Starfield offers an immense universe ripe for exploration, but it's also a universe filled with adversaries, such as pirates and rival factions, ready to challenge you. To survive these encounters, your weapons and equipment must be top-notch. By modding them, you can make your gear incredibly versatile, enhancing your survivability and combat prowess.

Equipping Mods to Weapons and Equipment: A Step-by-Step Guide

  2. Gather Resources:

    • While discovering a workbench is a crucial step, it's just the beginning.
    • Most mods can't be applied immediately; you'll need specific materials acquired through exploration.
    • Some mods also require certain research skills, so gather these materials diligently.
  3. Visit a Research Station:

    • To access mods, head to a research station in the game.
    • In the research station's menu, choose whether you want to unlock weapon mods or spacesuit mods.
    • Here, you can unlock mods if you possess the necessary resources.
  4. Unlock Mods:

    • Once you've selected the mod you wish to unlock, you'll need the required resources to proceed.
    • Unlocking mods through the research station grants you the ability to use them.
  5. Craft and Equip Mods:

    • With the unlocked mods, you can craft and equip them at the respective workbenches.
    • For weapons, visit the Weapon workbench, and for spacesuits or equipment, use the Spacesuit Workbench.
    • Remember, you may also need specific skills, such as Weapon Engineering and Spacesuit Design, to access more advanced mods for your gear.

By following these steps, you can enhance your weapons and equipment, ensuring you're well-prepared for the challenges that await you in the vast and mysterious universe of Starfield. Happy modding!
