This gets easier as you play the game, however, since your Mastery Rank (the overall level of your profile in Warframe) overrides all items’ minimum mod capacity. Items level up as you use them, increasing their mod capacity over time, until you reach the maximum of 30. An items’ starting mod capacity is relatively small, however, and only allows you to equip one or two basic mods at first.
You can then double this with an Orokin Reactor (an item used to buff Warframes) or an Orokin Catalyst (an item used to buff weapons).
Every item starts with a minimum mod capacity that eventually maxes out at 30 as you level it up. This limits the number and strength of the mods you equip. That said, there is a delicate balancing act between maximizing the benefits of mods while remaining under the item’s mod capacity.
You’ll find that they function the same across both weapons and Warframes. Now that we’ve run down the different types of mods in Warframe, we’re going to take a look at the process of actually equipping them.
