Small guide to the Salvage Matrix.
The Salvage Matrix Mod guide for Defiance .By [TBH]Clikk/Eveie.
First of all I will start this guide by giving you a few basic things I learned from the Beta.(tIPS)
(1)If you want to add mod slots to a single weapon you must unequipped it then wait ten minutes, then re-equip it.
(2)Don't mod a powerful weapon with a single MOD slot,Trust me you will regret this because you cant take the mod back just wait until later in the game to mod a weapon.
(3)Once you max out a weapons xp bar you no longer gain skill xp towards that weapon class (this is to be fixed in live.)
(4)Once you reach iron demon ranch the vendor has a full cache of mods for weapons. Only buy the mods for your guns that have the appropriate slots for those attachments.
Ok.What is the Salvage Matrix In Defiance?
Breakdown to Resources / Take a piece of gear and break it down into Ark Resources.
Attach Mods / Take a weapon and add mods.
Remove Mods.
Retrieve Mods.
Add Mod Slots / take a weapon without the maximum number of mod slots and add a mod slot to it. The slot that is added is random.
Several weapons have modification slots (stock, barrel, magazine and sight) which can be utilized to upgrade the weapon. New items such as scopes, barrels, and bigger or different kinds of magazines can be added.
Each Weapon in Defiance has between zero and four Modification slots.
There are four kinds of Modifications.
(1)Barrel. Crit/Damage.
(2)Stock. Effects Stability.
(3)Magazine. Effects Reload time or Capacity.
