Riven Mods are special mods for primary weapons, secondary weapons, melee weapons, archguns, and sentinel weapons.
Riven Mods are completely unique; no two are the same, even if they have the same attributes, as their numbers will differ.
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 attributes rerolled with the use of Kuva.
- Are assigned to a single weapon per Riven mod, likened 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 120 slots (total cost for all 120 is 2,100). 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. Additional Riven mods can be acquired from:
- Tactical Alerts
- Gift from the Lotus Alerts
- Archgun Rivens from Arbitration Honors
- Companion Weapon Rivens from Cephalon Simaris
- 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% |
Riven Mods can also be acquired by collecting Riven Slivers, which can be obtained as rewards from opening Requiem Relics. Once enough Slivers are collected, players can then visit Palladino on Iron Wake, where she can then transmute the Slivers into a complete Riven Mod. Each mod requires 10 Riven Slivers to create.
Challenges
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.
- Must be equipped on a weapon of the same class:
Furthermore:
- The weapon used to complete a challenge is entirely irrelevant to the resulting Riven.
- It is possible to complete the challenges using any weapon or Warframe ability, regardless of which the Riven was equipped on.
- If its conditions are met, the Riven will be revealed independently of mission success.
- Completing the challenges also gives affinity.

Attributes
Rivens are distinct from regular mods in that they are inconsistent in polarity, Mastery Rank requirement, 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 curse and vice-versa (e.g. Soma Sati-critatis with a curse that reduces status duration).
Riven mods draw their names from a size pool of 30, 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".
The 30 positive attributes are:
Effect | Prefix/Core | Suffix |
---|---|---|
Additional Combo Count Chance* | Laci | Nus |
Ammo Maximum | Ampi | Bin |
Damage vs. Corpus | Manti | Tron |
Damage vs. Grineer | Argi | Con |

*Melee exclusive attributes.
Some of the above attributes can't be generated as negative:
- Punchthrough
- Elemental damage (Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., etc.)
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:
- Script error: The function "Dis" does not exist. (1.31-1.55): Strong: Assigned to the least frequently-used weapons. Rivens with this disposition provide the greatest attributes.
- Script error: The function "Dis" does not exist. (1.11-1.3): This Disposition is assigned to less popular weapons, Riven mods provide above-average attributes.
- Script error: The function "Dis" does not exist. (0.9-1.1): Neutral: Weapons that see average usage within the player base, resulting in average attributes.
- Script error: The function "Dis" does not exist. (0.7-0.89): Slightly more popular weapons, these will yield a below-average attributes.
- Script error: The function "Dis" does not exist. (0.5-0.69): Faint: Assigned to the most frequently-used weapons, Rivens with this disposition provide the most restrained attributes.
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 1.1. However, Boltor has a different disposition at 1.2.
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 by Disposition:
While not listed in the above table, all Zaw Strikes have a disposition of 1. The Gaze Kitgun Chamber has a disposition of 0.9. The other Chambers' dispositions are: Catchmoon (0.5), Tombfinger (0.65), and Rattleguts (0.7), all have dispositions below neutral.
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:
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, consumes 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.
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 Sentinel 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 weapon is determined upon unveiling, not on drop. Therefore, a Riven mod can be obtained, saved, and unveil a weapon that did not exist when the Riven mod itself was created.[citation needed]
- 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.
- Riven mods for Zaws and Kitguns are determined by the Strike and the Chamber, respectively.
- 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 to the left of the Riven mod will interact with the last element listed as opposed to the first element listed.
- Placing an elemental damage mod to the right of said Riven mod instead will not affect the Riven mod's combined damage for this reason.
- For example, if a Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage mod is placed to the left of a Riven mod that grants Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage (and thus, Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage), it will create Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage as opposed to Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage. Putting said Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage mod to the right of the Riven mod will keep the Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage intact.
- Currently, the lowest Mastery Rank requirement to equip 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 is the past participle of the Middle English verb Rive, which means "to violently tear apart".
- Riven mods for Companion weapons were made unobtainable in Update 24.0 (2018-11-08) but was brought back as Cephalon Simaris' offerings in Update 25.7 (2019-08-29) for 100,000 each.
- Prior to this, in Hotfix 19.10.1 (2017-02-14), Artax Riven mods are 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 are the rarest ones in circulation.
- In Update 24.0 (2018-11-08), all Sentinel weapons were removed from the Riven mod generation pool. Existing Rivens remain and may be unveiled, but new Sentinel weapon Rivens can no longer be obtained.
- 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.
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.

- Riven Disposition Changes
Christmas has come early! Initially these changes were planned for the release of Ivara Prime, but it has snuck into Empyrean so we’re rolling with it! For those that missed our previous Riven Workshop, this is our first time balancing Dispositions per weapon instead of per weapon family, as this functionality was added with The Old Blood update.

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:
Hotfix 24.5.5 (2019-03-25)
- Removed all wildlife killing Riven Mod Challenges. All existing Rivens with wildlife killing Challenges will be retroactively updated with a new Challenge. This change is in preparation for the upcoming Plains Conservation!
Hotfix 24.2.6 (2018-12-20)
- Updated Riven Mods to have proper names for Zaw and Kitguns, instead of using Melee and Pistol in names.
Update 24.0 (2018-11-08)
- Many non-melee riven dispositions were shifted up to +/- one pip.
- Sentinel weapons were removed from the generation pool. Existing mods remain, but no new sentinel rivens will be generated.
- Kitgun Riven Mods introduced.
Hotfix 23.8.2 (2018-09-19)
- A Mastery Rank of 8+ is now required to trade Rivens. This echoes the minimum possible Mastery Rank requirement of Rivens overall as well as generally follows our trading rules with restricted gear.
Update 22.16 (2018-03-15)
