Key information
Digital Extremes is overhauling the Warframe Riven mod system to foster build diversity and simplify mechanics. The developer is removing the Riven disposition system entirely, which previously required quarterly balance adjustments.
A major gameplay change involves capping ammo efficiency at 75 percent. This adjustment ensures that weapons consume at least one unit of ammunition for every four shots fired, effectively ending previous infinite ammo builds.
All Riven mods will be reset to base values equivalent to a 1.2 disposition. This change aims to ensure new weapons have powerful options immediately and that all mods provide a noticeable boost without requiring constant developer adjustments.
These updates arrive on October 22. To mitigate the impact on existing high-damage builds, Digital Extremes will provide inbox rewards to all players, with additional compensation for those who utilized Riven Splicers and Trait locking earlier in 2026.
