SPARKs' Weapon Upgrade/Mod Slots?

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Just a quick question here folks...

Did WotC add weapon upgrade/mod slots to SPARKs' main guns?

Or was this a side effect of one of the mods I use?

IIRC, SPARKs' weapons didn't have mod slots pre-WotC :/

[ErikVeland]

Yes

[Zyrrashijn]

Yep, SPARK guns are moddable now.

Thanks for the reply you two :)

Necro'ed my thread because I've two new questions...

1. Do SPARKs get a Breakthrough for adding a third weapon upgrade slot for theirguns on vanilla WotC?

2. Not exactly related to the posted topic question... but how do you increase SPARKs' "hacking" ability? I currently have two SPARK units in game both of whom already have max gear (Tier 3 weapons and bodies and Bits) and yet both of 'em still only have 30 hacking points each.

Unless you use a mod such as "Hacking+" or a mod that adds items that can increase the hacking stat ("Grimmie's loot mod: PCS addon" for example) there is no way to increase their hacking to acceptable levels

Thanks for answering item number two, I really appreciate it :)

It's a shame the Devs didn't treat SPARKs' "Hacking stat" similarly to how they did it for Specialists. But then again SPARKs were probably meant as tanks anyway instead of hacking tools like Specialists' drones. And it might even be that the hacking skill for SPARKs was just an after thought added onto them.

From my experience in WotC, there is no breakthrough for SPARK weapons. I assumed they would share upgrades with cannons...but thats not the case unfortunately.

Well to be honest even specialist's hacking is pretty underpowered late game, why would I bother risking to buff the sectopod for a 40% chance of disabling it when I could just have a Psi Ops use stasis or my grenadiers to shred the armour ?
