Digital Extremes has overhauled the Riven mod system in Warframe, removing disposition entirely and capping ammo efficiency to encourage build diversity. The update, rolling out October 22, sets a 75% ammo efficiency cap, meaning weapons will consume one ammo every four shots at best. All existing Rivens will be reset to new base values, representing a disposition of 1.2 in the previous system.
This ensures new weapons start with powerful mods immediately, while existing mods may see significant viability swings. To offset impacts on damage-focused builds, the studio will gift all players an inbox reward. Those who tested Riven Splicers and Trait locking earlier in 2026 will receive double rewards.
The full technical details and affected mod lists are available on the Warframe subreddit. The studio aims to simplify balancing, guarantee noticeable Riven boosts, and eliminate constant adjustments by removing disposition as a balancing factor. New weapons will have strong mods day one, and all players receive equal treatment regardless of weapon popularity.
