I don't really understand the purpose, since bungie removed dragonfly from cold front, i wasn't exactly using the gun to begin with but it did make me notice that they don't want it on kinetics ever, other than Ace of Spades i guess. My only assumption is that they think it's going to make ace feel less special or something even though there's more gun types than hand cannons in the game. Just a thought.
Edit: i Understand it's a bug for cold front i saw the patch notes. I was speaking for all kinetics since in destiny 1 you could have firefly on a kinetic weapon and it was fine and yes it was always a fire explosion. the topic is about not having the perk on kinetics not about cold front. i just cold front was just an example since they removed it instead of thinking it would be cool to have it on kinetics and fix it.

Because Bungie is against fun

I had so many different kinetic weapons in D1 with Firefly. Not sure what the big deal is. Hero Formula Last Extremity Hung Jury Imago Loop Harrold Smite of Merrain Adept Exile Student Fatebringer Free Will III Angels Advocate Badger CCL Cocytus SR4 Hand of Judgement Keystone Not Like the Others The Wounded Treads Upon Stars Cryptic Dragon Ace of Spades I'm missing some but you get the point.

Firefly has always been buggy, it caused many many crashes for people in d1, to the point some people flat out couldn't use anything with it on. I imagine it randomly rolling on a weapon it wasn't supposed to was something they probably wanted to get fixed ASAP.

11 RepliesBecause it is going to be exclusive to VoG kinetics.

12 RepliesThe problem is----like Vanguard and Crucible tokens---we are stuck with a system that has out lived its usefulness. IN the Vanilla D2 weapon system, energy weapons had a specific purpose....and the only energy weapons were primaries. So it was no problem limiting certain perks to certain weapaons because everyone was going to have some sort of energy primary equipped. But when we returned special weapons to the game with Fosaken.....all this became a problem. as most people in PVE equip some sort of special weapon in the energy slot unless they are being forced to run weapons with champion mods. IOW I think Bungie is doing it so as not to devalue Ace of Spades as an exotic (its primary exotic perk is that its a kinetic weapon with Firefly). But the problem is that the system we got stuck with doesn't make very much sense given where the system is now....and it was only kept to soothe the bruised egos of the Weapons Team that gave us vanilla Destiny 2. This whole system needs to be overhauled....and returned to something like Desitny 1. I know Bungie doesn't like to "look backwards". But they need to accept----like with unlimited infusion----this current system isn't working, and adopting it really wasn't a step forwards.

10 Repliesit worked but only 60% of the Time.. cuz this Weapon lacks the Code that makes Firefly work like on Ace of Spades perk even if this Perk did not worked half the Time it still was Hella Fun having this Perk on a Kinetic... it fell like it was supposed to be there but was a Bug made by Bungie its Sad they Removed the Perk... i liked that the Smg could Create Warmind Cells with a Firefly kill but in the end... lets Hope they add this back in just on another kinetic... like a Raid Weapon

It's an energy weapon only perk. Because it procs elemental damage having it on a Kinetic weapon has problems. The reason for this is Kinetic weapons have NO elemental damage so it's bugged.

Because its bugged and not supposed to be there
