It sounds like you might be using the Overload Machine Gun, which has been known to be buggy. Some mods just won’t work on certain exotics either due to them having inherent break abilities or special effects that override those mods. For example, exotics like Le Monarque or Thunderlord can cause issues. So it really depends on the weapon you’re using.

I’m also using Delicate Tomb and the mod doesn’t work at all for me. Seems like a common issue.

Just to clarify, even exotics with subclass verbs like Shatter or Slow can interfere with those champion mods. I had the same issue with Heavy Machine Guns—they just refuse to function properly.

NightfallWarrior13 -

Same here! It’s not just in the Nether, this issue pops up in Nightfalls too. I’ve only seen the Anti-Barrier Sniper working so far. It’s really disheartening when none of the mods function properly.

FuryFlameX -

I had some success with the Anti-Barrier Sidearm—it worked fine shooting through Taken bubble shields. The Anti-Unstoppable Fusion also kicked in after ads for a bit. But yeah, the Overload Machine Gun is totally not functioning for me either. No icons show up on any of the Machine Guns I’ve tried, which is super frustrating because I’ve been enjoying Lodestar.

So you can’t stun the overloads with Lodestar? That’s a bummer since it seems to just jolt instead.
