Arc Raiders gear tiers get even messier as one gunsmith finds low-rarity mods are by far the best bang for your buck, and suddenly I don't feel bad about my uncommon blueprints

Arc Raiders characters with shotgun and revolver.

In the greatest Arc Raiders debate of our time, I stand firm that bad guns being good is good, actually. However, based on new research conducted by a very dedicated Raider who'd begun to raise eyebrows in Speranza for all the shooting range trips they'd taken, you could argue that good mods being bad is perhaps bad.

Let me explain. As PC Gamer spotted, YouTuber ModerNik recently "tested every stock, grip, compensator, muzzle break, silencer, mag, extended barrel and Anvil splitter to see how they work." After throwing every weapon mod in Arc Raiders under a microscope, tracking recoil and rate of fire and every other stat under the sun down to individual frames, ModerNik's data bears out two main conclusions: mods can help a lot, but high-rarity mods don't help that much more than basic ones.
