Warframe Damage 2.0 Reference Guide

The Ultimate Reference to the damage in Warframe! Includes elemental conversions for weapon modding purposes, descriptions of weapon attributes and what mods affect them, damage recommendations for each Faction plus a break down of every enemy/boss health, armor, shield values, abilities, lore and more…

Intro / Announcements / News

Update!

Added new section about the mechanics and attributes of Weapon Damage (figured since DE updated the attribute window, I should add a quick reference to what all those numbers and stats actually do). Also verified that damage info numbers are still accurate for all damage types, and tweeked the elemental damage section descriptions.

NEVER FORGET:

• Strata Relay – Earth
• Kuiper Relay – Eris
• Leonov Relay – Europa
• Vesper Relay – Venus
• R.I.P.

Damage Mechanics and Weapon Attributes Pt.1

Most attributes are displayed in a window when viewing a weapon, but not everything you can mod for is shown. It’s worth noting that the Attribute Window displays the current stats a single bullet or projectile will have when fired from a weapon, and does not indicate how many bullets or projectiles will be fired, so in the case of weapons that fires several bullets at once the attribute window displays the damage and attributes of each individual bullet or projectile and not the total amount of all bullets fired (except when using Multishot mods, see below).

Accuracy and Spread: +Accuracy and +Spread mods

• Affects chance to hit where aimed, and width of the “cluster” of bullets fired in a single shot
• Spread not represented in attribute window, but affected by both Accuracy and Spread mods
• Increasing Accuracy will reduce Spread, making the “cluster” smaller for concentrated shots
• Reducing Accuracy increases Spread, making the “cluster” wider to hit more targets at once

Crit Chance and Crit Damage: +Critical Chance mods, +Crit Damage mods

• Chance of dealing increased damage, based on Crit Damage multiplier
• Crit Chance above 100% will always Crit and can “super crit,” adding the Crit Damage multiplier -1.0x at every additional 100% Crit Chance
• i.e. If weapon has 3.0x Crit Damage Multiplier, at 150% Crit Chance it will always Crit for 3.0x Damage with a 50% chance to deal 5.0x Critical Damage instead, and at 250% Crit Chance it will always Crit for 5.0x Crit Damage with a 50% chance to deal 7.0x Crit Damage instead
• Critical hits are colored yellow below or at 100%, Crits above 100% are colored orange (101-200%) or red (201%+)

Fire Rate and Charge Rate: +Fire Rate mods

• Affects number of bullets or projectiles fired per second, and wind up time of spool weapons
• Affects seconds needed to charge weapons with a Charge Trigger type
• Bow weapons have a passive 2x multiplier for this attribute

Flight Speed and Falloff Damage: +Flight Speed mods

• Affects flight speed of projectiles from non Hitscan weapons
• Increases range in meters before Falloff Damage reduction occurs on Shotgun type weapons
• Falloff damage is the distance a shot can travel before it begins to loose damage, damage reduction begins at first distance shown in attribute window and ends at second distance
• Each weapon has its own Falloff Damage value, but can be between 20-80% total damage lost at max range
• Flight Speed not represented in attribute window, but Falloff Damage is when applicable

Max Ammo and Magazine Capacity: +Magazine Capacity mods, +Ammo Maximum mods

• Every gun has a maximum amount of ammunition you can carry for it, and it not represented in the attribute window
• Magazine Capacity is represented in the attribute window, and is how many shots you can fire before reloading
• Adding +Magazine Capacity mods does not increase Max Ammo
• Increase Max Ammo by equipping +Ammo Maximum mods or using Ammo Mutation mods

Multishot: +Multishot mods

• Chance weapon will fire an additional shot, or twice as many projectiles for weapons that already fire multiple bullets or projectiles per shot
• Multishot procs are free and do not use ammunition or consume bullets in your magazine
• Not directly represented in the attribute window, and is incorrectly represented (in my opinion) when +Multishot mods are equipped by increasing the damage and status chance in the attribute window

Noise Level: -Gunfire/Noise Level mods

• How much noise your weapon makes when firing, ranging from Alarming to Silent
• All melee weapons already have 100% Noise Reduction
• Only maxed rank mods that reduce gunfire noise actually affect the weapon, 100% reduction is needed or its still Alarming
• Even at 100% Noise Reduction, enemies killed make a sound that can be heard by enemies within ~5 meters

