Release Date: October 25th, 2012
Volt has the power to wield and bend electricity. He is highly versatile, armed with powerful abilities that can damage enemies, provide cover and complement the ranged and melee combat of his cell. The electrical nature of his abilities make him highly effective against the Corpus, with their robots in particular. He is one of three starter options for new players.
Acquisition
Volt is one of the three starter Warframes, alongside 
Excalibur and 
Mag, during Awakening.
Volt's blueprints can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.
Volt can also be bought complete from Teshin for 
60,000 once players have achieved Typhoon rank in the Conclave.

Trivia
- The volt is a measure of electrical potential, a type of potential energy that could be released if an electrical current is allowed to flow, hence Volt's electrical essence.
- During closed beta, Overload was notoriously overpowered as a result of a bug that would allow the lightning to daisy-chain throughout a level, killing any enemy that had spawned.
- Before Update 7 Volt was one of the 3 initial starter Frames. He was replaced by
Mag due to a desire of the developers to have a female starter. Volt then replaced Loki as a starting Warframe in Update 14. - Volt has had three drop changes since Update 11; prior to Update 11 his components dropped from the J3-Golem on Jupiter. After The Hunt For Alad V, his components were moved to Survival mission rewards, making him the second Warframe obtainable through regular mission rewards (the first was Banshee). Update 12 moved Volt and Banshee to the Tenno Research Labs, and the both of them have remained there since.
- The rings on Volt's arms are considered customizable armor parts and will be removed if any other arm plates are used.
- Volt's default energy color appears as deep orange-yellow on his body, but the color of any electricity he emits is a darker blue/purple.
- The back of Volt's tunic stretches when Volt's legs move apart.
- Volt is the first Warframe to receive 5 Augment Mods, 2 of them being Conclave exclusive.
- Volt's Neuroptics is a requisite ingredient for Chroma.
“Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die.”
Volt Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during gameplay at this time. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.
Release Date: March 24th, 2015
Volt Prime is the Primed variant of 
Volt, possessing higher armor and energy capacity, as well as an additional 
polarity. Volt Prime was released alongside Odonata Prime.

Vaultings
- On February 22nd, 2017, it was announced that Volt Prime, alongside Odonata Prime, would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on February 28th, 2017. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is.
- Baro Ki'Teer would sometimes bring relics containing Volt Prime and Odonata Prime.
- Volt Prime, alongside Odonata Prime, was again available from April 30, 2019 to July 2nd 2019.
Notes
- Volt Prime, compared to Volt:
- As a Prime Warframe, Volt Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
- Volt Prime, along with Saryn Prime, Chroma Prime, Ivara Prime, Baruuk, Yareli and Wisp, possesses the second highest max-rank energy pool of all Warframes in the game after Garuda Prime: 200 at rank 0 and 300 at rank 30.
- This can be increased to 600 with a maxed Flow, 850 with Primed Flow, 880 with Primed Flow and Endurance Drift.
- This can be increased to 600 with a maxed
Trivia
- Unlike the other starter frames ( Excalibur, Mag, and formerly Loki) with their Prime counterparts, he does not possess their white and olive default color scheme. He also does not have the black and olive default scheme of the dark-colored Primes ( Frost, Ember, Rhino) either, instead having his own unique black and yellow scheme.
- His appearance was seen in the PvP mod Relentless Assault before his release.
- When using his Shock ability, Volt Prime summons a lightning bolt to strike an enemy from above, along with releasing a bolt from his hand. This effect, however, does not apply to chained enemies and is purely visual. The aerial lightning strike is also unaffected by energy color and will remain white.

- For every 1 meter traveled, 5 points of Electricity damage are added, accumulating to a maximum of 1000 bonus damage.
- Damage is not affected by Ability Strength.
- Static Discharge does not combine with single elements or elemental mods on weapons, the bonus Electricity damage type remains separate.
- Is not affected by damage mods (e.g. Serration) or elemental mods (e.g. Stormbringer).
- Is affected by Critical Hits and the combo counter of Sniper Rifles.
- Even with Multishot only a single hit will gain the damage bonus.

