The task of defeating waves of dinosaurs that come out of interdimensional vortexes is not easy but they can be if you use the best modules in Exoprimal. While increasing just a few attributes or adding some extra abilities might not sound much, the right modules can put you closer to victory during a match.
In Exoprimal, your character wears a high-tech suit to face several types of dinosaurs that can kill you with only a couple of hits. Each suit has an identity but, by using modules, you are capable of adapting them to your play style.
The Best Modules in Exoprimal
Modules, in Exoprimal, work as passive skills that you can equip in order to customize a suit. There aren’t a great variety of modules in the game, making the number of combinations pretty limited. Even so, since you can equip up to three modules per suit, it does give you the chance to adapt the suit to your play style or help you focus on the suit’s strengths.
How to Equip Modules in Exoprimal
To equip modules, you must access the suits in the Hangar menu. There are general modules and specific modules. The former are unlocked as your account levels up while the latter become available as you increase the suit’s level. In both cases, after reaching the required level to unlock a module, you still need to use BikCoins – the in-game currency you earn by progressing through the game – to effectively turn that module available to use.
The following list is based on the modules available as of the time of writing this guide (shortly after release) and only mentions the general modules.
Impact Reduction Module
When this module is equipped, it reduces the damage you receive from dinosaur attacks and the knockbacks from them as well. While mitigating damage from dinosaurs is always a good option in general considering this is a game about shooting dinosaurs, reducing the effects of their knockbacks is great, since you can even die from falling out of the arena. This module is a solid pick for all the Tank suits, as well as for the Zephyr, an Assault suit focused on melee attacks or Nimbus, a Support suit that is very aggressive and requires you to get close to enemies.
Reload Efficiency Module – Best Exoprimal Modules
One of the first modules you have access to, the Reload Efficiency Module reduces the reload and the recharge time. This might not sound much, but you just need to remember that the time you spend reloading is a period during which you don’t cause damage. If you take longer to kill the specific targets for the mission or the enemy team, the chance of losing the match is higher. And trust us, when playing suits such as Deadeye, Barrage, and Krieger, you definitely want to reduce as much as possible the time you spend reloading or recharging your weapons.
Rig Loading Module
Rigs are special items that you can equip in all suits to add an extra layer of utility or damage to them. Each rig, however, has a cooldown and they tend to be quite longer. With the Rig Loading Module, the cooldown is reduced, allowing you to use it more consistently during fights. Because rigs can go from a simple – but powerful – laser cannon to a catapult that can help you escape from mobs of enemies or reach higher ground, this module is key for builds that rely on these abilities.
Hi-Xol Compression Module
The Hi-Xol Compression Module increases the charge rate of your Overdrive ability. This is a pretty simple passive ability. Even so, it becomes quite useful when we take into consideration that Overdrive abilities are the most powerful skills each suit has. From a sequence of powerful slashes to massive healing, these abilities can save your team in many situations. Suits such as Witchdoctor and Skywave, for example, are some of the ones that benefit the most from this module, since you can always have a strong Support ability to use.
Best Exoprimal Modules: Crafter’s Module
During a mission in Exoprimal, you can craft certain structures to help you when dealing either with furious dinosaurs or desperate players who want to win the match. To craft them, however, you need to use chips which eventually drop from enemies, although the rate is not high. So, to always have one of these structures ready to be crafted, you should run the Craft’s Module. It grants the chance of dropping a craft chip when a crafted structure is destroyed. Believe it or not, a cannon helping kill enemies or a wall holding their attacks might be what you needed to win a match.
This is the list of the best modules in Exoprimal. These are general suggestions based on the standard modules that all suits have access to. When picking for a specific suit, consider mixing these modules with the ones that are unique to them.
