You can get the Overflow Weapon Mod in Remnant 2 by crafting it after obtaining the Escalation Circuit using the steps above. Once obtained, head to Ava McCabe in Ward 13, and the option to craft the Overflow Weapon Mod will become available if you have the required materials:

• 1 x Escalation Circuit
• 5 x Lumenite Crystal
• 500 x Scrap

After you craft the Overflow Weapon Mod, you can equip it with any weapon with an available mod slot. When equipped, the Overflow Weapon Mod provides the following effect to the weapon you attached it to:

• Imbues ammunition with SHOCK and increases Fire Rate by 15% and Reload Speed by 15% for 20 seconds. Shots also apply OVERLOADED, dealing 35 SHOCK Damage every 5s for 15s.

I have found that you can make this weapon mod even more effective by pairing it with gear that increases the effectiveness of Shock and Overload. For instance, the Shock Device amulet increases SHOCK damage by 20% and OVERLOADED damage by 50%.
