Armor Mods in The Outer Worlds are used to improve and modify existing Armor, much like they do in Fallout. Modifications are special upgrades that give weapons unique characteristics. There are several different kinds of Armor Mods including: Skill Kit, Armoring, Utility, and Gadget. This page covers a full list of all the Armor Mods in The Outer Worlds.

AnonymousIs there not a GUI bug with Modifications on Armor that erroneously shows Armor Damage by Type degrading with Mod Installation? I've been hesitant to Modify a number of armors due to this information, but my research is suggesting it's a Visual Bug and no protection is actually being lost. If this is true, this article should mention that.
There needs to be mentioned that 8 of these armor mods have 2 Tiers (T1 and T2). They are : 1) Anodized (T1 +5, T2 +10) 2) Insulated (T1 +5, T2 +10) 3) Laminated (T1 +5, T2 +10) 4) Grounded (T1 +5, T2 +10) 5) Toughened (T1 +3, T2 +5) 6) Hunter Kit (T1 +5, T2 +10) 7) Silver Tongue (T1 Dialog +5, T2 Dialog +10, Leadership the same for both) 8) Thug Kit (T1 Melee +5, T2 Melee +10, Defense the same for both) . So, always go for T2 for each of these if possible!
where is stealth kit in the list? I just started playing so not sure when it was added.
