Pragmata Mods Guide

This page stays focused on the highest-confidence Mod facts in Pragmata: the confirmed total, the per-sector split, which Red Zones clearly reward Mods, and when cleanup becomes safer than forcing every chest on first contact. For build-value ranking across the wider Mod system, use the Best Mods page.

22 confirmed Mods
Current sector-by-sector collectible coverage supports a full game total of 22.
Lunum Mines is the densest
Sector 4 carries the biggest confirmed Mod haul, with 7 total.
Cleanup timing matters
Lim Eraser helps early, but later collectible cleanup opens up again after later story abilities.
Do not overforce first visits
Current guides agree nothing is permanently missable thanks to Unknown Signal Mode.

// Scope

What This Page Covers

Use this page for sector totals, route planning, and the safest broad cleanup logic. It is intentionally more stable than a chest-by-chest checklist, because some outlet phrasing and sub-area naming vary once you get into individual room routing. It tracks the 22 sector-routed Mod pickups rather than the broader full Mod pool used in build discussions.

// Density

Where Mods Spike

Sector 2 immediately expands the Mod hunt after the opener, but Sector 4 is where the count truly jumps. If your file is short multiple Mods late in the campaign, Lunum Mines is the first place worth auditing.

// Strategy

Safer Than Blind Chest Runs

Current collectible guides repeatedly describe Mods as a mix of on-path chests and optional side rewards. That makes them one of the easiest collectible types to desync if you chase every suspicious room too early.

// Sector Breakdown

All Confirmed Mod Totals by Sector

The table below keeps the stable facts front and center: how many Mods each sector contains, and a few representative names that are consistently identified across more than one external guide. The examples are not meant to be an exhaustive checklist for every chest in the sector.

Sector Confirmed Mod Count Representative Verified Examples Route Notes
Solar Power Plant 1 total Hardened Suit The lightest Mod sector. Useful as a fast early sanity check if your Mod total is already off.
Mass Production Array 5 total Close Quarters, Long-range Targeting, Pocket Refinery Sector 2 is where Mod routing starts feeling nonlinear. Pair this with your Mass Production Array walkthrough instead of treating every roof and alley as a one-pass obligation.
Terra Dome 5 total Cheap Shot, Precision Shot, Collateral Damage A high-confidence midgame checkpoint. The sector itself is large enough that it often feels worse than it is if you are also doing Safe Boxes and REM cleanup on the same pass.
Lunum Mines 7 total Equilibrium, Eagle Eye, Economize The biggest confirmed Mod haul in the game. If you are missing multiple late Mods, this is the sector most likely to explain the gap.
Central Port 4 total Untapped Potential, Heat Transfer, Adrenaline Flood The final sector is cleaner than it looks once you already understand the game's side-path language. It is also the point where broad cleanup becomes much easier to finish safely.
Full Game 22 total Sector sums above reconcile with the full-game collectible total currently covered by major guides. If your file total is under 22, start by auditing Lunum Mines and Mass Production Array before rechecking the opener.

// Red Zone Rewards

Important Red Zone Mods

Red Zones do not always reward a Mod, but several of the clearest late-route Mod pickups are explicitly tied to them. That matters because a player can clear the base sector path, still miss a Mod, and only discover later that the missing item sat behind a Red Gate Key detour.

Mass Production Array

Pocket Refinery

Business District is one of the clearest early examples of a Mod tied to Red Zone completion rather than a normal side chest. If your Sector 2 count is off by one, this is one of the safest places to check first.

Terra Dome

Collateral Damage

Eco Modeling Lab is the strongest midgame reminder that Red Zones can carry collectible progress, not just optional combat value. If you skip the challenge, your Mod total lags behind even if the main path looks clean.

Lunum Mines

Economize

Main Excavation Site closes the loop on how valuable Red Zone cleanup becomes late. Sector 4 already holds the largest Mod pool, so missing a Red Zone reward there can make the whole file feel farther behind than it is.

// Best Route

Safest Mod Cleanup Route

First Campaign Sweep

  1. Take on-path Mod chests when the route is obvious, especially in Solar Power Plant and the early half of Sector 2.
  2. Do not treat every suspicious roof, shutter, or blocked side room as mandatory on first sight.
  3. If you are also tracking Red Zones, keep a note of which sectors clearly tie Mod rewards to combat rooms.

Midgame Revisit Logic

External coverage agrees that broad collectible cleanup expands after story abilities like Lim Eraser and later again once late-game cleanup tools are online. Even when a specific Mod is not the locked item, the surrounding route often becomes much cleaner at that point.

Practical takeaway: if your goal is all 22 Mods, it is usually smarter to revisit sectors as part of a full collectible pass instead of forcing isolated Mod hunts on a first visit.

Unknown Signal Finish

The broadest agreement across current collectible guides is simple: nothing is permanently missable, and Unknown Signal Mode is the least stressful moment to finish leftover Mod cleanup if you only care about a clean completion file.

Best use case: if you are down to a handful of leftover items, finish the story first, then sweep by sector instead of re-running messy half-finished routes.
