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

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.

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

Huh?
Which one?

Edit: So a while has passed since I posted this. I decided to rewrite it a bit for some proper balance.
I don't promise 140% balanced stuff, but better than it is currently.

For reference:

Damage mods do:
Standard: +3% to damage output
Enhanced: +5% to damage output
Complex: +10% to damage output

Actually, someone made a video.
Apparently, the HMG has an extremely tight laser like dispersion.
He tested it and showed how it matches the laser in accuracy.

What would the ROF enhancers do to my kaalakiota sniper? Seeing as they increase dispersion and such, what would happen? Would my sniper become inaccurate? Or would my scope fly upwards after each shot (due to kick)
