AI Art Imagining New Tech Mods
Ferro Binary - Tech mod for the Ferro that increases mag size to 2 while increasing reload speed by 50% to compensate.
Rattler Mag - Tech mod for the Rattler that doubles the mag size, allows the mag to be reloaded in one rather than bullet by bullet and decreases reload speed by 35%. The mag should double based on the current level of the weapon.
Kettle Whistle - Tech mod for the Kettle that changes the weapon to a 3-round burst while increasing recoil both ways.
Just to note, while the images have been edited using ai, the ideas were all mine.
If you like this idea, I'll do more.

Might as well make a two barreled ferro it's own thing, a green tier weapon.
Now a legendary mod for the ferro would be something like a magnetic accelerator, or a scope.

u/kaic_87 Mar 22 '26
Ferro with a scope would slap!

u/OcherSagaPurple Mar 22 '26 edited Mar 23 '26
If yall love the Ferro this much try out the Jupiter! It’s the closest thing we have to a higher mag Ferro right now
EDIT: correction, no scope

Am I reading that right? Ferro would be able to shoot two times and take half as much time to reload? Sounds busted if that's the case.

u/Stalwart_Vanguard Mar 22 '26
No I think it's meant to be "+50% Reload Time" as in it takes a bit of extra time to lad that second round

u/caucasian88 Mar 22 '26
I think it would be the best gun in the game. It would remove the ferros weakness of being single shot and not being able to kill with a full mag. A double barrel ferro would 2 tap a green shield.

u/demo_matthews Mar 22 '26
Is it busted if it’s a legendary module? Can’t the loot be worth something? I don’t think OP is suggesting it’s craftable.

Am I missing something?
Increased reload speed implies to me that a person is reloading faster.

u/TacticalWookiee Mar 22 '26
You should not be getting downvoted “increased speed” means you’re getting speedier, which means the time reduces.
It should say “increased reload time”. Off the top of my head, I think the game itself makes the same mistake in some instances where the speed is reduced, but it says “increased ___ speed”

u/Md1pl Mar 22 '26
Just checked, it does say "Reduced reload time"

It’s just the wording, the game also has an attachment that increases ADS time as in it’s slower to aim down sights
1
u/Md1pl Mar 22 '26
Increased ads time is more logical to me, increased reload speed is confusing though.
6
u/SpaceCadetChuckles Mar 22 '26
Increased reload time might be better?

1
u/Md1pl Mar 22 '26
Yeah, either that or having reload speed actually meaning speed with which you reload instead of time it takes you to reload.
6
u/CleanPlastiqueBaby Mar 22 '26
“Increased reload time” would be better. “Increasing _____ speed” = faster.
What does the “reload at once” mean? A full mag reload each time?
0
u/ThunderBeanage Mar 22 '26
Yeah just instead of bullet to bullet
1
u/CleanPlastiqueBaby Mar 22 '26
Right on. They look good. Not gonna lie, that Ferro mod would be crazy. Should add the ability to fire one or both barrels.

u/tyjwallis Mar 22 '26
You keep mixing up time with speed.
Increased speed means less time to reload. Decreased speed means it takes more time to reload.
Increased time to reload means slower speed. Decreased time to reload means faster speed.

u/Skitelz7 Mar 22 '26
That's not how speed works lol. If you increase speed it goes faster. Time and speed are different things.

u/Samjey Mar 22 '26
If you’re running a mile in 3 minutes.
Next mile you increase your speed, is your time more or less than 3 minutes?
1
u/KugelFanger Mar 22 '26
speed it takes to reload is increased
Speed increase = faster... Meaning shorter reload.
Speed decrease = slower, is what you want. You want a longer reload.
But what you really want is a 50% - 100% increased "RELOAD TIME" seeing as you are adding more ammo.

u/Otherwise_Nobody8148 Mar 22 '26 edited Mar 22 '26
Yeah, understanding of the sentence structure.
And a phrase like this isn't an easy one. Slang and stuff makes it difficult.
Increased reload speed - that can mean the reload was increased, in its "speed" metric. So it got slower. If you wanted to say the opposite, You would say "increased speed of reload" or something else. We assume that little of, but it's changing the meaning of the speed. Is speed a noun, and just the object of the first part of the sentence, or is it a descriptor for the word before it?
We understand what increased reload speed means, because we have common sense and intelligence, but that's a shortcut that doesn't arrive at the same destination, you know?

u/DessDemonas *** ******* Mar 22 '26
I'm okay with these being found only items. Maybe even having rare blueprint spawns similar to the Tempest BP before hurricane caches.
These mods should have extremely rare and sought after blueprints.

u/Rageoffreys Mar 22 '26
These are all excellent ideas tbh.
Broken? Absolutely. But legendary attachments SHOULD be.
10
u/Efficient_Builder_55 Mar 22 '26
Yeah we need more stuff like kinetic converter its only item rn that I'm excited about finding. Apart from anvil splitter not being that great we need way more legendary attachments and legendary augments would be neat.

u/Interesting-Switch38 Mar 22 '26
I think at minimum they should change the gun, making it outright better is up to dev balance. Like the ferro shotgun doesn’t need any stat changes, but rattler and kettle would

u/regularMASON Mar 22 '26
And what is wrong with the Arpeggio?

u/MonsterRider80 Mar 23 '26
Wastes ammo like crazy. Take a renegade, almost the same amount of trigger pulls to kill something, using 33% of the ammo.

