Using Orokin Catalyst on Equipment [ ]

To apply an Orokin Catalyst, 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 Catalyst will double the weapon's mod capacity. For an MR 10 player, an unranked weapon with a Catalyst installed will have a capacity of 20, which will increase to 60 at rank 30. Catalysts can only be applied once.

Notes [ ]

Orokin Catalysts are often referred to by players as 'blue potatoes' (as opposed to Orokin Reactors, called 'golden potatoes'), or in some cases, simply 'potatoes'. This originated from a short animation called "War friends" on YouTube; this was later tweeted by the Warframe Twitter and referenced by the Devs.[1]
- The Potato T-shirt available in the official Warframe merchandise store is a reference to this.
- P.O.T.A.T.O. means "Potent Orokin Technical Augmentation and Tactical Offensive" device, as stated by Darvo during A Man of Few Words.
Weapons bought with platinum from the Market come pre-installed with a Catalyst and their own weapon slot.
Once applied to a weapon, it cannot be taken off to use on another weapon.
Orokin Catalysts/Reactors are not removed after applying a Forma.

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!
