Alpha mods

Alpha mods are collectible weapon mods in Deadlocked. Rather than providing drastic changes to the functionality of the weapon as with omega mods, alpha mods simply improve the current features of the weapon. This can vary from ammo count, auto-aiming, area of effect, knockback, rate of fire and bolt or XP gain. Only the nanoleech mod introduces a new ability unseen in weapons on their own.

Weapons in Deadlocked naturally come equipped with one alpha mod and a slot to fit it in. Upgrading a weapon will cause it to increase said slots by one, as well as generating an additional alpha mod for free. Each weapon thus comes with a total of ten alpha mods each once fully upgraded to V10 (the Mega upgrades no longer grant free mods nor slots), as well as ten slots each. From V2 and on it is possible to mix and match available alpha mods in the available slots in each weapon.

Lastly, in Challenge Mode it is possible to purchase alpha mods from a DreadZone vendor. Depending on the difficulty you begin the game with, it is possible to gain an additional alpha mod for free.
