Location

 * The automatic barrel mod may be crafted and applied at a weapons workbench if the relevant plan is known. It can only be learned from scrapping weapons of the same type.
 * The mod for the Enclave plasma gun is unlearnable and thus can only be obtained already attached to an existing weapon found in the world. The loose mod exists in the game files, but cannot be found in-game.
 * Loose mods for the Tesla rifle may be randomly sold by Responder, Raider, Brotherhood, and Free States vendors. They may also be found randomly in various locations or earned as quest rewards in The Mire, Savage Divide, or Cranberry Bog. Loose plasma gun mods exist in the game files, but cannot be found in-game.
