In order to use mods on the MkII weapons it is suggested that you get ahold of Weapon Mods Enhanced or Weapon Mods Expanded. Sometimes this guide will denote MkII equipment as it's ran into, but don't expect me to catch every MkII that shows up, especially when apparel comes around. This type of equipment is known as MkII equipment, and in general is a little stronger than the base default versions found in the game. World of Pain adds, among it's dungeon changes and everything else, it's own tier of equipment wielded by the wastelanders in these new areas or included as loot.
