Heavy Weapons

In order to use a heavy weapon a soldier must be equipped with an EXO or WAR Suit.

Weapon Parts

Weapon mods come in 3(?) qualities: Normal, Advanced, and Superior, each offering better results over the previous one. So far,

Weapon mods can be replaced, but cannot be reused, and thus consideration should be taken before immediately modding up a weapon. A continental bonus allows you to reuse mods.

Each weapon can field only a limited number of mods; the Africa continent bonus "Armed to the Teeth" gives you one extra mod slot on all weapons.

Mod	Effect	Basic	Advanced	Superior
Scope	Adds aim bonus	+5%	+10%	+15%
Laser Sight	Adds critical chance bonus	+5%	+10%	+15%
Repeater	Adds a small chance to instakill	+5%	+10%	+15%
Hair Trigger	Adds a chance of free shot	+5%	+10%	+15%
Auto Loader	Free reload	+1	+2	+3
Expanded Magazine	Adds ammo capacity	+1	+2	+3
Stock	Guarenteed damage on missed shots	+1	+2	+3

Weapon part use

Autoloaders are probably best equipped on sharpshooters, as they cannot reload and then fire their sniper rifle; the free reloads bypass this limitation. For a killzone Sharpshooter use an expanded magazine combined with a repeater.

Expanded Magazine likely should go to Grenadiers, especially if you plan to go for the higher tier abilities which use three ammo each shot. Larger magazine makes it more likely you'll have the ammo for it, and it's not as limited as an autoloader. Rapid fire Rangers also benefit a lot from expanded magazines.
