Scrapping Modded weapons

[Mandrake42]

If you scrap a weapon that has a bunch of mods on it, do those mods get added to your workstation/ineventory or do you just get the screws/wood etc?

I'm not positive on this, but I've noticed that mods that I make are left in my inventory even if the gun is transfered to somewhere else.

I don't know what happens to mods that come on guns you find, or what happens when you scrap one. I haven't tried scrapping a gun yet, that sounds like a pain. You have to drop it on the ground don't you?

No you do not get the mod

You're best bet is if you find a PLAIN Fat man WITH mods, is to make the STANDARD mods on the PLAIN one.

Then if you find a LEGENDARY, attach the BETTER mods you got from changing mods on the previous

if you scrap a modded weapon you get recources from it and the mod is gone.

the mods you see are the ones that were replaced when you modded the weapon. the created mods currently on the weapon are scrapped along with the weapon.

Good question, not sure what happens. But for the exp bonus I usually strip all the modded gear I find by replacing everything with the "standard" version before selling or scrapping the item. However if you really do get the mods when you scrap that's probably a faster alternative without the exp gain.

With guns you can just scrap from the weapons workbench.

^^ As stated, scrapped weapons with mods are converted to parts (at a much reduced rate compared to make the mod).

If you want to keep a mod from a weapon you picked up to add it to another weapon, you need to mod it to replace the mod you want to keep (use a standard stock you have on hand for example). Then that upgraded mod will go to your inventory and you can then add it to another weapon.

You dont get the mods but mods give more parts per scrap, albeit less than they cost to make

Oooh. Ok this explains why I have some mods in my workbench. I assume you can apply those ones directly to another applicable weapon without spending the normal resources since they are already built?

Correct, and this can be incredibly awesome when you find/buy guns that have mods you currently can't craft.
