Modding & Upgrading Gear

Enhance your utility in GUNTOUCHABLES: Mod grenades, hacking devices, and deployables. Upgrade gear with crafting materials for tactical advantages.

Beyond weapons and armor, the broader category of 'gear' in GUNTOUCHABLES encompasses many items that can be modified and upgraded to enhance your operative's overall effectiveness. This includes utility items, cybernetic enhancements, and specialized equipment that can provide crucial advantages in combat, stealth, or exploration. Investing in your gear is just as important as upgrading your firearms and protective suits, as it can unlock new tactical possibilities and improve your survivability.

Gear in GUNTOUCHABLES can refer to several items, such as grenades, medkits, stimpacks, hacking devices, and even certain types of cyberware that aren't directly integrated into your combat or defensive systems. While many consumables are single-use, some utility items or specialized equipment might have upgrade paths or mod slots.

For instance, grenades might have different tiers of effectiveness, or you might find mods that enhance their blast radius, damage type, or duration. Hacking devices could be upgraded to bypass more complex security systems or reduce the time it takes to complete hacks. Some specialized gear, like deployable turrets or drones, might also be subject to modification and upgrades, allowing you to customize their offensive or defensive capabilities.

The process of modding and upgrading gear often follows similar principles to weapons and armor. It typically involves visiting a workbench or a specialized vendor and using crafting materials and currency. The specific materials required will depend on the type of gear you are enhancing, with rarer materials often needed for higher-tier upgrades or advanced mods.

Examples of Gear Modding & Upgrading:

• Grenades: Upgrade to higher damage tiers, unlock new damage types (e.g., EMP, Incendiary), or increase blast radius.
• Hacking Devices: Improve bypass capabilities for advanced security, reduce hack time, or increase success rate.
• Deployable Turrets/Drones: Enhance weapon systems, increase durability, or add new functionalities like cloaking.
• Utility Belts: Increase carrying capacity for consumables or provide passive buffs.

Crafting materials are essential for these upgrades. Keep an eye out for common components like Electronic Components, Polymers, and Scrap Metal, as well as rarer materials like Advanced Circuits and Exotic Alloys. These can be found through looting, dismantling unwanted items, or purchasing from vendors.

The ability to mod and upgrade your gear allows for a highly personalized gameplay experience. By carefully selecting and enhancing the gear that best suits your playstyle, you can overcome challenges more effectively and gain a significant edge in the dangerous world of GUNTOUCHABLES. Always check your inventory and available crafting options to ensure your gear is up to par.
