Are the Dog Days mods useful for new players?

So,I am just a new player,MR 3,I started doing the Tactical alert(for the potato basically).I came to know later on about the stuff you can buy for the pearls and have now started farming for the mods.Yes,I know I can get them from the boss on Sedna .But that is still far away for me(I just unlocked Jupiter).I have already put the Medi-Ray on my Taxon and i don't regret the decision.I would like to know if the other mods are worth farming early on or not?

I am also a guy who is not much interested in cosmetics(yes, you read that right ☺️).The game is already grindy enough without having to farm for cosmetics.So,I will probably stop doing the alert if the mods are not useful.Any and all help would be greatly appreciated !

The only other one i'd really suggest is acid shells, 450 + 45% damage in a massive explosion on a shotgun is amazing ESPECIALLY for early starchart clears. Killing any enemy will just detonate the entire room if there's enough things to chain off of. This scales even better if you have rhino since his damage buff is one of the few that actually scale it up. 

It's ridiculous being able to get it at such an early level.

All of them can be dropped from Kela. And most of them are for specific weapons. Some are MR7 sobek for acid shells which is good, but awhile before you use. And the MR3 ones are meh overall. 

You got the best mod already.

I don't think you need any of them right now.

 

However, if you are a part of a clan that has access to jat kittag its' mod vulkan blitz is amazing and at mr5 its 2 MRs away, so not too long for you. The weapon itself is quite powerful.

Acid Shells and Vulcan Blitz are both really nice, if you have the weapon to put them on. And Medi-Ray is amazing if you use Sentinels.

Though, as others have said, you can get these mods from the Kela boss fight on Sedna, so if you can't get them all now you aren't completely out of luck. I mostly bought Acid Shells because I have been farming Kela for it for so long, and she refuses to drop it. So it was nice to be able to simply buy it, even if it does cost over twice as much as the other mods, for some reason...

My thoughts exactly. According to the wiki, Kela has 9 mods that she can drop, each with a drop rate of 11.11%.When i get to Sedna,i will have to farm her at least 9 times if RNG is with me(never happening in reality).It's true I don't have all the guns unlocked yet ,but it would be nice to have the mods when i need them rather than searching for them !(Although the 50 pearls per 5 mins in the same mission is ****** too.I can't imagine the people who are grinding for the floofs  and emblems!!!)

As for the cost being twice ,it might be because it's actually really good, as you and others have said.

I suggest getting medi Ray and acid shells immediately, 

Vulcan blitz is another one which is good. 

You can always farm them later but it is double gated (special token resource and RNG) , you won't be able to farm it like regular boss fights.

I have already got Medi-Ray,as I said in my original post.

I might get acid shells and vulcan blitz as I will require them later on.

You don't need any of them early (or ever really, they're mostly just fun sidegrade mods), but I think it's a good idea to pick up at least a few now. It takes a while to build up access to the Kela fight each time, and the mod yoy get from each one is random. Here you just gotta play a simple mingame and you can choose which mods you get.

As for which mods are worth grabbing, Medi-Ray is a good pick for some free healing. Acid Shells is a popular one for clearing rooms, though I've never used it. I really like Vulcan Blitz, which does similar bloom damage but equppied to the Jatt Kittag.

It's fine,man .I would still like to do the grind on my own.It's the least sense of progression you can get out of a grindy game.Still,thanks for asking though.
