Starfield - All Weapon Mods EXPLAINED In Detail

[@SwoleBenji]

*Click the "Thanks" button under the video to leave me a donation.* You can have up to THREE of these mods on a single weapon. Here's the fastest way to farm these legendaries: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpvRl2OOj7aoZ7s

[@DarthWamp]

Great video! Appreciate the math for the numbers and work you put in, per your request, ones you may have missed: - One-Inch Punch - Oxygenated (LoL) - Corrosive - Crippling - Concussive - Elemental Thanks!

[@Foxxie0kun]

One-inch Punch is devastating. In my experience it increases projectile count for all weapon types, including explosive weapons like the Bridger and Negotiator, while reducing fire rate and accuracy and adding more recoil. The easiest testing I did was with the Bridger and Negotiator, which fired a total of four projectiles per shot. Don't know if the projectile count differs for traditional ballistic and/or energy weapons. It actually makes automatic weapons so high-recoil as to be almost unusable (Full auto One-Inch Punch Kodama throws your aim straight up after a few shots). Corrosive I would like to see tested for its potential Damage Over Time and Armor Reduction. Elemental would be interesting to see tested because it can randomly pull from Incendiary, Corrosive, Poison, and Radioactive.

[@BeardManAce]

Elemental is also nuts. It can, in my experience, stack several of those 25% max hp dmg over time status effects onto one target.

[@rubinelli7404]

Concussive is one of the best mods you can find. An enemy knocked down is unable to attack you and takes way more damage.

[@jimmygravitt1048]

@@Foxxie0kun Maybe you could answer one of my questions. I have a fully-moded, Legendary Equinox that has furious, crippling, and one-inch punch, how do those stack?

[@ardentdfender4116]

This kind of content and weapons testing of modded stats on weapon is awesome. It helps to properly make sense of the weapons drop mod and exactly how it works. So huge luv for these kind of content video.

[@SavageLu]

Med-Theft doesn’t increase the chance of med-packs dropping, it increases the amount to 2 IF they do drop from someone.

[@TechJoe1994]

I've an eon that does that, not a bad weapon for low level enemies and that's with explosive rounds. Mostly now I use a big bang fully modded for power and with annihilator rounds. 😯

[@pauldefnet7180]

I knew something seemed weird about that one in practice thanks

[@MrDagobert666]

Thumbs up. FINALLY someone who does something useful like this. FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU

[@pauldefnet7180]

Facts

[@ivanDaThug]

The tesla effect is good for companions especially on large mag, fast fire rate guns. Just make sure you stand behind them :)

[@windbeneathmywings4884]

For extended mag you used the wrong code. That's the one you get for modding at a work bench. The one you're looking for should *_double base magazine capacity_*

[@SavageLu]

Got one on a magshear yesterday. 100 shots instead of 50

[@bannankev]

Yup the extended doubles the mag size from default. Seen it on a coachman legendary I got and a beawolf

[@Mutsume82]

Instigating + Handloading is OP i have the advanced razorback with both of it and the damage is usually around 3k+ in stealth but when the handloading volatile kicking in the damage can went up to 7k+ it's hilarious

[@cpt_stupid82]

@SwoleBenji with the titanium mod, the reduced weight makes the ADS faster

[@artoblackwhite4658]

Finally someone explains what handloading actually does, thanks for that

[@joemama114]

Something I've noticed with a bit of study, the DoT damage from special effects doesn't stack, you can re apply it, but it won't deal the damage more than one instance at a time. There seems to be a bit of a pitty to it as well, there's like a several second window where you can't re apply DoT's to a target, but you can still apply it to different targets. The laser skill has no pity AND it CAN stack with itself, meaning you have a 5% chance each hit to light the target on fire and do % max hp damage, and you never get damage fall off from that skill. I could see that getting patched, so far I think it's the only DoT effect that self stacks. All the other ones can apply at the same time with OTHER DoT's but the laser 5% skill seems to be the only one that can re apply before it's dealt it's full damage.

[@timjeezyy]

All I know is that the advanced magshear (obtained for free by stealing from the Best Defense weapon vendor in Hope Town, Polvo, Valo star system), with or without some added mods for increased damage (Magnetic Rails, uranium rounds, and high powered) is great to have because it just melts everything! Magshear beats out the minigun because it has the same fire rate (if you have magnetic rails) but about 3x more damage. Plus the magshear does not have an annoying warm up delay like the minigun. Great info again Benji!

