Riven Mods are special mods for primary weapons, secondary weapons, melee weapons, archguns, and robotic weapons.
Riven Mods are completely unique; no two are the same, even if they have the same attributes, as their numbers will differ.
Warning: Weapon Dispositions are rebalanced every Prime Access release, resulting in ever-changing Riven Mod values. This should be kept in mind when investing in the Riven system.
Properties[]
Riven Mods are unique amongst other Mods in a variety of ways:
- Require the player to complete stated challenge to reveal its weapon assignment and attributes.
- Carry two or three different bonuses.
- Can carry a negative stat, the effects of which can be crippling but which greatly increases the potency of bonuses.
- Can have any of the Madurai, Naramon, or Vazarin polarities, regardless of its attributes.
- Have their own Mastery Rank requirement independent of the weapon, ranging from 8 to 16.
- Can have its bonuses (but not the weapon) rerolled with the use of Kuva.
- Are assigned to a single weapon per Riven mod, similar to Weapon Augment Mods.
- Cannot be equipped alongside another Riven mod.
Upgrade costs and Trading Credit taxes of Riven mods are equivalent to those of Rare mods.
Players start off with 15 inventory slots for Riven mods, which can be increased by purchasing 3 slots for 
60 at a time from the Market, up to a maximum of 150 slots (total cost to buy additional 135 slots is 2,700). Achieving MR 30 earns an additional 30 slots for a total of 180. Receiving a Riven mod while being at the current limit will block access to any further Sorties, and the player will be given a choice to purchase slots, trade away a Riven mod, or dissolve a Riven mod of their selection.
Acquisition[]
A single Riven mod is given to players upon completion of The War Within quest.
In a more general sense, Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol, Melee, Kitgun, and Zaw Riven mods can primarily be acquired from:
- Palladino, a character in Iron Wake, who can transmute 10x
Riven Sliver into a veiled Riven mod, once per week. Players can obtain Riven Slivers as rewards from:
- opening Requiem Relics
- Empyrean, as a Mission reward
- drops of eximus units killed in The Steel Path.
- Sorties, with various drop chances:
Weapon Type Drop Chance Melee 8.14% Pistol 7.61% Rifle 6.79% Kitgun 2% Zaw 2% Shotgun 1.36%
- Teshin rotating offerings – does not include Pistol and Melee Riven mods
Riven mods can also more sporadically be acquired from:
- Nightwave, as a possible rank reward, depending on the series
- Tactical Alerts
- Gift from the Lotus Alerts
- Daily Tribute Evergreen milestones, awarding three Riven Mods along with three Riven Slots
In addition to the above, players can also acquire the following:
- Archgun Riven mods – from Arbitration Honors
- Companion Weapon Riven mods – from Cephalon Simaris
Challenges[]
A Veiled Riven mod.
When a player receives a Riven mod, it is Veiled and:
- Will not take up mod capacity.
- Will not grant any bonuses or curses.
- Cannot be upgraded.
- In order to be unveiled - it must be equipped on a weapon of the same class that itself must be equipped in the currently active loadout:
- Veiled Rifle Rivens can only be equipped on non-shotgun primaries.
- Veiled Shotgun Rivens can only be equipped on shotguns.
- Veiled Pistol Rivens can only be equipped on secondaries.
- Veiled Melee and Zaw Rivens can only be equipped on melee weapons.
- Veiled Kitgun Rivens can be equipped on either primaries or secondaries.
- Veiled Robotic Weapons Rivens can be equipped on any Robotic weapon.
- Veiled Archgun Rivens can only be equipped on Archguns.
Furthermore:
- The weapon used to complete a challenge is entirely irrelevant to the resulting Riven.
- It is possible to complete the challenges using any equipped weapon or Warframe ability, i.e. it does not need to be the weapon on which the Riven is currently equipped (however the Riven must be equipped on an item within the current loadout while attempting the challenge).
- If its conditions are met, the Riven will be revealed independently of mission success. It will also be automatically removed from the weapon used to reveal it if that weapon is not the Riven's dedicated type.
- Completing the challenges also gives affinity.
- Certain challenge modifiers are listed below for the sake of clarity:
- Being alone - No Companions equipped. Venari is exempt from this modifier as she is instead tied to Khora's abilities. Not to be confused with Solo mode.
- With an active pet - Generally refers to Beast-type companions. Venari is excluded from this modifier.
- Having a Dragon Key equipped - any Dragon Key can be used for this challenge, unless specified.
- Being alone - No Companions equipped.