Punch Through: +Punch Through mods

• Maximum thickness in meters a bullet or projectile can pass through before being stopped, and does not refer to the distance the shot travels
• Shots that successfully punch through something lose some punch through value based on the thickness in meters of what it passed through
• Shots fired will continue until it hits something with a high enough value of thickness to stop it, or hits an impenetrable part of the level
• Certain objects and enemy body parts have higher values of thickness than others, i.e. the thickness of a rail or an enemy’s head can be shot through with low amounts of punch through, while blast doors or an enemy’s torso will be much thicker and require a higher punch through value to penetrate
• Works better on Hitscan weapons as Projectile weapons will still punch through a target, but will veer off and loose projectile speed

Recoil: -Weapon Recoil mods

• The amount the aiming reticle moved up from the kick back of your weapon when fired
• Not represented in weapon attribute window
• Some weapon’s recoil increases when using +Fire Rate mods

Reload: -Reload Speed mods

• Seconds spent reloading a weapon
• Players are still able to use “one-handed” Warframe abilities while reloading.

Status Chance and Status Duration: +Status Chance mods, +Status Duration mods

• Chance to inflict a single status effect from one of the damage types on the weapon
• Only one Status effect can proc at a time, when multiple damage types are present, the damage type with the highest amount of damage will occur more often
• i.e If a weapon has 160 Impact, 30 Puncture, and 10 Slash, when the weapon procs it will proc the Impact effect 80% of the time, the Puncture effect 15% of the time, or the Slash effect 5% of the time
• Most Status effects have a set duration, Status Duration mods affects a proc’s initial duration, and is not represented in the attribute window
• The status effects not altered by +Status Duration mods include Impact, Blast, and Corrosive damage

Zoom: +Zoom mods

• Aiming decreases a player’s field of view, increasing accuracy and reducing spread
• +Zoom mods further increase the effect of weapons with scopes as a secondary mechanic
• Equipping a Sentinel with a +Zoom mod increases the range at which the Sentinel can shoot enemies

Damage Mechanics and Weapon Attributes Pt.2 – Melee

These attributes and skills are found on Melee weapons specifically.

Attack Speed: +Attack Speed mods

• Speed at which it takes a melee weapon to perform its attack animation, 1.0 being the default speed
• Also reduces the time it takes to perform a melee Charged Attack
• Different weapon types perform attack animations in different amounts of time, i.e. it takes longer to swing a two-handed weapon than it does a one-handed weapon, even when both have 1.0 Attack Speed

Channeling Cost and Channeling Damage: +Channeling Efficiency mods, +Channeling Dmg mods

• Energy drained from Warframe for every enemy hit on a successful melee hit
• Channeling efficiency caps out at 80% Channeling Efficiency, and is not affected by +Ability Efficiency Warframe mods
• Channeling melee hits deal 50% increased damage, further increased with +Channeling Dmg mods

Charged Attack: +Damage mods, +Attack Speed mods

• Not represented in the attribute window
• Holding down melee button allows the players to deal a charged melee attack, dealing up to 3x increased weapon damage when fully charged
• +Attack Speed mods reduce cast time of Charged Attacks

Slam Attack, Slide Attack, and Wall Attack: +Damage mods

• These attacks shown in the attribute window have no baseline damage increase, but receive the benefits of any +Damage or +Elemental Mods
• Some weapon’s Slam Attacks, Slide Attacks, or Wall Attacks may have unique features, like an elemental damaging AoE during Slam Attacks

Finishing Attacks: +Finisher Damage

• Damage used when dealing an up-close “finishing blow” to a knocked downed or vulnerable enemy
• This damage is not shown in the attribute window, and is not affected by any weakness or resistances
• Finishing Attacks have a custom animation and deal different amounts of damage depending on what type of melee weapon you are using
• Daggers, Dual Daggers, Polearms, and Staves deal 1200% Weapon Damage, Hammers deal 2400% Weapon Damage, all other melee weapons deal 1600% Weapon Damage when performing Finishing Attacks

Stealth Damage and Melee Stealth Attack:

• Any attack made against unalerted enemies receive an 8x Stealth Damage Multiplier
• Achieved using Stealth abilities or by “being sneaky” and not being seen or making any noise that can alert your enemies as you attack them
• Some enemies can be attacked with an up-close Melee Stealth Attack, similar to a Finishing Attack, which has a custom animation and receives an additional damage multiplier on top of the 8x Stealth Multiplier, based on what melee weapon you are using
• Daggers, Dual Daggers, Polearms, and Staves add 3x Weapon Damage, Hammers add 6x Weapon Damage, all other melee weapons add 4x Weapon Damage on Melee Stealth Attacks

Damage Types and Procs

Since the Damage 2.0 update there are 3 types of physical damage, 4 types of pure elemental damage, and 6 types of combined elemental damage. In addition, each damage type now have a chance to proc a status effect, similar to how critical strikes work, and are not a guaranteed proc like before.

