One of the new additions in God of War Ragnarok is Mod Tokens, aka Skill Mods, which adds an extra layer of character skill customization, allowing you to opt for different builds based on your playstyle. We'll explain the system in full below.
Mod Tokens explained
Mod Tokens are additional upgrades that allow you to increase the Damage, Stun, Protection, or Element attributes of a particular skill with which you have reached Gold Tier mastery.
Once you have a skill mastered enough and at Gold Tier, you can use 1000 Kratos XP to unlock the Mod Token slot for that Skill. After you have it unlocked, you can switch between different Mod Tokens via the Skills menu.
Here are the Mod Tokens currently available in the game:
- Damage: Slightly increases the damage of the Skill.
- Stun: Moderately increases Stun property of the Skill.
- Protection: Greatly increases resistance to damage and being staggered during the Skill.
- Element: Increases the Elemental effect (Frost/Fire) of the Skill.
How to unlock Skill Mods
As mentioned earlier, you must reach Gold Tier with a Skill to unlock Skill Mods in exchange for 1000 Kratos XP.
Once done, depending on the Skill, you can apply a Mod Token of your choice and increase the efficacy of that Skill.
How to reach Skills Gold Tier
Use the Skill during combat and make sure the Skill hits the enemy to improve your Skill Tier. Once you meet the requirements, you will move up through the Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers.
Some need you to use the Skill 15 times, while others need it 75 times. You can check the condition in the Skills section by hovering over the Skill.
Which skills can have Mod Tokens?
Almost any skill you activate using the press of a button can be mastered to unlock the Skill Mods feature to use Mod Tokens. You cannot have Mod Tokens for passive skills.
How to change Mod Tokens
There are cases in the game, when players hastily select any Mod Token that doesn't suit the current build and miss out on making full use of the feature.
You must know that you can switch between Mod Tokens for free if you are one such player. And here is how you can do that:
- Press the touchpad on the DualSense controller to open the Character menu.
- Navigate to the Skill section.
- Select the Skill for which you have Skill Mods unlocked and previously equipped a Mod Token.
- Press the X button to Inspect.
- Select from the list of available Mod Tokens.
