Simple question about mutators

[EvilShuckle]

Do Mutators stay active no matter which weapon is equipped? You seem to be able to equip 3 at a time at most, but are all three activate at the same time or only the weapon you currrently have in hand?

I believe its based on the weapon you have equiped, cause I dont get the aiming buff on my pistol when I have the mutator on my rifle.

[EvilShuckle]

Oh. Really? I expected it'd apply at all times. Well it is good to know. With that I don't have to get them on all three unless I use all three

[Dreams of Fury]

For my gunslinger/hunter combo I actually use a melee mutator that restores ammo to my weapons....and my secondary gives a stacking damage boost to the mod in my primary for just doing damage with it a few times.....so there is flexibility in doing many things.

[EvilShuckle]

I guess, but it just feels like another limitation, like with the traits. I'm playing on nightmare and I thought I'd be able to gradually grow stronger to actually go somewhere as I'm currently getting whooped, only everything seems to be limiting. The traits are soon useless, the mutators don't work for all gear at the same time so that is limiting too, meaning I won't get far with the few mutators I can buy in the base, and the difficulty goes up if I increase my gear/archtype level, which I thought was removed from the game. Sigh

Mutators work on whatever weapon you have it equipped on. The same as mods.

Mutators are sometimes bugged so some of them don't work right to the description as they claim.

Also when you see 'Melee hits or Melee attacks' they meant non-charge attacks. Only mutators that specifies charge attacks will actually work with them.
