The French-Epstein device provides a one-time upgrade to a ranged weapon. Upgrading a weapon with a French-Epstein device does not require the Modify skill.
The perfect birthday gift for the techie with less than ideal technical skills, the French-Epstein device is a portable, nanite-driven, self-contained analysis and modification tool. Simply place your weapon in the device, and let the French-Epstein's expert systems do the work necessary in the weapon's modifications.
Weapon modifications can improve weapon damage, clip size, firing speed, or many other parameters. These devices are rare, and are one use only, so use them only on your favorite weapons. There are at least 7 found in the game (listed below).
