Anyone with early access could be so kind to help in clearing the following?
Are weapons mods class-locked in Andromeda, or not? i.e. can I apply something like a power magnifier/scope on a shotgun?
Thank you very much

If you're asking whether or not you can swap say, a scope from a pistol to an assault rifle, then no. When you find a mod it's locked to a particular weapon type.
If you're asking whether or not each weapon type has access to all of the mod types, then I'm not 100% sure. I did find a sniper ultralight materials mod tho (level 1, about an 8% reduction from memory), which is a good sign. I don't think that particular mod was possible in vanilla ME3.

That damned clone isn't even Renegade he/she is just a fucking asshole plain and simple and it's not like a clone has (or should have!) all your memories - meaning as soon as someone wants an authorization code from him/her the game is up!) But yeah, I found that mod, too  (used it, too - love to snipe but I also love biotics so I am a biotic-sniper...it's fun to plug Kett from a distance (and then Carnifex them when they close in ...or throw them in to walls, of cliffs, into water etc.) greetings LAX |

I remember being able to pick a couple of them up at the lab on the Citadel. OT, but Leviathan is close to being my favourite DLC in any Bioware game. I love the creepiness of it and the deep-diving but at the end. It's just got so much mystery to it. |

I'm interested in the latter, more than the former, hence my example about power magnifier/scope on a shotgun, something ME3 doesn’t allow (only on SMGs and Pistols/ sniper and assault rifles). But thank you for the information : I’m asking because I’m interested in how this time it will be possible to synergize best between powers and weapons. |

Still, that diving stuff is exactly why I hate that our Nomad explodes when it comes into contact with water and that we can't swim! greetings LAX |

After further research and some videos, I know now for a fact now that in ME:A that weapons mods are “class specific”. If power magnifiers apply to shotgun, they will be “shotgun power magnifiers” different from “pistol power magnifiers”: :crying:either don’t seem to exist for now though.  In any case, I think I’ll spend a big chunk of my time in Andromeda fiddling with our boomsticks. First thing first though, I’ll have to find the one that complete my playstyle best... |
