  2. Weapon mod console codes...

    Ctrl + Alt + ~ for console,

    These are Weapon Mods for the weapons that you get as you progress in the game. A marine tech thoughout the game will give you these but if you want to get them now, you can. The only catch is... You need to weapon to use the mod. No problem there cause you can spawn the weapon as well or use "give all".

    Note: Like mentioned above you need the weapon first to use the mod. Spawning these icon mods does not automaticly give you the weapon with the mod. It only gives you the mod itself which is useless with out the weapon.

    All have been tested and work perfectly. All 3 nailgun mods seem to be the same, From what Ive seen they all do the same effect.

    Effect Effect
    spawn weaponmod_rocketlauncher_homing Adds guided missile functionality (Right-click)
    spawn weaponmod_lightninggun_chain Allows lightning to jump between nearby enemies
    spawn weaponmod_hyperblaster_bounce1 Allows shots to bounce off of walls
    spawn weaponmod_machinegun_ammo extended clip to 80
    spawn weaponmod_rocketlauncher_burst Fire up to 3 rockets in rapid succession
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_power firepower mod Increses firerate and amount
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_rof firepower mod Increses firerate and amount
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_ammo firepower mod Increses firerate and amount
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_seek Homing nails with scope
    spawn weaponmod_railgun_penetrate Much more damaging railgun
    spawn weaponmod_shotgun_ammo Reloads using clips, instead of 1 shell at a time
