It's dire not to overlook the power of weapon mods, as they can boost the damage of weapons, the stats of weapons, and even change the weapon type to a different one, such as the Energy element. Now, to attach a weapon mod onto a gun or melee weapon, players need to have at least one Ranger in their party with a skill level placed into Weapon Modding.

Once they have a character capable of modding weapons with the respective skill, players will then want to open up their inventory screen. Clicking on the desired weapon that players would like to mod will open up a small menu of actions. Players will want to click on the "Modify Weapon" option, which will then open up another screen. This is the modification screen. For different weapons (ranged and melee), there are different slots in which various weapon mods can be placed into.

  • Melee: Grip and weight.
  • Ranged: Barrel, Choke, magazine, scope, and under-barrel.

Once players have acquired weapon mods from various sources in Wasteland 3, they will show up on the modification screen, along with the weapon that is being worked on. Clicking on a weapon mod will equip it onto the weapon. If players are finished and confident in the mods they have equipped, they can then press the "Confirm" button, which will finish the process and save any changes.
