Weapon Mods | Remnant From The Ashes Wiki

Equipping Mods in Remnant

Each standard Weapon in Remnant comes with a Weapon Mod slot where you can equip a single mod from your collection. 

This applies to both Hand Guns and Long Guns, allowing players to equip up to two mods at once, switching between them as they swap weapons. 

The unique Boss Weapons come with pre-installed mods that cannot be removed, but generally have more powerful effects. 

Mods can be freely swapped at any time, even in the midst of combat although this is generally not recommended as the game does not pause even while in the menu.

Weapon Appearances

Equipping mods onto weapons will change their appearance depending on the world or enemy type the mod was acquired from. Each world has a prevalent theme which is reflected in the weapon's appearance once a mod from that world is slotted in:

Using Mods in Remnant

Mods require Mod Power in order to use their abilities. Mod Power is generated primarily by landing hits on enemies with the weapon whose mod you wish to charge. A Mod's charge level is indicated by the outer circle of the mod's icon on the bottom right of the HUD. This circle fills up as you deal damage to enemies.

Some mods can also hold multiple charges at once which will be indicated by a charge counter on the top-right of the mod's icon. Mod Power can also be generated via other means such as passive effects granted by Traits, Armor, Amulets and Rings. Touching Checkpoint Crystals will fully recharge most mods. Note that when swapping mods on a weapon, they will be completely emptied and will require charging before you can use them. For this reason, it is best to swap mods and/or weapons at a Checkpoint Crystal.

Once a mod is charged, players can press the cast button to activate its effects. These effects vary widely, and activation methods can differ from mod to mod as well. Some mods are cast immediately, while some allow you to hold down the cast button to lock-on to targets. Many mods also act as alternate firing methods for the Weapon they are equipped in and activating them swaps the weapon's firing mode, allowing the user to manually aim and fire the mod's ability.

Refer to each mod's individual page for details on their effects, activation mechanisms and more.

Acquiring Mods in Remnant

Mods are acquired primarily via crafting. McCabe in Ward 13 is the resident Weapon and Mod crafter and will help craft your mods for you when you provide her with the materials.

Mod-crafting materials are typically obtained by defeating Bosses, although some are also obtained by completing certain objectives. Crafting Mods also requires Lumenite Crystals and scrap. Lumenite Crystals are acquired by defeating Elites which spawn randomly throughout the overworld and in dungeons. Their arrival is signified by a single sharp chime.

Improving Mod Effectiveness

A Weapon Mod's effectiveness is primarily affected by the level of the Weapon that the mod is slotted into. The higher the Weapon Level, the better the mods attached perform. What parameters are affected by Weapon Level varies from mod to mod. Some will have their damage increased, while others will have their duration extended, among many variables. Mods are also affected in various ways by your Traits and equipment. Each mod's individual page lists all mod effects and their modifiers.
