So level 1000 I get all 4 slots on my gun unlocked, at level 1800 I get 1

[Orge Lambart]

So why is that, level 1000 all my weapons had every mod slot unlocked, now I'm 1800 and each gun has one slot unlocked.... come on man what's up with dat?

[Thoraxe]

pretty sure its just random chance, and how generous the Server Gods are.

[Grimwyrd]

Yeah, that was an annoying jump for me too. I went from getting blue VBI TACC Assault Rifles that were nice and had four mod slots and useful synergies like Veteran/Machinist/Survivalist/Outlaw to getting ones with no mods and useless synergies like Assassin/Cannoneer/Quartermaster/etc (useless because the mods aren't dropping).

I've been assuming that as I continue to level, blues will begin matching up free mods slots with these "advanced" synergies and up around 4-5k EGO I'll be getting advanced synergy blue weapons with four mod slots again. But who knows... with this funky system.

Use the weapon and as you become more experienced with it you have the option to "add" more MOD slots.

Considering you don't know this... I'm gonna have to see a screenshot before I believe your stats.

I know what you mean. At EGO 2100 every weapon I find only has one slot available on it. I'm hoping it comes back around at a higher EGO and starts giving 4 again.

No way in Hell am I paying 100,000+ Ark Salvage just to add one random slot on an EGO 2000 weapon.

I don't have screen shots, but I can attest to the issue. My favorite gun is the VBI TACC AR, and at around 1250 EGO rating the blue ones that show up in vendor specials "rolled-over" and went from coming with four mod slots to coming with zero mod slots.

I've since seen other weapons do that. As they start getting "better" synergies on them, their "# of mod slots" rolls over and goes back to zero to start counting up again.

[Verios44]

Yea I just started noticing this too. I am ego 1650 and most of my weapons now drop with 1 or 2 mod slots.

100 k salvage for a mod slot at EGO 2000 .....doesn't want to think about prices at 5000

[Arsenic_Touch]

Yeah. sitting at 1200, the system is just screwy.

[shotgunEX]

if you havent noticed it yet, weapons are tiered at higher egos.

1k+ ego means you will get 1k ego weapons that are 0-1000 in tier.
then its 1000-1500
1500-1750
1750-2000
im only 2100 but ive noticed that weapons do tier out like that.
ex: i have weapons in shop that are 1750 and some that are 2000, they all have very good stats on them. like 20% inc to crit. 15% reload speed.
but they all have 1 mod slot unlocked.
my hunch is that i will reach another tier at 2500 where the weapons will have even better stat rolls and more mod slots.
then at 3k it will probably "reset" meaning the stats will get better but the mod slots will go back to 1.
this is all speculation though. it's what i've noticed.

Those newly tiered weapons with only 1 opened slot often comes with 1 more atribute then before (so u can get for example white weapon with +x% mag AND faster reload, or even two same atributes)
