Weapons and armor can be customized and upgraded with additional features. These range from simple features like a telescopic scopes or auto-loaders to advanced technological enhancements like phasing or seeking ammunition, booby-trapped weapons which identify the wielder, or methods to conceal weapons from scanners.
Not all customizations are appropriate to all settings.
The number of customizations a weapon or set of armor can support is based on its size and quality.
A customization must match quality with the item being upgraded, along with standard attached quality price increases - if an exceptional quality rifle is being customized, the cost of each upgrade is multiplied by 5 with an additional 250cr on top.