Attributes[]
A 
Latron Riven mod.
Rivens are distinct from regular mods in that they are inconsistent in polarity (chosen between 
, 
, or 
), Mastery Rank requirement (chosen between MR8-16), attributes, and have between two and four attributes. It is possible to have Rivens to grant a very powerful set of bonuses with a negligible (sometimes even beneficial) curse and vice-versa (e.g. Soma Sati-critatis with a curse that reduces undesirable 
Puncture Damage, giving way to better procs).
Riven mods draw their names from a size pool of 31, indicated by the randomized/rerolled attributes that the new mod has. Names consist of a prefix and/or a core and suffix and follow "Prefix-CoreSuffix" or "CoreSuffix" pattern.
- Whether a stat is shown as a prefix, core or suffix is determined by the magnitude of the randomized modifier on that stat. The prefix and core are determined by the stats with the highest and second highest randomized modifier, respectively. The suffix is always the stat with the lowest randomized modifier.
- For example, Vectis Sati-critaata has Multishot as the highest stat, Critical Chance as the second highest stat, and Base Damage as the lowest stat.
The 31 positive attributes are:
| Effect | Prefix | Suffix | Rifle | Shotgun | Pistol | Archgun | Melee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Additional Combo Count Chance | Laci | Nus | – | – | – | – | 58.77% |

- Legend/Notes:
†Positive values only
Sentinel weapons use the base values of their associated weapon class (e.g. 
Deconstructor = Melee, 
Sweeper = Shotgun, etc.).
The actual stat values are randomly chosen between 90% and 110% of the base value, multiplied by the Disposition, and then multiplied by the following value:
| Type of Stats | Bonus | Negative |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Bonus 0 Negative | 0.99 | 0 |
| 2 Bonus 1 Negative | 1.2375 | -0.495 |
| 3 Bonus 0 Negative | 0.75 | 0 |
| 3 Bonus 1 Negative | 0.9375 | -0.75 |
Disposition[]
The randomized attributes for Riven mods are affected by Disposition, a stat multiplier provided by the system that collates the usage popularity of a given weapon across the entire player base. Disposition strength controls the range of the attributes available for each weapon. Disposition can be any value between 0.5 and 1.55, but in-game this is simplified to 5 categories:
- ●●●●● (1.31-1.55): Strong: Assigned to the least frequently-used weapons. Rivens with this disposition provide the greatest attributes.
- ●●●●○ (1.11-1.3): This Disposition is assigned to less popular weapons, Riven mods provide above-average attributes.
- ●●●○○ (0.9-1.1): Neutral: Weapons that see average usage within the player base, resulting in average attributes.
- ●●○○○ (0.7-0.89): Slightly more popular weapons, these will yield a below-average attributes.
- ●○○○○ (0.5-0.69): Faint: Assigned to the most frequently-used weapons, Rivens with this disposition provide the most restrained attributes. All newly released weapons start with this disposition.[1]
Disposition is not necessarily shared between all variants of a single weapon. For example, the 
Telos Boltor shares the same disposition with its 
Prime variant at 1.15. However, the standard 
Boltor has a different disposition at 1.25.
For Modular Weapons, the disposition is tied to the Main Component of the weapon, i.e. the Strike for a Zaw, and the Chamber for a Kitgun Secondary or Primary. For Kitguns, the Disposition of the Chamber can be different for Secondary and Primary versions.
Disposition changes every three months, aligned with every new Prime Access. If a weapon's disposition is changed, the attributes on already unveiled Rivens for the weapon will be automatically adjusted to match the new disposition.
A weapon's Disposition can be seen in the Arsenal under the Upgrade tab, but only when a riven which can be equipped to that weapon is currently owned.
Below is a list of Weapons, Zaw Strikes and Kitgun Chambers by Disposition:
Cycling (Rerolling)[]
Another unique aspect of a Riven mod's attributes is their ability to cycle (reroll) the attributes via the Cycle function in the Mods segment in the Orbiter. A Riven mod is cycled after spending Kuva, found through Kuva Siphon objectives on planets close to the Kuva Fortress or as an uncommon reward for completing Bounties.
Cycling a Riven mod affects the number of attributes, as well as the final numerical attribute, but not the current weapon designation, mod rank, polarity or Mastery Rank requirement. Dispositions belong to the weapons and not the mods, and thus a cycled riven will not have attributes outside its own range of values.
After cycling a mod, both the old version of the mod and the new version is displayed, and players can choose to keep the version they prefer.
