Defiance - How to Mod your Weapon
So you wanna know how to Modify your weapon. To get a weapon like the one below. Well I'm here to tell you how to modify your weapon, and you'll soon Realize that the system is actually very easy to navigate :)
EGO rating
Yes I do have a bit of an ego to me, but thats not what I mean :P EGO is a unique system to the game. The more you progress the higher your ego rating goes, unlocking the ability to access new traits and the ability to use higher grade weapons.
At 50 it also allows you to start modifying your weapon :) So until you get out of the beginner area (maybe 40min of gameplay) you don't really have access to modify your weapon. Which isn't that much of an loss since you'll soon be replacing those weapons.
Weapon and Mod Slots-
So you may of or might not of noticed that mods and weapons both have four [] in their description. looking like so..
Generic Mod
[][][][]
These slots are where what classifies the mod itself, be it the sight, magazine, barrel, or stock. In order to mod a weapon you need to make sure the gun and mod have the same modify slot. for example.
Generic Mod Generic Pistol
[1][][][] [1][][][]
This mod would fit on the pistol as long as it's a pistol mod(which it will say in its description)
Genric Mod Generic Pistol
[1][][][] [][2][][]
Though this mod is for a pistol it unfortunatly wont work since its the pistol doesn't have an open slot 1 for the mod to fit into :)
Is modifying worth it?
Yes, it is. Mods can increase a weapons potential output tremendously.
I have an assault rifle mod, why won't it work on my Assualt Rifle?
This can happen for two reasons.
One - your assault rifle doesn't have an open mod slot for the mod.
two - you dont have a high enough ego for it.
