Nightmare Mode Mods (commonly called Nightmare Mods) are a class of rare dual-stat mods added in Update 9.0 (2013-07-13) along with Nightmare Mode. They can be acquired through completing missions in the Nightmare Mode. These mods are generally weaker than their single counterparts, but they can stack. For example, Accelerated Blast can stack with
Shotgun Barrage and
Flechette to give +150% Fire Rate and +150% Puncture Damage.
There are currently 19 Nightmare mods in the game. Visually, they do not have a clearly distinguishing mark. Nightmare mods are untransmutable.

Trivia[]
- Briefly, between Update 12 and Update 12.1, Nightmare mods could be obtained from Interception missions. This was unintended, and has since been patched out.
- As of Hotfix 22.3.5 (2017-11-20),
Seeking Fury is also obtainable from missions level 26 and higher.
