Once Human Mods Locations & Farming Guide

A good set of gear will get you in the fight, but a good set of mods will win the fight for you. Here's how to get them.

Unlike most of the other items in the game, mods don’t really tell you where or how you can acquire them. This is slightly irritating, but generally not that big of a deal so long as you know which areas drop mods for sure. So, let’s look at those areas and what kind of mods you can expect to find going into them.
