Mods come in the form of “cards” that equip to just about everything in Warframe. Generally speaking, these special classes of mods are either purchased or earned through specific missions. The latter two, Legendary and Riven, do not drop from enemies.

Meanwhile, Primed mods are platinum and Rivens are purple. These follow the usual color schemes of bronze, silver, and gold. There are five primary ranks of rarity for Warframe mods: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary (commonly called Primed), and Riven.


They amplify raw damage, modify elemental types, and generally make everything you do better. Mods are the primary determiners of your power level - regardless of what weapons and robots you wield. But all of the real action is behind the scenes. At first glance, Warframe is all about getting new ‘frames and weapons.
