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 thefour-leaf clover.
• Can be installed alongside  Point Strike or  Critical Delay in order to further increase the critical chance.

• Rank 4 has a few unnecessary decimals.