[@andrewmcmillan229]

I had a titanium space adept weapon (tombstone) that I found worth using. It was only useful on space stations and ship boarding, but it was under 1 weight so still worth keeping on me for those situations.

[@timfederwitz]

I found a Furious Beowolf that is burst fire with armor piercing bullets, and it also has a red-dot and suppressor. It is one of my favorites (outside of the Advanced Magshear of course). Because it is 7.77, and you find that all over, it's like endless ammo! Also, because it's burst (and not full auto) it prevents me from draining a clip, but it ALSO means if I put it on target, all hits in that burst are succesive and stack! Also staggers them, stopping them, so another burst, rinse repeat. Flipping amazing! I found a Modified Grendal with the same things minus Furious. So, the Furious Beowolf tends to kill them quicker, but both are great. Because I mainly had been using the Magshear, but still always grabbing all ammo off kills, when I ran out of .50 Array I had over 7,000 rounds of 7.77 mm!! LOLz

[@MrTakashi381]

instigating mod is OP on stealth sniper builds. have it along with hitman mod on my advanced hard target and i deal 3k+ damage on a headshot while hidden. mind that i have invested no points in the combat tree

[@saprone8885]

Instigating + Hitman is also best in slot for the Va'ruun Starshard. Basically any weapon that does a lot of damage in one hit. My Va'ruun Starshard can can crit over 3k twice (burst fire) in one hit, without being in stealth or making headshots. I did heavily invest into the combat tree to do be able to do that though.

[@mitmon_8538]

Ooh, I didn't think about this. Now I may have to do the spawn weapon case tactic to try to get both an Advanced Razorback and Advance Hard Target with Instigating. Either that or Shattering to ignore their armor. I love the Razorback with 2x scope for clearing areas where you don't want the extreme zoom of the long scope sniper rifle. My pre-ADS aiming has never been that good, so I need to be able to aim around faster with less zoom. Plus, if the enemies decide to move around a lot, you can track them easier with less zoom, IMO.

[@sevnsinnz6468]

I was going to say something similar! I have it on my hard target and magsniper as well and it's so op, can't believe he pooped on sniper builds like that!

[@MattyJ55046]

Good video, having chapters is awesome.

[@FlynnTaggart23]

the titanium weapon mod is good for sneaking, take off your suit and grab a light weapon and your sneak ability goes up...

[@chowlol]

They are legendary effects, weapon mods are like barrel, stock, mag, etc.

[@pauldefnet7180]

Now im even more excited to complete my research

[@jeffleung5454]

First off, I love this game a lot & I love your videos bro. I watched most of your starfield vids, but I'm looking for a video on those awesome appeal/clothes this game provides. Could you make one vid that shows like top 10-20 awesome looking clothes & how to get them as well, thanks, hope you gain another 100K subscriber soon Lol

[@artifixer]

07:12 You have a bug or maybe a console misuse. All the Extended mag weapons I had in the game had 2x times the normal ammo. That included Beowulf, which had 60 ammo with the mod.

[@GM-vy1wy]

I have a question about armor. Is it possible to get bolstering, sentinel, and mechanized together on my starborn armor?

[@jeremycronic]

Wow seeing the actual numbers just makes all these mods seem worthless. Good to know. Great work.

[@energyguruuk]

It's cuz the base numbers are so low

[@JAlonge017]

Hey man, you brought up that coachman build and it makes me want to know what other gun built you’ve got I’m sure we’ve all got some and I bet you have great ones

[@joshbaltrusch]

I got a legendary one-inch-punch Maelstrom from the brogan farm on the first dungeon. It that a viable "daily driver"? Or is it gonna be trash? It has corrosive rounds and another perk I can't remember.

[@gehtoodachoppa8603]

I keep a Space Adept Shotty around just for ship jacking sprees. I’d put it in B tier because it is situational but great for its niche use, unlike some others that are just always bad. For a general purpose weapon though it is not great.

[@Ehabins727]

Thanks for the info bro-helps a lot!!

[@MYPSYAI]

I'm pretty sure furious is multiplicative with your skill damage buff, because when I had it on my melee character it added like 12-15 damage per hit, going from 60-100 in one combo.

[@Soothsayer-bp8oz]

The titanium build is amazing for stealth. Especially a sniper build as many sniper weapons are very heavy. 10-15 kg for a hard point, depending on installed mods, and that counts against your equipped weight, making it really difficult to sneak around with your rifle. Without it I can shoot people from a hundred meters and they automatically know where I am even with max stealth and a suppressor, but with it I can hit the same guy 3 times before he even focuses up and starts shooting in my direction and I still won't actually be "detected".

