Weapon Attachments
About Weapon Attachments
Even with taking a weapon's customization Hard Points into account, there is limited space on even the largest weapon, and only a few spots where attachments can be mounted. For example, under-barrel attachments such as bipeds and auxiliary weapons can only be mounted to long arms like blaster rifles or slugthrower rifles. In addition, using under-barrel attachments as an example, rifle-sized weapons can only mount one under-barrel attachment due to space limitations.
Players and GMs should use common sense when choosing attachments, and are advised to pay close attention to the attachment descriptions that note where attachments can be mounted and what weapons they can be mounted to.
Some weapons can more easily take advantage of Attachments and Mods. ( DDC-MR6 Modular Rifle, Model 53 “Quicktrigger" Blaster Pistol )
Custom Weapon Attachments
A few weapons (mostly Technican tool-guns) have Custom Attachments specific to that weapon, listed with the weapon. Some of these weapons can still use other attachments, but their Custom Attachments are quite strong or weapon-defining, especially with mods. ( Bowcaster, Ion Thruster Gun, Rivet Gun, Multi-Goo Gun )
Micro-Rockets can only be modified with the Custom Attachments specifically designed for them. ( Micro-Rockets )
