The Update 34: Abyss of Dagath added new Bond Mod mechanics to the Companion or Pet system. One of them is the interesting, but ultimately lackluster, cloning Duplex Bond Mod. There are also some that can be straightforward boosts depending on your build, such as the Tandem and Vicious Mods. Nevertheless, to be able to obtain all of these Companion Bonds, you will need to farm some Syndicate Standings in Warframe.
All Companion Bond Mods cost 20,000 Standing and come as an Unranked Mod. You also need to reach Rank 3 with three different Syndicate to unlock all new Companion Bond Mods in Warframe:
- Entrati: Associate Rank.
- Solaris United: Doer Rank.
- Ostrons: Trusted Rank.
How to Get Master Teasonai Bond Mods
| Mod Name | Max Rank Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Covert Bond | Finisher and Mercy Kills grant your Companion 10s of stealth that attacks will not disrupt. Max 60s. | – Might work well with Helios or Deconstructor Pet build |
| Restorative Bond | Health Orbs restore 60 more health and reduce Companion Recovery by 3s. | – Health restoration bonus only works for your Companion. – This makes mods like Equilibrium useless. |
| Manifold Bond | Companion Precept Mods apply Status Effects from Companion weapons. Killing enemies with 3 or more unique Status Effects reduces Companion Ability cooldowns by 3s. | – A Robotic Companion mod, doesn’t work on Beasts. – Status effect will proc with any weapon hit. – But damage-dealing status effect will only deal 1 damage per tick. – Other Companion Mods cannot extend the duration of Manifold’s proc’d status. – Cooldown reduction doesn’t affect Wyrm’s Negate and Shade’s Ghost. |
| Tandem Bond | Companion melee hits increase your Combo by 6. Heavy Attacks increase Companion melee damage by 30% multiplied by your combo multiplier for 30s. | – A Beast Companion mod, doesn’t work on Robotics. – A must-have for a melee build like Baruuk and Wukong. |
| Mystic Bond | After your Companion uses Abilities with cooldowns 5 times, you may cast a Warframe Ability without expending Energy. | – Could be useful as an Arcane Energize alternative. – Synergize well with Diriga’s Arc Coil. – Wyrm’s Negate and Shade’s Ghost cannot activate Mystic Bond’s effect. |
These Mods can be purchased from Master Teasonai’s Offerings in Cetus on Earth. He should be standing near the gate to the Plains of Eidolon. To be able to buy Master Teasonai’s Companion Bond Mods, you have to be buddy-buddy with the Ostrons Syndicate.
It is recommended to do Conservation Hunting at the Plains of Eidolon to farm Standing with the Ostrons. Then wait until night and look for Vasca Kavats. Find a pack of Nephil Vasca Kavats and it should give you 3,000 to 6,000 Standings since capturing one nets you 1,500 Standings! While Tranq Rifle from Fortuna does the job, you should use Baruuk’s Lull, Equinox’s Rest, or Ivara’s Sleep Quiver instead. Because the Tranq Rifle could accidentally deal some damage if you shoot the animal at the wrong spot and ruin its condition.
How to Farm Son Companion Bond Mods in Warframe
| Mod Name | Max Rank Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Contagious Bond | When your Companion kills an enemy afflicted with a Status Effect, 50% of the Status Effect spreads to other enemies within 9m. | – Pair it with Citrine’s Fractured Blast and Sentinel with Verglas for a great AOE effect. |
| Duplex Bond | Companion will clone itself each time you expend 100 energy, up to 3 clones. Clones live 30s and cannot use Abilities. Their kills have a 50% chance of dropping Energy Orbs. | – Energy expending works cumulatively. – Clone cannot trigger Abilities and Mods. – Best paired with Sentinel using Verglas or Helstrum. |
| Seismic Bond | While a channeled Ability is active, Companion melee attacks create a 4m shockwave for 30% of their melee attack damage. Damage dealt by your Companion increases your Ability Efficiency by 3% for 12 seconds. Max 10 stacks. | – Enemies with Overguard are immune to the shockwave. – The shockwave cannot deal status effects by itself. Pair it with Manifold Bond if you’re using Robotic Pet for it to work. |
| Vicious Bond | Companion melee attacks strip 15% of enemy armor. Enemies recently damaged by Abilities spread the effect to other enemies in a 9m radius. | – Good all-rounder Companion Bond Mod in Warframe. – Only works with Deconstructor if you’re using Sentinel – Synergize well with Reinforced and Tenacious Mods. |
For these Mods, you want to head out to Necralisk on Deimos and browse Son’s Offerings. Be friendly with the Entrati Syndicate and you should be able to unlock Son’s Companion Bond Mods selections.
To quickly raise Standing for Entrati, you will need to farm Mother Tokens by doing Bounties. Brute Force Bounty is considered to be the fastest mission you can clear out for the Tokens. However, running the Steel Path version is highly not recommended since the enemies will be very tanky and waste your time. Instead, look for the Level 40-60 Bounty. Don’t forget to set the zone’s level first by running any highest-level Bounty and deliberately failing the mission. Then speak to Mother again and pick the Level 40-60 Brute Force Bounty.

These Warframe Companion Mods can be farmed from The Business’s Offering in Fortuna on Venus. Then bond with Solaris United to open up the Companion Mods list on the vendor.
Like the Ostrons, one of the best ways to farm Standing here is by running Conservation Hunting. The other method you can try is Mining around the Orb Vallis. Get a Nosam Cutter from Old Man Suumbaat in Cetus or a Sunpoint Plasma Drill from Smokefinger in Fortuna.
Then you will want to follow this route:
- Start from Harindi Crater from the cavern on the west and mine there.
- Head to the eastern part of Spaceport and head inside the caves.
- Now go to the caverns east of Transit Depot.
- Afterward, head southwest to the lake. From there, head west for another cave.
- Lastly, go to the southwest corner of the map for the final cave mining area.
- You can also go to the cave just west of Coolant Reservoir before ending your farm.
