The Outer World: how to use weapon customization

Firearms and melee weapons are the names of the game in The Outer Worlds. Players will find an array of dangerous weapons to use while roaming the Halycon settlements. With so many companies trying to be the best of the best, they are competing for everyone's attention. They might not come with everything a player wants to use when they first find it. Here's how you can customize your weapons in The Outer Worlds.

How to use weapon customization in the outer worlds

You will be able to use the weapon customization material very early in the game. You will get it immediately after you find access to weapon customization right after you gain access to the ship. You can explore it pretty quickly after getting the quest to visit the nearby town, Edgewater. As you explore the ship, check out the workbench downstairs. Approach and you will have the opportunity to modify and customize your weapons.

When you access the workbench for the first time and enter it, you will see the above pop-up appear. This is going to give you the quick and dirty detail of how it all works. The weapon customization extends to armor as well, so players can go through the same process to add changes to what they wear.

Now the personalization doesn't go too far into the color change. Players use the workbench to add mods to the weapon. However, some of these modifications are limited by the gun. For example, a simple revolver can have its magazine modified. An assault rifle can have its scope or magazine, giving players more options.

These modifications and changes do not extend to the aesthetic appearance of a weapon. Even though a new look at the magazine will bring about small changes, players cannot change colors. Your guns aren't going to look shiny, but they're going to do a serious job.

Good luck, settlers. Continue to explore The Outer Worlds by checking Supernova difficulty, learn how to use the Codex, quickly craft bits, master skills, perks, and more.
