How to Fuse Modchips

Learn how to fuse modchips in Gotham Knights to create better gear. Discover tips on rarity, level, and type combinations for optimal results.

Alright, so you've been finding these things called modchips around Gotham, right? They're pretty neat because they let you tweak your gear, adding buffs to things like your suit's health or boosting your critical damage. Basically, they make your gear better and increase its power rating. You'll start finding them around level ten, and later on you'll get gear with slots to actually put them in. Just remember, like everything else in Gotham Knights, modchips come in different levels and rarities, and you get them randomly from enemies, crimes, and chests.

Now, you might end up with a bunch of modchips you don't really need. Instead of just letting them clutter up your inventory, there's a cool way to make use of them: fusion. You can take any four modchips you don't want and combine them to make a new one. The trick is, the modchips you use really matter for what you get back.

Here's the lowdown on how to fuse modchips:

1. Head over to the Gear/Mods menu.
2. Press the D-Pad Up / Down button (it'll show as "." in some menus, but it's the D-Pad up/down).
3. Select the four modchips you want to fuse.

It's pretty straightforward, but here's where it gets a bit strategic. The quality of the modchip you create really depends on the ones you sacrifice. If you fuse four modchips that are all level eleven, the new one will probably be around level eleven too. But, if you throw in a higher-level modchip, the resulting one will get a significant level boost. The same goes for rarity. If you fuse four modchips of the same rarity, you'll usually get one of the next higher rarity. For example, four uncommon modchips will likely fuse into one rare modchip. However, if you mix things up, like one rare and three common ones, you'll probably end up with just an uncommon modchip.

You can also mix different types of modchips – suit, melee, and ranged. Each modchip you use has a 25% chance of determining the type of the resulting modchip. So, if you use four melee modchips, you'll definitely get a melee modchip back. If you mix them, it's a gamble.

Pro Tip: For the best results, try to fuse modchips of the same rarity and type. If you're trying to boost the level of your fused modchip, make sure to include at least one higher-level modchip in the mix.

Oh, and one more thing: if your inventory gets too full, the game will automatically fuse your unattended modchips to make space. So, keep an eye on that!
