Laying down the law with your heroes in Gotham Knights is serious business, so you’ll need to use Modchips to enhance your gear. Here’s everything you need to know about Modchips and Gear Tiers.

There are several villains that you’ll need to defeat in Gotham Knights. The Court of Owls working in the shadows and Mr. Freeze is causing chaos on the streets.

Whether you’re focusing on Batgirl or Robin as your favorite hero to play as in the game – it is essential to maximize their potential with Modchips.

Gotham Knights has numerous Modchips to take advantage of, so here’s how they work and each tier available.

How to use Modchips in Gotham Knights

Modchips in Gotham Knights are gained by completing premeditated and random crimes, sidequests, and mission chains. There are three different types available: Suit, Melee, and Ranged.

These can be applied to your Gear types of the same name, which in turn will add a buff to your loadout. To apply a Modchip, you’ll need to follow these steps:

  • Access the Batcomputer
  • Head over to the ‘Gear’ tab
  • Scroll to the ‘Mods’ section
  • Choose your desired Modchip in either Suit, Melee, or Ranged
  • Apply the Modchip to the Loadout piece of your choice

Modchips are sorted into three different types.

The level of a Modchip will be awarded to your character based on your current Power Level. Some pieces of Gear allow you to apply multiple Modchips, making your hero extremely powerful.

Each Modchip will grant a different buff, such as Fox Mod: Concussive Reinforcer.

Moreover, its worth noting that Modchips will be designated to specific heroes once you’ve assigned them. So if you want to use them with other heroes, be sure to switch them to over that character’s Gear.

You’ll want to craft Legendary gear to become the strongest hero.

Some pieces of Gear in higher tiers will also have multiple slots for Modchips. This means you’ll be able to stack your highest Modchips together, giving your hero some serious buffs in the process.

Once you’ve got on the path to earn some Legendary Gear, be sure to keep using it often, as Legendary tier Gear continues to evolve through simply playing the game.

Now you’re ready to equip Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood with the best Modchips out there. Don’t forget to check out our other Gotham Knights guides on your quest to restore Batman’s legacy.
