How To Unlock The Best Metal Slug Tactics Weapon Mods

Metal Slug Tactics is all about customization: choosing your characters, picking their loadouts, and then deciding which modifications you want to implement into their weapons. But not all mods are available from the beginning of the game.

In order to truly bring the best out of your squad, you’ll need to unlock these mods. To do this you’ll need to earn coins from completing certain missions, doing bonus objectives, or even refusing to mod your weapons during a run.

Read on to find out which weapon mods need to be unlocked this way, and how much it’ll cost.

The best mods to unlock first in Metal Slug Tactics

For Handguns, grab the Range+Transfer mod first. It can make a huge impact on your ability to move around the field while enhancing your ability to deal damage while safe.

By the same token, Piercing/Transfer on Rifles is also the way to go, for similar reasons. Being able to hit multiple enemies in a row with a standard weapon is incredibly powerful, especially when paired with Fio’s ability to move enemies into position.

For Grenades, choose Shelter or All In, depending on whether you typically have grenade users move with the team or post up on high ground and stay there. For Grenade Launchers you have a similar choice. If you are choosing a loadout where your Grenade Launcher character is on the front lines, grab Max Ammo/Bayonet or Oversized.

For Melee, grab Swift to Velocity/Transfer, as one of the main issues with melee weapon users is mobility, and this helps with that, eventually making your entire team more mobile.

Shotgun users should absolutely get Precision/Vampire, because healing is very powerful in Metal Slug Tactics, and when at max health the already powerful Shotgun becomes even more powerful, a snake eating its own tail, in the best way.

Flamethrowers should take Shelter/Long Shot or Range+Bayonet, and finally, there are no real standout Laser mods, so grab Instigator (always a good option) or one of the Max Ammo mods, wince Laser weapons tend to have low ammo counts.

To look at your available mods, talk to Rumi in your base or in between areas once you’re on a run.
