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.

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[]

Volt is one of the three starter Warframes, alongside ExcaliburIcon272 Excalibur and MagIcon272 Mag, during Awakening.

Volt's blueprints can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.

Volt can also be bought complete from Teshin for ReputationLarge 60,000 once players have achieved Typhoon rank in the Conclave.

Trivia[]

Main article: Volt/Main § 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 MagIcon272 Mag due to a desire of the developers to have a female starter. Volt then replaced LokiIcon272 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 BansheeIcon272 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 ChromaIcon272 Chroma.

Volt Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.
A glorious warrior from the past, Volt Prime features the same abilities as Volt, but with unique mod polarities for greater customization.

Release Date: March 24th, 2015

Volt Prime is the Primed variant of VoltIcon272 Volt, possessing a higher armor, as well as an additional Madurai Pol polarity. Volt Prime was released alongside Odonata Prime.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike the other starter frames (ExcaliburIcon272 Excalibur, MagIcon272 Mag, and formerly LokiIcon272 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 PrimeIcon272 Frost Prime, EmberIcon272 Ember, Rhino PrimeIcon272 Rhino Prime) either, instead having his own unique black and yellow scheme.
  • His appearance was seen in the Conclave mod Mod TT 20px Relentless Assault before his release.
  • When using his Shock130xWhite 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.

Conclave:Volt/Patch History

  1. "Volt's blueprints added to Mission Reward tables. We would like to clarify here that the original U11 notes suggested that his former Boss, J3Golem, would be dropping them in systemic invasions. This is no longer the case, and his parts can be found by playing various missions." - Update 11.1 (2013-11-27) notes
