Thundercage mounting

[ベル・ムーン]

I have to unequip and re-equip the thunder cage weapon to get the boost from the core anytime i change anything at all. Its very annoying, as I lose 60% overall damage entirely if I dont.

where do i do this?

[Irot Noot]

For me it was that you just need to be holding it. You unequipping and reequpping it is merely getting you to equip it in the first place. If you are seeing the same thing I did at least. I solved this for myself by moving it into the first slot then it was usually the weapon I have equipped after teleporting to the city.

Ye I thought the same. Turns out the 'mounting' part means you actively need to have that weapon in your hands, not just equipped in your loadout.
Other reactors just require you to have the weapon in one of your 3 slots.

Makes it quite irritating to compare, since you have to jump out of menu and cycle to that weapon, or equip/requip the weapon to forcibly cycle to the weapon in inventory.

I'm sure it wasn't like this in the tech test, perhaps I'm wrong, but didn't notice it.

I delete ultimate reactors without looking at their stats because of that "holding" instead of just "equipped" like the others. :P

Ultimate reactors are the best if you look at the stats. You can just switch to the needed weapon when you need to cast a skill. Also, using ult reactors makes inventory management much more efficient since it's faster to breakdown purple reactors than it is breakdown ultimate reactors.

[Aviator]

Changed my junk filter for reactors so it doesn't warn about deleting those.
And the "ultimate" reactors are only better if you remember to use (and have to begin with) the required weapon. Considering the animation requirements, this even further delays using a skill you need NOW instead of in 5+ seconds.

I also find this system very annoying and stupid. E.g. you're running a thunder cage in some colossus battle, spamming skills with some Valby and boom you're out of ammo, then you could instantly use your greg's as an alt weapon to continue spamming, until you find ammo for your thunder cage, but noooooo.... you need to f*cking hold it.... cause it's your preciooous.... I dont get it what's the point of having 3 weapons in loadout if that's how ult reactor works, while the game is completely situational which requires you different weapons in a single fight....

[JinxTheWorld]

If in town just hit the change weapon button and you can swap to the other weapon so it is "equipped".

I still need reactors for some characters, so I check them. Thankfully since the update I don't have to mouseover all of them, I just look the modifiers. If I see a purple and a yellow, or 2 yellow dots, I check them.

mounting = has to be in hand
equipped = has to be in one of the 3 weapon slots.

If you ask me, it is a bit sad that this is not "equipped" for golden reactors too, like it is for puple ones.
As it is now, the 20% increase is just too good to pass it up for convenience. Also weirdly farming golden reactors is easier than farming puple ones.

The system makes no sense at all, forcing players into playing with only 1 out of 3 equippable weapons.
Everytime you shoot with anything else than your reactor main gun, you are basically shooting yourself in the foot. Everytime.
One of the many things that don't make any sense at all from a design point of view.
