Acquisition

• This mod can be acquired as a random end-of-mission reward for a successful Tier 1 Spy mission with all 3 Data Vaults hacked.
• Drop Locations:

Target	Planet	Name	Type	Level	Tile Set
	Mercury	Suisei	Spy	8 - 10	Grineer Galleon
	Venus	Unda	Spy	4 - 6	Corpus Outpost
	Earth	Cambria	Spy	2 - 4	Grineer Forest
	Mars	Arval	Spy	9 - 11	Grineer Settlement
	Phobos	Shklovsky	Spy	11 - 13	Corpus Ship

• Originally this mod was acquired by scoring at least 17 points in a single Breeding Grounds node run.
• This mod is also available from Baro Ki'Teer for ‍ 150,000 Credits 150,000 + ​‍300 Ducats 300 in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay. Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this mod may not be available on a succeeding appearance.

Notes

• Volcanic Edge is additive with similar mods. For example, a  Galatine with a max rank Volcanic Edge and  Melee Prowess will have a 20% × (1 + 60% + 90%) = 50% status chance.
• Can be stacked with  Melee Prowess,  Vicious Frost,  Voltaic Strike,  Virulent Scourge, and  Drifting Contact for a 370% increase in Status Chance. On weapons with at least 22% base Status Chance, this allows them to achieve a total Status Chance value of 100%, allowing every strike to deal Status Effect procs.
  •  Weeping Wounds can further increase the Status Chance depending on the Melee Combo Counter

Trivia

• Unlike the previous Cicero and Tethra mod sets that depict Warframes already available at the time of the event, the cards from Operation Breeding Grounds depicted  Mirage, a Warframe that at the time was yet to be revealed or released.
• All of the dual-stat event mods for melee weapons have names starting with the letter V.