Physical Damage is made up of a combination of 3 types of damage: Impact, Puncture, and Slash damage. It’s worth noting that when multiple damage types are present, all types of damage have a chance to proc, with the highest base damage occurring more often. (i.e. if a weapon has 160 Impact, 30 Puncture, and 10 Slash, when the weapon procs it will proc the Impact effect 80% of the time, the Puncture effect 15% of the time, or the Slash effect 5% of the time.)

• Impact Damage has a chance to Knockback, interrupting the target’s action and causing them to stumble a bit before resuming their attack.
• Puncture Damage has a chance to Weaken, causing the target to deal ~30% less damage for 6 seconds. Affected units will be highlighted in yellow with yellow bubbles floating near them.
• Slash Damage has a chance to Bleed, applying a DoT dealing ~33% of your weapons Base damage (not Slash damage) 7 times over 6 seconds. DoT damage bypasses shields and armor resistances and can be stacked up multiple times when reapplied to the target, with each application of the DoT having its own timer. Affected units spray blood every time the DoT ticks.*

Elemental Damage is made up of 4 elements, Heat, Cold, Electric, and Toxin. Your Elemental Damage is determined by adding your Impact+Puncture+Slash damage on your chosen weapon when you install an element mod. (i.e. if your gun has 20 Impact, 20 Puncture, and 20 Slash, and you add a 50% Fire damage mod to your weapon, 30 Fire damage will be added to your weapon)

• Heat Damage has a chance to Burn, applying a DoT dealing ~50% of your weapon’s Base damage plus ~50% of your weapon’s total Fire damage 7 times over 6 seconds, and can ignite shieldless targets, causing them to flail for a few seconds. DoT does not stack and does not bypass shields or armor resistance, but duration is refreshed when reapplied to target which can be handy with preventing shield regeneration.*
• Cold Damage has a chance to Freeze, reducing the target’s movement speed, ranged and melee attack speed by 50% for 6 seconds, and can completely freeze shieldless targets in place for a few seconds. Reducing movement speed also increases the time it takes for enemies to recover from staggered or knocked down effects.
• Electric Damage has a chance to Chain Attack, dealing an additional ~50% of your weapon’s Base damage plus ~50% of your weapon’s Electric damage to the enemy target and all surrounding enemies within ~3 meters, and can stun shieldless enemies hit by the proc for a few seconds.*
• Toxic Damage has a chance to Poison, applying a DoT that deals ~50% of your weapon’s Base damage plus ~50% of your weapon’s Toxic damage 9 times over 8 seconds, and can be stacked up multiple times when reapplied to the target, with each application of the DoT having its own timer. DoT damage bypasses shields but not armor resistances.*

Combined Damage, introduced in Damage 2.0, is the combination of 2 pure elements to create a new element with its own stats proc and set of resistances. When combining elements, the original two elements and their effects/resistances are removed and replaced with the new elements. (i.e. Heat + Cold creates Blast, removing the damage bonus to Shield given by Cold and the damage bonus to Infested given by Heat)

• Blast Damage (Heat+Cold) has a chance to AoE Knockdown, causing the affected target and surrounding enemies within ~5 meters to be thrown from their feet to the ground. Can also proc again on targets already knocked down to prolong their recovery.
• Corrosive Damage (Electric+Toxin) has a chance of Corrosion, permanently reducing affected target’s current armor (not total armor) by 25%. Additional procs will continue to reduce the enemy’s armor by the new current total armor, but enemy armor can never be fully removed (impossible to divide a number to equal 0). When it procs, the enemy will be covered in a green coat for a moment. When players are effected by this, the armor reduction only lasts for the duration of the effect, and is not permanent.
• Radiation Damage (Heat+Electric) has a chance of Confusion, reducing the affected target’s accuracy for 12 seconds and causes the target to attack their allies, and be attacked and damaged by their allies as well. Affected enemy will be covered in blue shimmering coat. When players are effected by this, all damage (including your Sentinals and Kubrows) will effect other players for the duration of the effect.
• Gas Damage (Heat+Toxin) has a chance to AoE Poison, spawning a gas cloud on the affected target that deals ~50% of your weapon’s Base damage plus ~50% of your weapon’s Toxic damage (not Gas damage) to the target and all surrounding enemies within ~3 meters. Additionally, enemies hit by affected target’s gas cloud AoE are also poisoned with a DoT that deals 100% of your weapon’s Toxic damage 9 times over 8 seconds, and can be stacked up multiple times when reapplied to the target, with each application of the DoT having its own timer. DoT damage bypasses shields but not armor resistances.*
• Viral Damage (Cold+Toxin) has a chance to Reduce Max Health reducing the affected target’s current and max health by 50% for 6 seconds, additional procs while active will refresh the reduction to max health. When debuff expires, only the target’s max health (not current) is restored. Affected target’s are coated in yellow.
• Magnetic Damage (Cold+Electric) has a chance to Reduce Max Shields, reducing affected target’s current and max shield by 75% and preventing shield regeneration for 4 seconds, additional procs while active will refresh the debuff. When debuff expires, only the target’s shield regeneration and max shield (not current) are restored. Affected targets are covered in a coat of static. When players are affected by this, their HUD will disappear and energy will be completely drained.