 ENERGY: 25 KEY 1 |
Shock Launches a shocking projectile. It stuns and deals high damage to a single target and chains damage to nearby enemies. |
Strength:75 / 100 / 125 / 200 ( Electricity damage)
|
| Duration:N/A | |||
| Range:7 / 10 / 12 / 15 m (chain link range) | |||
| Misc:∞ (cast range) 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 (chain links) 100 % ( Electricity status chance)
| |||
| Subsumable to Helminth |
- Volt releases an arc discharge toward the targeted enemy or location on the aiming reticle over unrestricted range, chaining electricity to enemies within 7 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters of each point of contact. The arc can chain a maximum of 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 times and inflicts 75 / 100 / 125 / 200 Electricity damage with a 100% status chance to each enemy.
- Chain link range is affected by Ability Range.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Electricity damage is effective against Machinery and Robotics but less effective against Alloy Armor.
- Electricity status effect chains 50% of Shock's base damage to surrounding enemies in a small area of effect. Shocked enemies will also be briefly stunned.
- Cast range and status chance are not affected by mods.
- Shock's first point of contact can either be a surface or an enemy:
- By aiming the arc at a surface within the vicinity of nearby enemies, Shock can be used to damage enemies without directly aiming at them.
- By aiming the arc directly at an enemy, Shock will have the potential to damage and stun a maximum of 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 enemies per cast.
- Shock can only chain to enemies within the arc's line of sight (e.g., Shock will not phase through obstacles in the environment to reach enemies within range).
- Can be used while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading.
- Ability Synergy:
- Casting Shock through an Electric Shield will electrify it, inflicting 100% of Shock's damage to enemies that pass through it (e.g., Electric Shield will deal 260 damage if Shock's modified damage is 260).
- The bonus damage from Volt's passive will also be stacked onto the damage from Shock (e.g., Electric Shield will deal 760 damage if Shock's modified damage is 260 and the Passive bonus is 500 at the time Shock is cast).
- Casting Shock against a target under Discharge's effect will result in an overcharge, creating an area of effect burst emitted from the target.
- Casting Shock through an
- Subsuming Volt to the Helminth will offer Shock and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
- Main article: Shock Trooper
Shock Trooper is a Warframe Augment Mod for Volt that allows 
Shock to be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional Electricity damage to all attacks.
| Rank | Electricity Damage

Duration | Range | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50% | 28s | 15m | 6 |
| 1 | 65% | 32s | 15m | 7 |
| 2 | 80% | 36s | 15m | 8 |
| 3 | 100% | 40s | 15m | 9 |
- Shock stuns all affected enemies. This is especially useful against heavy units.
- Firing Shock directly at enemies may or may not be useful due to its targeting mechanics. Try instead to fire shock at the surfaces near the enemies (the ground, walls, ceiling, etc).
- Firing Shock at the wall behind a corner will chain damage to nearby enemies around said corner. This can be used to scout for enemies not in your line of sight.
- Deals 50% more damage to machinery and robotics.

 ENERGY: 25 KEY 2 |
Speed Gain a brief boost of movement speed which affects all allies in range. |
Strength:10% / 15% / 25% / 50% (speed buff) 7.5% / 12.5% / 15% / 17.5% (reload speed buff) |
| Duration:5 / 6 / 8 / 10 s | |||
| Range:15 / 20 / 22 / 25 m |
- Volt energizes the surrounding area, increasing the mobility of his allies within 15 / 20 / 22 / 25 meters. Affected players will gain 7.5% / 12.5% / 15% / 17.5% weapon Reload Speed and 10% / 15% / 25% / 50% melee Attack Speed and movement speed bonuses, lasting for 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 seconds.
- Speed buff and Reload buff are affected by Ability Strength.
- The attack speed buff grants an additive bonus that will stack with other attack speed modifiers. (e.g., Fury combined with Speed at max rank and +30% Ability Strength will increase Volt's attack speed by 0.5 × 1.3 + 0.3 = 95%).
- The movement speed buff grants a multiplicative bonus that will stack with other movement speed modifiers. (e.g., Rush combined with Speed at max rank and +30% Ability Strength from Intensify will increase Volt's sprint speed by (1 × 1.3) × (1 + ( 0.5 × 1.3)) − 1 = 114.5%).
- The reload speed buff grants an additive bonus that will stack with other reload speed modifiers. (e.g., Quickdraw combined with Speed at max rank and +30% Ability Strength from Intensify will increase Volt's reload speed by 0.175 × 1.3 + 0.48 = 70.75%).
- Speed does not affect casting speed, knockdown recovery speed, or holster speed.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Radius is affected by Ability Range.
- The effects of Speed are applied to Volt and Tenno.
- Allies only need to be in range when Speed is cast to be affected.
- Allies can backflip to remove Speed if they wish to opt-out.
- Increases the distance of combat maneuvers like the sliding front flip and wall run as a result of the faster sprint speed.
- Can be used while performing many actions without interrupting them, including reloading.
- Can be recast while active to refresh duration.
- Main article: Shocking Speed
Shocking Speed is a Warframe Augment Mod for Volt's 
Speed that causes him and his allies to inflict Electricity damage and status to enemies they touch while moving.
| Rank | Electricity Damage

Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 75 | 6 |

| 2 | 125 | 8 |
| 3 | 175 | 9 |
- Great for catching up with teammates that need to be revived, fleeing from tough enemies, or taking the lead.
- Excellent skill to use for a cell looking to get through a mission quickly.
- Can be combined with Rush for unrivaled speeds.
- Combine with Fury and Berserker Fury for absurd attack speed on melee weapons.
- Can be used to avoid enemy fire due to reduced enemy accuracy and to dodge almost all Corpus due to their weapons' projectile travel time.
- Can reduce recharge delay for Cycron or a Kitgun equipped with Pax Charge, however, it does not affect recharge rate.
- Using Speed before switching to Archwing mode significantly boost Archwing's flight speed

 ENERGY: 50 KEY 3 |
Electric Shield Volt deploys an obstacle of energy, providing cover in any situation. Meters per Energy Drained: 4 m |
Strength:N/A |
| Duration:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 s | |||
| Range:N/A | |||
| Misc:50% (damage bonus) 200% (critical damage bonus) 6 m x 4.25 m (static shield) 2 m x 3 m (current shield) 6 (shields limit) |
- Volt creates an electrical energy barrier 4.25 meters high and 6 meters wide that absorbs enemy fire, lasting for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. Shots fired through the shield made by Volt and his allies gain 50% Electricity damage and 200% critical multiplier.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Height and width of the shield as well as the damage bonus are not affected by mods.
- The Electricity damage bonus is an additive bonus that's applied to the weapon's base damage, similar to an elemental mod. For an unmodified weapon that inflicts 100 base damage, firing through a shield will increase the total damage to 100 × (1 + 0.5) = 150. The weapon now inflicts 100 base damage and 50 Electricity damage.
- Firing through multiple Shields will cause the Electricity damage bonus to stack additively (e.g., firing through 3 shields will grant a 150% Electricity damage bonus). The critical multiplier bonus on the other hand does not stack with additional shields.
- The Electricity damage bonus does not combine with other elemental types to create secondary elements; the weapon will separately proc the elements present on it and Electricity from Electric Shield.
- Warframe abilities do not gain bonuses from being fired through the shield, with the exception of Ember's Fireball, Frost's Freeze, Oberon's Smite, and Vauban's Flechette Orb.
- The critical multiplier is multiplied after weapon mods, meaning it will take your modded critical damage and double it.
- Volt has the ability to pickup one of his Static Shields through a context action. Doing so will cause the shield to decrease in size to 2.0 m × 3.0 m and become mobile. Activating the context action again will revert the Current Shield back into a Static Shield.
- The position and movement of the Current Shield will be fixed to the target reticle, meaning the Shield will move with the camera while being within 1.5 meters of Volt.
- When the Current Shield is equipped Volt will be limited to the use of only his secondary and melee weapons and will have his speed and mobility reduced.
- Enemies hit by the Current Shield while Volt is sprinting will be ragdolled.
- Volt will be drained 1 energy for every 4 meters he travels with the Current Shield equipped.
- Distance Per Energy is affected by Ability Efficiency through the equation DPE = 4 ÷ (2 − (1 + Efficiency Mods)).
- Only one shield can be equipped at a time.
- A maximum of 6 separate Electric Shields can be cast at any given time. Casting Electric Shields after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest shield.
- Electric Shield affects certain weapons differently:
- All primary and secondary weapons will gain Electricity damage and amplified critical damage.
- Thrown melee weapons, such as the Glaive, are not affected by Electric Shield.
- Weapons that have additional sources of damage, such as the Quanta, will have their additional sources affected by Electric Shield so long as the damage can be modified. For example, firing a Torid grenade through a Shield will affect the projectile damage and the area damage. Firing a Mutalist Quanta orb through a Shield will not affect the orb's contact damage, but it will affect the orb's explosion damage.
- Held-trigger weapons will gain hitscan properties.
- All primary and secondary weapons will gain
- While most hostile gunfire and AoE damage are blocked by Electric Shield, weapons with innate punch through, such as a Scorch's Ignis, can bypass Electric Shield.
- Prevents self-stagger from AoE weapons if the player shoots behind the shield.
- Ability Synergy: Casting Shock through an Electric Shield will electrify it, inflicting 100% of Shock's damage to enemies that pass through it (e.g., Electric Shield will deal 260 damage if Shock's modified damage is 260).
- The bonus damage from Volt's passive will also be stacked onto the damage from Shock (e.g., Electric Shield will deal 810 damage if Shock's modified damage is 260 and the Passive bonus is 550 at the time Shock is cast).
- Main article: Transistor Shield
Transistor Shield is a Warframe Augment Mod for Volt's 
Electric Shield that allows allies to pick up and move Electric Shields, with no energy cost for moving them. Additionally, a percentage of enemy damage absorbed by the Electric Shield(s) will add up to Volt's Static Discharge passive.
| Rank | Damage Absorbed | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 150% | 6 |
| 1 | 200% | 7 |
| 2 | 250% | 8 |
| 3 | 300% | 9 |
- Main article: Recharge Barrier
Recharge Barrier is a PvE and Conclave Warframe Augment Mod for Volt's Electric Shield that restores allies' shields when they pass through the barrier.
| Rank | % max shields restored | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 20% | 6 |
| 1 | 25% | 7 |
| 2 | 30% | 8 |
| 3 | 35% | 9 |
- Multiple instances of the Electric Shield can provide a 360o wall of protection, or can be used once if backing up into a tight space, blocking enemy fire from all angles.
- Note that Electric Shield does not protect its users from above and below attacks. Placing them above and below the player can be done to counter this.
- As Electric Shield doesn't buff Warframes directly but instead the weapons fired through it, it's one of the only ways to increase Operator damage output. This is particularly useful for Eidolon hunts.
Penta does not gain any damage bonuses.
Ignis, 
Embolist and 
Opticor lose their AoE properties.

