Gears Tactics Mods

In Gear Tactics, mods come packed with certain statistics and passive buffs.

By applying these mods, you can tweak your gear so that you can come overcome each battle that you’ll fight.

This guide details how to use these mods with each class along with the complete list of them.

So, let’s begin!

How to Use Mods in Gears Tactics?

Heavy
If heavy is your class, you should focus on the Bloodlust passive and using more grenades.

As for your boots, go with the Utility Belt Mod as it’ll reduce cooldowns on frag and stem grenade. On top of that, it also works with the Boom Grenade Skill.

Lastly, due to heavy’s inferior agility, you can consider putting on some heavy armor on your character.

Scout
For Scouts, the Precision mod is particularly useful – not only will your accuracy be improved but also, you’ll be able to travel greater distances and carry out more attacks.

Equipping Utility Belt Mod on your boots will complement the Frag Grenade Mastery skill perfectly and also provide, reduced cooldowns on frag and stem grenades.

Sniper
For snipers, go with any of the weapon mods that enhance crit chance and accuracy such as Optics and Precision.

Sleek Bolt and Holographic Scope can be some of the best options to opt for.

Support
If your character belongs to the class of Support, choose any of the weapon mods that cater to healing or interrupting potential like the Master mod.

Also, make sure to equip heavier armor so that you can get involved in the battles, deep into the battlefield.

Vanguard
Since Vanguards fight on the frontline, equipping weapon mods like Bloodlust and Self-Repair are your best bet.

Below, you’ll find the list of all the mods for your character’s gear.