*Base damage refers to the weapon’s total damage and is increased with +Damage mods, and not +Element Damage or +Physical Damage mods

Armor Resistances & Enemy Body Part Multipliers

There are 3 main factions; the Grineer, the Corpus, and the Infested. Each faction’s units have/use different Health/Armor types, although most bosses will have both armoring and a shield. The Orokin Corrupted however, have a mixture of Grineer, Corpus, and Infested Ancient units.

Some units use physical shields that share the same traits as most metal catwalks and cover, allowing weapons with Punch-through to pass right through it.

Grineer infantry units use either Ferrite Armor or Alloy Plate Armor, and have Cloned Flesh, which is different then normal Flesh the Corpus and Wild units have. They also have a couple Machinery units, and a couple of units use Shields, which share the same weakness/resistances as the Corpus Shields.

• Cloned Flesh:
  25%+ Slash, 25%+ Heat, 75%+ Viral; 25%- Impact, 50%- Gas
• Ferrite Armor:
  50%+ Puncture, 25%+ Toxin, 75%+ Corrosive; 25%- Slash, 25%- Blast
• Alloy Plate Armor:
  25%+ Puncture, 25%+ Cold, 75%+ Radiation; 50%- Slash, 50%- Electric, 50%- Magnetic
• Machinery:
  25%+ Impact, 50%+ Electric, 75%+ Blast; 25%- Toxin, 25%- Viral

Corpus Crewman have normal Flesh and unlike the Grineer, use mostly Robotic units and tech to aid them. All Corpus units use Shields, and some can have high invulnerable Proto Shields.

• (Normal) Flesh:
  25%+ Slash, 50%+ Toxin, 50%+ VIral; 25%- Impact, 25%- Gas
• Shields:
  50%+ Impact, 50%+ Cold, 75%+ Magnetic; 25%- Puncture, 25%- Radiation
• Proto Shield:
  25%+ Impact, 25%+ Toxin, 75%+ Magnetic; 50%- Puncture, 50%- Heat, 50%- Corrosive
• Robotics:
  25%+ Puncture, 50%+ Electric, 25%+ Radiation; 25%- Slash, 25%- Toxin

Infested units have three main health types; Infested, Infested Flesh, and Fossilized. The fourth health type, Infested Sinew, is used only by the Infested bosses.

• Infested:
  25%+ Slash, 25%+ Heat, 75%+ Gas; 50%- Radiation, 50%- Viral
• Infested Flesh:
  50%+ Slash, 50%+ Heat, 50%+ Gas; 50%- Cold
• Fossilized:
  25%+ Slash, 50%+ Blast, 75%+ Corrosive; 25%- Cold, 50%- Toxin, 75%- Radiation
• Infested Sinew:
  25%+ Puncture, 25%+ Cold, 50%+ Radiation; 50%- Blast

Armor Values

There are two ways to describe the functionality of armor; as a Damage Reduction or as an Increase in Health. When determining armor as a Damage Reduction, you are finding out the amount of damage that isn’t happening to the target, more armor = less damage, where as when determining armor as a Health Increase, you are adding the amount of damage you are not taking to your total health pool. Both equations amount to the same thing, it’s just two different ways of looking at it.

Armor as a Damage Reduction:

Damage Received = Total Damage Delt ÷ (1 + (Armor ÷ 300)) – Link

Armor as a Increase in Health:

New Total Health = Base Health × (1 + (Armor ÷ 300)) – Link

Enemy Body Part Damage Multipliers

Some parts of the enemy’s body have increased damage multipliers, meaning certain body parts take more damage from all types of damage than other parts of the enemy’s body. Here is a list of Damage Multipliers for those enemy body parts. For humanoid targets try to aim for the head every time, as not only is there a multiplier for basic headshots, there is an additional 2x Damage Multiplier added for Critical Headshots outside the Crit Damage Multiplier bonuses.

