Guide to mod weapons and equipment in Starfield

Weapons in Starfield can be modded through the Weapon workbench and Equipment (Spacesuits) can be modded through the Spacesuit Workbench. These workbenches can be found in almost any major city and they are very easy to locate.

However, once you have found a workbench, your task has just begun. Most mods cannot be equipped right away. You will need access to materials that you can gather through exploration. Apart from that, you will also need research skills before you can get access to certain mods.

In order to do this, go to a research station and then open the menu. Select whether you want a weapon or spacesuit mod. In this research station, you can unlock the mods provided you have the resources to do so.

Once you have unlocked the mod, you need to craft it on the workbench and then equip it into your weapon or your gear. It is important to remember you will need to have access to Weapon Engineering and Spacesuit Design skills in order to get access to good mods for your weapons and equipment.
