blackhound.927: The higher level weapon and armor mods are mostly terrible except for if you are modding armor to give high elemental resistances and don't care about Armor rating. And there are nowhere near enough mods. You'll probably end up with a stack of completely useless barrels and weights once you're done attaching the handful of tactical flashlights and scopes available. You can get a few more weapon mods by field stripping all the surplus weapons you find but there's no way to reliably get more armor mods. Not being able to retrieve mods from weapons and armor makes them even more terrible.

Please make the weapon and armor mods less terrible and make them re-usable so that the weapon and armor mod skills aren't so unexciting.
