While you can use a fusion core to do this, the return on your investment makes it hard to recommend. To upgrade a mod, you must use the fusion process. Orokin Cores can be used to increase your mod capacity greatly. If you try to equip more than you have the capacity to afford, well, it won’t work. Any damage increases, rate of fire increases, and so on, to the more interesting mods like burstshot and elemental damage, come directly from an associated mod.Įach mod is worth so many points, and your items level determines its mod capacity. No longer can I save my mod slots for more interesting mods, like burstshot or fire damage, though they still exist if I so desire.Įnemies are the only way you will get a mod to drop, so you want to kill as many enemies as possible to maximize your potential earnings.Īs I stated in the first section, these mods are extremely important as of Update 7, as they now grant your gear all of their buffs. Whereas before, I earned bonus damage, rate of fire, and such from a tree for my Burston rifle, now I have to have the associated mods. Now, levelling your gear simply increases how many mods you can fit on your gear, and the Reactor/Core increases that number significantly. Each piece of equipment had an RPG-like levelling-tree, which could be expanded dramatically by installing an Orokin Reactor or Core. During the closed beta, levelling your frame and your weapons actually DID something. While farming for foundry supplies was somewhat worthwhile before, it wasn’t needed, and mods weren’t your only means of building your character. It all comes down to the changes made with Update 7. With this guide, I’ll show you how to maximize your mod earnings per mission, as well as foundry crafting items and how to determine what alerts are really worth your time. With the release of Update 7, and the Steam release, Warframe’s player progression is more reliant than ever on you having a good selection of mods at your disposal.
