User:Rastanari/Essential Beginner Mods

A Mod is used to increase the power and functionality of warframes, weapons and companions. As mods increase in rank they become much more powerful.

The rank of a mod is increased by spending Endo and credit resources. When progressing through the game, players will find credits are easily obtained everywhere by normal game activity but endo is not and endo is the single most critical resource used to increase a mod's rank.

Players collect endo as they progress through the game mission-by-mission and planet-by-planet. Later stages of the game award increasing amounts of endo. But for beginning players endo is a limited and precious resource.

The mods listed below are the most important ones for beginning players as they progress through the game. These mods will be used on virtually every warframe, weapon and companion a player will equip and are the mods a beginning player should focus on to spend their endo to rank up, at least through the first 6 or more planets.

Warframes
- Shields

- Armor

- Health

Weapons
- Rifle

- Pistol

- Pistol

- Melee

Companions
- Shields

or - Resource Retrieval

- Resource Retrieval

For context, by the time players finish Jupiter each of the warframe and weapon mods listed above should be rank 4 at a minimum and preferably rank 6. The companion mods should be a minimum of rank 2. Whether or not a player has collected enough endo to increase the rank of these mods accordingly is of course dependent on that player's in-game activity. Whether or not at least one of each of these mods has dropped for a player is also game-dependent.
