Volt can create and harness electrical elements. This is a high-damage Warframe perfect for players looking for a potent alternative to gunplay.

This is Volt, a versatile warrior.

Volt's arsenal is powerful and electrifying. Handle with care, Tenno.

—Lotus

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.

Trivia

• 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.

Trivia

• 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

• 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.

Augment

Main article: Kinetic Collision

Kinetic Collision is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Volt's  Speed in Conclave that increases Speed's duration when the player makes contact with an opponent.

Rank	Bonus Duration	Cost
0	1s	6
1	2s	7
2	3s	8
3	4s	9

	ENERGY: 50 KEY 3	Electric Shield Volt deploys an obstacle of energy, providing cover in any situation. Meters per Energy Drained: 2 m	Strength:N/A
			Duration:14 s
			Range:N/A
			Misc:50% (damage bonus) 6 m x 4.25 m (static shield) 2 m x 3 m (current shield) 2 (shields limit)

Info

• Shots fired through Electric Shield by Volt and his allies will gain 50%  Electricity damage.
  • Cannot be hit with hitscan or projectile weapons with Punch Through, but melee attacks & abilities can still hit Volt through Electric Shield.

• "Static" refers to static electricity, a stationary electrical charge where there is no flow of electrons.
• Volt creates an energy barrier 4.25 meters high and 6 meters wide that absorbs enemy fire. The shield lasts for 14 seconds.
• As a Static Shield will be centered near the HUD's target reticle when cast, the reticle will determine the shield's orientation as it spawns.
• The Static Shield can only be cast a maximum of 2 times. Casting after the maximum will remove the earliest Static Shield and create a new one where cast.
• A Static Shield cannot be cast while a Current Shield is equipped.

• "Current" refers to an electrical current, which is the flow or movement of electrons.
• Volt has the ability to pickup one of his Static Shields through a context action. Doing so will cause the shield to decrease in size to 2.0 m × 3.0 m and become mobile. Activating the context action again will revert the Current Shield back into a Static Shield.
• The position and movement of the Current Shield will be fixed to the target reticle, meaning the Shield will move with the camera while being within 1.5 meters of Volt.
• When the Current Shield is equipped Volt will be limited to the use of only his secondary and melee weapons and will have his speed and mobility reduced.
• Volt will be drained 2 energy for every 2 meters he travels with the Current Shield equipped.
  • Note that despite the drain rate the Current Shield will still disappear when the 14 second time limit is reached.
• Only one Current Shield can be equipped at a time.

• Casting Shock through an Electric Shield will electrify it, inflicting 50% of Shock's damage to enemies that pass through it.

			Misc:1 s (Ability Duration) .5 s (Damage Delay)

Info

• Volt emits a powerful electric pulse over 8 meters, any enemies that are hit with the initial pulse or that enter the pulse's area in first 1 seconds after the cast will be damaged for the entire 3 second Effect Duration and emit arcs of electricity like Tesla Coils, shocking hostiles who come within 4 meters.
  • Tesla Arcs are not obstructed by the environment.
  • Effected enemies will remain undamaged by Discharge itself for the first .5 seconds, then begin to damage themselves for 50  Electricity damage per tick for the remaining Effect Duration.  Electricity damage ticks twice every second.
    • Enemies can still receive damage from outside sources during the initial .5 seconds of Discharge (e.g. Tesla Damage from other nearby enemies).
  • Tesla Damage deals 50  Electricity damage per tick to hostiles within 4 meters of each other.  Electricity damage ticks twice every second.
  • Discharge Damage, Tesla Damage, and Effect Duration all have falloff over the 8m range.
