Uncommon or higher rarity equipment in Everspace 2 generate sets of modifiers that are stats or unique effects that are listed below the main stats of the item. They are also known as attributes, but are not to be confused with ship attributes.
Modifier Notes[ | ]
- Weapons and modules have more modifier 'slots' the higher their rarity:
- The first modifier on all Uncommon+ modules is guaranteed to be and restricted to one of the 'primary' attribute bonuses (Firepower, Precision, or Structure).
- The other modifier 'slots' can also be an attribute bonus (including Utility, Resistance, and Expertise), or any other applicable module modifier.
- Ship Attribute bonuses and certain other stat bonuses have a randomized range and scale with item level. They are maximized with the Optimized prefix.
- The value of attribute bonuses is approximately the square of item level, ranging from ~3 at Level 1 Uncommon to 527 at Level 30 Starforged-Superior. Un-optimized, their values can be anywhere between 75% and 100% of the maximum attribute bonus for that module's item level.
- Modifiers can only generate on specific types of equipment. Each equipment type overview page on this wiki has its unique modifiers listed if any, but they are all listed in the below sections for convenience.
- There is only one modifier that appears on both modules (except platings) and weapons: "Cannot be damaged."
