Avionics


 * Not to be confused with the Avionics component for Landing Craft.

Avionics comprise the modular subsystem components of a Railjack, analogous to Mods for Warframes or weapons.

There are two major components of Avionics: First the "software" modules themselves (divided into three categories of Integrated, Tactical and Battle Avionics) and the "hardware" Avionics Grid into which they are slotted.

Like mods, some versions of these modules can be upgraded, at the cost of some Dirac and an increase in capacity usage, to improve the effectiveness of the module. Whether a module can be upgraded in the first place is denoted by the presence of empty diamonds above the module's name, with each level filling one of these diamonds. Unlike regular mods, however, the slots these mods are placed in can also be upgraded, to a maximum of three times, and at a higher Dirac cost. When upgraded, a slot will increase the effective level of any mod slotted into it by however many times it has been upgraded, even if the mod is already at its maximum rank.

Avionics Grid
The Avionics Grid provides the means to slot in the respective modules. It is divided into 9 Integrated and 3 Tactical universal slots to the right (assignable in any desired order) as well as 3 specialized Battle slots to the left (exclusively for ability 1 to 3 Avionics each).

Any of these 15 slots can be additionally upgraded up to 3 times, Rank 1 for 200 Dirac, Rank 2 for 600 Dirac and Rank 3 for 1,800 Dirac. Thus to max out a Grid, costs a total of 39,000 Dirac. These Rank bonuses stack onto any Avionics module slotted into them thus able to increase even ones without any innate ranks or powering them beyond their Maximum Rank (indicated by the blue bonus cells in the charts below).

Integrated Avionics
These modules provide a passive bonus to the stats of the Railjack. Each Sigma Railjack comes with three unique "starter" Integrated Avionics pre-installed, which do not belong to any manufacturer House.

The bonus the avionics give can be described as:

Cell Coloring
Blue cells = Boosted Avionics due to Grid Rank Bonus of 1 to 3 Red cells = Unavailable

Ablative Shell
Reduce Chem Damage

Anode Cell
Increases Shield Recharge rate.

Bulkhead
Increases Railjack Hull (health).

Conic Nozzle
Increases (base) Speed.

Forward Artillery
Increases Forward Artillery (the Tunguska cannon) Damage.

Heat Sink
Reduces Incendiary damage (only applies to enemy projectiles, not fire hazards).

Hull Weave
Increases Railjack armor.

Hyperflux
Increases Flux Energy.

Hyperstrike
Increases Turret damage (both pilot and gunner seats).

Ion Burn
Increases Boost Speed.

Last Stand
Increases All Turret Damage when Hull is below 20%.

Maxima
Increases Max Shields.

Phasic Weave
Reduces Ionic Damage.

Polar Coil
Increases Turret Heat Capacity.

Predator
Increases all Turret Critical Chance.

Ripload
Decreases Ordnance Reload time.

Section Density
Increase all Turret Critical Damage.

Thermatic
Reduces Frost damage.

Warhead
Increases Ordnance damage.

Winged Storm
Increase nearby ally ArchWing Damage by X% within XXm.

Winged Cyclone
Increase Archwing Speed by X% within 100m.

Winged Force
Increase Archwing Shields by X% within XXm.

Winged Steel
Increase nearby ally Archwing Armor by X% within XXm.

Tactical Avionics
These modules provide special abilities that can be deployed through the tactical map screen.

Battle Forge
Reduces Forge Cooldown. Cooldown of 480s.

Fire Suppression
Extinguishes fire hazards. Cooldown of 300s.

Flow Burn
Increases Speed and Speed Boost for 5s. Cooldown of 240s.

Form Up
Recall all Crew Members to the Railjack and heal them. Cooldown of 240s.

Intruder Stasis
Freezes all Enemy Boarding Parties. Cooldown of 300s.

Squad Renew
Heal all Railjack squad members by 50%. Cooldown of 300s.

Void Cloak
Cloaks the Railjack at the expense of engine speed. Cooldown of 120s.
 * Note: Void Cloak seems to reach its cap at rank 3. It is currently unknown if this is the intended behaviour.

Battle Avionics
These modules provide powerful abilities that are used similarly to Warframe abilities. Unlike Tactical and Integrated avionics, however, they cannot be slotted freely into any of the available slots. Each Battle Avionic fits into one of the three available spots and only in that one, and will not show up in as an option in the other two. Grid upgrades consume Dirac, needing 200 for rank 1, 600 for rank 2 and 1800 for rank 3.

Munitions Vortex
Fits into the first battle slot. Deploys a bubble that absorbs fire for X seconds. Detonates for all accumulated damage over X meters. Flux Energy Cost: 25. Base Avionics Capacity usage: 2. Stats: Rank 0 - 5s, 50m. Rank 1 - 5s 75m. Rank 2 - 8s, 85m. Rank 3 - 9s 100m Rank 4 - 10s, 120m (Rank 4 is presumed numbers based off being a Rank 2 Munitions Vortex in a Rank 2 Grid Slot).

Blackout Pulse
Fits into the first battle slot. Deploys an Electro-Magnetic Pulse, dealing X Damage to enemies withing 100m and disabling them temporarily. Manually detonate to increase the Blast Radius to 250m. Flux Energy Cost: 25. Numbers are presumed from a Max Rank (4) on maxed Grid. Requires 8 Capacity at max Rank.

Tether
Fits into the second battle slot. Emits a field that restricts the movement of 6(10) enemy targets within 140m(200m) for 15s(20s). Detonates for 1800(3000) Damage over 85m(120m).

Particle Ram
Fits into the second battle slot. Creates a cone-shaped plasma ram at the head of the Railjack (cone is around 3-4x as wide as the Railjack at the widest point and around 2x as long) damaging things that collide with its hitbox (ram has no HP, sustain cost or duration). This ram can be launched off the front of the Railjack as a projectile, dealing damage to anything it contacts until it dissipates (duration 2s +0.5s per rank). Dissipation has no extra cost. Deals 900 damage at rank 4.

Shatter Burst
(rank 4, grid 3) Launches a rocket that sticks to a  surface and creates a barrage of 7 explosions per second over 20s, dealing 500 dmg in 60m.

Seeker Volley
Fits into the third Battle slot. Releases a volley of homing missiles at the cost of 100 Flux Energy. 16 missiles are fired from an unranked Avionic, while a max ranked Volley will fire 38 for the same cost. These missiles make short work of fighters and Ramsleds, but deal negligible damage to Crewships regardless of their level. Damage increases with the Warhead Avionic, but not with upgraded (MKI, MKII, MKIII rockets.

Void Hole
Creates a 150m black hole that sucks in enemies, dealing 300 damage per second over 25s. Flux Energy Cost: 100 (Rank 4, Grid 3).
