Utility

Utility amps can boost offensive stats, increase weapon range or crit, or provide other class-specific bonuses. They are equipped in the utility slot.

Like other equipment, AV1 and AV2 AMPs have 1 and 2 basic perks respectively. AV3 AMPs have one higher tier mod and one regular mod.

Most AMPs have perks specific to a weapon type.
