Weapon variety and Modifciations

[Asheki]

Mods vary greatly i think... from err...
Clips, to... There's too many to list?

[ChaosOneX]

mods are made up of slots as follows, stock, magazine, barrel, and sight

I've seen a bayonet go on a grenade launcher, I'm guessing that's a barrel mod

Okay so it's similar weapon modifications that BRINK had? but much more indepth?

[Asheki]

I guess, but I haven't played Brink in forever. But not all weapons have all mod slots, some have different ones, others.. not at all.

So from what I am getting to understand is that certain weapons have a set amount of mod slots. Do some "special mods" take up more slots? also, do you have an idea of what the cap on mod slots are currently?

plus the perks you enable for each loadout will greatly affect the weapon stats too between perks, weapons and mods theres a whole world of opportunities.

[Asheki]

The guess would be that the max is 4, one for each. And depending on weapon drops yeah, you might find like one pistol that doesn't have mod slots.. but a different pistol that is more like a revolver that has a barrel mod slot.

No idea about special mods.

From the main site buddy:http://www.defiance.com/en/game/technology/weapons/

I'm pretty sure Desidus is right, those are simply the weapon types. For example, assault rifle is a type of gun but the AR15, M4 and AK-47 are all assault rifles. Likewise pistols are a type of gun and the M1911, Glock 9mm and Desert Eagle are all types of pistols. Half the fun of a game like this is discovering new gear, and they could use a random generation loot system similar to Borderlands so there could be literally millions of gun configurations and that would be nearly impossible to list.

Now I'm not saying Defiance's final list will be that extensive but you can bet there will be more than one kind of gun per gun type available. I'm pretty sure your question will be answered in a matter of hours as people start playing anyway.

Questions that haven't been answered already won't be answered until March 22nd, that's when the Beta NDA lifts. The only other source of information until then will be Trion, and their streams on wednesdays and fridays. Also, all guns in the game were said to be hand crafted, and not created via a random 'build' generation.

So without being too specific.... don't worry man.
