Mod System Update
Friends!
We are pleased to present a significant update to the mod system, bringing a host of changes to the game this fall. Below, we outline the key innovations and enhancements that will make weapon progression even more engaging and beneficial for every player.
Quick Summary of Changes
- Mod slot counts have been increased to 9 for weapons and 3 for gear.
- You can now equip all available mods on a weapon simultaneously.
- Each mod now provides a direct stat boost—no more useless mods.
- Early-stage upgrades have become more valuable: initial mod levels now grant more substantial bonuses.
- Through weapon progression, players can now earn up to 10,000 parts, enough to fully upgrade weapons with Very Rare (blue) tier mods.
- The Spectre gear set: modding for this set will be disabled, and all parts spent on mod upgrades will be fully reimbursed.
- These changes apply to all weapons and gear released or upgraded since September 2024.
Detailed Breakdown
Expanded Mod Slots
One of the most noticeable changes is the increase in modification slots: 9 slots for weapons and 3 for gear. Previously, the system allowed only a limited number of mods; now, you can use up to nine mods on a single weapon. This removes the risk of wasting parts on an ineffective build, as weapon performance now scales with progression.
Mod Balance and Upgrade Costs
We reworked mod bonuses across levels so that even early tiers offer noticeable improvements. In the previous system, initial upgrades had minimal impact. Now, even early-level mods contribute meaningfully to stats like damage or other attributes, potentially swaying firefights. The overall progression model remains intact—you unlock new mods and slots as you level up—but progression is now more beneficial from the start. Upgrade costs for some mods have also been adjusted.
Effectiveness by Mod Level:
| Level | Stat Boost (Before) |
Stat Boost (After) |
| 1 |
20% of max bonus |
50% |
| 2 | 35% | 70% |
| 3 | 50% | 83% |
| 4 | 70% | 93% |
| 5 | 100% | 100% |
Progression Enhancement
Weapon and gear progression now includes more levels, resulting in a significantly higher part return. As a result, progression has become the primary source for parts—up to 10,000 parts per weapon (previously 3,000).
Applicability of Changes
Weapons
All weapons and gear released or upgraded since September 2024 now have expanded mod slots, with a maximum of 9 for weapons and 3 for gear. If a weapon previously had fewer than 9 available mods, the count has been increased accordingly.
Older (pre‑Sept 2024) weapons have also been updated. Their slot counts now match the number of previously available mods, capped at 9. You can find the full list of weapons in this category in the original article.
