AcquisitionEdit
- 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 | Name | Planet | Type | Level | Tile Set |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arval | Mars | Spy | 9 - 11 | Grineer Settlement |
|
| Cambria | Earth | Spy | 2 - 4 | Grineer Forest |
| Shklovsky | Phobos | Spy | 11 - 13 | Corpus Ship |
|
| Suisei | Mercury | Spy | 8 - 10 | Grineer Galleon |
|
| Unda | Venus | Spy | 4 - 6 | Corpus Outpost |
- 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 + 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.
NotesEdit
- 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, Enduring Strike, and Drifting Contact for a 355% increase in Status Chance while Channeling. 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
TriviaEdit
- 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.
