Got the idea from here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1144679#post1144679

Damage alone is boring!
Give us MOAR!

Ideas:

---

Recoil Absorber:
Reduces recoil of the weapon when ADS
Standard: 10%
Advanced: 15%
Complex: 25%

Stacking penalties apply

---

Dispersion reducer:
Reduces dispersion of weapon when hip firing
Standard: 5%
Advanced: 10%
Complex: 15%

Stacking penalties apply

---

ROF enhancer:
Increases the rate of fire of a weapon
Standard: 4%
Advanced: 6%
Complex: 12%

Stacking penalties apply

Note: ROF increases ammo usage, kick and dispersion, so I thought it would be a good idea to give it a slight edge DPS wise.

---

Clip extender:
Increases ammo capacity of weapons:
Standard: 15%
Enhanced: 20%
Complex: 30%

Stacking penalties apply

---

Muscle memory enhancer:
Reduces reload time on weapons
Standard: 15%
Enhanced: 20%
Complex: 25%

Stacking penalties apply

---

Weapon range enhancer:
Increases the optimal range on weapons
Standard: 2%
Enhanced: 4%
Complex: 8%

Stacking penalties apply

Note: Absolute range stays the same

---

Pulse modifier:
Reduces the charge time on weapons
Standard: 10%
Enhanced: 15%
Complex: 25%

Stacking penalties apply

---

Burst Amplifier:
Increases the damage and ROF of a weapon, but reducing range
Standard: +3% to damage and ROF of weapon / - 7.5% to optimal and absolute range
Enhanced: +5% to damage and ROF of weapon / -10% to optimal and absolute range
Complex: +10% to damage and ROF of weapon / -15% to optimal and absolute range

Stacking penalties apply
Damage mods, ROF mods and range mods also count to the stacking penalties

---

Field Amplifier:
Increases the range of weapons, but reduces damage and ROF
Standard: +7.5% to optimal and absolute range / -3% to damage and ROF of a weapon
Enhanced: +10% to optimal and absolute range / -5% to damage and ROF of a weapon
Complex: +15% to optimal and absolute range / -10% to damage and ROF of a weapon

Stacking penalties apply
Damage mods, ROF mods and range mods also count to the stacking penalties

You, my friend, are scary.

+1

Hopefully they eventually they add weapon module slots for customizing weapons in this manner.

Hopefully they eventually they add weapon module slots for customizing weapons in this manner.

It will take much longer to do this system.
My idea would be probably much easier to do, which means we could have it faster.

Honestly... I think they need to remove damage mods instead of adding more stuff in the H/L slots. Simply because we can never achieve armor vs shield balance so long as damage mods exist to bias one side vs the other.

For tanks, I think we need mid slots ASAP for all turret/dps related modules.

Shield tankers get kin cats.
Armor tankers get damage mods.
What's the problem?

If kin cats affected move speed, maybe I would see them as equivalent.

However... kin cats are 15 PG each... they essentially compete directly with extenders for anything but a very specific shotgun logi build.

I would loooove the hipfire one for my assault scrambler

I think balancing for some of these would be a nightmare, but i agree with the idea of more variation...

I know the numbers are arbitary atm but the RoF/pulse mod is a lot more powerful then i think you realise...
Especially with the way stacking works

Huh?
Which one?

ROF enhancer:
Increases the rate of fire of a weapon
Standard: 4%
Advanced: 6%
Complex: 12%

Stacking penalties apply

Note: ROF increases ammo usage, kick and dispersion, so I thought it would be a good idea to give it a slight edge DPS wise.

Ok for example....

A mass driver with 2-3 more shells. (clip increase)
A HMG with 25-30% more dmg (RoF + Dmg)
Forge gun with a 2sec Charge (pulse)
Manic Shotgun (Rof,Clip increase)

Im not saying these are bad ideas... but could very easily become a mess

+1 Don't see why these aren't in the game already.

EDIT: Also note when thinking about a RoF increase that it increases the likelihood of overheating. On the scrambler rifle especially, that's well worth noting as well.

Also, +1, this is great.

Becuase balance is hard.