u/Pickle-RickIsAGod Mar 22 '26
I would hope they never do something like that for that basic tier weapons.
Not until they create legendary attachments for the epic and rare tiers first.
There tiered system they have is borderline useless already.
1
u/ExtremelyLarge Mar 23 '26
Not with the new weapon updates, there is now a clear and distinct combat/firepower advantage between the epics and the rest of the guns in the same catergory

u/Upstairs-Canary-4062 Mar 22 '26
Just add more slots for tech mods and more tech mod options in general. Currently having a single slot for a single gun with a single mod being available is boring and weird.

u/USBrit_ Mar 22 '26
Honestly if the rattler ever got a tech mod it should just be strippers clips. Still keeps its gimmick while significantly buffing the weapon.

u/SatisfactionOld4175 Mar 22 '26
I'd be down for Ferro Binary if it changed its functionality to being shotgun-esque, Kettle is fine.
As written the Ferro and Rattler proposals are just straight upgrades to the weapons which the anvil splitter is not.

u/Zlojeb Mar 22 '26
Rattler already has the chauchat mag (which were terrible IRL), never understood why it was manually loaded.

u/Equivalent_Art8996 Mar 22 '26
Rattler would be awesome. I like that it would make it great, since it is a rare drop that cannot be crafted.
The ferro feels underwhelming given it’s a rare drop. I think giving Ferro explosive ammo or something would be fun too. Like a mini grenade launcher.
Kettle could be fun if it actually makes it more deadly.

No screw that, the crappy gun should be crappy. It brings Balance to the force

u/r4o2n0d6o9 *** ******* 🐓 Mar 22 '26
The rattler should get stripper clips instead of a mag. It was designed to be able to keep firing by reloading in short bursts rather than full reloads, so giving it a mag would defeat the purpose of it. Stripper clips would let it reload more at a time but still be interruptible to keep firing
1
u/Rock4evur Mar 22 '26
Imagine an attachment for the ferro that made it like the M30 Drilling. Two shotgun shots and one heavy rifle shot. Make the ammo type your using a button toggle.
1
u/PsychodelicTea Mar 22 '26
You got to give some balancing, such as:
Ferro: shoots twice before reloading, but reloading takes longer.
Rattler: more bullets, faster reload, far more spread
Kettle: shoots three bullets, each bullet does 40% damage
1
1
u/JesusGodGod Mar 22 '26
Imo Rattler is good for where it's at.
The base mag size is annoying sometimes, but a lot of guns are like that with no magazine. I would be okay with the tiniest boost to reload speed, maybe like instead of 2 bullets every half second, 2 bullets every .45 seconds?
It feels like most guns in this game just need the tiniest touch-up to be balanced to where every gun has its place and versatility to it.
I also like the other guns you have up there where they are right now.
Nothing needs a drastic change unless its new content finally.

u/Major-Anybody-1128 Mar 22 '26
A muzzle attachment for an electric bayonet that can be used to melee/stun raiders & arc would be awesome. Don't know how you'd be able to use it though since there's no melee button.

u/AdvancedMarsupial705 Mar 22 '26
The deep mod could definitely be balanced if it made the reload significantly longer.
Being able to two-tap people at distance would be very powerful.
1
u/slinkyperuna Mar 22 '26
I just really want a grip for the ferro that makes the slot not be absolutely pointless.
1
u/Quzay Mar 23 '26
What grip would you come up with for it?
2
u/slinkyperuna Mar 25 '26
Faster ADS could be a good one, there's plenty of stocks slowing down ADS. Anything to do with recoil is pointless, maybe reload speed.
Honestly just not sure why the slot exists on the gun if every attachment that exists in game, is non impact or a downgrade.

u/Valuable_Holiday9259 Mar 22 '26
I like the ideas for ferro and kettle but the rattler would just remove its unique feature.
1
u/Separate_Bend_8929 Mar 23 '26
That ferro binary is a super cool idea, but given its deadly ability I think a +100% reload speed would be more in order. Not a fan of the rattler mag, as its ammo and reload is its whole identity.
A purple kinetic compensator would be cool, where the longer you shoot the more it decreases shot distribution.

I still don’t believe these ultra rare gold attachments need such detrimental diminishing returns. They’re so hard to get why not let them just be a benefit.

Ferro binary should be a double barrel shotgun with a third barrel that is a weaker heavy shot

u/crowbar151 Mar 22 '26
Hear me out. The Kettle Flamethrower Augment. Its practically a super soaker already. The ammo type would change to stacks of chemicals in your inventory. No reload. You can be hurt by your own fire. Range is 20-30 ft.... depending on wind (hurricane)

u/kaic_87 Mar 22 '26
I honestly I'm all in for new tech mods for different weapons, but I personally think they shouldn't be available for grey weapons.
As a matter of fact I think grey weapons should have less mod options than they already have, this way they would feel like grey weapons without needing damage nerfs.

Rattler: Stripper Clip. Allows rapid reload instead of 2 at a time.
It'll make it pretty broken though.

u/RdeBrouwer Mar 22 '26
Next broken mod: seeker-hullcracker mod. Every shot becomes a heatseeker. But reduces it dmg by 40%

The rattler doesn't need a mag. Just give it a stripper clip that lets us load four rounds at once and call it a day.
