What it is
The Arsenal is where a list of mods becomes a Warframe you can actually play.
Why you care
Every build in this codex is useless until the cards are in the slots.
- 1Walk to the ArsenalIt is the glowing Warframe in the centre of your Orbiter. You can also press Esc → Equipment → Arsenal.
- 2Select the frameHover the Warframe you are building. Open the Upgrade / Mods screen (the grid of cards).
- 3Aura goes on topThe diamond at the top-left is the Aura. Drag Corrosive Projection or Growing Power there. Auras give Capacity, they do not spend it.
- 4Fill the eight slotsDrag each mod from this guide into an empty slot. If a slot shows a symbol that matches the mod, even better — it will cost half Capacity.
- 5Exilus is the extra circleThe small extra slot needs an Exilus Adapter installed first (Upgrade → Actions). Power Drift, Preparation, Cunning Drift, Primed Sure Footed live here.
- 6Arcanes sit underneathTwo hexagonal slots under the mods. Click them, pick the arcane. Rank 0 still works; rank 5 is the real version.
- 7Save a configTop of the screen: Config A / B / C. Rename it (Starter, Overguard, Persistence). You can keep three loadouts on one frame without swapping mods every time.
If mods are red and you cannot install them, you are out of Capacity. Rank the frame toward 30, install an Orokin Reactor, or leave some mods unranked.
