Sidekicks are an extremely rare event that occurs in Warframe once a year. The Acolytes move around the star graphic and can drop powerful mods that many Tenno desperately need to have. To make sure you don't waste your time, this guide will go over each Acolyte, which mods they are dropping out, and what each mod does. Mods are a mix of Pistol, Rifle, Assault Rifle, Shotgun, and Melee mods, and can only be used with the appropriate weapon type listed on the mod.
If you need help finding the Acolyte, be sure to read our full event guide.
There are six Acolytes, and they all drop different mods and rewards. Below, we'll walk through the effects of each mod at max rank.
