As is the case in most video games, in
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Money – it’s called Silver Coins here – is quite scarce, which the developers want to ensure that you can’t just buy whatever you want, but rather be careful about which weapon upgrades you spend your hard-earned cash on . There are some interesting systems at play here, so be sure to read on, as I’ll explain how the modifiers work and what are the best set bonuses to use your guns to efficiently punch as many holes in ___s as possible can shoot.
How do weapon mods work in Wolfenstein: Youngblood?
In
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
unlock weapon mods with Silver Coins found on corpses, in crates, or just lying around. To open the weapon mods menu (weapon mods screen), please press on PS4
touchpad
/ on the Xbox One the
Options button
/ on the Nintendo Switch
+
/ on PC
Esc
.
This will take you to a menu where you will need to navigate to Weapons to see a list of the weapons currently available to you. You can then select your favorite weapon (or any other) to add the weapon to your Individual parts – shaft, receiver, magazine, etc. – can be seen. If you click on each part, you should see three different mods for each and in the lower right corner you should see how they change the stats of the selected weapon.
To unlock a weapon mod, you must pay the price in Silver Coins. You can then use them right away. Please note the make/brand of the weapon mod as this is relevant in the next section.
What do set bonuses do in Wolfenstein: Youngblood?
Any weapon mod in
Wolfenstein Youngblood
belongs to one of three categories/brands: Nadel, Tempo or Bull. If you use three upgrades that belong to the same category/brand, you will receive the corresponding set bonus.
- needle: Additional headshot damage.
- tempo: Better/higher rate of fire.
- bull: Improved damage.
Since each weapon has five parts, you can only get one set bonus per gun, but you can use the remaining two parts, which don’t have to be the same brand, to customize the weapon to your personal preference.
How does the mastery system work in Wolfenstein Youngblood?
This is pretty simple: to master a weapon, you need to use it to kill more enemies. You’ll progress through the Mastery Tree this way, increasing the percentage of damage you deal with your chosen weapon, up to a maximum level of 20. This means it’s worth focusing on using your Killing ’s favorite weapon to upgrade it. Personally, I prefer to use the Assault Rifle, which deals 24% bonus damage at Mastery Level 6.
How to improve weapon mods in Wolfenstein Youngblood?
Upgrading a weapon mod is easy and provides a solid stat boost for the firearm, making these upgrades worth investing in. However, you also need to unlock them, which aren’t that easy as some require you to reach level 25, but you should at least consider getting those upgrades. Make sure you have enough Silver Coins when the time comes so you can upgrade your arsenal.
The best Wolfenstein: Youngblood weapon mods
Assault Rifle – Nadel Semi-Auto Receiver
This mod turns the Bolt Action Rifle into a semi-automatic, obstacle-smashing beast, allowing you to shoot ___s through walls, cover, and other ___s. Combined with the x-ray scope, it’s downright deadly in the early game and perfect for taking down enemies from afar, but towards the end of the game you should switch to a full bull build to kill opponents efficiently.
Pistol – Tempo Auto Receiver
A powerful mod that turns the humble pistol into a rapid-fire weapon, fixing the rate of fire issue this weapon otherwise suffers from. In this improved state, the pistol can even be equipped with a silencer, combining high damage and stealth. The Burst Fire is a brutal barrage that melts armor, especially if you’re using two pistols at once – its double the trouble.
Flash Rifle – Taurus Heavy Receiver
I’ll be honest, I’m not exactly sure what the steel braid ammo does, but at high speeds this weapon turns ___s into putty, so it’s definitely worth upgrading, especially when paired with a Taurus Huge Damage set bonus .
Diesel Power Plant – Needle Napalm Injector
Let’s get to the point. Would you like to leave a burning puddle of napalm on the ground after each explosion? Then you need the Napalm Injector from Nadel. Combined with other bull parts, this is a dangerous weapon that deals tons of AoE damage after the initial mayhem. Who doesn’t love that?
Laserkraftwerk – Automatic Transformer
This mod turns your laser into an automatic, steady beam that literally disintegrates/disintegrates your enemies – you have to see it to believe it. Combined with bull damage mods, this weapon becomes a fantastic and fun tool that you can easily use to ruin any ’s day.
