Hello there,
This mod adds socket slots to most oft the ranged weapons:
Damaged weapons have 0, normal 1, enhanced 2 and legendary 3 socket slots.
Ranged combat got a huge nerf in elex 2. In comparison there are less options to utilise energy rifles (the different weapon modes are completely gone), so there are less options to stagger enemies than in the previous game. Adding the socket slots back helps in this area. Perhaps i will try to „rebalance“ ranged weapons in a future addon.

~Have fun and stay healthy folks~

How to install:

Step 1:
Unpack the zip file i.e. with 7zip anywhere you want.

Step 2:
Locate your Elex 2 game directory.
I have a custom installation folder:
(D:\Big Games\GOG-Games\ELEX II)
For steam user it should be something like this:
(Steam\steamapps\common\elexII)
I don’t own the game on steam so i can’t say for sure.

Step 3:
Inside the Game Folder should be the:
data\packed\
folder

Step 4:
copy the „m_4_RangedWeaponsSocketMod.pak“ file into the „packed“ folder

Step 5: Enjoy!
