Mods

The mods (modifications that enhance your abilities or weapons) available to construct at the Control Points depends on your Constructs Level. You can construct mods without needing to increase your Constructs Level first, but higher levels unlock more powerful mod (a community-made modification that changes the game) options.

• Common Mod: Costs 1000 Source, requires 5 Undefined Reading, 5 Ritual Impulse, or 1 House Memory.
• Uncommon Mod: Costs 1000 Source, requires 2 Threshold Remnant, 5 Intrusive Pattern.
