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.
In full
What that means when you are planning
Weapon Mods fit into a weapon's Modification Slots. EA describe them as altering the weapon's statistics and applying distinct effects, and they are bought from the Black Market with Credits or earned from Operations and Tactical Missions.
Fitting one is not a commitment. Previewers report that mods move freely between missions rather than being consumed, and that a fitted mod is visible on the weapon model — so a strong mod belongs to the squad rather than to one Operator.
The build-relevant part is that a mod can be more than a percentage. At least one applies Burning on hit, and Burning stacks. A previewer respecced their Hawks out of Scoundrel into Gunslinger purely to get more attacks out of that mod, which is the clearest sign available that mod choice can outweigh class choice.
No Weapon Mod has a published name. That is why this site has a guide to the system and no list of mods — a list would be a table with blank rows in it.
What we don't know yet
The game has not been released. These are open questions we have chosen not to guess at.
- The name of every Weapon Mod. Not one has been published.
- Burning damage per stack, the stack cap and its duration.
- Whether the Burning mod triggers per attack or per hit.
- Whether mods have rarities.
