Mods and Results

[starfox104]

Hello. Almost finished the game and one thing i could not understand: the mods and the results. What i mean to say is they add a % value to weapon/armor that gives more power or other things. But my question is: when you get a better mod than the one installed (25%damage 10% laceration) and he shows more 35% damage 15% laceration and if you look at your weapon bar it gives a red bar or more, what to think about this? In the two who is right in the result? Its a little confuse but now i'm getting to farming them (legendary) and i'm getting this results and now i don't know what to install.
A explaining here is appreciated. Thanks and good hunts.

It all depends on what you want to use the weapon/armor for. I stealth outfit does do much good to increase the long range weapon defense but you do want to increase its stealth abilities. You also look at the weapon/armor for what is is better at without mods, then use the best mods you have to increase those for max results.

Tripcaster with fire, blast and shock but it is very strong at fire or blast but very weak at shock. Mod it so it is even stronger at blast and/or fire but if you lose a little shock it doesn't matter. Mod another weapon that has stronger shock.

It is the way I crafted all my stuff and I hope it makes sense.

And it makes sense. Understood. So the idea is to maximize what weapon you want to use using the outfit that helps doing it or maximize it. Got it.
But what about the Shield Weaver ( i saw that doesn't have any mods and don't support them) so other question: Nora Heavy Protector + Shadow Shapshooter Bow doing 216 of damage. If i change the outfit to Shield Weaver the damage output will decrease? Even if that doesn't show..??

Think of the outfits as defense and what you are going against. The weapons are for attacking but what outfit you wear does not effect the weapons and vise a versa.

Once I got the best mods crafted to my outfits and specialized them for different machines, I also did the same with my weapons and what is the best mods for the weapons and the machines I will be going against.

Example: I am going to take out a few snapjaws. Their weakness is fire and strength is freeze. I sneak around (wearing my maxed out stealth outfit) and set a few very strong blast trip wires to knock off their armor and then a few fire trip wires very close to the blast trip wires. Then just lure them into my traps. Once they figure out I am in the area, I switch my outfit that is maxed out to protect against freeze.

When I go on the attack, to pick their freeze sacks off and more armor, I will use my tearblast arrows and as they get closer hit them with the fire arrows from my other bow. Not only is it a lot of fun setting the traps but then coaxing through the trip wires and then destroying them as they chase me around.

Got it. Resuming: choose a weapons to use and maxed it out. Then choose a outfit and do the same and finally when confronting some type of machine, select the weapons that do the most damage but selecting too, the best outfit to defend against it and the type of attack that does, reducing the damage we take. Yeah, i found my problem then because undestood one thing right but not the other (texted by other player).
Gonna do that, re-create all to match my choose.
Thanks for the help and explanation SniperGirl
Happy hunts

Happy to help

One more thing, don't do more than one outfit for the same defense. If two are close see which one is the best at the defense. You can keep most the outfits, one of the packs you don't fill up easy.

Ok. I don't have a outfit with with equal mods installed. I based in a variety (see what the slot are like 2 or 3 empty), then see what that outfit will base by and with that i'm going for the mod for maximaze it but now i'm searching for legendary mods with 3 spec so i can see what the best to use. Thanks.
