Hollow Mods & Cores

Twenty-four new weapon and armor mods, and four Hollow Cores for the end game. All are built at the workbench once a magazine series teaches them.

How it works

GUNS: Casing Collector (one shot in three drops its casing into your pack: brass, paper for shells, polymer for slugs), Scavenger's Magwell (reload 20% faster), Field Maintenance Rail (40% less wear, also fits tools), Quiet Bolt (30% less noise), Strain Reader (20% more damage to special infected, casters and bosses).
KILL CHAINS: Adrenal Trigger (each kill within 5 seconds: fire and reload 6% faster, up to 30%), Last Round (the last round in the magazine does double damage), Executioner's Sear (40% more damage below a quarter health), Second Wind Chamber (below 30% health: reload twice as fast, fire 15% faster).
THREATS: Rift Tuner (25% more damage to demons with any round), Plate Cracker (30% more to brutes, elites, alphas and Juggernauts, ignores 30% of armor), Dread Dampener (each kill gives back 3 Nerve).
MELEE: Bleeder Teeth (35% chance of another bleeding wound), Duskiron Edge (ignores 40% of armor, 15% more to demons), Leech Grip (each kill heals 4), Shock Pommel (one hit in five knocks down).
ARMOR: Ammo Bandolier and Scent Sealant, Medic's Harness, Reactive Plating, Rift Ward Plate (chest), Nerve Lining (helmet), Pathfinder Soles (boots), Dead Man's Stim (gloves: fires below 15% health, 45 health and a 12 second rush, 5 minute recharge).
HOLLOW CORES, one per item, built from what the worst things drop: Butcher's Core and Sovereign Core go in a weapon, Warden Core and Hive Core in chest armor.

Crafting: pick any gun, tool, weapon or armor recipe and press MODS to list every mod that fits it.
Where to learn them: handgun, rifle, machine gun, blade and club magazines for the weapon mods, armor magazines for the armor mods. The cores sit at level 100.

Reactive Plating stuns whatever hits you, then needs 20 seconds.
