Overview

Weapon mods can increase ammunition capacity and damage, reduce spread and weight, or add special equipment like scopes.Fallout: New Vegas loading screen

One of the features added to New Vegas is the ability to custom modify certain base weapons. While in Fallout 3 this was limited to the creation of custom weapons, New Vegas takes this a step further by allowing the creation of weapon variants based on basic weapons by adding weapon mods.

Unique weapons cannot be equipped with weapon mods, with the exception of the weathered 10mm pistol, the Mercenary's grenade rifle and the holorifle. While unique guns usually have better base stats, Obsidian Entertainment introduced this inherent drawback of unique weapons to balance out unique and normal weapons and make the choice less of an obvious decision and more of a preference. However, some unique variants have both mods and better base stats, such is the case of the varmint rifle's unique variant, the Ratslayer, which has all of the mods the varmint rifle can be equipped with.

By themselves, the weapon mods serve no function but, once attached to their specified weapon, will change the characteristics, look and/or function to create a distinct variant. The weapon mods range from scopes and silencers to extended mags and several in-between. In the case of the varmint rifle and other such weapons there exists more than one different type of modification. While you are not limited in the amount of total mods you can apply to a single weapon, you are limited to one of each type of mod per single weapon and therefore are not able to stack attributes like increased rate of fire.

Once a weapon mod is attached to a weapon it cannot be removed and remains a permanent feature of that weapon, along with its added attribute. However, this could not always be a good thing. For example, extended magazines is almost always beneficial unless the magazine must be reloaded on a shell by shell basis (ex: cowboy repeater), forcing a longer reload (not necessarily forces the reload to be longer, since pressing the fire button stops the reload), or a scope on the other hand has pros and cons, as it may increase maximum range, but makes it harder to use in close combat situations.

The addition of a mod to a weapon will permanently increase the overall monetary value of that weapon by the value of the mod, even if the weapon is completely broken at the time it is applied.

Usage

A wide variety of weapon mods are available from merchants for Guns, Energy Weapons, and even a few explosives. Attaching them is as simple as using your Pip-boy and opening the mod menu for your weapon.Fallout: New Vegas loading screen

Weapon mods are attached via the Pip-Boy. To attach a weapon mod you must have both the weapon it is intended for and the mod in your inventory. Highlight the weapon you want to mod within the items section of your Pip-Boy, then select the modding menu via the button as indicated in the top right of the info panel. After you have selected a mod, the weapon name will have a + after it to show it has been improved, e.g. Varmint Rifle+. Once a weapon mod has been installed it cannot be removed.

Notes

  • Weapon mods have a weight of "0.00" listed in their stats where most weightless items have no number displayed at all, none add weight to any weapon, but some mods do reduce the overall weight of the weapon they are equipped on.
  • Gun Runners' Arsenal adds 40 weapon mods to weapons in the base game.
  • If given to a Companion or other NPC, a modded weapon's appearance will revert back to the weapon's world model, but the mods will otherwise still work. (Example: If you give a silenced 12.7mm SMG to a companion it will appear as if the silencer is missing, however the weapon will still be silenced.) The "+" addition to the weapon's name can also disappear until taken back.
