Heavy weapons
From System Shock 2 Wiki
Grenade Launcher
The grenade launcher requires a Heavy Weapons skill of 1 in order to use. The first modification to this weapon increases the clip size, while the second increases the speed of the grenades and reduces the reload time. Additionally, both modifications increase weapon damage. The TC-11 "Brick" can launch a wide variety of ordnance, from standard high-explosive, to proximity detection rounds, EMP, or white phosphorous incendiary. Creative souls have been know to jury rig other types of ammo. Unlike the earlier generations of launchers, The M-48 utilizes a reverse polarization magnetic launching mechanism instead of compressed gas.
Stasis Field Generator
The stasis field generator requires a Strength of 3 and a Heavy Weapons skill of 3. The first modification increases the speed of the shot by 50%, while the seonc modification reduces ammo consumption. An experimental device, originally developed as an effective, non narcotic method to both tranquilize and immobilize patients undergoing major medical procedures. However, the military and security utility quickly became apparent to the TriOptimum executive corps. The generator can essentially freeze a target in place for a variable period of time. However, the stasis field uses a lot of power and its effect greatly decreases with distance.

Both modifications will increase weapon damage. The first modification also increases clip size, and the second also reduces ammo consumption.
Early experimentation with atomic fusion yielded disappointing and potentially dangerous results. However, scientific tolerances were considerably lower in the UNN military specifications, so TriOp rushed headlong into production on these god-forsaken devices. Is fusion weaponry incredibly powerful? Of course it is. What is its long-term environmental impact? I have absolutely no idea.Dr. Marie Delacroix, VB Chief Engineer.
