Weapon/Tool/Gear Mods

[LordNavarre]

1) Do mods stack in a device, will 2 of the same mod type accumulate? (i.e. 2 Damage mods

2) Done a Tier 3 mod trump a tier 2 mod so that tier 2 does not accumulate?

3) What are some of these? (i.e. Velocity, does it extend range? )
( Does explosion only work on grenade launchers? )

1) They are cumulative, judging from my tests with damage and jetpack lifetime mods which are fairly obvious to test.

2) Mix and matching tiers does not seem to matter.

3) I think I know what most of them do, and that several are additive via multiplier to base stat (0.4 damage will increas a 500 dmg weapon by 200, and another 200 with a second) But explosion either needs to be stacked too much for me to have bothered to have meaningful effect and I don't think Velocity adds range, just increases the bullet speed. It is quite possible to shoot beyond your weapon's range and you'll notice what the range does is add a fractional damage multiplier so say 750ish damage become 180ish if you shoot beyond the range of the weapon but manage to hit something anyway. I haven't actually tested if this increases range but the range stat doesn't go up is why I didn't test it, see no reason to think it would but I could be wrong.

If yer curious what the light aperture and light power mods do - wider light and brighter light, respectively.

I figured out most of them except the way the explosion one really didn't seam to do much and velocity I suppose, if the bullets travel faster, then mobs are less likely to side step your shot at long range.

Thank you for your added input on your own testing.