• Grineer Marines all take 2x Damage from Headshots.
• Corpus Crewmen and Ospreys all take 2x Damage from Headshots.
• Bursas take 3x Damage from shots that hit the Console on their back.
• Corpus and Mutalist MOAs take 3x Damage from shots that hit the Box on their back, and 0.5x Damage from shots that hit their Gun.
• Infested Chargers take 1x Damage when shot in the Mouth.
• Runners, Leapers, and Crawlers all take 2x Damage from Headshots.
• Ancients take 2x Damage from Headshots, as well as 0.5x Damage from shots In the Back.
• Boilers take 2x Damage from shots that hit their orange Pustules.
• Brood Mothers take 2x Damage from Headshots, and 2x Damage from shots that hit their exposed Chest.

Recommended Damage Quick Reference

The Grineer

• Viral and Puncture for all around good damage
• Corrosive for breaking down high armored enemies, and any Wild enemies you encounter
• Blast for high damage vs. Machine units, and is great for crowd control

The Corpus

• Magnetic and Impact for taking down both types of Shields
• Toxin and Viral for good damage against Crewman after shield drops, Toxin proc also great for bypassing shields
• Electric for good damage against Robotic units after shield drops, Electric proc also great for stunning shieldless Crewman

The Infested

• Slash for good all around damage
• Heat and Gas for good damage against swarms of Runners and Crawlers
• Blast is good damage against Ancients, and is good for crowd control

The Orokin Corrupted

• Cold for taking down Shields and is decent damage vs. Lancers and Bombards
• Toxin for decent damage vs. Crewman, Butchers, Nullifiers, and Heavy Gunners, proc also bypasses Shields
• Radiation for good damage vs. Lancers, Bombards, MOAs, Ospreys, and Drones after shields drop, proc may cause tower defenses to attack them as well. Also great against Corrupted Vor in Tower IV void missions.
• Corrosive for good damage vs. Ancients, Butchers, and Heavy Gunners

Sentients

• Bring at least 5 different damage types, doesn’t matter which elements
• Physical damage weapons that have balanced Impact, Puncture, and Slash damage are recommended
• Burst damage is important, quickly bringing a Sentient below multiple damage resist points in its health will result in it only being able to resist one of the damage types

The Grineer

The Grineer Empire is comprised of the remaining clones from the Old Wars. Lead by the Twin Sisters, the Grineer seek to expand their conquerors empire over the entire sol system. When they rediscovered cloning technology, the Grineer began fabricating mass quantities of clones. Due to this quick and crude process of copying already unstable clones, all Grineer suffer from severe genetic defects which they try to atone for with nearly endless unit numbers. Also many of the Grineer strengthen their weaker limbs with biomechatronic implants and armoring made of Ferrite and Alloy Plate.

The Infested

The vicious Infested are humanoids that have been seized and mutated by the Technocyte plague, the same Technocyte virus the Tenno take advantage of with thier Warframes to enhance thier abilities. Most infested appear to be former Grineer (dog like units) and Corpus (runner and crawler units), but it is also hinted that some of the more ancient and corrupted infested could possibly be failed experiments or even were once Tenno themselves.

Alad V has also been experimenting with the Infested and has subsequently strengthened the virus, enabling it to inundate areas much faster as well as being able to infest non-organic beings which has produced new and deadlier foes such as the Mutalist Ospreys and many more. There are three main types of Infested units; Walkers, Crawlers, and Ancients, as well as serveral created by Alad V meddling with the disease. one of these new types are called Hives, which rapidly infect entire ships ripping them apart and can also enact defensive conditions throughout the ship when in danger.

The Orokin Corrupted

The Orokin were a race that gained control over the Solar System for a period of time known as the Orokin Era. They created the Technocyte Virus during the Old Wars in order to combat what were known as the Sentients (see below). Little is known about these precursor races, except all that remains are their wonderous technological masterpieces that rival and even surpasses Corpus and Grineer’s technological capabilities. Advanced AIs can still be found defending the Orokin towers after several millennia in the Void, emplementing laser traps, turrets, and mind-controlling headpieces called Neural Sentries that attach to intruders, forcing them to eternally fight for the ancient AI; defending the tower from other intruders who would look to plunder its vaults. These unfortunate victums, now only known as The Corrupted, are a mixture of Corpus, Grineer and Infested Units that have fallen prey to the Orokin’s control.
