Pain Threshold

Warframe Exilus stagger-recovery mod

Released Oct 20, 2016

Pain Threshold shortens stagger recovery, up to +160% faster recovery at max rank. Consider it if stagger interruptions are a recurring problem; it improves recovery after stagger rather than preventing stagger or recovering from knockdowns.

Pain Threshold GUIDE

Understand Pain Threshold

Useful when…

  • Recover from stagger more quickly.
  • Use a Warframe Exilus slot for stagger recovery.

Effect and distinction

Pain Threshold gives +40% faster stagger recovery at rank 0 and +160% at rank 3. Its effect concerns stagger recovery. Constitution’s comparison effect includes faster knockdown recovery and ability duration, while Handspring increases knockdown recovery; those do not describe this mod’s stagger effect.

Slot and use

It is a standard Warframe Exilus mod with Naramon polarity and base drain 6. Consider it when stagger recovery specifically matters to your combat flow. The Conclave mod Anticipation instead lists extra stagger and knockdown immunity after being affected, a different effect and variant.

Rank investment

It has ranks 0 through 3. The listed rank 2 to 3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 credits for the increase from +120% to +160% faster stagger recovery. Rank it according to how much that additional recovery helps; the mod does not list stagger immunity.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • It uses a Warframe Exilus slot and addresses stagger recovery only.
  • It does not list knockdown recovery or immunity as an effect.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Confusing stagger recovery with knockdown recovery.
  • Assuming the mod prevents staggers; its stated effect speeds recovery after one.
