Equipping an Aura mod in your Warframe can be an absolute game-changer for you and your squad.
When you started modding your first Warframe, you might have attempted to place a regular mod in the top slot, only to get a “this slot is reserved for Aura mods” error message. I got this message, which prompted me to browse endlessly through my library of mods, only to realize I didn’t have any. It’s easy to overlook this feature, but Aura mods are a fundamental aspect of Warframe that elevates your gameplay and supports team synergy. In this guide, I’ll outline everything you need to know about Aura mods in Warframe.

Aura mods go in the top slot in your Warframe’s mod section. They affect all players in your squad, which makes them especially useful for cooperative play. Here’s an example: Energy Siphon, one of the easiest-to-get aura mods, boosts energy recharge for the entire team.
How to Get Aura Mods in Warframe
The easiest way to get Aura mods is through Nightwave Cred Offerings, which you can access through the Orbiter’s Navigation console or the Main Menu. They’ll get reset daily and weekly, offering new challenges and opportunities to get more Aura mods.
