Why Can't I Drop Modded Weapons in Fallout 76?

-

I’ve run into a frustrating situation in Fallout 76. My fiancé crafted a really cool weapon for me, but we used a box mod just before dropping it. Now I’m stuck because it seems like once you apply that box mod, you can no longer drop the weapon. What’s the deal? Is this some sort of anti-hacking measure, or is there a workaround? I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this because I’m really eager to use that weapon!

It’s just how the game is designed at the moment. It can be super annoying in situations like yours, but unfortunately, there aren’t any workarounds. Just remember, there’s a warning that pops up when you apply a mod box telling you that the item will be character-locked and untradable. Definitely a bummer, but it keeps the game balanced in some crazy way.

*sigh* I guess I’ll just have to deal with it too.
