What weapon mods NOT to use on certain guns.

Since this thread will be lost when BSN vanishes into the ether I'm copying the Info from it here just in case anyone has need of it.


Anyway, some weapon mods do literally nothing when put on certain weapons other than waste the slot and maybe make the gun look better, while others do so little as to be effectively worthless.


Penetration mods are totally useless on these guns:

Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle.
M-37 Falcon.
Striker Assault Rifle.
Acolyte.
Scorpion.
Geth Plasma Shotgun.
Graal Spike Thrower.
Venom Shotgun.
Kishock Harpoon Gun.
Krysae Sniper Rifle.


The sniper Rifle Spare Thermal Clip mod is useless on the Collector Sniper Rifle.

The SMG Heat Sink mod is useless on the Collector SMG.


Shotgun Smart Choke is useless on the Venom Shotgun and the N7 Crusader, and of very little use on the Reegar Carbine (it only improves the pellet spread, not the range) and the Geth Plasma Shotgun (it only benefits uncharged shots).


Since the Particle Rifle has zero recoil it gains nothing from Assault Rifle Stability Damper.
The Javelin already has an x-ray scope, so it gains nothing from scope upgrades.
The Pistol Cranial Trauma System does absolutely nothing for the Acolyte and the Scorpion.


Thanks to Cato for correcting my various errors in the original thread, and Capn223 for correcting me now.


If I've left in any errors or omissions please point them out guys.
