• There can only be one thing in a belt slot at one time.

Modding a weapon

There are certain WeaponMod pickups extending DeusExPickup. They aren't weapons after all, rather, they are used to power-up weapons in singleplayer (in multiplayer, it's useless as there is no inventory screen).

Weapon mods

WeaponModAccuracy 

Increases the BaseAccuracy of the weapon

WeaponModClip 

Increases clip size of the weapon

WeaponModLaser 

Attaches Laser Sight to the weapon

WeaponModRange 

Increases weapon's accurateRange

WeaponModRecoil 

Reduces weapon recoil

WeaponModReload 

Reduces reloadTime of your weapon

WeaponModScope 

Attaches a Scope to the weapon

WeaponModSilencer 

Attaches a Silencer to the weapon

Weapons using mods

Of course, some of the weapons cannot take some mods. Like, imagine a rocket launcher with a silencer... Impossible, ain't it?

These are set by the properties "bCanHave..."

• ... should be replaced by one of the following things. What it allows is obvious.
  • ModBaseAccuracy
  • ModAccurateRange
  • ModRecoilStrength
  • ModReloadTime (reload)
  • ModReloadCount (clip)
  • Scope
  • Laser
  • Silencer

The End

That would be our beloved DeusExWeapon. Hope this page will help the future modders of the game's small community.
