Warframe Passive Augments

[Kai]

So here's to add more fun for our Warframes, if you've seen the title then you know what you're gonna see. I present to you Passive Augments, these mods are more inclined in Solo Play to give them a bit of an edge while being alone and as a result, they take up the Warframe's Aura Slot if needed. Each Warframe will have 2 Passive Augment Mods that they can choose to expand their capability.

 

So read below for an extensive list of Passive Augments for each Warframe available.

These sounds very cool but I do think they should take up the Exilus spot instead of the Aura spot.

I honestly initially planned that but seeing how Passives plays with the Warframe alone and Aura Mods are meant to be played in a group, I decided to take that path where you can use these mods to do Solo Play much more effectively (although you can always bring them in team mods, lacking in Aura that is). Per say, Trinity's Passive Triage is completely useless if you don't have an ally or a companion to do so, but these mods will help you take advantage of such when needed.

Passive augment mods? Sounds great! :D

Adds fun to the game and variety to the builds.

Most of suggested augments appear to be balanced too! Hope DE sees it =)

That may be the case but I made these mods with the sole intention of Solo Play which should give a player/warframe an advantage they would need. Thank you for the feedback :D
