I actually contacted DE about my problems with acquiring Serration (uncommon). After 130 hours of gameplay I still hadn't dropped it.

They replied and said within each category (common, uncommon and rare) there are subcategories.

By this, they mean that within all of the common mods, some will be more common than others.

For example: Ghost is a common mod, and so is Flame Repellent. However, Flame Repelllent may be a rarer common mod, therefore, it drops less.

This is the case for all the categories. I hope this isn't too confusing, it's kind of hard to explain this through text.

And I was using those mods as an example, not saying that's the truth or not, because simply, I have no idea about drop rates - I'm not good with them at all haha.

Also, I am only stating what DE replied when they contacted me about my enquiry.

I hope this helped you understand mods a bit more though!
