see is "we want to grind more for the same benefit".

All I ask for is a little label telling me X mod is already equipped on X gear item.

I am always annoyed whenever I play a game that attempts to simulate bag space or item size being placed inside bags, for example Diablo 2.  Long swords versus gems and then they have thousands of items dropping from enemies.

Like Its just a game, let us carry everything ffs!

I got over it.

Using two versions of the same mod is easily bypassed.  Using the rare Prime mods like primed fury?  Well, you're just out of luck there, and it was a decision DE made and one I just happen to support.

I see mods as card representations of physical enhancements being placed upon a frame/weapon/sent/pet, if two of these items happen to have slots available for the same mod, well you cant enhance two items with the same mod at the same time.

Or maybe we should start a riot about being forced to place a catalyst/reactor into each and every thing we own, why can't we just use one of each in all of them?

I dunno, I like this type of realism.

You missed my point, the feature was already there and then it got changed. That is the annoying thing about it.

"Or maybe we should start a riot about being forced to place a catalyst/reactor into each and every thing we own, why can't we just use one of each in all of them?"

That is an entirely different feature of the game being free to play and it has always been like that. Therefore there is no reason to complain about that, besides they are given away for free (besides a weapon/warframe can work without it, it just makes it easier for you (as being apart of the free 2 play title)).

Which I would be fine with. I could melt my spares down for endo.

The tribulations of playing a game that constantly changes, things change.  Maybe this will change again, someday.
