Notes

• The bonus damage gained by this mod stacks additively with other damage mods like Pressure Point Pressure Point and Spoiled Strike Spoiled Strike to increase your melee damage (including proc damage like Slash Damage Slash). Total damage is calculated as such:

Total Damage = Base Damage × [1 + Damage Mods + (Condition Overload Multiplier × n)] × (1 + Elemental Mods) (with n being the number of unique status effects currently affecting the enemy)

• The bonus does not account for Progenitor bonuses (affects Tenet Agendus Tenet Agendus, Tenet Exec Tenet Exec, Tenet Livia Tenet Livia, Tenet Grigori Tenet Grigori, and Kuva Shildeg Kuva Shildeg):

Total Damage = Base Damage × (1 + Lich Bonus) × [1 + Damage Mods + (Condition Overload Multiplier × n ÷ (1 + Lich Bonus))] × (1 + Elemental Mods) (with n being the number of unique status effects currently affecting the enemy)

• The bonus damage of a new status effect is not applied to the hit which inflicted it (or its proc damage) – only subsequent strikes are amplified.
  • Gunblades' pellets hit consecutively and therefore can be amplified by other pellets of the same shot.
• Status procs may originate from any source, including primary and secondary weapons, Warframe abilities, companions, other players, or the environment.
• Impact Damage Impact, Puncture Damage Puncture, Slash Damage Slash, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, Heat Damage Heat, Toxin Damage Toxin, Blast Damage Blast, Corrosive Damage Corrosive, Gas Damage Gas, Magnetic Damage Magnetic, Radiation Damage Radiation, Viral Damage Viral, and Void Damage Void procs all count for the damage bonus.
  • Lifted Lifted from Melee Heavy Attacks also counts.
  • Nukor Nukor and Kuva Nukor Kuva Nukor apply a unique invisible status called Microwave to enemies touched by its beam.
    • Microwave procs have infinite duration.
  • Although knockdown does not cause any icon on the enemy, it still counts as a status.
    • Note that conditions or abilities that prevent knockdowns (e.g. Bastille Bastille) will prevent it from increasing damage.
  • Since Lifted Lifted and knockdown will cancel out each other, the maximum number of status effects that can be applied to an enemy is 16.
• Status effects from Electricity Damage Electricity and Gas Damage Gas apply radial damage around the primary target, making them especially good for dealing with crowds. The radial damage will benefit from the damage bonus on the primary target but will not count toward bonus damage on subsequent hits on secondary targets.

Tips

• To achieve a high amount of distinct status procs, it is advised to use melee weapons that feature high attack speed with high base status chance and all physical damage types like the Lesion Lesion or Glaive Prime Glaive Prime.
• For complementary ranged weapons, it is advised to use weapons that feature high fire rate or area of effect with innate elemental status, such as Staticor Staticor or Pox Pox.
• Cedo Cedo's Alternate Fire can innately proc Toxin Damage Toxin, Cold Damage Cold, Electricity Damage Electricity, Heat Damage Heat, and Blast Damage Blast in an area of effect along with Slash Damage Slash from direct contact with its projectile, in addition to other modded elements.
• Certain Warframes can also inflict status and/or add damage type (plus status) to weapon's attacks, such as Saryn Saryn, Ember Ember, Volt Volt, or Equinox Equinox.
• Lavos Lavos' passive allows him to spread multiple status types through his abilities.
• Sentinels and their weapons are additional, viable sources for status effects:
  • Diriga's Arc Coil Arc Coil and Electro Pulse Electro Pulse can cause Electricity Damage Electricity procs.
  • Sweeper Sweeper (Sweeper Prime Prime) can reliably proc statuses, even on multiple enemies with increased spread and multishot.
  • Artax Artax's attacks are guaranteed to proc Cold Damage Cold which also adds the advantage of slowing enemies down.
  • Cryotra Cryotra's beam can reliably apply two status effects.
  • Prisma Burst Laser Prisma Burst Laser, obtained by purchasing Prisma Shade from Baro Ki'Teer, has a reload speed of 0.01 seconds, meaning it will effectively fire without stopping, making it useful for applying status effects.
• Several weapons can wield up to 6 effects simultaneously. Pathocyst Pathocyst, Keratinos Keratinos, Caustacyst Caustacyst, Tatsu Tatsu, Plague Kripath and Plague Keewar Zaws, and Kuva Shildeg Kuva Shildeg with Radiation Damage Radiation or Magnetic Damage Magnetic​​​​​ all tie for the highest number of damage types on a single melee weapon, thanks to innate secondary elements Viral Damage Viral, Radiation Damage Radiation, and Corrosive Damage Corrosive alongside all 3 physical damage types. After modding these weapons can have up to 6 damage types, which can rise further with stance effects.
• As this is a rare mod to farm, the easiest way to farm this mod is to just keep doing Deimos Bounties and killing Thrashers and such other creatures that drop this mod.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), this mod provided a multiplicative bonus independent of base damage mods at a lower +60% damage per status effect. Total damage calculated with Condition Overload was as follows:

Total Damage = Modded Damage × 1.6ⁿ (with n being the number of unique status procs currently affecting the enemy)

Patch History

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

Melee Mod Nerfs

Condition Overload’s maximum value is being lowered. It’s been some time since we originally changed this Mod, and in this time we’ve decided we’re still not happy with the way this goes up against other Damage Mods (namely Primed Pressure Point). We’ve reduced this to 80% to make it almost as good as Primed Pressure Point, and 3 Status Types back to where it was originally. It remains true that even though the maximum potential damage is lower now, we think it is still an extremely powerful Mod in its latest iteration.

There should now be a more meaningful choice: do you want front loaded damage or a build up from multiple Status Types?

Condition Overload is changing from:
+120% Melee Damage per Status Type affecting the target.

To
+80% Melee Damage per Status Type affecting the target.

Hotfix 28.0.6 (2020-06-24)

• Fixed Condition Overload not affecting the Stropha shots.
• Fixed Condition Overload not affecting the damage of a thrown Glaive.

Update 26.0 (2019-10-31)

• Now uses a stacking multiplier based on how many Status Effects are on the target at 120% damage per Status.
• During this whole Melee rebalance, Condition Overload remained a persistent outlier. Since launch, it has had an unintended stacking mechanic, that nothing else uses in the game: it grew exponentially, making it too volatile to balance. We know there’s nothing worse than ‘how can you call this unintended’, so let’s explain the history: initially it did the stacking on final damage, which, as you know from previous changes, we have been trying to move away from. This is because this type of stacking makes for very hard to control damage progression, and tends to be very confusing as to which damage, Melee/Proc etc, applies where. This new version of the mod makes Condition Overload’s damage multiplication become equal to Pressure Point when the enemy has 1 Status applied, better than Primed Pressure Point at 2 Statuses applied, and from there it just grows and grows. Even though the maximum potential damage is lower now, we think it is still an extremely powerful Mod in its latest iteration.
• The new ‘Lifted’ Status also counts for Condition Overload calculation. Revised Stances and the new Heavy Attack give reliable ways of applying Status to enemies, which greatly increases the reliability of Condition Overload

Update 19.2 (2016-12-01)

• Introduced.
