Mods[edit]

Weapon mods improve the quality of weapons within the game. They are attached to one specific weapon, and are gone once the weapon is lost. An exception is when your weapons are confiscated, and you retrieve them from the armory. In this case your mods will have been taken off and you must reattach them.

The weapons listed below are the ones capable of being modded. Weapons with "N/A" in a category already have that feature built in. Mods cannot be used on melee weapons, demolitions, and one time use weapons (like the PS20 and LAW).

  • Accuracy: Improves weapon accuracy.
  • Clip: Increases clip capacity.
  • Laser: Provides a laser sighting to show where an accurate bullet will hit.
  • Reload: Improves reload time.
  • Scope: Adds a scope to the weapon. Note: having a scope attached but not using it decreases accuracy by 20% (unless a laser mod is turned on).
  • Recoil: Reduces recoil when firing a weapon.
  • Range: Increases the effective range of the weapon.
  • Silencer: Adds a silencer to the weapon, preventing enemies from hearing the weapon.
