Modifications
Modifications (mods for short) allow for upgrades to PKA's damage, fire rate or range.
Requires research
Requires Kinetic Modifications, a Tier 2 Arsenal research.
Only two unique upgrades can be installed at the same time, such as damage and fire rate, but not damage and damage.
- PKA modkit (damage) improves damage by 10 blunt and 15 structural, to 35 blunt and 45 structural.
- PKA modkit (range) improves range by 2.75 tiles (by speeding up the projectile 1.5 times), to 8.25 tiles.
- PKA modkit (fire rate) improves fire rate by 1.5 times, to 0.75 shots/sec.
Once researched, each mod can be made on a 
protolathe or

15 steel
5 silver bar
5 gold barAcquisition