Cycling a Riven mod starts off with 
900 Kuva for the first cycle and increases on subsequent cycles of the same mod, capped at 3500 Kuva. The number of cycles is indicated by a clockwise arrow at the bottom right of the Riven mod.
| Cycle | Cost | Cumulative Cost | ~Runs | Cumulative Runs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 900 | 900 | 1.4 | 1.4 |
| 2 | 1,000 | 1,900 | 1.6 | 3.0 |
| 3 | 1,200 | 3,100 | 1.9 | 5.0 |
| 4 | 1,400 | 4,500 | 2.2 | 7.2 |
| 5 | 1,700 | 6,200 | 2.7 | 9.9 |
| 6 | 2,000 | 8,200 | 3.2 | 13.1 |
| 7 | 2,350 | 10,550 | 3.8 | 16.9 |
| 8 | 2,750 | 13,300 | 4.4 | 21.3 |
| 9 | 3,150 | 16,450 | 5.1 | 26.4 |
| 10+ | 3,500 | 19,950 | 5.8 | 32.2 |
Total Kuva cost to roll:
- An unrolled Riven 9 times is 16,450.
- A high-rolled Riven 9 times is 31,500.
Therefore, 15,050 Kuva can be saved by rolling an unrolled Riven instead.
Transmutation[]
If a player has excess Rivens and are comfortable with doing away with several of them, a Riven Transmuter allows them to sacrifice four Rivens in their inventory for a new, veiled Riven mod.
The Riven Transmuter is a drop acquired from the Eidolon Hydrolyst, consuming four Riven mods to transmute them into a new, veiled one. The new Riven will always be of the same type as one of the transmuted Rivens. As a consequence, if four of the same type are transmuted (e.g. only rifle Rivens), then the new mod will be of the same weapon class.
Upon transmutation, the four selected Riven mods and the Riven Transmuter will be consumed.
Trade Data[]
Digital Extremes exposes in-game Riven Mods trade data through their website for third-party use, which is automatically updated weekly based on the prior week's trades.[2]
Players can access this data from the following websites:
- PC: http://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/repos/weeklyRivensPC.json
- Playstation 4 & Playstation 5: http://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/repos/weeklyRivensPS4.json
- Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S: http://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/repos/weeklyRivensXB1.json
- Nintendo Switch: http://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/repos/weeklyRivensSWI.json
Notes[]
- Riven mods are not saved in a player's Codex.
- It is possible to complete multiple Riven mod challenges within a single mission, assuming the player qualifies for them simultaneously.
- While it is possible to equip a veiled Riven mod onto Robotic Weapons, the challenge will not appear for the player.
- Typing [Riven mod] in the in-game chat and selecting the mod will let other players in the same chat channel see its bonuses.
- Typing out the name of the actual Riven mod is an alternative way of representing the player's mod in chat.
- Base (unranked) Endo value of Riven mods is affected by the Mastery Rank requirement, weapon type, and number of cycles.
- A Riven Mod's chosen weapon is determined upon its unveiling; thus a Riven mod can be obtained, saved, and unveil a weapon that did not exist when the Riven mod itself was rewarded/obtained.
- Riven mods can be used on variants of a particular weapon, including MK1, Prime, Vandal, Wraith, Dex, Prisma, Mara, and Syndicate variants.
- Being entirely separate weapons, Riven mods for the Mutalist Cernos and the Mutalist Quanta are not compatible with the normal Cernos or Quanta respectively, and vice versa. The same restriction applies to Dual Sidearms and Single Sidearms. Several Melee weapons such as Dex Dakra and Dakra Prime, Nikana (Prime) and Dragon Nikana are also considered separate melee weapons.
- Being entirely separate weapons, Riven mods for the
- Riven mods will not generate for Exalted Weapons.
- If a Riven mod includes multiple elemental damage bonuses, the elements listed are applied in the reversed order.
- This means that any other elemental damage mod installed directly before the Riven mod will interact with the last element listed as opposed to the first element listed. Placing an elemental damage mod directly after said Riven mod instead will not affect the Riven mod's combined damage.
- For example, if a Heat damage mod is placed directly before a Riven mod that grants Electricity and Cold damage (and thus, Magnetic damage), it will create Blast and Electricity damage as opposed to Radiation and Cold damage. Putting said Heat damage mod directly after the Riven mod will keep the Magnetic damage intact.
- Currently, the lowest Mastery Rank requirement to equip, trade, or sell a Riven mod is 8, and the highest is 16.
