Why the faction vendor weapons still aren't going to be that great

One word:

Mods

How many times do you pull a scavenger sniper mod? Where are the scavenger snipers? I have an Ego Precision Sniper, everytime I pull an ego precision mod it comes out being for a BMG. Where are the Ego precision BMGs? At 100 faction cost (which is equivalent to 1 weekly and 5 dailies-- so no less than 5 days between 7 days per 1 mod pull) how fast do you think you are going to be able to fully mod that new great faction weapon with matching synergy mods?

Totally agree I won't be buying them.

You do realise you'll be able to buy these mods from the mod vendors?

Faction mods? I haven't seen any other than scavenger sniper ones posted from the alpha server

Not faction-specific synergy mods.

i got full set of scavenger for my votan pulser, which doesn't seem to do anything at 2% drop increase... on a side note those faction guns dont keep their mastery bonus, at least mine dont. everytime i change phases all my faction weapons. rotate their mastery bonus to something different. ive asked about this before but received 0% information on the matter.

OK, so maybe scavenger... but where are the others like Ego Precision?

Plenty of Scav sniper mods and no Scav sniper weapons, as you say.
Hardboiled S/A snipers, and EGO Precision sniper mods. Where are the vice/versa?

I've got a Scav Pulsar, and finally found 2 mods, but the return isn't really noticeable.

Paradise vendor at Eastern Shore docks. Who sells the mods for those one-of-a-kind weapon syns? I dont see mod boxes in the vendor there.

A lot of my inventory is storing stuff in case it's needed. I've got 331 slots full and about 80 weapons in them, a lot of them are mods for weapons that don't exist in game at all.

And the reason it's so expensive to pull mods back off a weapon is so you have to buy inventory slots/space.
Otherwise everyone would just store all their mods on excess weapons in inventory, and the number of inv slots would be cut by 70% to 80% for many people. Imagine all the income from bits to buy slots that little marketing gem gained them.

Edited to add (from a reply below):

Definitely no scavenger sniper rifles in the game currently. For the life of me I cannot pull an Ego Precision Sniper mod. After pulling my 4th BMG Ego Precision mod, I gave up.

My mistake, I apologize.
I meant to say EGO Precision AR/LMG/SMG mods, not sniper mods.
And I get Prepared sniper scopes.
