You might be wondering how to get some of the rare mods that are key to maintaining particular builds in Warframe. This article is going to take a gander at electric dual stat mods - Shell Shock, High Voltage, Jolt, and Voltaic Strike - which you will need specifically to optimise status-oriented weaponry.
Since we've already gone over the importance of modding weapons properly in Warframe, this short primer will simply give you the information you'll need to collect the mods in question, as well as explaining what is it that they actually do.
The basics of it are simple enough - dual stat mods do two things at once: they bolster the given weapon's status chance, and they add a certain percentage of the weapon's base damage in the form of elemental damage. Dual stat mods also have only three ranks; up to 60% additional damage and status chance.
This means that dual stat mods are easy to max out, and easy to slot into a build, since a maxed dual stat elemental costs only 7 mod capacity. If a weapon has 100 base damage and 10% status chance, after slotting in a single dual stat, it will have 100 base and 60 elemental damage, and 16% status chance.
Warframe: Elemental Dual Stat Mod Drop Locations
Here's a complete list of electric dual stat mods, as well as some tips on where to find them. Keep in mind, they're not particularly common, so be prepared to get some grinding in:
- Shell Shock (shotgun) - complete Hive sabotage missions (Eris) with all three caches found - 4.51% drop chance
- High Voltage (rifle) - complete Hive sabotage missions (Eris) with all three caches found - 4.51% drop chance
- Jolt (pistol) - has no active drop location at the time of writing
- Voltaic Strike (melee) - has no active drop location at the time of writing

'So where's the catch,' you may ask upon noticing that only two dual stat mods drop anywhere in the game. Well, every once in a while, Warframe's Void Trader - Baro Ki'Teer - will be bringing the entire mod set as part of his bi-weekly loot haul. Alternatively, you could also try trading for the mods you're missing, as they're usually pretty cheap.
