After months of opening Lockboxes (of all types) with no luck, I was about to give up on trying to get a Vehicle. I decided to give it one more shot.
So I bought a 10-Pack of Keys. When I opened my third Heartstring Lockbox, I got an Adder!
I sold the remaining 7 Keys, and bought a Singularity Bomb Mark 2 for 700G at the Auction House. I installed it on my Adder, and flew to Westside. I obliterated a few mobs of the New Purple Gang with it. I love the animation of the detonation. It's very cool!
Is there a list somewhere of all available Vehicle Mods (and what they do)? I'm sure that CO-Wiki had one, but that source has gone the way of the dodo bird.
Co-Wikia exists, but has no information in regards to Vehicle Mods.
Edit: This is how I currently have the Adder equipped as of 05/09/2014:
Weapon - Incendiary Round Mark 2 Weapon - Plasma Beam Mark 2 Weapon - Anti-Aircraft Mark 2 Weapon - Singularity Bomb Mark 2 Defense - Reconstructive Biosteel 6 Defense - Reconstructive Biosteel 6 Support - Enemy Hull Scanner 6 Support - Enemy Hull Scanner 6

OK. Thx. I'll take a look.
Any idea when the coming update will happen? I'd hate to spend a lot of resources on Vehicle Mods, and then have them nerfed.

The mods won't be nerfed, some guns will have some minor adjustments that will hurt them slightly, but nothing major. Save for plasma beam. I dunno how long before the adjustment. We'll have to see, you won't have to worry about the kit, as your adder will get a free upgrade to mk 2.
Msg me IG; I'll help you out.

Congrats on your first vehicle! And an adder to boot. Xstorm can help you get it fitted out well. Having a fully equip vehicle certainly adds another dimension to the CO experience.

Thx. I look forward to your help. I checked the thread but you've got the Adder modded out to be a Support Vehicle.
I don't want a Support Vehicle. I want my Adder to bomb crap straight to hell!
I'll send an IG msg, but I don't have your character handle.
Or do I just send an IG e-mail to xstorm?
Edit: For those wondering where Co-Wiki went, it's right here:

Hey, I hadn't talked to Xstorm about this just yet, but there's been a lot of chatter on the Vehicle changes to PTS.
Here's the mods that I'm 99.9% confident about for your needs, and I reckon Xstorm would recommend the same:
---
Defensive:
[Reconstructive Biosteel 6] [Reconstructive Biosteel 6]
Support:
[Enemy Hull Scanner 6] [Enemy Hull Scanner 6]
Weapons:
Wait & See.
---
Biosteel 6 and Hull Scanner 6 are the optimal mix, proven by Xstorm. I reckon 100G to 200G apiece. Pricey, but affordable, and the best investment.
Weapons, the really popular ones, are going for 1500G apiece. It's inflated because Rampages triggered a need for those special weapons.
You did a good job getting a Vehicle and the Bombs (I hope the FBI doesn't flag that), the Defense/Support mods are solid, wait for Weapon prices to go down.

The scanners are REALLY worth going to r9 with after the adjustment. But that's going to cost you about 10kg just for 2 of them.

Here's how I have the Adder modded thus far:
Weapon - Singularity Bomb Mark 2 Weapon - Advanced Hyperkinetic Dampening System Mark 2 Weapon - Plasma Beam Mark 2 Weapon - (Empty) Defense - Reconstructive Biosteel 4 Defense - Reconstructive Biosteel 4 Support - Enemy Hull Scanner 4 Support - Enemy Hull Scanner 4
I'll upgrade as I get the resources.
Btw, can I rearrange the vehicle's powers in the Powers Tray? If so, how?

Looks real good, you got your Area Effect, something to buff up your Bike's survivability, a single-target cosmic killer. Wait a little before filling in the last Weapon slot, I know Xstorm is looking into the effects of the nerfs.
The Vehicle's powers in the Power Tray are still randomly placed every time. That's something Cryptic North has yet to fix.
Xstorm, that last weapon slot, I know you been researching this. Is this going to be Anti-Aircraft Missiles?

OK I'll wait on the last weapon.
xstorm, I apologize for not contacting you in-game yet, but real life (read: work) has been extremely hectic lately. Every time I think that I have time to play for an extended period, I get called in to work. Hopefully, things will settle down soon.
Before I got my Vehicle, I was getting Vehicle Mods by the bushel-full. Now that I have a Vehicle, I'm not getting squat. It figures.
I was flying my Adder around Downtown near the park, and I noticed a Grondling walking in the park. I dropped the Sing Bomb on him, and I got the Billy Goat Perk (something like that). I have been trying to get that perk forever, and I just happen to log in to the game, fly over there, and bomb him straight to hell!
Question: Will I be able to share this Vehicle with my alts using the Shared Bank Account, or is a Vehicle bound to one character only?

That's exactly how I felt when I 1st got mine. They make the impossible possible, like a 3 Wolf Moon T-shirt. Vehicles are Account-bound, NOT Character-bound (until they nerf that, too). Makes them great for leveling new characters. What a lot of ppl do is, IF they have 120 foot weapons like Incend Rounds, they go to Resistance and bomb the Mega-Ds for lots of XP and Gs. What I found was equally fast was just getting a good AoE (like your Sing Bomb, I myself used Gravity Pulse) then do the outdoor missions of MC, Canada/Desert, Monster Island, Lemuria/Vibora Bay.

Unless you're using a healing ride, hands down is going to be 2x biosteel 6+, hull scanner x2 is still looking almost universal as well, perhaps weapon diag will be useful soon. I need to do a lot of testing first.

So, xstorm, how goes the evaluation of the updated Vehicle Mods?

I've finally finished getting everything that I needed, and tested it all. I'm in the process of doing a massive overhaul on my guide.
