Weapon level and Tinkering

Weapons all have their own individual level which determines how much damage they deal.

At 20 points Science skill unlocks Tinkering and lowers Tinkering cost at 40 and 100 points.

Using Tinker option at the workbench, you can increase the level of a weapon. Note that the tinkering cost increases based on the number of upgrades already purchased for that particular thing, so it's prefered to find a higher level weapon instead of upgraiding the old one for too many levels.

The maximum you can upgrade equipment is 5 levels above the character's level.
Murder on Eridanos DLC raised the player level cap to 36.

There're some DPS and DPH reference lists on reddit, check these out:

Condition and Repair

Weapon's condition degrade when it's used, loosing the effectiveness, it's indicated by the wrench icon.

Equipment can be repaired at a Workbench, or vendor. With 20 points in Engineering skill you can repair items in the Inventory.

Sometimes you can find Pristine weapons, they have more durability and higher sell value. With 60 points in Engeneering skill you get a 20% chance that the items you repair will become Pristine.

High Maintenance Perk gives -25% Weapon / Armor Durability Loss.

Weapon Versions + Uniques Map

Later in game you'll find weapons with suffixes (eg. mk 2, Ultra, etc). These weapons have the same parameters as non-suffixed ones, but a higher starting level and more modification slots, so they are more efficient for tinkering.

Unique weapons

Unique weapons are modifications of their standard analogues. Unique weapons are already modded and can't be changed. They have different parameters, behavior or ammo type.

Damage Types and Special Effects

There are different damage types, each with its advantages and disadvantages. You can change the damage type of your weapon using mods.

Each weapon has some Special Effect it can apply with TTD. You can learn more about all avilable effects in Codex > Symbols > Debuffs section.

Stagger

Pushes the target back a short distance, reducing Melee, Ranged, and Defence Skills, and increases the amount of Physical Damage received.

Stun

Burn

Knockout

Modifications

Modifications can be attached at workbenches and cannot be removed for reuse. If a new modification is installed in an already used slot, the original modification will be lost.

You can see how many mod slots are available and used in the bottom-left corner of the weapon icon.
