Quick Links
One ofOutriders’best features is the mod system.
Nearly every weapon and armor piece has a mod equipped, granting it a powerful perk.
These vary in usefulness, ranging from extra weapon damage to fundamentally changing the way a skill works.
With that said, not every mod is created equal.
Certain mods are far more powerful than others, making it difficult to decide which mods are worth using.
This guide only covers a few mods you could find on Enoch.
If you want a comprehensive list of every mod in Outriders, consult theOutriders Fandom Wiki.
Tier 1 Weapon Mods
How to obtain these mods:Dismantle rare and epic-quality gear.
Clip Combustionis deceptively strong.
Since the damage scales with level, this strategy is viable in all high-end Apocalypse Tier content.
Fireworksdeals an absurd amount of damage considering how easy it is to proc.
This is a fantastic mod for leveling and low-tier Apocalypse Tier Expeditions.
Put this on rapid-fire weapons for the best result.
Vampiresynergizes well with any Anomaly build that uses their abilities often.
Pyromancers in particular will want this mod to stay alive in the midst of combat.
Just be sure to land a final blow with your weapon every few seconds to keep the effect active.
Tier 2 Weapon Mods
How to obtain these mods:Dismantle epic-quality gear.
Anomaly Enhancementworks as a great stopgap mod for Anomaly builds while they work on obtaining the Fortress T3 mod.
Bone Shrapnelis one of the strongest on-kill effects in Outriders.
Claymoreis one of the strongest T2 on-hit mods you’ll find.
When coupled with debuffs, the damage from Claymore can half-health most enemies on its own.
Anomaly builds can also use this to finish off weakened enemies.
If you need a sustained DPS boost, look no further.
Perpetuum Mobilegives you infinite ammo if you’ve got the option to keep activating its effect.
Tier 3 Weapon Mods
How to obtain these mods:Dismantle legendary gear.
Dark Sacrificeseems like a high-risk, high-reward mod on the surface, but this isn’t really the case.
Leech can easily counteract the health lost, allowing you to benefit from a constant 25% damage increase.
Firestormcreates a pillar of flame at the target’s location, inflicting constant Burn procs while dealing respectable damage.
Most Anomaly builds will want this mod on their weapons, especially Pyromancers.
The extra survivability from Fortress lends itself well to Devastators.
Snipers and other rifle types can make great use of this mod.
Omenapplies a powerful debuff that causes the target to take more damage from all sources.
Coupled with the forced Bleed proc, you could dish out some absurd damage.
Pair this weapon mod with some status damage multiplier mods on your armor to substantially boost your DPS.
All mods listed are usable with any class.
Tier 2 Armor Mods
Bloodlustis effectively Killing Spree for your armor and stacks with damage-boosting mods.
Unless your aim is poor, this is a great choice if you have a mod slot to spare.
Emergency Stancegives you the Devastator’s Golem ability for four seconds, granting 65% damage resistance while active.
This mod is fantastic for quickly fixing your character’s poor survivability while farming for better gear.
Untamed Powerhelps with killing fodder enemies while you’re casting your abilities.
Vampiric Magsynergizes well with Bone Crusher and other Bleed mods and skills.
If you’re able to apply Bleed consistently, this mod makes Perpetuum Mobile unnecessary for Firepower builds.
Since Anomaly builds rely heavily on their skills to damage targets, this effect is always active.
Captain Huntergrants a massive damage boost while you’re damaging Elites, the toughest enemies in the game.
Power Assimilationis a must-have mod for Anomaly builds.
Sharp Eyegives slightly more Firepower than Bloodlust, stacks with that mod, and is easy to proc.
This is mandatory for all Firepower builds.
Stare into the Barrelis excellent for builds that focus on fighting at Close Range.
Tricksters and Devastators will get the most use out of this mod.
Unstoppable Forceis deceptively good.
It grants Anomaly Power for scaling Resistance Piercing, something you should be doing with an Anomaly build anyhow.
Gaining up to a 50% Anomaly boost is nothing to scoff at.
Devastator Mods
Devastator builds currently focus on Bleed or Armor scaling.
Mods that grant any effects that buff these effects are fantastic.