 ENERGY: 100 KEY 4 |
Discharge Paralyze nearby hostiles with a damaging electric charge, this also shocks approaching enemies. |
Strength:500 / 750 / 1000 / 1200 ( Electricity damage/second)
|
| Duration:3 / 4 / 5 / 6 s (stun duration) | |||
| Range:12 / 15 / 18 / 20 m (electric pulse range) 4 / 4 / 6 / 8 m (electric arc radius) | |||
| Misc:3 / 3 / 4 / 4 s (electric pulse duration) 4.5 s (damage delay) |
- Volt emits a powerful electric pulse over 12 / 15 / 18 / 20 meters, any enemies that are hit with the initial pulse or that enter the pulse's area in first 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 seconds after the cast will become stunned for the entire 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 second stun duration and emit arcs of electricity like Electricity procs, shocking hostiles who come within 4 / 4 / 6 / 8 meters.
- Stun duration is affected by Ability Duration, but the 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 second electric pulse duration and 4.5 second damage delay are not.
- Electric arcs are not obstructed by the environment.
- Electric arcs deal 250 / 375 / 500 / 600 Electricity damage per tick to each other hostile within 4 / 4 / 6 / 8 meters of the affected target. Electricity damage ticks twice every second.
- There is no delay of 4.5 seconds and affected targets will not deal self-damage.
- Affected targets that are not in range of other hostiles will begin to damage themselves after the first 4.5 seconds of Discharge for 250 / 375 / 500 / 600 Electricity damage per tick for the remaining 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 second stun duration. Electricity damage ticks twice every second.
- If affected targets die but one is left alive, it will begin to damage itself after another 4.5 seconds.
- If total stun duration or remaining duration is shorter than 4.5 seconds, affected target will take no damage.
- Discharge damage, electric arc damage, and stun duration all have falloff over the 12 / 15 / 18 / 20m range.
- Discharge damage and electric arc damage are affected by Ability Strength.
- Discharge range and electric arc radius are affected by Ability Range.
- At the casting point Discharge damage, electric arc damage, and stun duration remain at 100%, linearly decreasing until all reach 50% of their respective values at the maximum range from the cast point.
- Electric arc damage does not falloff over the electric arc radius from individual enemies, only over the Discharge range.
- Loot crates can also undergo the Tesla effect, but can only be charged once.
- Volt's passive does affect Discharge, but the bonus damage is not simply added onto the ability's total damage output. Instead, the current bonus damage value is divided by the damage per tick value, rounded down to the nearest whole number, then multiplied by 0.5 seconds. This new value is then subtracted from the 4.5 second damage delay phase of Discharge, meaning Discharge will begin damaging the target sooner.
- For example, a rank 3 Discharge with a max rank Intensify and 1,000 bonus damage from Volt's passive will deal:
- This bonus will be applied only to the first enemy/object Discharge's propagation hits, meaning any other targets hit by Discharge will follow the normal damage calculation without Static Discharge's effects.
- For example, a rank 3 Discharge with a max rank
- Stun duration is affected by Ability Duration, but the 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 second electric pulse duration and 4.5 second damage delay are not.
- Ability Synergy: Casting Shock against a target under Discharge's effect will result in an overcharge, creating an area of effect burst emitted from the target.
- Can be used while sliding, wall clinging, and in mid-air (e.g. jumping or executing a front flip).
- Has a cast time of ~1 second, during which Volt is vulnerable to damage and energy drains, but immune to knockdowns and stuns.
- Cannot be recast within the first 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 seconds of a previous cast, and recasting after said duration will not refresh or stack the effect on already affected enemies.
- Main article: Capacitance
Capacitance is a Warframe Augment Mod for Volt that converts a percentage of damage dealt by 
Discharge into shields, split between himself and allies.
| Rank | Shield Bonus | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1.5% | 6 |
| 1 | 2% | 7 |
| 2 | 2.5% | 8 |
| 3 | 3% | 9 |
- Casting Discharge when targets are in a close proximity to one another and/or to yourself will ensure that enemies take more damage during the Effect Duration.

