Sorry for the delayed response, I never got a notification of your follow-up question...
I referred to them as "mods" in my previous message, but that's an older term used to refer to several "accessories" in the game that can only be worn while you have specific types of weapons equipped...if you have the correct type of weapon equipped, then you will be able to wear those accessories in order to gain access to powerful elemental attacks, or to gain bonuses to certain stats...here's a brief list of the "mods" you can find in the game:
- Bullet Mods - Previously referred to as "Bullet Mods", these mods can be used with most (not all) sidearms and rifles.
--- 6.9-11 "Testify"
--- 21.29 "Monomyth"
--- 80.2-8 "Behold"
- Blade Mods - Previously referred to as "Grips", these mods can be used with most (not all) bladed weapons. (Also compatible with the "Machete" 1-Handed Tool)
--- Templar Ring
--- Marauder Ring
--- Artificer Ring
- Fist Mods - Previously referred to as "Wrists", these mods can be used with most (not all) knuckle weapons. (Also compatible with the "Spiked Beads" Focus)
--- Outlaw Ring
--- Berserker Ring
--- Corsair Ring
There are also a total of three different "UBM" Accessories (Universal Barrel Mods) that can be used to get additional "hidden attribute" bonuses while using most guns...they are called the UBM Stalker, UBM Specter, and UBM Shadow.
Finally , there are Accessories that will grant small attribute bonuses and allow the wearer to use additional 2-Handed Firearm types in battle...they are called the "Longshot" TAC, "Close Call" TAC, and "Steady" TAC, and can be equipped by the following characters:
- Nolan
- Carmen
- Elam
- Isaiah
- Lucas
- Stark
Note that if you do not have an appropriate weapon equipped, then the accessories listed above (other than the TACs) will not appear as options when equipping accessories. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any more questions or comments! :D