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

Lacerate is amazing on kodamas Furious and hand loading is great on automatics From my experience

[@isaacw8055]

So tesla i think can be really good , kind of like you said on fast firing weapons. I have a legendary smg with it and it does serious work. It procs quite often and it also like spreads through groups thats are close enough together, i think its less about the damage and more about the stun/slowing affect ot does.

[@HoneyBadgerVideos]

attack speed is like 25% damage boost, with the added effect of 25% increased on hit procs.

[@aktideracer8710]

Great video, titanium build is nice on a micro gun or a magstorm, also there is a mod called elemental that I got once on a magstorm

[@JellyDognuts]

Does cornered stack with the wanted trait? Possibly quadrupling damage at low health?

[@darkatdawn1]

extended mag was the mod from weapon bench, it doubles magazine size

[@ryanscottbennett]

For a video could you test if any other skills affect the cutter, like with the rapid reload skill would the cutter recharge faster with rank 2?

[@pauldefnet7180]

Was the first video I looked for when the game was released but sadly only found videos of how to find the mantis and how to become op wish most content creators would teach the important stuff before the game breaking stuff new to your vids just found this and had to vent thanks for video tho first of the topic I've found now

[@Oldtimenattylife]

Super happy with my legendary advanced magshear with shattering, but also got berserker on it so not all great

[@preechr]

Nothing to do with this video. but I thought you might find it interesting that apparently if you avoid the main story quest long enough The Hunter just starts walking around the spaceport in New Atlantis. I saw him walking into the Viewport Bar and had a decent conversation with him. We talked about his suit being intimidating and stuff. He said he wasn't used to people engaging him in conversation. I'm at level 62 atm and haven't collected more than that first artifact, if it matters.

[@SwoleBenji]

He's there at the very start of the game. If you attack him and manage to get his HP low enough he just kinda vanishes.

[@preechr]

@@SwoleBenji that's awesome

[@markw3215]

If stealth was more doable on any breathable air places, then Berserker would be sick for that 50% boost. Heck, you could use it on any opening sneak attack and then quick equip your armor back on. I agree there's better but at least it's better than Bashing. Also, Incendiary seems to be the best "end-game" scaling damage, just because everyone's health pool always goes up as your level goes up, aka Incendiary does more damage as your level goes up.

[@OutboundFlight87]

Any chance you'll do armor modifiers too? I'm very curious about the superior modifier

[@TheVillainInGlasses]

Superior is just the Quality above Advanced for armor items. Weapons only go up to Advanced, but Armor goes up to Superior.

[@h347h]

Can you do this again with max tier weapons with perks? Its hard to tell if this damage is additive or multiplicative at that low a level.

[@gehtoodachoppa8603]

Berserker potentially could be good for a dedicated stealth build where you are going to unequip your gear to greatly reduce your chance of detection, adding a bit more juice to your sneak attacks.

[@chriss6855]

If you're doing sneak attacks, you're better off going for Instigating since it does more damage. And no, you can't have both.

[@michaelehalsey]

Can you get the same mod twice? If so, do they stack. Looks like they can stack based on your holster mod.

[@gregwright615]

Equipped gear and the weight of equipped gear adds penalties to stealth. Equipped weapons count in this equation. So an added benefit of titanium weapons is a decreased sneak penalty.

[@FlynnTaggart23]

i have a extended negotiator, went from 8 to 16 rounds... also seen coachman with 4 rounds...

[@Habanero212]

I'm subbed to you and it still took 3 weeks for this shit to tell me about this video. Damn youtube! Really great video. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@Habanero212]

Meant to ask, are all of these learnable with the mod skill? Like if I have a white hard target, can I put my favorite mods on it?

[@HexxuSz]

Hornets nest is so broken on coach it outdoes heavy weapons by a margin. First thing I did was max my ability to install mods in guns and mostly they are quite boring or weak (I do play in very hard) if only instead of Tesla pylons U could also get some fire for wildlife on heavies

[@energyguruuk]

Instigating has so far been the best mod for anything like varuun weapons or snipers

[@BobMotster]

Hey Benji, do you happen to know how many mods can be applied to a single weapon at the same time?

[@SwoleBenji]

Three is legendary.

[@TheVillainInGlasses]

@@SwoleBenji Do you know if they completely random or are there pools for each effect "slot"?

[@stelhart6139]

Lacerate on the mini gun absolutely shreds everything

[@aaron7324]
