Shields, Class Mods & Grenade Mods
Shields
Shields constitute a vital buffer between your character and bullets. Some shields are thin (but bounce back quickly), some are huge (but recharge slowly), and others fall somewhere in between. The three optimal bodies (AWE, XC & OS) are represented here in conjunction with each brand’s special twist. The best shield for you is the one that fits your playstyle.
Pearlescent & Boss Drop Shields- Alacritous ‘Fast Recharge’ Shields
- Harmonious ‘Balanced’ Shields
- Impenetrable ‘High Capacity’ Shields
Class Mods (COMS)
Class Mods augment your character’s abilities in certain specific areas so you can adapt to different situations (or make the most of certain items). For example: one fight might call for extreme survivability, whereas another might call for extreme damage output. No problem! With Class Mods you can change up your whole approach in a jiffy, without changing your skill points around. Some Class Mods are known as Loyalty Mods because they augment only the items of a certain brand. Lots of different tried and true Class Mod setups can be found on the Gearbox Forum, where they are known as ‘builds’. Note that the skill with the +4 is often a matter of preference and a COM having a certain +4 doesn’t necessarily make it better than the same COM with a different +4.
- Berserker (Brick) Class Mods
- Hunter (Mordecai) Class Mods
- Siren (Lilith) Class Mods
- Soldier (Roland) Class Mods
Grenade Mods
Without grenade mods, your grenades just blow up explosively. With a grenade mod, they can move differently, or blow up in various patterns, and inflict any kind of elemental damage. Sweet!
Maxed out Survivor class mods are missing for the Hunter.
Right you are! Sorry I missed that. Thanks for the heads up. Will fix tomorrow morning. I’ll email you when they’re up.
EDIT: fixed.
Thanks for the quick reply =D Love the site btw, incredibly useful as a reference guide to good gear.
Yes the mercenary on Xbox 360 is 61 Damage and 28 on regen for a maxed out level 55
Thank you, sir!
Was going to say forgot i play as siren and on xbox i dont know about any other pc or ps3 you can go up to 61 damage on plaguebearer and tempest i find them all the time on craw or armory hope this helps kind of sucks firefly is not 61 :(
thanks man. I put up notes in their asking for secondary confirmation on xbox and ps3. (clear your browser cache to see the notes).
Some of the choices for the +4 on the class mods are questionable. I’ll see about going through them soon and listing them on the forum post.
Cool that should be interesting
Yes i play on ps3 and i have a plaguebearer up to 61% and a mercenary at 61%
gracias.
Still new to this all – but I agree with everyone else that this is a great setup you have here. I did come across either a problem with some of the MODS or I’m doing it wrong. Weapons and Shields all are great, clicked on specific item and it brought me to the next page where I could Export the code. The problem I’m having is when I try to do the same with any of the “CLASS MODS” it just opens another page with the JPG of the picture I clicked on. So when I pick a class mod, then click on the picture of the mod that I picked it usually brings me to the Gear Calculator page where I can then make changes if I want or just export – but instead it opens another page with just the JPEG of the picture.
It’s possible that it’s done differently with these and I’m just unaware – if so please let me know what It is that I’m doing wrong or need to do – Thank you!

Thanks ReRuNx88x; as for the COMS, see the second to last question in the FAQ.
Hi, I’m on level 69 and I cannot find any class modes higher than level 35, I’ve been searching everywhere. especially on the last levels. Does anyone know how to get class modes that have level 50 and higher?
Sounds like you’re playing in playthrough 1; if so playthrough 2 will have higher level COMs.
