Do Sovereign Catalysts Only Install on Weapons?

[Amiable]

I am trying to install Sovereign catalysts on Legendary items. It only seems to work on weapons. Whether or not an item is radiant does not seem to make a difference.

On the wiki, it says that Sovereign catalysts work for all item types. However, this does not seem to be true in game. Does anyone know if this is a bug or an error in the wiki page?

[Porked!]

I guess wiki is a bit outdated on some entries. My beams have +5% damage each second up to +100% even though that is listed as autocannons only, and my gauss cannons have 1% chance to disable shields per shot instead of 2% stated by wiki editors.

And wiki still says that HIVE is an advanced AI unit even though it's actually obsolete now.

Ya, I didn't even know there was the following modifier, but I found it when I was rolling for something, so decided to make a bomber:

Missile Defense System increases the damage of your secondary weapons by 25% while active.
