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.

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

Damage alone is boring!
Give us MOAR!

For reference:

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

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: 3%
Enhanced: 5%
Complex: 10%

Stacking penalties apply

Note: Absolute and effective range stays the same, if optimal matches effective, the mod stops giving any benefits.

---

Pulse modifier:
Reduces the charge time on weapons
Standard: 7.5%
Enhanced: 12.5%
Complex: 17.5%

Stacking penalties apply

---

Burst Amplifier:
Increases the damage and ROF of a weapon, but reducing clip capacity and range.
Standard: +2% to damage and ROF of weapon / - 7.5% to optimal and effective range, -10% clip size
Enhanced: +4% to damage and ROF of weapon / -10% to optimal and effective range -20% clip size
Complex: +8% to damage and ROF of weapon / -15% to optimal and effective range -30% clip size

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

---

Field Amplifier:
Increases the range and clip size of weapons, but reduces damage and ROF
Standard: +7.5% to optimal and effective range, +10% clip size / -3% to damage and ROF of a weapon
Enhanced: +10% to optimal and effective range, +15% clip size / -5% to damage and ROF of a weapon
Complex: +15% to optimal and effective range, +25% clip size / -10% to damage and ROF of a weapon

Stacking penalties apply

This is all pure win, bump.

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.

Huh, then tighten the HMG reticule.

Yup.

Well thought out! Excellent ideas

+1

Can I has a bipod too?

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

I'm not so sure about a pure rof bonus, as it is better than a damage bonus in all but a few special cases.

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)

Kitty I want an answer :(

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 was.
Edit 2: Added three new modules, ROF regulator, Damage regulator and Power Siphon.

Damage Regulator:
Increases the damage massively, at the cost of ROF:
Standard: +11% to damage / -10% to ROF
Advanced: +12% to damage /-10% to ROF
Prototype: +15% to damage /-10% to ROF
Note: Used to augment a weapon to a different beast. For example a normal AR --> Breach.
The cost being that you would have one less high slot than if you just used that weapon in the first place.

Increases the ROF massively, at the cost of damage:
Standard: +11% to ROF /-10% to damage
Advanced: +12% to ROF /-10% to damage

Note: Used to augment a weapon to a different beast. For example a normal Breach --> AR.

Power Siphon:
Increases your suit's CPU/PG at the cost of damage from your weapons:
Standard: +5% to CPU/PG / -2% to damage
Advanced: +8% to CPU/PG / -3% to damage
Prototype:+15% to CPU/PG / -5% to damage

Dispersion is hip fire accuracy.

+1 surprised this doesnt doesn't have blue tags yet.

I really want to slap 4 ROF regs on a suit with an SMG.
Just to see what happens.
