Okay, so I was buying some mods from a gun runner, and was pretty happy about getting Maria an extended mag. BUT, when I went to put it on, it showed nothing on attachments/mods. Any help here? Is this a bug, or was it on purpose? And when can I get my weathered 10mm a laser on it? :sadvaultboy: Also, there needs to be more Silencer weapon mods. Sneak is one of my joys in this game, and I prefer to stay hidden.

I am not sure if you can mod a companions weapon. And, they will only use a weapon that you give them, that is modded or not, if it has higher damage than the one they are carrying. Most Companions have buffed out weapons already. So, it may not be of any benifit to try this.

Now, you are doing the modding right by using the X Button (assuming PC here) in the Weapons list in your Pipboy Inventory? I ask this because it took me a bit to figure out how to mod guns in this game.

You cant mod special weapons they come as good as they can be.

Unique weapons can not be modded. Maybe a mod will make them moddable. (lol)

Maria is the unique 9mm pistol you get from Benny, not a companion.

OP, I thought the same way when I tried that, and was pretty ticked off when i couldn't mod Maria at all. I reall y wish you could, it would come in handy.

Most of the special weapons are already pretty OP, and I picture adding mods to them would make the game freaking easy, haha. Outside of that there are actually quite a few silenced weapons.


There is this bad boy which is a special weapon which is silenced.

and outside of that I know the 10mm SMG has a silence, almost all the pistols, all snipers (even though some are weak). I cant remember all of them because I didnt play a stealth class but maybe you just need a higher level before you can access them. Oh yeah, and that [censored] 12.7 SMG has a silencer also.

Erm... I'm an xbox player. I don't get mods. Legally.
Oh, and on another note, how do I use weapon types? Let's say I have my Service rifle out. I have hollow points, armor piercing rounds, surplus and regulars. How would I start using one of my hollow points and not use the others? And how will I know?

Press up on your D-Pad. In the lower right hand area where you see your ammo it will say your bullet type. For example Armor Penetration will be AP, or Hollow Point will be HP, or if you bought surplus ammo it will say SP so you know your using your reserve instead of real bullets. Its a nice system.

Press 2 to change current ammo type while your gun is equipped and unholstered (you can also change ammo types from the ammo screen on the pip-boy) and it will show an abbreviation of the ammo type in the lower right hud near your ammo count.

Ap - Armor piecing
HP - Hollowpoint
BULK - Bulk energy ammo
INC - Indendiary
etc

edit: Oh [censored] it you're an xbox player. Don't know the button, but the HUD info should be the same (and the pip-boy method should work). Hell 2 key would probably work anyway; just plug a USB keyboard into the xbox

He's an Xbox user.

Up on the d-pad.

Oops....

Haven't met all the followers yet and have not cracked the strategy guide either.....

Anyway, you can't modify unique weapons as stated above.

Unique weapons CAN NOT be modded.

As far as i know you can't mad unique weapons, I have also heard that if you mod the weathered 10mm it corrupts that weapon and appears on screen as red square instead of a gun. I agree there should be more silencer mods in game, I would like to see a unique silenced weapon.
