There are 7 possible mods, and all weapon mods have 3 levels - basic (no prefix), advanced, and superior. Bonuses listed as x/y/z correspond to those 3 levels.

  • Stock - 1/2/3 Guaranteed damage on a miss.
  • Auto-Loader - 1/2/3 Free Reloads per mission. (Reloading doesn't cost an action)
  • Extended Magazine - 1/2/3 extra ammunition before reloading.
  • Repeater - 5/10/15 percent chance to instantly kill an enemy, regardless of remaining health. ("Executed" text will pop up when this triggers)
  • Scope - 5/10/15 Aim bonus when using the upgraded weapon. 10/15/20 Aim bonus when using the upgraded weapon against targets not in cover. (Does not apply to secondaries)
  • Laser Sight - 5/10/15 Crit chance when using the upgraded weapon. (Does not apply to secondaries)
  • Hair trigger - 5/10/15 percent chance for each shot to not use an action.

    The "sight" is actually called a "scope" in-game, which helps differentiate it from the laser-sight mod.

  • Does the Repeater mod apply to secondary weapons? Your answer doesn't explicitly state it does not, but it's unclear to me (because it would be the only weapon mod which behaves this way).

  • Actually, same question for the Stock and Hair Trigger mods. (I'm thinking about Sharpshooters using their pistols, specifically)

  • The only way the repeater works with secondary weapons is triggering off of DoT Ammo. The Pistol is the only secondary weapon that uses the Ammo bonuses. Hair trigger could theoretically trigger? But I don't think you can get actions during Enemy Phase so it's moot.
