Lost Basic Ability Mod's (Volt)

[Hemipheistos]

Hi. At the very beginning of me playing this game, and having no real idea whats going on, i thought it would be OK to focus on one or two abilities at first and then level the others (variation of playstyle).

So i decided to "Speed" and "Shock" only on VOLT.

Somehow the other basic mods "Electric Shield" and "Overload" got lost or destroyed (i think i sold them, because i noticed that the mods for other characters like "Nyx - absorb" or "Trinity - Energy Vampire" are rare loots and so should be the mod's vor VOLT to *ponder*.

 

Now, after 34h total time of gameplay i have a lot of ability mods but NOT a single one for VOLT (just the ones i kept).

 

It seems that the ability mods do NOT drop again for the Character what is active.

 

:-(

 

Question: How do i get them back ?

[CaedesEnder]

sadly there is only 2 ways

farm them (infested missions or endless defence are the best)
buy a new volt frame - whenever you do you get all 4 abilities as part of the build

 

other than that, atm there is no way to get them im afraid :( sorry man

What Caedes said is perfectly correct atm

I did the same (fused all my mods into one when I first started Excalibur) And I had to make a new account bcuz I only had like 6h on the first one.

But After I made the new account and played it I got some rare ability mods for other warframes (a lot of Ghost mods) so I guess they do drop but the droprate is low (hence the rare part)

There is talk of "mod gifting" coming soon within a clan, someone might have a spare (i sadly do not or you could have it) but that may be a while off yet.

Thanks for the response, but i dont think i can farm them.

As i said i did not found a single mod for my active Char (VOLT) till now but lots of ability mods for the other Tennos.

I dont think this is just a sad coincidence - I think it just does not work.

 

Which leads to the even more sad situation that i now have 4 Attack-Polarity Slots but there are not enought Mods available for VOLT with this polarity (because i miss the other 2).

 

So i loose modification points by placing wrong polarity mods in there (or leave them empty).

I can live with that. but i think it's an issue which shall be adressed.

 

 

Edit: Yes, the mod gifting would do the job, properly.

The odds of getting any one specific frame's skills are quite low, however, if it's any consolation, since yesterday's patch skill#1 and skill#2 for all frames are common and uncommon, rather than rare.

Indeed, might be worth putting in the suggestions forum if its not already, your not the only one (this weekend alone) who has sold or lost a mod, a buyback would be handy but the lesson is dont sell rares :P you never know when you will need them

[Hemipheistos]

Skill 1 and 2  - So that Shock and Speed, exactly the two i have already.

 

;-P

 

 

Whatever..i will focus und my triggerfinger :-)

The recent change to frame mods made a lot of them COMMON or UNCOMMON, down from RARE. I suggest farming infested missions as I got 3 frame mods I did not have before in just a few of them.
