Mods in Pragmata provide important stat boosts and gameplay advantages for Hugh Williams as he explores the lunar research facility. These modifications affect everything from weapon damage and hacking capabilities to defensive stats and support abilities. Understanding how to equip mods and which combinations work best can make the difference between victory and defeat in Pragmata's toughest encounters. Here's everything you need to know about all mods in the Pragmata.

What are Mods in Pragmata?

Mods are equippable upgrades that grant Hugh additional stat bonuses and special effects. You start the game with only one mod slot, but you can purchase additional slots at the Unit Printer in the Shelter using Lunafilament and Pure Lunum. The maximum number of mod slots is three. You cannot upgrade beyond three slots, so choosing the right combination of mods becomes essential as you progress through harder sectors.

Mods fall into four categories:

  • Attack mods
  • Hacking Capability mods
  • Defense mods
  • Support mods

How to Equip Mods in Pragmata

You can only change mods when you're in the Shelter, specifically at the Tram Terminal before departing on a mission.

Step-by-step guide to equipping mods:

  1. Go to the Tram Terminal at the end of the Shelter
  2. Press Y (Xbox), Triangle (PlayStation), or F (PC) to open the loadout menu
  3. Navigate to the "02 Mods" section
  4. Press X (Xbox), Square (PlayStation), or the corresponding button (PC) to select a mod
  5. Press A (Xbox), X (PlayStation), or the interact key (PC) to equip it to an available slot
  6. To replace an equipped mod, select the new mod and choose which slot to replace

How to Unlock More Mod Slots

Additional mod slots unlock at the Unit Printer as you increase your Shelter Level. New blueprints become available when you unlock new items for the first time or boost your Shelter Level.

To purchase additional mod slots:

  1. Go to the Unit Printer in the center of the Shelter
  2. Press Y (Xbox), Triangle (PlayStation), or F (PC) to access the menu
  3. Use RB/R1 or the right navigation button to scroll to "Attachments"
  4. Select "Mod Slot" from the list
  5. Purchase using Lunafilament, Pure Lunum, or a combination of both

The cost increases with each slot purchased. Prioritize getting at least two mod slots early in the game, as having two mods equipped provides significantly more flexibility than just one.

How to Find mods

Mods are scattered throughout all six sectors of Pragmata. Mods appear with a gear icon on your scan.

Main ways to unlock mods:

  • Locked chests: Most mods appear in locked chests hidden in side paths, optional rooms, or behind puzzles. These chests often require defeating enemies or completing environmental challenges to access.
  • Red Zones: Optional combat challenges scattered throughout sectors reward mods for completion. Red Zones are some of the toughest fights in the game but offer valuable rewards.
  • Training Simulations: Cabin's training challenges reward mods for completing main objectives and optional sub-challenges. Some simulations require specific performance goals to unlock mod rewards.
  • Cabin Stamp Club: Spend Cabin Coins on bingo boards to unlock mods. Some mods appear as regular square rewards, while others unlock as milestone rewards for achieving specific numbers of bingos.
  • Sector completion tables: Each sector's information screen shows how many mods are hidden in that area. Check these tables to see which sectors you haven't fully explored yet.
