Characteristics
Overview
A weapon attachment that modifies recoil and rate of fire. Allows weapon to fire in 3 round bursts when turned on. Use [+firemode] to toggle on or off.
Clip it onto a gun that fires once per click and it starts firing three. The game text says it changes recoil and rate of fire, and players use it to squeeze faster follow-ups out of a semi-automatic rifle or an M39; the M92 takes it too. Press the fire-mode key, M by default, to switch it on or off without taking it off the gun.
Getting one is the hard part. The row lists a Level 2 recipe of ten high quality metal but the game files say the module cannot be crafted or researched at all. The recycler is the steady source: an LR-300, an M16A2, a Space LR-300 or a Prototype 17 usually gives one back. None of those rifles can be crafted either, so every module traces back to loot.
Pros
Cons
- Faster follow-up shots from a semi-auto at mid range
- Toggles on and off, so one gun covers taps and bursts
- Empties the magazine faster, so carry more ammo
- Recycled, it returns only four to seven HQM
The usual moment: an LR breaks after an Oil Rig run, the recycler hands you a module, and the SAR you were about to throw in a box becomes the gun you take on the next roam.
Recycling
At power grid stage 2 a green recycler works at 60% instead of 50%. Yields depend on the recycler.
