There are five types of mod for sniper rifles, each providing a different benefit. For each type, there is one basic mod and two upgrades which provide a greater benefit, but with detrimental effects. Only the basic mods are available at the first tier in singleplayer.
Barrel[ | ]
- SR Barrel: Enhances a weapon's barrel, creating greater gunfire velocity and impact.
- SR Reinforced Barrel: Substantially increases damage, but at the cost of increased recoil.
- SR Vented Barrel: Substantially increases damage, but at the cost of fire rate.

Notes[ | ]
- Mods that increase or decrease weight are all percentage-based reductions. Depending upon the exact mod and weapon, some mods are close to the stated benefits/penalties, some are slightly lower or higher, and a few are not even close to the stated value. For a detailed investigation of weapon weight mechanics, see Weapon Weight Strategy.
- The multiplayer SR Barrel and SR Spare Thermal Clip can be purchased with the DLC Salarian Infiltrator Multiplayer Recruit Pack and Turian Soldier Multiplayer Recruit Pack.
- The multiplayer stats shown are accurate as of Multiplayer Update - November 7, 2018.
- Equipped items have a green check mark .
- Accuracy is a different weapon property than stability. The accuracy of a weapon will change the size of the aiming reticle. Stability reduces the kickback and rise of the weapon during firing.
