Weapon Mods

Quick info on the weapon modifications that are available, what weapons they work with and the effects they have.

Getting Started

There are currently 41 weapon mods to unlock for Gunheart's weapons via the loot containers. Each weapon can have up to 4 slots allowing for multiple mods to be stacked for that weapon. Weapon mods also have rarities which increases the effectiveness of the mod while reducing any downsides if applicable.

Getting Mods

Mods are unlocked via loot containers which can be acquired by completing missions and other challenges. In the Bent Horizon (starting lobby) head over the the Payola-Saurus (giant pink station) to see if you have any loot to crack open. Use the bats or multi-tool to bust them open and cross your fingers for a weapon mod to drop.

Equipping Mods

Head over to Gunstr (giant orange station) in the Bent Horizon or in the pause menu to equip weapon mods. Hover over the desired weapon and click on the gear icon to select the details panel for that weapon. On your left will be all unlocked mods that are compatible with the weapon, and on the right will be the mod slots that you can equip.

Additional mods slots can be purchased with cash up to 4 total. Mods can only be equipped to a weapon one time (although the same mod can be applied to different weapons simultaneously), and you the effects of mods will stack. This allows you to stack bonuses from some mods to counter-act the downsides from others, or to unlock new functionality entirely.

Testing Mods

Best place to test your mod configuration is in the Firing Range. You can teleport to the Firing Range while in the Bent Horizon using the Gunstr interface (either use the one in-world or the pause menu version). Mods are applied real-time to your weapons so it's quick to load them up, blast a few targets to feel them out and then try another combination. You can also reconfigure mods in mission using the Gunstr interface in the quick menu, so feel free to try new combinations if your current setup isn't the best answer to whatever mission you're tackling.

Parting Thoughts

Endless combinations

With this fairly open-ended mod system it's quite possible you'll find combinations that don't have the expected effect. We've done our best to catch these bugs, but if you do happen to find something either let us know here in the forums or on the Gunheart discord[discord.gg].

Also send us your ideas for future mods, or suggestions on how to make some of the existing ones more exciting. We're excited with the power of this weapon mod design and want to continue to feed more into it to further expand the possible weapon creations.

Thanks and happy hunting!
