What are Weapon Mods in Remnant 2?
Weapon mods are items that grant special abilities to your weapons. They can be installed and swapped onto any standard weapon in the weapon mod slot.

Being able to swap out weapon mods gives a lot of flexibility to your builds and weapon of choice. Having these options in tough situational fights is essential to overcoming the many hurdles in Remnant 2.
