=== USER MANUAL ===
Usage: modify <attachment> <weapon>
unmodify <attachment> <weapon>
Description:
Attachments are items that can be installed on weapons to modify their
combat statistics. A weapon's attachment capacity is shown in its inventory
listing as bracket indicators: [*] = filled slot, [] = empty slot.
Attaching & Detaching:
Both the attachment and the weapon must be in your inventory or equipped.
> modify optic rifle Attach the optic to the rifle.
> unmodify optic rifle Remove the optic from the rifle.
Slot Compatibility:
Attachments and weapons define slot types such as Optic-Rifle,
Flashlight-Pistol, or Underslung-Grenade. An attachment can only be
installed on a weapon if they share at least one compatible slot. A weapon
will not accept more attachments than its maximum capacity allows.
Stat Modifiers:
Examining an attachment shows its stat bonuses. These are applied to the
weapon's effective stats while installed:
DPS ........... Flat damage bonus
Range ......... Maximum engagement range
OptRange ...... Optimal range (no accuracy penalty)
ROF ........... Rate of fire
Handling ...... Attack speed
Accuracy ...... Hit chance
Recoil ........ Recoil penalty
Reload ........ Reload time
Rifling ....... Damage multiplier
Armor ......... Damage resistance by type
Attachments can also grant weapon tags and combat effects that merge
with the weapon's own.
Mode Gating:
Some weapon modes require a specific attachment to be installed before
they become available. For example, an underslung grenade launcher mode
may require an Underslung-Grenade attachment. Unavailable modes appear
in red when examining the weapon. If you detach the required attachment,
the weapon automatically reverts to its default mode.
Notes:
- Use examine on a weapon to see its attachment list and effective
stats including all attachment modifiers.
- Use examine on an attachment to see its stat modifiers.
- Attachments can be freely swapped at any time outside of combat.
