When you pick up a new weapon it has this shiny effect on the icon so you can quickly see you've just got it. However, some of my weapons are keeping this effect even if I've inspected or even equipped them. It's not a massive issue but it's a little irritating.

Allo there, This is due to you earning a mod for them from the artifact. Try hovering over the new mods and they will stop flashing.