- The total Endo gain from dissolving a Riven mod is equal to the following formula, rounded up:
(100 × (Mastery Rank - 8)) + (22.5 × 2Mod Rank) + (200 × Rerolls).- For example, the base value for an unranked, unrolled mod with a Mastery Rank requirement of 13 would be: (100 × (13 − 8)) + (22.5 × 2^0) + (200 × 0) = 522.5, rounded up to 523.
- Since Hotfix 23.8.2 (2018-09-19), trading Rivens only requires that the minimum mastery rank for Rivens be met, which is 8.
- As of Update 24.8 (2019-04-24) veiled Arch-gun Rivens can be purchased from Arbitrations Honors for 35 Vitus Essence.
- Arch-gun Rivens can be equipped and unveiled with Atmospheric Arch-guns.
Trivia[]
- Riven mods feature a dynamic image, which constantly shifts between the images of the bonuses. For example, a Riven Rifle mod that affects Critical chance and Critical damage (positively or negatively) will shift between Point Strike's image and Vital Sense's image.
- Interestingly, Riven mods that affect Status Chance use the images of Thunderclap, Crowd Control, Stopping Power, or Staggering Force, as opposed to Rifle Aptitude, Shotgun Savvy, Sure Shot, or Melee Prowess.
- Riven mods for Kitguns will use images of Secondary mods even when equipped on Primary Kitguns.
- Interestingly, Riven mods that affect Status Chance use the images of Thunderclap, Crowd Control, Stopping Power, or Staggering Force, as opposed to
- Riven is the past participle of the Middle English verb Rive, which means "to violently tear apart". It also is a play of words on the word Revin, which mean the gift of god. This could mean that the Riven mods were masterpieces that were damaged.
- Riven mods for Companion weapons were made unobtainable in Update 24.0 (2018-11-08) but were brought back as Cephalon Simaris' offerings in Update 25.7 (2019-08-29) for 100,000 each. This was done to reduce reward pool dilution for Sortie-rewarded Riven Mods.
- Prior to this, in Hotfix 19.10.1 (2017-02-14), Artax Riven mods were made unobtainable from Sorties. Given the short 5-day period between the weapon's introduction and the hotfix and the low chance of getting a specific Riven mod, Rivens for Artax were the rarest ones in circulation.
- Prior to this, in Hotfix 19.10.1 (2017-02-14),
- Taking into account the existence of 24 possible positive effects, the possibility of one negative effect, and that elemental damage and punch through cannot be negative attributes, also the fact that effects don't fall into the same category nor does order matter: there are 5,083 possible Riven mod stat combinations that have two positive effects and one or zero negative effects, and 35,673 possible Riven mod stat combinations that have three positive effects and one or zero negative effects, making a total of 40,756 different combinations for a single Rifle, Shotgun, or Pistol Riven.
- Prior to the removal of Channeling, the following stats used these prefix/core and suffix:
| Effect | Prefix/Core | Suffix |
|---|---|---|
| Channeling Damage | Tori | Bo |
| Channeling Efficiency | Uti | Tia |
Bugs[]
- If you complete the objectives of 2 different Riven Mods in the same mission they can cancel each other and not open at all, but rather reset to the state they were in before the mission started.
- If a Riven mod is unveiled while already being on the weapon it turns out to be for, it will remain on the weapon but not drain any mod points. This also allows weapons to reach negative mod point values.

- Fixed incorrect Riven Dispositions for Panthera Prime and Karyst Prime. They are both at the correct Riven Disposition of 0.5.
Update 28.0 (2020-06-11)
- Riven Disposition Changes:
When we introduced separate Dispositions for each weapon variant back in November 2019, we planned to give new weapons a Disposition of 1 (the “average”), or matching the lowest member of the weapon family if it already had a Disposition lower than 1. Unfortunately, this meant that powerful new weapons (like the Kuva Lich collection) might have Rivens that start too strong, forcing reductions in accordance with our balance methodology.
In order to prevent this situation, we will be changing this policy: going forward, all new weapons will be released with the minimum Riven Disposition of 0.5. For The Deadlock Protocol, this includes the Dispositions on newly added Primary Kitguns, in addition to regular weapons (secondary Kitgun Dispositions will remain as-is.)

Update 26.1 (2019-11-22)
- Doubled the amount of Critical Chance on Melee Rivens and gave the Critical Chance 2x for Heavy Melee.
- Fixed ‘Chance to not gain combo count’ Riven curse not applying at all. This Riven curse has been reworded to ‘% chance to gain Combo Count’ for further clarification.
