Desiccation's Curse is a Warframe Augment Mod for 
Inaros' 
Desiccation ability that has a chance to summon a 
Swarm Kavat when killing a blinded enemy with a Finisher. The augment also increases the maximum limit of Swarm Kavats by 2.
Stats[]
| Rank | Chance | Cost |

| 0 | 35% | 6 |
| 1 | 50% | 7 |
| 2 | 70% | 8 |
| 3 | 100% | 9 |
Acquisition[]
- This mod can be acquired by attaining the rank of Maxim under Arbiters of Hexis, or the rank of Partner under The Perrin Sequence, and spending
25,000 to purchase.
Notes[]
- Maximum Swarm Kavat limit is increased to 5.
- The augment functions normally when Desiccation is subsumed onto other Warframes, allowing them to summon up to 2 Swarm Kavats.
- Will not work with Blade Storm when subsumed onto Ash, despite being counted as finisher kills.
- Since Swarm Kavats spread Scarab Swarm via their claw attacks, Inaros only has to perform a minimum one finisher kill to repeatedly spawn Swarm Kavats from swarmed enemies.
Trivia[]
- Despite the change in this augment's function in Update 35.5 (2024-03-27), the image depicted still depicts a Sand Shadow, a sandy duplicate of a previously killed enemy, which Inaros can no longer create due to Swarm Kavats replacing them.
Patch History[]
Update 35.5 (2024-03-27)
- Inaros Rework
- Instead of enemies turning into a sandy copy of their former selves on death, they become Swarm Kavats capable of applying Scarab Swarm on their targets.
- Mod description reads: “Killing a blinded enemy with a Finisher has a X% chance to summon a Swarm Kavat that will spread Scarab Swarm.”
Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)
- Fixed several cases where the game was not recognizing a Ground Finisher for the activation of Mods and Arcanes. The intent is that Ground Finishers, Stealth Finishers and Parazon Finishers should be equivalent unless explicitly stated otherwise:
- Inaros' Desiccation Curse augment will now create sand minions on Ground Finishers
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- Inaros’ Sand Shadows base lifespan are now affected by Duration mods.
Update 31.2 (2022-03-16)
- WARFRAME AUGMENT BUFFS
As mentioned in our last Devstream, we set out to buff a selection of Augments that were underused according to our statistics. Our goal is to bring these Augments up to speed, and align them with our more popular Augments. The buffs below are merely additions onto what already exists in the game. This won’t be our only batch, so expect to see more Augment changes in the future!
Inaros: Desiccation's Curse
Before: Killing a blinded enemy with a finisher has a 75% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow.
*New: Killing a blinded enemy with a finisher now has a 100% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow. Increased Sand Shadows damage by double.
Hotfix 24.2.7 (2018-01-09)
