Warframe is notorious for its complexity. Once you finish the tutorial, you're left with a star chart to clear, Warframes to farm, and a cumbersome modding system to learn.
Modifying your gear is single-handedly the most important part of Warframe. The best guns in the game are exceptional not because they do lots of damage by themselves, but they have great b🌊ase stats that can be enhanced through Mod cards. This extends to your Warframes as well, allowing them to use abilities moreဣ often or simply take more damage. Here are the best Mods every player should have.
Entries are in no particular order.
Updated July 5th, 2022, by Charles Burgar: With how many Mods are in Warframe, it's difficult to only cover ten great Mods. We've updated this list to include five more Mods that cover the difficulty jump experienced during the mid-game. Some entries also saw some slight changes to make them easier to read.
15 Mobilize
Parkour speed is an underappreciated stat in Warframe, especially when you're just starting out. This Mod increases your parkour velocity by 20%. That sounds low on paper, but it makes your bullet jumps fling you significantly further than normal, allowing you to speedrun missions much faster. And with how many missions are tied to the Star Chart, this Mod can single-handedly save you hours of time. You can farm this Mod from the Mariana mission on Earth or any Uranus mission.
14 ♎ 𒀰 Primed Shred
Upon logging in for a certain number of days, you'll be able to select a unique Primed Mod as a login reward. Most of these Mods are niche, but there is one you should get right away: Primed Shred. This rifle Mod grants 55% increased fire rate and 2.2 meters of punch through while equipped.
This Mod is effectively Speed Trigger and Metal Auger fused into one, drastically improving your weapon's killing potential. Most rifles in Warframe struggle in corridors where enemies pile up on one another, something this Mod single-handedly fixes. Even if you can't max this Mod right away, getting it to rank seven is enough to truly start benefiting from the increased fire rate and punch through. For your first login reward Mod, we recommend this one.
13 ꦕ Damage Mods
It should come as no surprise that damage-scaling Mods are worth using in Warframe. Mods like Serration, Hornet Strike, and Pressure Point increase your weapon's overall damage by a large percentage. That alone makes them solid Mods, but these Mods truly shine when used alongside multishot and elemental Mods.
Base damage Mods like Serration scale multiplicatively with elemental damage and m꧟ultishot sources, giving your weapon a massive damage bonus. Serration, Split Chamber, and an elemental combo are all you need to push through the star chart and beyond. While these Mods become obsolete once𓆉 you unlock Weapon Arcanes, they nonetheless serve a crucial role in upgrading your weapons for most of your journey.
12 𝓡 Primed Flow
Similar to Primed Continuity, Primed Flow is a massive upgrade over its default counterpart. At max rank, this Mod provides a whopping +275% max Energy capacity. That nearly quadruples your max Energy reserves, allowing you to spam far more abilities when your Energy reserves are full. Pair this Mod with the Zenurik Focus tree, and you'll have very few Energy issues for most missions.
11 🔯 Multishot Mods
Multishot Mods are just as important—if not more important—than raw damage Mods. Multishot gives your weapons a chance to fire multiple bullets with each trigger pull. Not only does this multiply your damage output, but multishot also makes your weapons more likely to inflict a status ailment or land a critical hit since you have multiple chances of either occurring with each shot. Every weapon build you use should have at least one multishot Mod installed. Be sure to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:obtain the Galvanized variants of each multishot Mod as soon as you can.
10 Umbra🧔l Mods
After completing a late-game story quest titled "The Sacrifice", players will obtain these incredibly powerful Mods for use on any Warframe. Two melee Mods that are part of the Sacrificial set are also included. The Umbral set increases your Ability Strength, Armor, and Health. The Sacrificial set increases your melee weapon's damage, critical chance, and gives it a damage multiplier against Sentients.
Not only are these Mods upgrades or sidegrades of their normal counterparts, but they are also part of a set. The more Mods from that set you use, the strong💮er they get. The problem is they use a unique Polarity that requires an extremely rare Umbral Forma to add it on, but it is worth the trouble involved. If you want to maximize your items, find a way to install these Mods into your builds.
9 Galvanize🐲d Mods
While not in the realm of beginner Mods, you should have your eyes out for Galvanized Mods once you clear the Star Chart. Accessible by completing Arbitration missions, Galvanized Mods are upgrades over some of Warframe's most essential Mods. These Galvanized variants scale off of kills, granting two or three times as much power as their default Mod variant.
As for what these𒀰 Mods do, here are a few examples🍃:
- Galvanized Chamber: +80% Multishot. On Kill: +30% Multishot for 20s. Stacks up to 5x.
- Galvanized Savvy: +80% Status Chance. On Kill: +40% Direct Damage per Status Type affecting the target for 20s. Stacks up to 2x.
- Galvanized Crosshairs: On Headshot: +120% Critical Chance while aiming for 12s. On Headshot Kill: +40% Critical Chance when aiming for 12s. Stacks up to 5x.
If it wasn't clear, these Mods are absurdly powerful and give your weapons the power they need to clear Steel Path and beyond. For more info on Galvanized Mods, check out our 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Galvanized Mods guide.
8 🌸 Primed Critic🍨al Mods
Primed Target Cracker and Primed Pistol Gambit are the two strongest Mod upgrades players can get on their secondary weapons. This duo will increase your secondary's critical chance and critical multiplier by a hefty amount, making 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the most powerful secondary weapons even better.
Both Mods are obtained from Baro Ki'Teer, a special merchant that appears in Relays every two weeks, similar to Xur from Destiny. While expensive, these Mods provide such a massive damage boost that they are worth every Ducat. You can earn Ducats by farming Prime parts and selling them at kiosks scaꦡttered 𒉰throughout the Relays.
7 ✱ Transient Fortitude𓄧
Transient Fortitude is a Corrupted Mod that grants a massive 55% Ability Strength buff for the low penalty of -27.5% Ability Duration. This negative can be completely offset with Continuity or Constitution, allowing you to benefit from a massive Ability Strength buff with virtually no downside. It's far better than Intensify and isn't as expensive to use as Umbral Intensify. Out of all the Ability Strength Mods in Warframe, Transient Fortitude is arguably the best.
6 Aura Mods
Auras are unique Warframe Mods that grant your team a buff while increasing your Warframe's Mod capacity. Besides Stances, Auras are the only way to increase the capacity of a weapon in Warframe, hence why every build should have one installed.
It's difficult to recommend a single Aura Mod since there isn't a definitive best one, so we'll give some recommendations:
- Steel Charge: Increases your team's melee damage and gives more capacity than most Aura Mods.
- Energy Siphon: You and your allies regain 0.6 Energy per second.
- Brief Respite: Abilities grant a percentage of Energy spent as shields. This allows certain Warframes to utilize the shield gate mechanic to become nigh-invincible.
- Growing Power: You and your allies gain Ability Strength for six seconds whenever you inflict a status ailment.
