In Just Cause 3, there are eight different types of MODs that you can unlock with gears, which you can get by completing challenges. With these upgrades your gadgets like the grapple or the wingsuit, and your dealing with cars, tanks or aircraft improved.
The island nation Medici is divided into three regions, which in turn hold various provinces and settlements. In order to unlock the first challenge, you must first of all liberate the city Manea and the tower in Cima Leon. Then all challenges display in the area.
Then it runs always in the same way for all other side missions. First you have to liberate settlements and provinces to unlock the eight different challenges nearby. Every challenge allows you the chance of a MOD. The better you complete the orders, the more gears you get as reward - a maximum of five.
Tip: MODs in Just Cause 3 can be unlocked and then must be re-activated, so that you can benefit from them. So you can disable them, even if they hinder you on a mission.
