Risk of Rain Returns: Modify Your Tank at the Iron Den

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've found the Iron Den, huh? This is where you can really start to customize your tank and make it your own. Think of it like tuning up your car, but for post-apocalyptic tank combat! You can tweak all sorts of things here, from adding more weapon slots to beefing up your tank's defenses. Just remember, once you pay for a mod, you can't get your money back if you decide to undo it later, so choose wisely!

The main reason you'd want to mess with these mods is to manage your tank's weight. If you've got a bunch of awesome, heavy weapons you want to bring along, you might need to adjust other stats to make sure your tank can handle the load. Most upgrades will add weight, so it's a balancing act.

Chassis Modification

This is where you can really change up your tank's core stats. You've got a few options:

Add a Slot: More slots mean more weapons! Essential for maximizing your firepower.
Alter Slot Type: Sometimes you can change what kind of slot a weapon uses.
Raise Magazine Size: Lets your tank carry more shells before needing a reload. Each increase adds a tiny bit of weight (0.01 tons per 5 shells).
Lower Magazine Size: If weight is an issue, you can reduce this.
Raise Defense: Makes your tank tougher against enemy attacks.
Lower Defense: Reduces weight if you need to shed some pounds.
Done with Mods: When you're happy with your chassis changes.
Remove a Slot: If you decide you don't need an extra slot anymore.

Keep in mind that not all tanks are created equal. Some, like the Van, offer a lot of flexibility with slot alterations, while others, like the Tiger, are more limited.

Gun Modification

This section is all about your tank's offensive capabilities:

Raise Attack: Boosts the damage your guns deal.
Lower Attack: Reduces weight if needed.
Raise Ammo Cap: Increases the total ammo a gun can hold. This is super useful for S-E guns that start with very little ammo.
Lower Ammo Cap: If you're not using a lot of ammo for a specific gun, you can lower this to save weight.
Raise Defense: Makes the gun itself more durable.
Lower Defense: Reduces weight.
Done: Exit gun modifications.

C-Unit Modification

The C-Unit affects your tank's targeting and survivability:

Increase Accuracy: Helps your guns hit their mark more reliably. Definitely worth investing in!
Decrease Accuracy: Lowers weight.
Increase Evasion: Makes your tank harder for enemies to hit.
Decrease Evasion: Reduces weight.
Increase Defense: Boosts your tank's overall damage resistance.
Decrease Defense: Lowers weight.
Done: Finish up C-Unit changes.

If your tanks are taking a beating, boosting evasion and defense here can make a huge difference.

Engine Modification

This is crucial for carrying all that gear:

Raise Load Cap: This is probably the most important mod! It increases the maximum weight your tank can carry. You want this as high as possible to equip your best weapons.
Lower Load Cap: Decreases weight.
Raise Defense: Makes your engine more resilient.
Lower Defense: Reduces weight.
Done: Exit engine modifications.

Don't forget, the mechanic will let you know if a modification is possible, so you don't have to worry too much about hitting limits. Just play around with it and see what works best for your playstyle!
