The Odyssey Weapon and Suit Mechanics and Mods Thread.
- Thread starter Three Stars
- Start date
Honestly, for general purposes I’d take a g5 Tormentor over a g5 Executioner. Faster rate of fire, more shots per magazine, more usable at close and mid ranges, the same 2 shot potential for the majority of enemies. All I have on mine so far is Stability and Noise Reduction and it seems plenty for 95% of combat. The exception is high CZs, where the Exe’s top end damage wins out overall.
I never played Elite to get ships. I play Elite to do things with the ships.
The same applies to suits.

I play whats fun and interesting
Ive been playing odyssey and enjoying scavenging gameplay killing pirates and scavengers and reactivating bases etc
Modding gear is just a sideline to do every so often when it takes my fancy.
To date ive only upgraded one suit and two weapons.
Wait a minute! Do you think the grind is the game? So once you top 38 max engineered ships with few different setups you are done? And you are sad because there are just 3 suits to upgrade and 13 weapons to grind?
Let me tell you a simple truth:
People grind stuff so they wouldn't have to grind but enjoy the game.
And BTW, your arguments for pre-upgraded gear are completely irrelevant. Getting anything from g1 to g3 requires just half the materials to upgrade from G3 to G4.

The materials for the audio masking mod do suggest that it's jamming whatever signals your suit sensors use to simulate sound in a near/vacuum.
Has anyone used a TK Aphelion with the Headshot Damage mod? It’s a stable weapon that handles well at base and is hitscan. It does well with shields but is terrible against suits, especially high end ones. I’m wondering if some extra head popping potential would make it more general purpose, albeit with the caveat of needing to hit heads.
How do you know what materials the mod requires as it is not unlocked yet?
It was available in the alpha iirc.
Alpha had no engineers.
Huh. Must have been datamined or something then.
G5 dominator have 80% thermal resistance. This means for each 10 dmg your aphelion makes the target will take just 2. Now do the math for g5 aphelion with head damage mod and tell us will
this works. With the high rate of fire I would say yes, this could work if you hit the heads consistently.
What does the Headshot Damage mod do to the damage multiplier? It’s currently locked behind Smear Campaigns, so Inara has no clue at the moment. Someone would have to find one in the wild to see this.
It was datamined iirc. Uses stuff like scramblers.
Then please let us know what the mod lists as its benefit.
I also have a G5 Tormentor with Greater Range, Stability and Silencer (still not decided what the 4th mod will be)
And i can confirm that Stability works nicely for Tormentor. The recoil reduction is noticeable and I can accurately fire 2 shots in a quick succession for easy NPC kills - they usually dont get to move after the "i'm hit" animation.
For the 4th mod i'm split between Stowed Reloading, Magazine Size, Hip Fire Accuracy, Faster Handling or why not, even Audio Masking - assuming it stacks with Silencer
Also, i have a G5 Aphelion with Headshot Damage.
Not exactly sure what to put on it further on.
Considering Scope, Range and maybe Stability - although the recoil is already small and it will probably not not gain much. So if not Stability, maybe Handling? - the intention is to use it as a proper sniper hitscan - damage is decent assuming i get those headshots. Magazine size is also an option and so is Stowed reloading.
