IR-50 Brimstone Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: The mod's boosted damage, burning, and Panic effects make the gun much more effective at clearing ZEDs. Reduced accuracy isn’t a major drawback, since it’s intended for close-range combat.
Barrel
Explanation: The Magnesium Accelerator makes the gun significantly stronger in DPS and accuracy without any drawbacks besides a small Dosh cost.
Underbarrel
Explanation: The Laser Sight can slightly make up for the weapon's low accuracy, but since you mainly play up close, you can leave the underbarrel empty to conserve Dosh.
Sight
Explanation: The main benefit of the Reflex Sight is the increased handling, allowing you to switch weapons faster. It also improves aiming slightly, especially since the gun’s iron sights are poor.
Magazine
Explanation: The Drum Mag lets you unleash more fire before needing to reload. The slower reload and handling are worth it for the sustained damage output.
Internal
Explanation: The Fast Action receiver gives the gun free additional damage and a faster fire-rate for no drawbacks. A clear choice for better DPS.

This mod setup for the IR-50 Brimstone boosts its DPS in the close to medium range, where both the weapon and Perk perform best. These upgrades make it even easier to mow down fodder ZEDs without needing precise aim.

As for the alternatives, these mods provide different pros and may suit your playstyle better:

  • Nano-Thermite Rounds: This ammo choice is good if you want to focus more on the Burning DoT over direct damage.
  • Extended Mag: This also has a bit of additional ammo but a faster reload than the Drum Mag.

▲Jump to the Top of Firebug▲

Dragon's Breath Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: These shells increase your damage, burning, and panic application without any drawbacks.
Barrel
Explanation: The Compensator reduces recoil without any drawbacks, allowing you to line up your next shot easier.
Underbarrel
Explanation: Similarly, this foregrip reduces recoil and increases shot accuracy without any negative effects.
Sight
Explanation: Choose the Red Dot Sight instead of the alternative since this has a higher Zoom Critical Damage bonus, which is highly beneficial for shotguns.
Magazine
Explanation: The Drum Mag allows you to keep on blasting away before having to reload, especially with the bursting alternate fire mode.
Internal
Explanation: This is the best internal mod since it increases penetration, which is perfect for shotguns to deal more damage against clusters of ZEDs.

These mods boost the Dragon's Breath shotgun accuracy and damage, and topping it off with extra penetration blasting away groups of ZED with ease. The improved accuracy also helps extend its effective range.

As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Laser Sight: Increases accuracy even more. Replace the Enhanced Foregrip with this if you can handle the gun's recoil.
  • Extended Mag: This also has a bit of additional ammo but a faster reload than the Drum Mag, but it makes the alternate fire less viable.

▲Jump to the Top of Firebug▲

Incinerator M7 Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: Tar Fuel increases the burning AoE's duration and scale at the cost of a bit of damage. This is still ideal since the Incinerator's strength is in AoE burning application.
Barrel
Explanation: This mod increases the AoE of your flames at the cost of reduced range. Since long-range combat isn't the focus of your Perk, the trade off is minimal, and the larger AoE is well worth it.
Underbarrel
Explanation: The incendiary grenade launcher adds another reliable source of fire damage, giving you more ways to handle ZED groups, especially when your main magazine runs dry.
Magazine
Explanation: Having more fuel in the tank is more valuable than a faster reload, letting you keep burning longer before running low.
Internal
Explanation: Although the burn damage ticks more slowly, its increased total damage makes it worthwhile and helps conserve ammo.

These mods enhance the Incinerator M7’s core strength: its massive area-of-effect burns in close to medium range. While some of the mods reduce the weapon’s range, the trade off is worth it, as range was never its strong suit to begin with.

As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

▲Jump to the Top of Firebug▲

Vulcan TA Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: This mod reduces accuracy but greatly increases AoE scale and burn damage. The accuracy drop is hardly noticeable, making the extra damage well worth the trade off.
Barrel
Explanation: The Heat Sink mainly increases the Fire Rate and reduces the recoil, making it easier to handle up-close.
Magazine
Explanation: This reduces the ammo cost for both fire modes with no drawbacks, making it a clear choice for conserving ammo and reloading less often.
Internal
Explanation: The reduced ammo cost is well worth the slight damage drop, as it lets you keep firing longer before reloading, resulting in higher sustained DPS.

