Void Damage is a special damage type that is almost exclusive to Operators, their Amps, and 
Xaku. Originally a placeholder damage type introduced in Update 18.0, it was formally named into the game in Update 22.0 with the inclusion of The Quills. While neutral across the board, it provides several advantages over 
Sentient enemies as follows:
- Guarantees a stun against drone-type Sentients like Battalysts and Conculysts.
- Nullifies any damage resistance developed by drone-type Sentients and the Shadow Stalker.
- Bypasses certain invulnerabilities possessed by eidolon-type Sentient like the Eidolon Vomvalyst, Eidolon Teralyst, and the Ropalolyst.
Other known usage of this damage type are as follows:
- Destroying Kuva clouds in Kuva Siphon missions.
- Forces Profit-Taker Orb's shields to adopt another damage type weakness.
- Properly open an Isolation Vault.
- Restore Loid's health.
Status Effects
Edit
The Status Effect of Void damage is Bullet Attractor, which creates a small 5 meter field centered around the target's torso to absorb and redirect all projectiles toward the center for 3 seconds.

Void SourcesEdit
Void damage can be found in the Operator's Void powers, which include:
- Void Beam/Amp (Operator attack)
- Void Blast (Operator melee)
- Void Dash (Operator bullet jump)
Void damage is part of Warframe Xaku's Abilities
- Xata's Whisper
- Grasp of Lohk
- The Lost (Deny sub-ability)
- The Vast Untime
NotesEdit
- Void damage is neither physical nor elemental; as such it receives no increases from Madurai's Phoenix Talons or Phoenix Spirit, and conversely it receives no penalties against resistances generated from Sortie conditions (Physical or Elemental Enhancements). Void damage deals full damage to enemies with either of these enhancements.
- The Paracesis at Rank 40 gains Void properties against Sentients. However, it does not actually do Void damage.

Patch HistoryEdit
Update 29.1
- We are making Void damage ‘True Neutral’ by removing the 50% resistance of Void damage on Cloned Flesh and Fossilized enemies - a long desired request for Void damage.
- Currently, Void damage is relatively ineffective against Cloned Flesh and Fossilized enemies which greatly limits the use of Xata’s Whisper on Grineer and Infested enemies. In an effort to give it (and Void damage in general) more utility across enemy categories, we are removing this resistance so that it aligns with its neutral effectiveness against the other enemy types. It is important to note that Eidolons, Amalgams, and certain bosses will still maintain this resistance.
- Introduced.
