Avionics

Not to be confused with the Avionics component for Landing Craft. Strictly meant for Railjack.

Avionics
An Avionic installed on the grid, showing its rank (4) and capacity cost (8)

Avionics comprise the modular subsystem components of a Railjack, analogous to Mods for Warframes or weapons. In-game, they appear as pickups surrounded by a yellow aura.

Mechanics

Avionics can be installed into the Railjack's 15 Grid Sockets: 9 Integrated, 3 Tactical, and 3 Battle. Integrated, Tactical, and Battle Avionics can only be installed into their respective slots, with the additional requirement that Battle Avionics each have a specific Battle Grid Socket into which they must be installed (for example, Seeker Volley, a slot three Battle Avionic, can only be installed into the third Battle Grid Socket).

The Railjack has a limited Avionics Capacity, which can be increased by the Railjack's Reactor. Each installed Avionic will reduce the Railjack's available Capacity by its Drain value. If an Avionic's Drain exceeds the current available capacity, it cannot be installed without first removing another Avionic or installing a Reactor with more Avionics Capacity.

Avionics can be upgraded to increase their potency, which also increases their Avionics Capacity Drain. Any given Avionic can be upgraded a maximum of one, four, or seven times. The upgrade process expends Dirac, but does not cost credits.

Dirac to rank		Rank
		1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Common	From Previous	10	20	40	80	—	—	—
	From Rank 0	10	30	70	150	—	—	—
Uncommon	From Previous	20	40	80	160	320	640	1280
	From Rank 0	20	60	140	300	620	1260	2540
Rare	From Previous	30	60	120	240	480	960	1920
	From Rank 0	30	90	210	450	930	1890	3810

Additionally, Grid Sockets can be upgraded up to three times each, further increasing the potency of any Avionic slotted into them without incurring any additional drain for the slotted Avionic. Upgrading Grid Sockets expends successively more Dirac each time: first 200, then 600, then 1800 Dirac for a total of 2600 per Grid Socket.

Spare Avionics can be scrapped to gain Dirac. The amount received depends on the rank and rarity of the scrapped avionic.

Dirac from scrap	Rank
	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Common	5	8	12	15	18	—	—	—
Uncommon	10	18	25	33	40	48	55	63
Rare	15	28	40	53	65	78	90	103

Currently, all available Avionics can be traded amongst players.

The content was relevant to an obsolete version of Warframe, and has since been removed, retrieved, and/or revamped.

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 a specific one of the three available spots and no others, and will not show up in as an option in the other two.

Activating any Battle Avionic consumes Flux Energy that can be produced in Railjack Payload & Resource Forge.

Defensive Battle Slot

Only equippable in the leftmost slot. All Defensive Battle Avionics consume 25 Flux Energy when activated.

• Particle Ram
• Shatter Burst
• Tether

Main article: Particle Ram

Creates a cone-shaped plasma ram at the head of the Railjack that deals  Radiation damage when it collides into enemies. The ram is roughly 4x as wide and 2x as long as the Railjack. The ram can be launched off the front of the Railjack as a projectile by using the ability key again while active at no extra flux energy cost, dealing damage to anything it contacts until it dissipates. The ram lasts until manually launched, even persisting through mission transitions (but not the Dry Dock).

Main article: Shatter Burst

Launches a rocket that functions similar to Elytron's Thumper in that it creates an area of effect that continuously releases explosions that damage enemies, will detonate on impact with a surface or manually by pressing the ability button again.

Main article: Tether

Emits a field that restricts the movement of enemy targets for a certain time and then detonates, dealing damage to all enemies in a decreased range. The orb can also be shot causing it to detonate early, caution is advised since either nose or wing turrets can cause this i.e. the pilot can fire the orb and the wing turret can detonate it (usually prematurely).

• Fiery Phoenix
• Seeker Volley
• Void Hole

Main article: Fiery Phoenix

Leave a trail that deals continuous Incendiary damage to enemies touching it. Fiery Phoenix accumulates damage every second while active and will unleash it upon deactivation, damaging all enemies in range. The Railjack will also gain a speed boost and damage reduction while active. Unlike other battle avionics which consume a set amount, Fiery Phoenix consumes 50 Flux Energy on activation, then continues to drain 5 per second while active.

Patch History

Hotfix 27.0.11 (2020-01-16)

• Changed base Avionics so they all have at least one rank to address difficulty knowing which ones you can scrap and which ones you can't, due to the ‘no ranks’ Avionics stacking with all other unrankeds:
  • Lavan Ablative Shell
  • Lavan Heat Sink
  • Lavan Last Stand
  • Lavan Thermatic
  • Lavan Phasic Weave
  • Lavan Predator
  • Lavan Winged Force
  • Lavan Winged Steel
  • Vidar Last Stand
• To accomodate for the base Avionic change above, other Avionics have been changed:
  • Vidar Predator: Higher base stat and higher drain
  • Vidar Winged Steel: Lower drain
  • Vidar Winged Force: Lower drain
• Increased the Range of Winged Cyclone, Winged Force, Winged Steel, and Winged Storm to 1000m.
  • This also fixes these Archwing based Avionics for Railjack also affecting the Railjack itself.
• Toned down the FX for both the Particle Ram and Fiery Phoenix Battle Avionic when aboard the Railjack.
  • This change is being made due to plenty of feedback requesting less visibility-inhibiting FX.

Hotfix 27.0.6 (2019-12-18)

• You can now trade Avionics in your Dojo or Maroo’s Bazaar!

Update 27.0 (2019-12-13)

• Introduced.