These are the best mods to enhance the already powerful primary fire of the Vulcan TA by boosting its damage and lowering ammo costs, resulting in even higher DPS.

▲Jump to the Top of Firebug▲

Pyre .357 Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: Electric Ammo is the best choice, as it boosts accuracy and is highly effective against many ZEDs. Its shock affliction can also paralyze enemies, making it a powerful and reliable option.
Barrel
Explanation: The Suppressor is the clear favorite since it has the most benefits of increased accuracy, reduced recoil, and gives more Zed Time gain for no drawbacks.
Underbarrel
Explanation: The Laser Sight gives the gun a bit more accuracy when hipfiring, allowing you to run-and-gun more accurately in close quarters.
Sight
Explanation: The Red Dot sight is slightly preferred since it has better accuracy stats and Zoom Critical Damage than the alternative.
Magazine
Explanation: Faster reload speed is essential, as the gun only holds 6 rounds that can be emptied quickly.
Internal
Explanation: This internal mod is the best choice, offering a significant boost to fire rate and accuracy. While it slightly reduces the stumble affliction, the increased DPS makes it well worth the trade off.

The Pyre .357 is one of the highest-damage sidearms available, and these mods enhance its versatility by improving accuracy for hitting longer ranged ZEDs while also boosting reload speed, damage, and close-quarters prowess.

As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Acidic Ammo: More useful if you plan to take out more armored targets.
  • Reflex Sight (Pistol): Use this over the red dot if you prefer the faster weapon swap speed.

ConTek CSG Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: Incendiary Shells are a strong choice for this shotgun, adding both Ballistic and Heat damage to make it a powerhouse for clearing out fleshy ZEDs.
Barrel
Explanation: Suppressors are a great choice for this shotgun, improving accuracy, reducing recoil, and increasing Zed Time gain with no drawbacks.
Underbarrel
Explanation: The Laser Sight improves hipfire accuracy, allowing you to more accurately hit critical spots without having to ADS and maintain better mobility when fighting ZEDs up close.
Sight
Explanation: The Reflex Sight is preferred as it greatly boosts handling, allowing you to switch weapons faster and offsetting the handling penalty from the Drum Mag.
Magazine
Explanation: Having more shells in the magazine is generally preferred over faster reload speed. It's better to have additional rounds ready than be forced to reload in the middle of a tough fight.
Internal
Explanation: This receiver boosts the shotgun’s penetration power, making it much more effective at clearing waves. It also slightly improves accuracy with no downsides.

The ConTek CSG is a precise shotgun effective at both close and medium ranges. These mods further enhance accuracy and handling, along with Incendiary Shells, which are great for dealing with large numbers of fleshy ZEDs.

For alternatives, you can make the ConTek CSG even more powerful at range with these mods:

  • Slug Rounds: If you want even better range, Slug Rounds make this incredibly accurate even from afar, so you can pick off Husks and Bloats.
  • Shotgun Choke: Turns up the accuracy even higher at the cost of slightly more recoil.
  • Red Dot Sight: Exchanges the handling speed boost of Reflex Sight for more accuracy and Zoom Critical Damage.

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo

G33 Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its personal page!

Part Mod Attachment
Ammo
Explanation: Freeze Grenades make the G33 a crowd-control powerhouse, freezing hordes of ZEDs with its great AoE.
Barrel
Explanation: The G33 has very limited range, with projectiles dropping off noticeably even at medium distance. The Extended Barrel helps reduce this drop, making it easier to land accurate grenades.
Sight
Explanation: The Red Dot Sight is the only available option and is a useful upgrade, as the G33’s iron sights are quite poor.
Magazine
Explanation: This is the best choice when combined with the bonus ability that boosts damage at low round counts. The low magazine size is offset by the reload speed bonus.
Internal
Explanation: This pairs perfectly with the Freeze Grenades mod, allowing you to apply Cold Damage and freeze ZEDs more effectively.

The G33 becomes an excellent crowd control weapon when equipped with Freeze Grenades and the Affliction Amplifier, effectively freezing waves of ZEDs with its strong AoE.

As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Eight Round Cylinder: The better choice if you do not have the Bonus Ability that increases damage at 1/4 ammo left in the chamber.

