Notes[]

  • Argon Scope is additive with similar mods. For example, a Snipetron Snipetron with a max rank Argon Scope and Mod TT 20px Point Strike will have a 30% × (1 + 135% + 150%) = 115.5% critical chance.
  • Argon Scope will trigger upon headshots, i.e. any weapon hit to an enemy's head, whether the target survives or not.
    • Headshots will refresh Argon Scope's timer.
    • The headshot that triggers Argon Scope will not benefit from the buff itself (unless the buff was already active).
    • Only hitting the head body part counts as headshot. Hitting other weak spots (such as Moa's backpacks) does not give the buff.
  • If activated, Argon Scope will display an icon timer beside the player's health UI, and the Warframe will be briefly surrounded by a flashing energy ribbon.
  • Can be installed alongside Mod TT 20px Point Strike or Mod TT 20px Critical Delay in order to further increase the critical chance.
