1999, what they do, and how to get them – Destructoid
Warframe: 1999 is here, and with it has come tons of content. Part of all that new stuff is new mods, 15 to be exact. These mods run the gamut from adding magnetic damage to increasing weak point critical chance and more. But what exactly do these mods do, and how do you get them?
Mods aren’t the only addition in 1999, there are new arcanes to look at, a new Warframe, and some interesting reworks of Nyx and Trinity, too. But if you’re ready to jump into the building scene and take some new mods out for a spin, here are all the new 1999 mods and where to get them.
Every mod added in Warframe’s 1999 update
In total, there are 15 new mods added with Warframe: 1999. There are aura mods, pistol mods, rifle mods, shotgun mods, a melee mod, an archgun mod, an archmelee mod, and even beast claw mods. They do a variety of things, but a lot of these mods work similarly to each other.
There’s a focus on mods that add magnetic damage (much like the radiation mods already in the game) as well as mods that affect weak points and mesh well with Warframe’s new frame, Cyte-09, that was added in the 1999 update. Check out the full list of added mods with descriptions:
