Players will earn a lot of blueprints just by following the basic route of the game, but there are also plenty of places for them to explore and look for them. What’s really cool about the mods on weapons is that they add special designs based specifically on the weapon that you’re using, with each individual weapon being visually affected by the mod differently. Higher-rarity mods add a more intense visual effect, reflecting the added power.

Some weapons also have hard perks that are locked and can’t be changed, adding extra randomness to the loot.
