Best Weapon Mods
Best Outriders weapon mods: Death Chains
Tier 2: Shots entangle an enemy with chains, dealing X damage over 3 seconds. (2s cooldown)
Best used on a fast firing automatic weapon like an LMG or SMG, Death Chains is all about dealing an absurd amount of damage. It doesn't apply any status effects or slow the enemy down, like you might expect chains to, but it does constantly deal extra damage on top of your usual shots. It refreshes every two seconds so everyone you shoot at will be taking a seriously large amount of extra damage. Just avoid using it on anything single shot, because you don't fire quick enough to make it worthwhile.
How to get: The Reaper (Legendary Suppressing LMG)
Best Outriders weapon mods: Body Snatcher
Tier 3: Killing shots teleport another enemy to the place where the previous one died. Works within a 25 meter radius of the target.
Got a sniper or rifle that can one-hit-kill? Taking cover with an LMG and want to just fire continuously? Body Snatcher means you don't have to aim much at all because whenever you kill an enemy, another one will immediately take its place, as long as there's an enemy within 25 metres. This doesn't work great on Perforos or Maulers, but on humanoid enemies with guns, it's ideal.
How to get: Body Snatcher (Legendary Pump-Action Shotgun)
Best Outriders weapon mods: Ultimate X bullets
Tier 3: Shots inflict Ash/Bleed/Freeze/Toxic on enemies. (1s cooldown)
There are a number of different status effects you can inflict on enemies with your bullets, but the outright best one will depend on what mods you have on the rest of your gear. After all, there's no point in inflicting Ash on all the enemies you shoot if the rest of your build is geared towards freezing enemies and doing extra damage to those ones. If you go down a tier, you can get the "Improved X bullets" mods which includes other status effects like Burn, Slow, Weakness, and Vulnerable, but has a four-second cooldown.
How to get: Various legendary weapons for Tier 3, random epics for Tier 2
Best Outriders weapon mods: Weightlessness
Tier 3: Shots inflict Time Rift on enemies. Time Rift raises the enemy into the air for 5 seconds. (1s cooldown)
We're not entirely sure why this mod comes on a Pump-Action Shotgun because it'd be much more useful on something automatic that won't often one-hit-kill, but Weightlessness is a brilliant weapon mod that suspends enemies in the air. Whether you're parked behind cover mowing down enemies or you're up close and you've got an ally picking off the enemies in the air that you don't finish, Weightlessness is great either solo or co-op.
How to get: Aerie Master (Legendary Pump-Action Shotgun)
Best Outriders weapon mods: Perpetuum Mobile
Tier 2: You instantly replenish your magazine if you kill an enemy with 35% or less ammo remaining in your magazine.
Tired of reloading? Worry no longer! As long as you get a kill on a single enemy with less than 35% of the ammo left in your gun, you'll instantly reload. This works brilliantly on pretty much any gun; automatic weapons means you never really need to reload so in combination with Body Snatcher it's a top choice, while it also works on single shot weapons that have a high damage stat because a lot of your shots will be killing ones.
How to get: Random drop from epic and legendary weapons because it's Tier 2
