It's occurred to me that there is no guide to general weapon specs, like for example how not to use piercing mods on projectile weapons. They don't have to be kit dependent, but if they are, you should state so. A lot of suggestions may seem obvious to experienced players, but newer players might not know the best ways to use mods on their weapons (I know I struggled). I'll try to keep up with editing this OP with good suggestions when I can be bothered to and I'll also offer some setups myself when I'm in front of ME3, so I know what the mods are actually called! 

 

I'll list setups by weapons class, then by individual weapons. Each individual weapon will have one or numerous specs and say whether the spec is tied to one kit or one style of play (melee for example) or just for general usage. I'll also note if there is an ideal ammo type to use with said spec. Let me know what you think. 

 

This could actually mean that there's something useful on this subforum and it'll give me something to do other than trolling while on here!

A few mods that don't work on certain guns...

 

Penetration mods are useless on these guns:
Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle 
M-37 Falcon.
Striker Assault Rifle.
Acolyte.
Scorpion.
Geth Plasma Shotgun.
Graal Spike Thrower.
Venom Shotgun.
Kishock Harpoon Gun.
Krysae Sniper Rifle.

Sniper Rifle Spare Thermal Clip mod is useless on the Collector Sniper Rifle.

SMG Heat Sink mod is useless on the Collector SMG.

Shotgun Smart Choke is useless on the Venom Shotgun and the N7 Crusader.

Particle Rifle has zero recoil, so gains nothing from Assault Rifle Stability Damper.

Javelin already has an x-ray scope, so gains nothing from scope upgrades.

And I wouldn't expect a Pistol Cranial Trauma System to do much on an Acolyte or Scorpion either.

The GPS does not benefit from the HVB, Shredder Mod, or Smart Choke

You should find this list of which mods don't work on certain weapons useful. (List in in post #4.)

I'd be happy to nerd out and help you fill up that first post in the thread, but, ah…not really sure what exactly you're looking for. Maybe write up one or two yourself to give us an example?

Tbh, I completely forgot about this thread.   I actually have some spare time, so I'll do a few more obvious ones now. 

 

Edit: As you can see, I filled a couple out. I would ideally like to keep it in that format if you would like to help, but I'm open to suggestions. It takes a while and I want to fill EVERY weapon with suggestions, ideally with suboptimal as well as optimal specs for those who might have new manifests (using the shotgun blade attachment instead of the Omniblade for example) and I'll note them as such. It's ambitious and it's something I can't do alone because 1) I usually have things to do and 2) I'm too lazy...   But I'll paste good ideas and reformat them if need be, as well as fill in a few myself from time to time.

Pretty sure that you stated your intent to tell people not to use piercing mods on projectile weapons...
