Dragon Keys are craftable Void Keys that enable access to Orokin Vaults located in the Orokin Derelict. Blueprints for said keys are available in the market and they are fully reusable. Stated as being very powerful, they also have negative side effects while having them equipped. They also require a spare Void Key of any type in order to make, along with 250 Ferrite, 500 Credits, and take 60 seconds to make. When building, you will be taken to your Void Key inventory to select the key you wish to use. Survival keys are awarded often from Survival missions, a good way to get keys if you do not want to use up other keys you own.

They are equipped just like regular consumables, in the gear section of your arsenal. You can only take one key along at a time, and each member of your squad may also bring a key. To maximize the chances of having the correct key, have each member of your team bring a different key.

Once a key is used to open the vault, the debuff from that key will be removed, but only if you made one key. If you made and claimed 2 or more of the same key, when consuming the key, there will still be the others in your inventory. It is advised to only claim one key at a time, and have keys built and ready to claim in the foundry instead.

Be sure to remove the key from your gear when playing normal missions, as the key will apply the debuff as long as you have it equipped.

Keys are only consumed when used to open a vault, and will remain in your possession until you do so. 

Stats

These debuffs only apply to the person with the key equipped and are applied after bonuses (applied to your total damage/speed/shield). Players using Rhino or Frost will be extremely slowed down as if affected by ice damage, powerful weapons will only do 25% of their original damage, and health and shield will be reduced to 25% of what they would be. Remember that the Infested occupy the Derelicts, so plan accordingly, however Faction Swaps still apply. Volt can temporarily add speed bonuses to teammates to counter the debuff, and Rhino, Valkyr or Mirage (augments) can increase damage dealt to enemies.

When a player open an Orokin Vault with their respective key as listed above, they will lose their penalty to their warframe, however picking up the Orokin artifact will add and new penalty to the players warframe, either their previous penalty or a new one. If another player other than the one who opened the Orokin vault takes the artifact, then they will suffer 2 penalties to their warframe. Dragon key penalties can be stacked on one warframe, (1 player could have the effects of 2 hobbled keys which will reduce the speed of warframe, to 25% of what it normally would be.

Tips To Speed Run Orokin Vaults

General Tips

• A four person squad is manadatory for speed running the Orokin Vaults.
• Each player must have one of the 4 dragon keys equipped, (Bleeding, Decaying, Extinguished and Hobbled). This will ensure that upon Discovering an Orokin Vault that you will always be able to open it.
• The quickest and safest way to ensure that a party gets a corrupted mod at the end of every run is to craft Orokin Derelict Exterminate Keys as they mission usually has less room and thus the vault is usually quicker to spot. Also after taking the Orokin Artifact for the vault the enemies will be turned into corrupted enemies and thus harder to eliminate. Having a fixed amount of enemies in a exterminate mission helps to reduce the difficulty as enemies that are killed do not respawn.

Warframe Selection & Loadout

• A four person squad should consist of 1 Saryn, 2 Volts and 1 Trinity.
• Trinity should focus on a Energy Vampire build consisting of maximum power strength and minumum duration in order to provide as much energy as possible in the shortest amount of time.
• Saryn should focus on a Miasma build consisting of maximum range and minimum duration, to eliminate the enemies.
• The 2 volts should focus on a Speed build consisting of maximum duration and power strength. to quickly run through the Orokin Derelict. It is highly recommended that one volt use the Hobbled Dragon Key as although he will be significantly slowed down to 50% of his normal speed, using speed should somewhat counter this penalty.
