A good place to find rare weapon/armor upgrades: (Gaming)

If you go to Rost's house from the beginning of the game and travel down the single path to the east, there is a Scrapper site at a dead end. There is also a campfire along about halfway down the trail. Four scrappers prowl the area, with two lootable scrapper piles. Anecdotally, there is a high change of finding purple weapon/armor mods. I've farmed the place about fifteen times and have never found less than a blue mod in one of the piles, and found purple mods about half the time.

Purple mods all seem to be in the 40% range. I have a 46% Tear boost mod, and a 42% damage boost, along with different element protection mods. This spot has been a reliable source of mods, and they can make a huge difference if you get them at the beginning of the game.
