What do Weapon Mods do in Zero Company?

The short answer

They slot into a weapon, change its stats, and can add effects of their own — one applies stacking Burning on every hit.

How many Weapon Mods can you equip on one weapon?

At least four — a pre-release trophy requires it. Whether four is the maximum has not been published.

How many weapon types does Zero Company have?

Four: Longarm, Repeater, Rifle and Pistol. There is no fifth.

  Xbox Wire · Tier 3 — Hands-on preview · accessed 19 August 2026

  Supports: Difficulty — the writer played on Hard, "third highest out of four difficulties", and "the cutely named Beskar mode is this game's equivalent for XCOM's Ironman, with no reloading previous saves". That line was the basis of this site's difficulty record from 2026-08-19 and was missing from this locator until 2026-08-27; a cited claim whose location is not recorded is a claim nobody can re-check. Combat and squad sections — Advantage accumulating when a squad member successfully deals damage, and capping at 10; respeccing Hawks from Scoundrel into Gunslinger to exploit a Weapon Mod that applied an accumulating Burn status on every attack; unique-specialisation recruits being unable to respec the same way; an astromech with no basic attack, carrying three different Utility items with two uses each; a Concussion Grenade knocking enemies clean out of the combat space. 15-hour preview build.

• Star Wars Zero Company: Best Weapon Mods

  Power Up Gaming · Tier 3 — Retail review · accessed 3 September 2026

  Supports: Bylined Serhii Patskan, 2 September 2026; no update date shown. The structural claim, verbatim: "Each category of weapon mods…includes four different types or lines of mods on various tiers. The effects stay the same on the different tiers, except for the range of their values." Then four slots with four lines each, each line given an effect, a published span and the mod the guide names as the top of it. BARREL — Amplifier, "+1 to +4 Blaster Damage at Close Range", top Crystalline Amplifier; Condenser, "+2 to +6 Critical Hit Damage", top Dual Spiral Condenser; Adjuster, "Reduces enemy Defense by 1–4 on hit (expires at the end of turn)", top Enigma Adjuster; Cycler, "6–15% chance to restore 1 AP after attacking", top Quicksilver Cycler. POWER CELLS — Capacitor, "+2 to +6 Blaster Damage on the first turn of each combat", top Supernova Capacitor; Incendiary/Modulator, "Inflicts 1–4 stacks of Burning on hit", top Wildfire Modulator; Ion, "+1 to +4 Blaster Damage vs Droids and Ray Shields", top Pulsed Ion Modulator; Shock, "25–100% chance to Shock on hit", top Lightning Modulator. SCOPE — Range, "Reduces or fully removes Chance-to-Hit penalties from Range", top Limitless Scope; Crit Chance, "+6% to +15% Critical Chance", top Executioner’s Scope; Cover/Targeting, "Reduces or fully negates the enemy Cover bonus to hit chance", top Auto-Scope; Tracking/Assist, "+1 to +8 Assist Damage", top Stalker Scope. STABILIZER — Balancer, "+1 to +2 Defense after attacking (expires at the end of turn, limited stacks)", top Experimental Model-8 Balancer; Bracing, "+1 to +4 Blaster Damage if the operator has not moved this turn", top D-X22R Elite Brace; Ergonomic, "+1 to +3 Blaster Damage after attacking (stacks up to the max during turn)", top IQ Ergonomic; Lightweight, "15–33% chance to gain Evasion on fire", top Weightless Stabilizer. One wording differs from the rest of this database and is kept verbatim rather than normalised: the second slot is called POWER CELLS where two other guides call it Cell. The fourth it calls STABILIZER, which matters because the community catalogue calls that same slot Stock. **Checked for and absent**: any per-step name below the top of a line, any rarity, any acquisition source, and any statement of how many tiers a line has beyond "various".

• Zero Company build planner and item database

  zerocompany.tools · Tier 4 — Community testing · accessed 3 September 2026

  Supports: Unofficial, unbylined, self-described as maintained by "a community contributor" not affiliated with Lucasfilm, Bit Reactor or EA, with its data "extracted directly from the game build 24874058". Two pages read: /build-planner for the pickers and /builds for item effect text. The planner offers four mod slots labelled **Barrel, Cell, Scope and Stock** — the fourth disagrees with Power Up Gaming, Hack the Minotaur and TheGamer, all three of which call it Stabilizer; this database keeps Stabilizer and records the variance. Three Utility slots. Four weapon classes: Blaster Pistol, Blaster Rifle, Repeater, Longarm Blaster. Three roster-wide weapon upgrades: Grenade Throw Distance +2.0m, Teamwork Assist Damage I +2, Teamwork Assist Damage II +2 additional. **No armour or armour-mod category of any kind**, and the character sheet shows Health, Attack, Accuracy, Defense and Armor as statistics rather than as equipment slots. Sixty-four mods, four ordered steps per line.

This bonus expires at the end of the turn and has a maximum."; Targeting Visor (Utility) "Increases this Operator’s Chance to Hit by +5% and Critical Chance by +6%." **Checked for and absent**: Superlight Stabilizer, which the planner offers and this page gives no effect text for.
