How to Get Corrupt Charge in Warframe (2026): Where It Drops, Stats and Is It Worth It
Last Updated on September 18, 2026
Corrupt Charge is a rare melee mod: Corrupt Charge increases the initial Combo Counter of melee weapons by 30 while reducing the combo duration by 50% at max rank. The Orokin Vaults on Deimos: bring all four Dragon Keys, open the vault, and it is about a 4 percent roll per run, so budget ten to twenty runs or pay a few platinum on warframe.market. Starts the combo counter at 30 for heavy-attack builds; the duration penalty does not matter if you heavy attack on purpose.
