Volt has the power to wield and bend electricity. He is highly versatile, armed with powerful abilities that can damage enemies, provide cover and complement the ranged and melee combat of his cell. The electrical nature of his abilities make him highly effective against the Corpus, with their robots in particular. He is one of three starter options for new players.

Acquisition
Edit
Volt's blueprint can be purchased from the Tenno Research Lab interface in the Clan Dojo once it has been researched. It costs 35,000 to replicate (purchase) the main blueprint and
15,000 for each component blueprint for a total of
80,000. Volt can also be bought complete from Teshin for
60,000 once players have achieved Typhoon rank in the Conclave.

Trivia
Edit
- The volt is a measure of electrical potential, a type of potential energy that could be released if an electrical current is allowed to flow, hence Volt's electrical essence.
- During closed beta, Overload was notoriously overpowered as a result of a bug that would allow the lightning to daisy-chain throughout a level, killing any enemy that had spawned.
- Before Update 7 Volt was one of the 3 initial starter Frames. He was replaced by
Mag due to a desire of the developers to have a female starter. Volt then replaced
Loki as a starting Warframe in Update 14.
- Volt has had three drop changes since Update 11; prior to Update 11 his components dropped from the J3-Golem on Jupiter. After The Hunt For Alad V, his components were moved to Survival mission rewards, making him the second Warframe obtainable through regular mission rewards (the first was
Banshee). Update 12 moved Volt and Banshee to the Tenno Research Labs, and the both of them have remained there since.
- The rings on Volt's arms are considered customizable armor parts and will be removed if any other arm plates are used.
- Volt's default energy color appears as deep orange-yellow on his body, but the color of any electricity he emits is a darker blue/purple.
- The back of Volt's tunic stretches when Volt's legs move apart.
- Volt is the first Warframe to receive 5 Augment Mods, 2 of them being Conclave exclusive.
- Volt's Neuroptics is a requisite ingredient for
Chroma.
“Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die.” The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables at this time and are no longer available.

Trivia
Edit
- Unlike the other starter frames (
Excalibur,
Mag, and formerly
Loki) with their Prime counterparts, he does not possess their white and olive default color scheme. He also does not have the black and olive default scheme of the dark-colored Primes (
Frost Prime,
Ember,
Rhino Prime) either, instead having his own unique black and yellow scheme.
- His appearance was seen in the Conclave mod
Relentless Assault before his release.
- When using his
Shock ability, Volt Prime summons a lightning bolt to strike an enemy from above, along with releasing a bolt from his hand. This effect, however, does not apply to chained enemies and is purely visual. The aerial lightning strike is also unaffected by energy color and will remain white.
Vaultings
Edit
- On February 22nd, 2017, it was announced that Volt Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on February 28th, 2017. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is. However, relics exclusive to Baro Ki'Teer become available on rare occasion that contain parts.
