Flawed Mods

Flawed Mods (previously called Damaged Mods) are weaker versions of preexisting Mods initially intended for newer players, originally obtainable during the Vor's Prize quest. They are identified by visible cracks on the mods' image as well as the word "FLAWED" in their descriptions.
As of , Flawed Mods were intended to be antiqued, with all Flawed Mods being converted to non-flawed variants (with the exception of the April Fools ). These antiques can now be purchased from the mod storage box near Cressa Tal at Iron Wake.
==Details==
Prior to , Flawed Mods were awarded while progressing the Vor's Prize Quest. Flawed Mods only dropped during the questline missions, with the exception of the Mercury Junction which rewards flawed copies of and . From onwards, these mods cannot be traded. Following , they are sold from the mod storage box near Cressa Tal in Iron Wake for for common rarity, for uncommon, and for rare.
Flawed Mods still provide the same effects as their normal counterparts. However, as their name suggests, these mods have reduced power and/or rank. Flawed Mods come in three types:
# Reduced base capacity drain, reduced effect, and a maximum rank of 3.
# Reduced effect, and a maximum rank of 3, with base capacity drain unchanged.
# A maximum rank of 3, with base capacity drain and effect unchanged.
As a rule, most mods have only one flawed counterpart, selected from the pool of flawed variants above. For example, the mod has a flawed mod with reduced drain, effect, and maximum rank, and no other flawed variants.
There is no way to "unflaw" a flawed mod.
These mods effectively gave new players a hand when starting out, as normal mods may be too costly to rank up (both in terms of Credits and Endo), or too capacity hungry, especially without any Orokin Reactors or Orokin Catalysts to increase mod capacity on new players' equipment. Once players start gathering enough supplies and mods, they were free to convert these mods to Credits/Endo to strengthen their normal counterparts or keep them, with the first type still being useful for some loadouts due to a reduced capacity drain, thus being able to fit where a non-flawed mod would not fit. They can also be transmuted.
==List of Flawed Mods==
Flawed mods with reduced base capacity drain and reduced base effect are shown 1. Those with unchanged base capacity drain and reduced base effect are shown 2. Those with unchanged base capacity drain and base effect are shown 3.
==Notes==
*When it comes to installing mods on your equipment, are considered identical to their normal counterparts and cannot be equipped simultaneously.
*Flawed Mods of a certain power cost are often slightly more powerful than their partially-ranked normal counterparts at the same cost. For example, a maxed Flawed Flow offers +50% max energy at 5 cost, whereas a Rank 2 Flow gives the same at 6 cost instead.
**This property of Flawed Mods rarely sees use, but some can be used as substitutes in incomplete builds to save on mod power cost as much as possible.
* do not count towards the Codex entries of their respective normal mods.
* cannot be obtained through Transmutation, even if all the mods used are flawed themselves.
*Flawed Ammo Drum was available as a reward for a 1-hour Survival mission on April Fools 2016. This was the only way to obtain Flawed Ammo Drum, and it was the only Flawed Mod that did not drop from Vor's Prize or a Junction. As of Update 34.0, it is the only Flawed Mod that cannot be purchased at Iron Wake.
