A gameplay mod that adds new traits to the YA ecosystem, specifically tailored to weapons from Yet Another Weapon and its branches. With 50 endorsements and 1,732 downloads, it's a niche addition for players using the YA weapon mods. Last updated December 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight integration with Yet Another Weapon—if you're deep in that mod's weapons, these traits are designed to complement them.
- Active development (last updated December 2025) means it's likely kept in sync with the YA mod's updates.
- Small but present community (50 endorsements, 1.7k downloads) suggests it's being used and appreciated by YA fans.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Yet Another Weapon and its branches—if you don't use those, this mod is useless to you.
- Low endorsement count (50) means it's a niche mod; you might encounter balance issues or bugs that haven't been ironed out.
For players who are already invested in the Yet Another Weapon mod and want more trait variety to synergize with those weapons. If you're not using YA weapons, skip this—it's strictly for that ecosystem.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of Yet Another Weapon installed, as this mod is built to work with it.
- Check the mod's posts or comments section for any known issues or load order advice from other users.