Hotfix 31.5.6 (2022-05-04)
- Fixed script error related to Volt’s Shock ability.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- VOIDSHELL SKINS
The Void Jump transmogrified lifeforms and materials alike. In the Void’s clutches, even threads were imbued with adaptive properties. Suddenly, Zariman uniforms seemed to change from cloth, to stone, to metal, to liquid and back again as if of their own free will. The colonists realized materials had manifested new chemical structures, and a character you have yet to meet soon learned to control the transformations. Voidshell imbues cosmetics with the morphic material created in the Void Jump.
Introducing a brand new customization system that allows you to change the Material Structures on Voidshell Skins. There are Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Accent slots that can be swapped to materials of your choosing. They can also be color customized for the ultimate tailored look!
In this update, we are debuting the first round of Voidshell Skins featuring Saryn, Volt, and Rhino! Each of these following skins are available in the in-game Market and come with their own Material Structure:
- Volt Voidshell Collection
Adorn Volt in the morphic material created during the Zariman Void Jump. This collection includes the Volt Voidshell Skin and Crimzian Opulence, a material structure for exclusive use on Voidshell skins.
- Changes:
- We have updated certain Warframe abilities to now affect allied NPCs! In the past, these abilities used to work to varying degrees of effectiveness, we now fixed some lingering issues with each of the abilities and they should be far more effective at assisting these allies in mission.
- Changed the following Warframe Abilities to work on friendly NPCSs (Kavor Defectors, Cetus & Orb Vallis Drones, Specters, Companions, & Rescue Targets):

Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)
- Fixed the Tenet Envoy's guided rockets being unable to pass through Volt's Shield.
Hotfix 30.5.5 (2021-07-29)

Hotfix 27.3.14 (2020-04-15)
- Fixed a script error when casting Volt’s Discharge ability right when another player was joining-in-progress.
Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
- Armor Change:
- Volt: 15 to 100
- Volt Prime: 100 to 125
- Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability. Compounded with Shield Gating and the numerous other changes covered, we expect a much more fair feeling playing field for all Warframes.
