Most equipment can be socketed except for trinkets, rings, weapons, neck or face items. Equipment Mods can be overrided by adding another one on it.

Farming Exobits to create Exobytes is very difficult task. Therefore, the main advantage of R&D Equipment MOD is that players can recover some of their Exobytes by using Recovery Kits. There are 3 most used Recovery Kits in-game:

  • Recovery Kit Alpha (Exobyte Yields: 1)
    • This item can be bought from R&D vendors.
  • Exceptional Recovery Kit (Exobyte Yield: 66-100%)
