Upgrading 'light shining in the darkness'...not working? (RESOLVED)

[Drewcifer]

I bought the .45 AP HD slide and the silencer. When I equip the .45 handgun and select 'mod', nothing shows up. Is there a step I'm missing? Should I reload a previous save?

As far as i know you cant add nothing to that gun.

You can't put mods on unique weapons.

[Drewcifer]

Gotcha. I thought I read on the wiki page you could, but I'll take your word on it. I'm a newb to this game anyway. Thanks for the input, folks!

with a couple exceptions, the weathered 10mm for one, thump-thump for two.

The only way to mod unique weapons is to use game mods to do it. Try googling "Weapon Mods Extended Fallout New Vegas" and something useful should pop up.

Thump Thump is not moddable. The only exceptions are the weathered 10mm, the sturdy caravan shotgun and the holorifle. They're all DLC weaponry, two of them from preorder packs.

Another unique you can mod is the mercenary's grenade rifle. DLC weapon as well.

Oops, I meant to list that one and not the sturdy caravan shotgun, which doesn't have mods.

ALSID is a unique weapon, like YCS/186 or the Survivalist's Rifle. You can't mod most unique weapons.

mercs grenade rifle, right, i had remebered one of the grenade rifles could use mods, and i got mixed up which one specificly, thanks.

i dunno if i would count the holorifle too, because it doesnt have a common variant.

Which is annoying, since that would benefit more from a choke than any other shotgun in the game.

Well, technically it's an offshoot of the Grenade Launcher that functions like an energy shotgun, so the concept of uniqueness is sort of fisheyed in that case.

You need the GRA .45 handgun to mod it.

There are no .45 weapons in GRA.
