How to Get the Handgun Extended Magazine Weapon Mod
While all the other mods can be accessed through fairly straightforward means, the Extended Magazine for the Handgun is something of a secret challenge that can only be unlocked at a specific time. To get it, you'll have to confront Nemesis in the early Downtown area as Jill, and have both a lot of ammo and a grenade. When you're ready, do the following.
- Find Nemesis. Make sure you're on high health and there aren't too many zombies around. If you want to be doubly secure, do it close to a safe room.
- Damage Nemesis to the point where he staggers and falls to one knee. You'll almost certainly need the shotgun for this; pour damage into him and stay out of reach of his attacks.
- Once he's staggered, back away to a safe distance and throw a grenade. You've got maybe twenty seconds to do this before he recovers.
- The grenade will actually blast some kind of storage crate off him and stagger him all over again. Grab the crate and run!
- The crate can be opened in your inventory by examining it. Once opened, you'll get the Extended Magazine.
How to Use and Equip Weapon Mods
Once you have a weapon mod, you can attach it permanently to a compatible weapon by having both in your inventory and combining them, as you would with two crafting ingredients. This effect is permanent and irreversible.
