Using Orokin Reactor on Equipment [ ]

To apply an Orokin Reactor, go to the Arsenal and access the desired item's Mod loadout. Select Action at the bottom of the screen and select Upgrade.

An applied Orokin Reactor will double the equipment's mod capacity. A rank 1 equipment with a Reactor installed will have a capacity of 2, which will increase to 60 at rank 30. Reactors can only be applied once.

Trivia [ ]

The Orokin Reactor's build requirements, build time, base Rush cost, and Market price are identical to that of Forma.
Orokin Reactors are often referred to by players as 'golden potatoes' (as opposed to Orokin Catalysts, called 'blue potatoes'), or in some cases, simply 'potatoes.' This may have originated from the devs, who have occasionally referred to them as potatoes.
- The Potato T-shirt available in the official Warframe merchandise store is a reference to this.
- The quest A Man of Few Words makes a reference to this, with Darvo retrieving a relic named the "Potent Orokin Technical Augmentation and Tactical Offensive" device.

Patch History [ ]

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

Players can now install an Orokin Catalyst / Orokin Reactor onto ungilded Modular items, specifically:
- Kitguns (Primary + Secondary)
- Zaw (Melee)
- Modular Companions (Moas + Hounds)
  - Being unable to install a Reactor or Catalyst onto an ungilded modular item significantly slowed down progression on new Modular items. Players who were willing to make the investment into Modular items weren't able to Mod them to their full capacity, which left their new gear feeling very underpowered. So we have removed that restriction!

Build time to 23 hours so that 1 can be built consistently every day.
