Van Mods:
After shooting all three drop targets, the MOD-ulator target behind them will be lit for a short time to level up the van mod indicated by the flashing insert on the left side, which cycles between the three available mods. Keep shooting it to advance the level, before the 10-second timer runs out. If the mod has already been collected, the drop targets can be completed further times to collect more mods, or to upgrade the level of a collected mod.
If the MOD-ulator target is shot without knocking down all three drop targets prior, the Bonus X will increase and the targets will reset.
Engine: Adds more time to the next van mode - 20 seconds at base +10 seconds per upgrade.
Speakers: Increased scoring for the next van mode - 500k at base +250k per upgrade.
Bomb: The next van mode requires less shots - 2 less shots at base +1 per upgrade.
The level of each mod can be identified by the color of its insert:
Level 1: Yellow
Level 2: Lime
Level 3: Green
Level 4: Cyan
Level 5: Blue
Level 6: Purple
Level 7: Red
Van mods also increase the base jackpot values in D.C..

Thanks Eric and Frank, love the vid! I have been trying to figure out the optimal tournament strategy for Foo Fighters, but it's difficult to find strategy content on it given how new the game is.
Which multiballs allow you to make progress on the Van Mod upgrades during multiball? That seems like a less risky way to upgrade - the Van Mod drops look so deadly.

[@sean6146]

every mb allows van mod progress if you are not in a mode already. if you are in a mode completing the drops gives a small award (such as time mod giving only 10 seconds or bomb giving 1 shot and then drops come back up)
risky part about playing it this way is you use your mbs boosting your modes which make your modes more dangerous

You're constantly confused about which van upgrades are which, but they're clearly labeled on the apron 😂
