MOD

In Metroid Prime: Federation Force, MODs can be collected by the Federation Force members from the environments, much like the power-ups that Samus Aran collects in the main Metroid games. However, MODs have the advantage of being used to customize the Mech to the soldier's choice, allowing them to define their role on the team as a healer or a warrior, or a "wizard". Samus's items are instantly equipped, and with the exception of Super Metroid, none of the Metroid games allow for customization of items. MODs upgrade health, damage and grant other benefits, such as Freeze Shots lasting longer on enemies. When collected, a MOD's benefit is kept secret until the end of a level, where a list of MODs is displayed and customization is enabled.
