I see it, as you have just one rifle and no other rifles with different stats in the game and fight mobs with different resistances applying different chips to your rifle.
Unfortunately, you do find bigger and better rifles with more slots for mod-chips. And then you can apply them to your armour and helmet as well.
What if you could optionally apply the charms to yourself, so you could wield any weapon or armour, but carry on the bonuses?
