Argon Scope is a rare rifle mod that increases critical chance while aiming for a brief time upon a headshot.
Stats[]
| Rank | Critical chance | Duration | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | +22.5% | 1.5s | 2 |
| 1 | +45% | 3s | 3 |
| 2 | +67.5% | 4.5s | 4 |
| 3 | +90% | 6s | 5 |
| 4 | +112.5% | 7.5s | 6 |
| 5 | +135% | 9s | 7 |
Notes[]
- Argon Scope is additive with similar mods. For example, a
Snipetron with a max rank Argon Scope and 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).
- 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.
- This icon is the same as Hydraulic Crosshairs and Cat's Eye and features the four-leaf clover.
- This icon is the same as
- Can be installed alongside Point Strike or Critical Delay in order to further increase the critical chance.
