Choosing mods that boost basic stats like health, shields, and damage is a good strategy and will cover you through the first few planets. While you should always be installing mods and upgrading them (which we’ll cover in more detail below), you don’t have to worry about doing high-level customization and min-maxing.
You can find mods as random drops from enemies, get them as awards at the end of missions, or purchased them from faction vendors. If you can equip something, you can mod it - including companions, Archwings, and Warframe accessories like Khora’s Venari. But when players want to make a piece of equipment stronger so they can take on more challenging enemies and levels, they need to upgrade their mods. Every item you can equip has its own set of stats and properties, which is why a Soma rifle will work very differently than a Hek shotgun. In Warframe, players can unlock new Warframes and weapons to use in missions.
