The guide discusses how to add weapon modifications (mods) in Cyberpunk 2077 and some of the best ones available in-game.
Modding a weapon in Cyberpunk 2077 involves filling in any of the available slots on a weapon with modifications. These can add various effects or increase the stats of the weapon they are attached to.
How to add modifications to weapons
Adding modifications to weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 requires you to open the in-game menu, select Inventory, and then Weapons.You need to choose the weapon, the empty mod sock, and then the available mod that you want to install. Check out the tier of the mod before applying.
To add modifications to a weapon in Cyberpunk 2077, follow these steps:
Can you replace or unequip mods from weapons?
You cannot replace or unequip mods from weapons in Cyberpunk 2077. This was possible before Patch 2.0 and the mechanic has since been removed. Now, you will notice a “Slot Already Filled” notification coming up if you try to replace an already-installed weapon mod with another one. There is an exception to this norm though, namely the Chimera Mods.
What are Chimera Mods?
Chimera Mods (Firecracker, Wallpuncher, Hackatomy, Severance) are special modifications that are made from theActive Chimera Core. They can be unequipped from weapons. You can get the Active Chimera Core after defeating theMilitech Chimeraduring theSpider and the Flymission (Phantom Liberty Main Job). You get only one Active Chimera Core per playthrough and thus can craft only one of the available Chimera Mods.
Best weapon modifications in Cyberpunk 2077
Cyclone, Wallpuncher, and Equalizer are some of the best weapon modifications in Cyberpunk 2077 during our playthrough. Cyclone allows you to make unlimited combo attacks from 2-4 seconds while performing a Sprint Attack along with a successful attack adding a +5% attack speed buff for 2 seconds. This mod can be a significant part of a melee build lover’s arsenal.
Wallpuncher requires you to have played the Phantom Liberty DLC and defeated the Militech Chimera to get the Active Chimera Core. It provides the option to charge a weapon to 200% of its capacity, along with +100% armor penetration and no penalty for penetrating cover. Finally, Equalizer gives you an added edge when facing Elite enemies, adding +4-20% damage.

Other Considerations
When considering customizing your weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 with modifications, keep in mind the level of the weapon you are attaching the mod to. It will be counter-productive to attach such to low-level weapons since mods can’t be removed (other than the Chimera Mods). Similarly, you should try to craft/find higher tiers of the mods you prefer, if possible. You also need to see which of the weapon modifications available to you suit your current build and playstyle.
