That's the impression I'm getting from this guy.

There are several Synergies that do not require mods. You simply have to have two weapons with the same synergy name equipped (1 main and 1 secondary) for the effect to work. These are: Hard-Boiled, Machinist, Nano-Executioner, Nano-Mastery, Outlaw, Sawbones, Survivalist, Veteran and Wrecker.
The others you have to earn/buy, then equip MODS to the weapon. As you equip more MODS(with the same synergy name), you will activate more perks. These are: Assassin, Brutal, Cannoneer, EGO Precision, Prepared, Quartermaster, Rolling Thunder, Run-n-Gun, Scavenger and Stalker.

Can anyone confirm this? Or know of any official information regarding this? I realise the latter is unlikely though, still I hadn't heard of this until I came across that thread.
