Bullet Reservoir
Feeling pretty dumb but what does this do for the pistol? I thought it upped your ammo capacity to 20 bullets, but I still shoot 10 before an empty magazine. Did I misread or something?

You load two magazines in each time. After the first magazine is in, drop the now empty mag and add another.

Your firt magazine is drain to reservoir. You drop it and place anotherone

Took me a few magazines to realise, load one magazine to fill the reservoir then load your second magazine.

It's the only good mod for the pistol other than the laser sight. Too lazy to look in the scope and it ends up being a useless mod compared to the laser. Skip the 10 rez scope for the pistol.

Just my 2 cents

I think the extended clips and lasers are the only worth while upgrades on all the guns. The additional clips is really nice for the SMG because you can't eject unfinished clips.

I even dont like the reflex, but it marks the enemy or better weak parts of them orange.
So, even when not often use, it can become handy to find best target.

Yes I agree with you. If you follow the "tutorial" and spend the only 10 res you have which most people will do. Then you learn about the weak spots and that the holo scope can help you spot them. You can still see them without it though. I just think skipping it and getting a QOL reservoir or laser earlier would be better.

The weak points thing seems pointless. They're clearly visible normally. It makes sense in RE4 with the regenerators, but it's just bizarre here.

Yeah, I wasted it on the scope. Though, I haven't got the laser so it has a little use.

Wish they would allow refunds so you can unmod it fluidly during gameplay and not at the end of the game.

I dont know the name, but for that "electrical manta thing" it helps. It changing the position on the zombies.

But it's a huge lump. You can always see it.

You don't ever want those things to get inside someone anyway. Leave the corpses 'occupied' and you never have to deal with that mechanic.

Grenade launcher is also nice. Very nice. If for no other reason than to carry another grenade from place to place.
