What it is
More payload is the only module in the files whose description tells you when not to take it, and the sentence is blunt: “if your projectiles contain an incendiary, gas, or toxic charge, their duration and area of effect are increased. Otherwise, this modification is useless.” Confirmed by the game files, build 23882143. ⛔ Duration and area modifiers are recorded, along with damage penalties against vehicles and buildings. It is the only module in the list whose description contains a condition for its own uselessness, which makes it the easiest entry in the catalogue to misuse.
Where it comes from
The word “useless” appears once in the entire module list, and it appears here. Confirmed by the game files, build 23882143. It also names a third payload type — toxic — which has no module of its own in the extracted files, alongside the incendiary and gas loads that do. ⛔ We record that gap rather than assuming the toxic charge comes from somewhere we have not found. Two of the three payload types it names do exist as modules in the files — the incendiary and the gas loads — and both are described as area effects, which is what this one extends.
How it is actually used
This is a second-order module: its described benefit requires an existing payload, while its recorded damage penalties remain part of the trade. So the order matters — take the incendiary or gas payload first, confirm it is doing work against the resistances you are actually facing, and only then add this. On a vehicle with a plain shell load it is a wasted slot, and the developer says as much in his own words. That ordering is the practical content of this page: an extension without a suitable payload provides no described benefit, and the developer says so in the only place he uses the word useless.
How to beat it
Compare the resistance relevant to the extended payload without deriving final damage from raw coefficients. The module records a duration addition of 15 seconds and an area addition of 1, against losses of 30 vehicle damage and 30 building damage, build 23882143. Until 4 September 2026, this section denied the recorded duration. These are effect fields, not a tested time of safe access to terrain. A compatible payload and its extension occupy separate module allocations; check the carrier’s available slots before recommending the pair.
