The mod "lock" function

Georgemi6

I get that when you "lock" a mod, you can't remove it without unlocking it, but what purpose does this serve? Does it benefit the character with the mod or something? I thought it might have something to do with a function that would be implemented at a later time, but so far nothing has happened. Does anyone know?

It helps to remember the important mods instead of scrolling through trying to find which mods you switched out. Well that's how I use the lock feature

I have 100 toons and several hundred mods. I have never used that silly feature once.

LOL. Same here.

I accidentally "destroyed" one of my mods once.

Since then, I started locking the good ones.

It also helps when moving mods from one toon to another.

I had no idea you could do that. Now that I know that feature exists, I will continue to never use it.

Welp I myself had always thought this feature was useless until now where I just removed a "locked" mod and saw the lil' lock icon is there on the list. Yep, gonna use this the same way now too! lol.

Yeah, as well it's very useful that you cannot swap a locked mod, it has to be removed manually, me and my fat fingers double-clicking mods are really happy about that feature, then as per when I am changing mods it really helps me find the ines I just took from toon A to go into toon B

Same here. I locked one once and I then quickly unlocked it and felt dirty.

I hope to someday have awesome mods for all the characters I use. But for now, it helps when I'm swapping a mod set. I lock them, remove the mods, switch to the character I'm modding, then simply equip the locked mods. Don't have to search for the ones I just removed.

Pretty much!

The lock feature doesn't even work for me, I can swap and remove a locked mod.

I originally thought that feature was so you could lock them on a character so that when you swapped them to a new character it would have a new option to revert the mods back to the character they were locked on.
I would much rather have that feature over this one that does absolutely nothing.

Everyone in my arena team has a locked mod. No one else does. Just a little heads up, after hours and hours, of moving mods not to touch those.

You can't sell locked mods either. So I lock mods with great secondaries or I plan to slice so that I accidentally sell them

I think there needs to be a mod flag feature. Where you can flag mods red/blue/green etc.

Since you cannot sell mods from the main menu, I'd like to flag some mods when swapping between two characters (since that's not an option) or when I level a mod to 15 and get lousy secondary boosts and want to sell it right there and then, a flag option would be nice.

@Painki11er this was almost two years old. Moving locked mods has been possible for a while, you just can't sell them.

Solid necro though.