Hotfix 26.0.8 (2019-11-19)
- Clarified Melee Rivens that have the negative attribute of ‘Chance to not gain combo counter’ by replacing that line with ‘Additional Combo Count Chance’ that is seen on other Mods.
Update 26.0 (2019-10-31)
- All Riven Challenges related to Channeling have been changed to reflect ‘Combo Counter’. For example, Riven Mods can now have a + / - to not gain Combo Points on hit.
- Going forward, weapon dispositions will be tuned per weapon, instead of per weapon family. For instance, this means a Kohm Riven will have a disposition of 1.4 on a regular Kohm, but only a disposition of 1 when applied to a Kuva Kohm. Source
- The Riven Cycle screen now gives you the option to view the Riven stats on every owned variant of said weapon. For example, I can now select either my normal Lex or my Lex Prime to view it’s said Stats. https://gfycat.com/tepidmeatycrow
Update 25.8 (2019-10-01)
- With the addition of this new Prime Access comes the next wave of Riven Disposition changes! Please read our Dev Workshop post for all the changes: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1131603-october-2019-riven-disposition-updates/
- Veiled Sentinel weapon Riven Mods can now be equipped on any Sentinel weapon type instead of a specific type (e.g. shotgun). All Veiled Sentinel Riven Mods are now "Companion Weapon Riven Mod".
Hotfix 25.7.7 (2019-09-26)
- Sentinel Rivens will no longer get the ‘with an active pet’ requirement. Existing Rivens with this requirement have been changed to ‘without dying or becoming downed’.
Hotfix 25.7.6 (2019-09-18)
- Fixed chat linked Veiled Rivens not showing the unveiling challenge information.
- Fixed Veiled Companion Weapon Rivens issues when chatlinking.
Hotfix 25.7.2 (2019-08-30)
- Companion Weapon Rivens have been added back to Simaris’ Offerings! This time they will unveil for the proper weapon.
Hotfix 25.7.1 (2019-08-30)
- Temporarily removed Companion Weapon Rivens from Simaris’ Offerings due to being unveiled for the incorrect weapon type. They will be added back once we make a permanent fix.
We’re working on a script to refund the Simaris Standing to those who were able to purchase the Rivens.Script has completed! Please relog if you don't see the refunded Simaris Standing.
Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)
Riven Additions and Changes:
- Your total max Riven Slots is now 120 (up from 90)! Should you wish to purchase more Slots, you may now do so (up to 120)!
- Companion Weapon Rivens are available from Simaris’ Offerings for Standing (The War Within completion required), and yes, this includes the Artax!
- If you recall back in Update 24.0 we removed Sentinel Weapon Rivens from the pool due to being lackluster in comparison to more applicable weapons. Adding Companion Weapon Rivens to Simaris’ Offerings allows players to freely choose these Rivens if they desire, and leaving it out of the general Riven Mod generation pool for those who don’t want them.
- The follow Riven challenges now count towards Sentinel kills:
- Kill X enemies
- Kill X enemies that are on a dropship
- Kill X enemies in a row while wall dashing/clinging without touching the ground
General Changes:
- Changed the Dargyn Bow Riven challenge description to specific that it must be Dargyns in flight, not ones parked on the ground.
Fixes:
- Fixed having a negative capacity if you cycle a Riven Mod then Fuse it with Endo while it is equipped.
Update 25.5 (2019-07-31)
- Added the ability to view a list of items you own that a Riven fits into. This way you can know which stats you want, without having to flip-flop between the Arsenal to check.
- Your chosen UI Theme is now applied to the Riven reroll screen!
- Fixed a functionality loss when attempting to purchase Riven capacity via the Riven Slot purchase pop up prompt.
Hotfix 25.4.3 (2019-07-26)
- Fixed Client's inability to progress the "Find X Syndicate Medallions" Riven requirement.
Hotfix 25.0.4 (2019-05-28)
- Fixed Rivens that are capable of hitting negative Damage via Critical Multiplier resulting in insta-killing enemies that have innate Damage resistance (Amalgam Alkonost). They will now properly take 0 Damage from a negative Critical Multiplier weapon, the same way regular enemies do.
Hotfix 24.5.8.1 (2019-04-02)
- As mentioned in our previous Riven Workshop, the Equinox Prime Access which just released brings with it the first in a series of regular Riven disposition tweaks! A full breakdown of the Riven disposition changes can be found in the Developer Workshop:
