How To Get The Corrupted Mods (Derelict) – Part 1

The mods listed above are all obtained from Orokin Vaults which spawn on the Orokin Derelict Missions. To play the Orokin Derelict missions you will need Orokin Derelict Keys for each mission. The blueprints for the Orokin Derelict keys are obtained from the market. When you’re in the market go to > Home > Equipment > Drones and Keys. Here you will see all the Derelict Key blueprints. The Orokin Vault spawns on all the Derelict missions except for the assassinate and defense one. I recommend using the Orokin Derelict Exterminate or Capture missions for these mods. On you crafted your keys you can start the Derelict missions from the navigation.

How To Get The Corrupted Mods (Dragon Keys) – Part 2

When you’re doing the Orokin Derelict Missions you will be looking for the Orokin Vaults which look like this.

The Orokin Vault spawns where small doorways would be. Once you’re in the mission you should check every room for it. Only 1 Orokin Vault spawns per mission. Once you find the vault it will ask for a Dragon Key to open it.

There are 4 different variants of the Dragon Key. Each time you find an Orokin Vault it will always ask for a different key (it is random).

The Dragon Key blueprints can be obtained from your dojo’s Orokin lab (go to the left console).
There you will see the blueprints for the 4 different Dragon Keys. If you read their description they will all tell you that equipping that key will give you some reduced stat. Each key decreases 75% of the said stat.

Hobbled Key:..Greatly reduces movement speed. – your rolling and Bulletjump speed are unaffected.
Bleeding Key:..Greatly reduces health. – you can use Inaros and still have more than 1000 hp.
Extinquished Key:..Greatly reduces damage dealth.
Decaying Key:…Greatly reduces sheild capacity. – you can always oversheild.

To equip the keys for the mission you must put them in one of your gear slots ( you can do this in the arsenal while in your orbitor ). Once equipped the key will immediately reduce your stats. When you remove your key from your gear slot or you use it the effect clear. You can only equip one Dragon key at a time.

How To Get The Corrupted Mods – Part 3

Once you have the Dragon Keys + Derelict keys the best (and most logical) thing is to find a squad that wants to do “Vault Runs”. Look for: “H Vault runs” or “LF Vault runs” in the recruiting chat. When you get in a squad you want to make sure that all of you have a different Dragon Key. When you find the vault, the guy that has the key needs to open it.

Inside you will see a statue of Excalibur Prime holding a “yellowish Ball” in his hands. You need to pick that ball up. The player which picks up the “yellowish ball” will get another one of Dragon Key effects on him. Once you complete the mission and extract you will see which mod you got. Some mods are rarer than others.
