My first Riven MOD

[hpoonis2010]

I just unveiled a riven mod.

When I am at MOD foundry I can see it in there and it appears as a PRIMARY mod although it does not state what weapon it is for. Where weapon type normally is on other mods, this only states MR9. I am mastery rank 10 so I am assuming that I can use it.

However, when I am at the arsenal I cannot see it anywhere for primary. I tried a few different types of primary and still nothing. I tried secondary: nothing. I went through archwing and companion/sentinel and still cannot find it. All my weapons are rank 30.

I restarted the game and it still only shows up in the foundry mod list. So, despite applying some endo to upgrade it, I have a useless item.

Is something amiss? Should I open a ticket?

Riven mod is for specific weapon. What weapon is written in the name?

When you unveil primary riven, it will be for primary weapon, but in the name its written what weapon. For example Strun Critatata is for Strun weapon.

You might not have actually unveiled the riven. If it just says "primary", then it will have a challenge you need to complete to unveil it the rest of the way. It goes generic riven (some shops sell random rivens like this) -> riven with a weapon class -> riven for a specific weapon.

Once you have the riven with a NAME and STATS, you then need to acquire a copy of ANY VERSION of that weapon. At that point the riven will appear in the modding screen for that weapon in your arsenal.

I HAVE unveiled it. It is not veiled. It has 3 affects revealed. This is not the only case. I have a railjack mod and the same thing is happening with that.

I don't think so. I looked at the wiki and there are graphic examples of riven mods and the weapon type is not suggested, only if it is primary.

If it's really as you said then you should obviously open a support ticket. We only have your words to go off of here and there's pretty much nothing we can do to help in these situations, especially if you don't provide any sort of screenshots and we're just left to guess based on your descriptions which don't line up with how things usually are. And since even if your description is completely accurate and you have indeed revealed the challenge and also unveiled it, then it sounds like a bug, hence not much can be done by posting about it here.

But for the sake of trying to help, let's go through some things about riven mods that you might not know since this is your first one.

Rivens appear in 3 different states, that is unrevealed, veiled, and unveiled.

I call it unrevealed, but that's basically the state it's initially in, that is it doesn't say anything really except that it's for primary, secondary, melee, kitgun, etc.

Going into the upgrade section of your arsenal for the correct type will show the unrevealed riven in the very last spots to the far right of your mods. Attempting to equip the riven will ask if you're sure, then put it into a veiled state.

Veiled rivens show their challenge, which you must complete to unveil it. The challenge is very specific about its rules and anything not in the rules works. You don't need to actually use the weapon the riven is on to complete the challenge, or any weapon for that matter, it just needs to be done. There are additional modifiers that might be part of the challenge, like Complete a level 30 or higher Defense mission SOLO without the defense target taking any damage and without using energy consumables. The base challenge is the defense mission with the target taking no damage (this includes shield and health damage), while having to do it solo, or not being able to use energy consumables is the extra part that might be tacked on.

Once the challenge is completed the weapon is revealed, along with the riven polarity and MR lock. Rivens are for specific weapons, not weapon types. An unveiled riven will only be for one specific weapon or weapon "family", i.e. a Kuva Bramma riven is only for Kuva Bramma, but a Hek riven will work on Hek, Vaykor Hek, and Kuva Hek. Note that the stats will change on the riven depending on which version of the weapon it's equipped on which is an effect of the riven disposition, meaning that the more popular a weapon the lower the stats of its rivens.

If you have indeed completed the challenge and gotten the riven into its unveiled state, then you won't find it in your arsenal if you don't have the specific weapon that it can go on. It will only show up in your mod station and in the upgrade section of a weapon that it can be equipped on.

With all that explained you might be able to understand why what you've said doesn't make much sense unless there's a bug involved, or you're not accurate with the information provided.

Will you post the screenshot finally? There is no point helping you at all. You will denial everything I tell you.

Riven mod is for Acceltra weapon. You have that written.
And you cannot use that railjack mod, because its Battle mod and Im 100% sure you try to place that in Intergrated.

I deleted because the answer was already given via a support ticket I opened yesterday. Thank you.

As for the name of the weapon: being in the same place as the usual name for is not helpful to figure out which weapon, especially when one doesn't have that many weapons and so never heard of the specific one.

The wiki, while being comprehensive, fails to state that the weapon required is in the name. So, while unveiled RIFLE RIVEN MOD may inform the new user that the mod is for rifle, given that there is no indication of RIFLE after being unveiled, one can easily be mislead into believing that the mod would be available for general rifle use.

There were some errors that would cause something like that; where the unveiled weapon would just say its weapon type. Those were related to unreleased weapons that were still in the game code but not yet finalized. Sometimes a patch will fix them or they will turn on the correct name when DE finalizes the weapon if they haven't forced it into a different one yet via patches.
