Fine-Tune Your Build Like an SHD Tech
Gear mods are the small details that make the biggest difference.
Each one lets you push your build further — maximizing damage, durability, or skill performance.
💡 Quick Take: Mods are color-coded stat upgrades you attach to specific gear slots.
🔴 Offense, 🔵 Defense, 🟡 Utility — one color, one focus, one stat.
GEAR MOD SLOT TYPES
| Slot Type | Color | Common Attributes | Typical Gear Slots |
| Offense | 🔴 | Crit Chance %, Crit Damage %, Weapon Damage %, Headshot Damage % | Gloves, Backpack, Chest |
| Defense | 🔵 | Armor (flat), Health, Armor Regen, Damage to Elites Reduction | Mask, Chest, Holster |
| Utility | 🟡 | Skill Haste %, Skill Tier, Skill Power, Status Effects %, Ammo Capacity | Backpack, Gloves, Holster |
ATTRIBUTE ROLL RANGES — ENDGAME TARGETS
| Attribute | Typical Range | Notes |
| Crit Chance % | 1.2 – 1.6 % | Keep ≥ 1.4 % for CHC builds |
| Crit Damage % | 6 – 12 % | Higher rolls scale multiplicatively |
| Weapon Damage % | 8 – 15 % | Chest/backpack rolls are best |
| Armor (flat) | 7 – 10 k + | Core for tank builds |
| Health | 5 – 9 k + | Pairs with Armor Regen |
| Skill Haste % | 8 – 12 % | Faster cooldowns |
| Skill Tier / Power | 1 Tier or up to 10 % | Direct skill output boost |
⚙️ Pro Tip: The white bar under the number = roll quality.
90 % + = God-roll.
BEST-IN-SLOT (BIS) MOD PRIORITIES
🧡 DPS / Crit Builds
Priority: Crit Chance % → Weapon Damage % → Headshot Damage %
Slots: Gloves / Backpack / Chest
Why: Crits scale faster than flat weapon boosts.
💙 Tank / Survival Builds
Priority: Armor (flat) → Armor Regen % → Damage to Elites Reduction
Slots: Mask / Chest / Holster
Why: Boosts uptime and survivability in elite fights.
💛 Skill Builds
Priority: Skill Tier → Skill Haste % → Skill Power
Slots: Holster / Backpack / Gloves
Why: Shorter cooldowns = higher sustained output.
FARMING & CRAFTING TIPS
🔹 Blueprints
Earn via Projects, SHD Tech Vendor, and Seasonal Events.
Control Points Lvl 3 +, Bounties, and Weekly Projects drop missing blueprints.
Check Crafting Station Counter to track your progress.
🔹 Vendor Rotation
Visit Cassie Mendoza + Base of Operations vendors weekly.
Rotation resets every Tuesday.
Note high-roll mod listings.
🔹 Crafting Bench
Unlock blueprint → craft mod → recalibrate best rolls.
Deconstruct low-bar mods (< 85 %) for materials.
QUICK “GOOD VS TRASH” CHECKLIST
✅ 85 – 100 % bar → Keep / Equip
⚠️ 70 – 84 % → Use for leveling or crafting
❌ < 70 % → Deconstruct
🧠 Rule of Thumb: Every 1 % higher roll on key stats adds up across six gear pieces.
ADVANCED OPTIMIZATION TIPS
Stack same-type mods only below caps (Crit Chance cap = 60 %).
Maintain 1:10 ratio — 50 % CHC + 500 % CHD ≈ ideal.
Skill builds: Stop at Skill Tier 10 — beyond that, Skill Power mods taper off.
Named gear (e.g. Battery Pack) grants hidden mod synergy.
WEEKLY MOD ROUTINE
| Task | Frequency | Objective |
| Check all vendors | Every Tuesday | Look for high-roll mods |
| Control Point runs | Weekly | Targeted Loot: Gear Mods |
| Craft blueprints | Ongoing | Fill gaps in mod library |
| Deconstruct junk | Weekly | Material income |
| Visit Cassie Mendoza | Weekly | Hidden inventory drops |
🧩 Optimize smarter — not harder.
