Help with the table
If you guys can figure out the true power of the blank description mods such as blessed metal or the you're fired mod then please comment them below and if proven I'll add them to the list and add you to the contributers list.

Feel free to favourite this so you dont lose it in the sea of hate mail in regards to A17's new changes.

Contributers List
1) Infal - Passing over xml data on them blank mods pretty much finishing off the list.
2) vinipyx7 - Suggested adding photos for non-English speakers. That has now been done.

Guides a bit out of date by now Wolfsong since we're running A20 and this is from A18. I'll have to have a look at exporting the icons and going through them all again for the latest release
Wolfsong The Jester330 20 Apr, 2022 @ 6:10pm 
Anyone know what the Fool's Cap does?
Mr_Hig 21 Apr, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
A red dot sight can go on a blunderbuss, but not on a sawed off, there's another peculiar one. Also it would be nice if all the mods showed up on the weapon visually.
Mr_Hig 21 Apr, 2020 @ 12:04pm 
Right, I'm not saying otherwise, Angel. But for example the hunting rifle could definitely do with reloading faster, and there are more select fire machineguns, than there are machine pistols. It's less to do with why would you want to and more to do with why can't you? In some cases that might be the only mod a person finds for said gun for a good while, who knows.
Angel 21 Apr, 2020 @ 7:13am 
Wait... It makes sense that the sawed off doesn't get affected by a bandolier... But the normal shotgun should be? O_o they use the same ammo because they are the same gun lmao. The only difference is the barrel of the shotgun is literally SAWN OFF. It doesn't make sense that you couldn't utilize a bandolier for any ammo type, mind you, but eh? Who uses bandolier mods anyways? :P

Might as well go for better heat/cold/rad res and/or armor ups etc. I utilize things like the extra storage pouch and the mufflers for better sneak or the better fittings for stamina usage. Bandolier just doesn't fit well with most options.
Latex Assassin  [author] 21 Apr, 2020 @ 5:06am 
Its up to the devs but with new guns and parts coming to A19 all of this could change again
Mr_Hig 20 Apr, 2020 @ 9:26pm 
To a degree you make some of the attachments unusable on the guns it would be useful on.. lol. Like bandoliers not being compatible with hunting rifle or double barrel shotguns? I can see why you might not make it compatible with the sawed off, because of how small the gun is, but the former doesn't make any sense. Also there's no reason the single shot couldn't go on the m60, etc.
Latex Assassin  [author] 14 Jan, 2020 @ 4:48pm 
It was part of the dev items you turn it on in creative thats why its under the dev items list but they may have removed it by now
Heavenly 14 Jan, 2020 @ 2:33pm 
the buttkick items are only ever mentioned in your post when I google it. Where did you find those?
Latex Assassin  [author] 12 Jan, 2020 @ 3:43am 
I havent seen any updates to 7DTD in quite some time not sure what theyre working on
