Free talent on Primary triggered by skill kills

[GunsForBucks]

I found it only works when you have the gun in your hand... not just set as the "Primary" weapon.

Is this intended to work that way?

explain please...

Talents on weapons only work or are activate when that weapon is being used, I.E "increased critical hit damage" would only increase THAT weapons critical hit damage. The only way for weapons to have any shared talents is with the Alpha bridge gear set (regular or classifed) with 4+ pieces equiped.

I don't understand, where do you get free talent on primary triggered?

[=AIMN'T= ASM_Alpha]

Yes. There are various weapon talents that can be proc'd by skill killls or they apply to your skill damage. for example destructive ferocious sustained predatory determined etc. and the talents that are proc'd depend on the weapon you are holding at the moment skill is activated.

Yes I was using predatory....
so I guess the logic is the certain free talent on the weapon you are holding so it should proc on either secondary or primary


Now that seems to work with the Tac set but for some reason I can't seem to get it to work with firecrest.. but I know a flame turret will proc the predatory on my D3 set just fine......

seems odd but perhaps being in a team made a difference? I'm not sure...

Well running Tac or D3 I can proc the predatory in the free slot with Balls, Sticky or Flame turrets

Skill kills are supposed to proc the free talents that work over time or unrelated to weapon use type of stuff. But this does not include exotics.

i'm sure this is always the way it worked, unless using AB a skill wont proc unless holding or getting the kill shot with that weapon, skill kills always worked on certain talents, but again you have to be holding it.

Basically weapon talents only work for the weapon they're on. They need the stats listed to become "active" and then if they need a kill, for example Predatory, Any kill will proc it. IIRC assists also proc kill skills, but I may be mistaken.

And to answer your original question, the free talent, or any talent only work on the currently used weapon, the one you're firing. They also apply to skills. turrets and seekers benefit from destructive for example. The one exception is the Alpha bridge 4 set piece bonus.