▲Jump to the Top of Engineer▲

Ifrit Mods

Sight
Explanation: The Red Dot Sight is preferred for the Ifrit, as its slightly better bonuses suit the weapon more than the improved handling offered by the Reflex Sight.
Magazine
Explanation: Attach the Extended Canister to get a lot more shots off before having to reload.
Internal
Explanation: This internal mod further reduces ammo consumption for the Secondary Fire mode, which is the preferred option for maximizing DPS.

This mod setup for the Ifrit improves ammo efficiency and enhances accuracy, making it more effective at clearing large waves of ZEDs. Alternatively, use the Slow Tick Receiver if you prefer using the primary fire mode’s laser.

Magazine
Explanation: The Extended Mag is ideal for this fast-firing weapon, allowing you to sustain automatic fire for longer.
Internal

Best Kiba Mods

✘ Click on the Mod to see its page!

Part Mod Attachment
Coating
Explanation: Better for high difficulties since Large ZEDs spawn earlier. Allows you to get one free charge attack upon stunning one.
Grip
Explanation: With this handle, you can cause more damage as well as build Stun more reliably.
Blade
Explanation: Again, it would be best to bring the Lightweight Blade since it mainly increases the stats a Ninja should need: those being Attack Speed, Damage, and Stun Affliction.
Guard
Explanation: To balance out the stats, the Ornate Guard should be slotted in. You will still have Attack Speed and Damage while avoiding -65% block stamina.
Pommel
Explanation: Balanced Pommel allows you to lessen the negative implications of the lower block stamina due to the Lightweight Blade while further increasing the speed and damage of your attacks.

For the best Kiba mod setup, it is paramount to build up on damage, attack speed, and handling, even at the cost of Block Stamina. As a Ninja, you will rarely come to a point where you must worry about your block stamina, so it would be best to build on this. As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Serrated Blade - If you are planning to build around bleed builds using the Kyuketsuke skill.
  • Light Guard - If you are more confident with your parries and would prefer more damage.

Pommel Ring
Explanation: Further increases the accuracy of your throws. However, if you prefer more projectile speed, it is okay to opt out of equipping an attachment!
Ammo Pouch
Explanation: Further increases the accuracy of your throws. However, if you prefer more projectile speed, it is okay to opt out of equipping an attachment!

For the best Kunai mod setup, building up on enfeeble, ranged damage, and attack speed is the better option since the weapon does not have a parry. With a ranged playstyle to support the Kiba or Katanas, the enfeeble allows the Ninja to set up its targets for easy parries. As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Magnetic Ammo Pouch - If you would like to increase the quality-of-life when it comes to picking up the blades.
  • Sai Blades - If you would like to focus more on melee DPS.

Explanation: A general boost to the performance of the Yumi without negative implications.
Quiver
Explanation: Since you cannot pick up Exploding Arrows, you will need more arrows to sustain throughout the match.
String Explanation: Further enhances the explosive damage this bow set-up can deal.

For the best Yumi mod setup, leaning on explosive damage for enhancing the Ninja's horde clear is the better option. If you have extra Dosh, this setup alongside a kitted-out Kiba can allow the Ninja to have a versatile setup between clearing and answering all ZEDs.

Pommel
Explanation: Balanced Pommel allows you to lessen the negative implications of the lower block stamine due to the Lightweight Blade while further increasing the speed and damage of your attacks.

For the best Katana mod setup, it is essentially an upgrade to the Kiba wherein you build the same and get damage, attack speed, and handling, even at the cost of Block Stamina. As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Serrated Blade - If you are planning to build around bleed builds using the Kyuketsuke skill.
  • Light Guard - If you are more confident with your parries and would prefer more damage.

Explanation:Allows the Ninja to space himself as he focuses on a ZED. The slow also makes parrying much easier!
Blades
Explanation: Generally increases the stats of Shurikes with no downsides.
Ammo Pouch
Explanation: The additional fire rate makes it easier to stun a single target Large ZED, which is enough even with the lower capacity.

For the best Shuriken mod setup, building up on enfeeble, ranged damage, and attack speed allows for an early setup weapon for the Kiba. Again, the enfeeble allows the Ninja to set up its targets for easy parries. As for the alternatives, please refer to the following:

  • Six-Point Star - If you are planning to build around bleed builds using the Kyuketsuke skill with a budget, but the lack of accuracy requires you to be closer to ZEDs.
  • Magnetic Ammo Pouch - If you would like to increase the quality-of-life when it comes to picking up the Shurikens.
