Available upgrades
Author's note: This guide is a work in progress, if you have any suggestions or corrections please leave them in a comment.

Available upgrades:
Laser sight - Reduced initial hipfire Cof
Grip - Reduced horizontal recoil
HVA - Increase bullet velocity (and reduced long range damage drop off?)
Suppressor - Hides presence on minimap from shooting (reduced bullet sound?)
Extended magazine: More bullets per mag :p
Underbarrel grenade launcher - Standard underbarrel grenades. (Carbines only)
Underbarrel guided rocket launcher - Launches a swarm of long range laser guided rockets. Good against vehicles. (Assault rifles only)
Underbarrel lightning grenade launcher - Launches a grenade that shoots a continuous stream of lightning at the nearest target within a moderate radius. It is extremely similar to the radiation grenade. Good against infantry in cover and stationary vehicles. EXCELLENT for sieging rez bunkers. (LMG only) NB: Unlike other grenade launchers these grenades do not explode on contact but will instead bounce off surfaces like hand thrown grenades.
Underbarrel pulse grenade launcher - Launches a grenade that deals weak damage but huge knockback. Well aimed shots can sometimes flip over vehicles rendering them useless.

Know where I can find the Suppressor for the NS Heavy Blaster or is it completely random? I'm new to this game, thanks!
