Starfield has many features and mods that encourage players to keep returning for more. Weapons, in particular, have numerous mods that allow players to come up with unique builds for varying combat scenarios. While Starfield has a lot to offer, it sometimes fails to explain how things work, like removing weapon mods, for instance.
Players who want to get rid of specific weapon mods will be pleased to know they can remove and replace them. This means that Starfield players can continue using specific weapons by enhancing their stats and adding new mods. This guide will illustrate how players can remove weapon mods along with other helpful tidbits.
How to Remove Weapon Mods in Starfield
To remove weapon mods in Starfield, players should follow these simple steps:
- Find a weapon workbench. Players can easily find weapon workbenches at The Lodge on New Atlantis or any Outpost.
- Use the workbench.
- Select a weapon from the inventory.
- Select the appropriate mod slot that needs to be removed.
- Select No Mod from the options provided. Players can also replace the mod with another one.
It is worth noting that once a mod has been removed, it cannot be added again unless the player has the resources to craft it. Keeping this in mind, it's important to really think things through before removing mods without a plan in mind. To avoid wasting resources, players should ensure the mod that needs to be removed will not be needed again.
Swapping Mods in Starfield
Interestingly, players can save themselves the hassle of removing mods completely by swapping them for a new one. If the No Mod option is unavailable, players can instead select another mod from the list. The new mod will be installed for a fee, of course, which includes the cost of removing the mod and the installation cost of the new mod.
Tips for Removing Weapon Mods in Starfield
- When removing mods, take special perks into consideration that enhance weapon uniqueness and rarity.
- Legendary, Epic, or Rare perks cannot be removed.
- Players can swap between mods to keep special perks intact.
With the information provided above, players should now be able to easily remove and swap mods while taking essential tips into consideration to avoid wasting valuable resources.
Players who lack crafting skills will not be able to craft the mod they removed until they upgrade their skills.
