Can I add mods to sniper weapons? Or any weapons?

[moiraesfate]

It doesn't seem to matter what I use, the only mods I have the remotest chance of using are scopes, muzzles, and brakes. NONE of the weapons ones have any other mod slots. Lizzie, Her Majesty, Dying Night, Breakthrough, Widow, or even the new awesome sniper whose name I can't remember atm. None of them have mod slots even though I seem to be getting mods in the game as drops. Shotguns, automatics, etc, none of them seem to have a spot for mods either. Errata, Scalpal, etc, none of them have a spot for mods either even though there are blade mods in the game. Even at 5+ level. Is there something wrong with my game or is this normal? Why bother putting mods like pax in the game if it can't be used in anything?

Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy. I love using sniper but I don't want to blow everyones head off all the time. Or worse, make them explode.

apart from using mods, no. almost all iconics will not have mod slots. i remember reading the latest patch notes that "newly crafted weapons" have two mod slots, might only be for higher rarity ones though, and obviously they have to be non-iconics so there is a trade off.

That's idiotic.

Welcome to crafting as a sales bulletpoint over a feature.

Finally installed cyber engine tweaks. Spawned myself a hot pink vest. Thought about using it to rush crafting because I did a lot of crafting in launch game and eeeeeeeh, why bother. Would probably have still run into "There is not a solid crafting blueprint for that thing you like" issues anyways for non iconic.

Going to see if I can find a mod for it. You know something is wrong when players have to fix what the devs messed up.

The iconic weapons for the most part have the unique things they do as iconics rather than taking mods. The Xmod 2 Iconic weapons do have mod slots, and I think (not sure about this) that you can at least put new mods into those to overwrite the old ones.
