Playstyle

Launch a volley of virulent, hyper-pressurized, water globules that envelope targets and explode with torrential force. Built as a status secondary / primer option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Yareli’s signature weapon — expect a small bonus when used by that Warframe. Yareli

When to Pick

  • You want a Pistol that fits a status secondary / primer play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Kompressa does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
  • You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Attack Modes

  • Normal Attack

    Viral 2

    Projectile · Crit 6% / 1.8× · Status 30% · Fire Rate 3.33 · Projectile 40

  • Explosion

    Viral 42

    AoE · Crit 6% / 1.8× · Status 30% · Fire Rate 3.33 · Falloff 0–2.4m (−20%)

Attack Notes

  • Normal Attack (Projectile): Viral 2.0.
  • Explosion (AoE): Viral 42.0.

Upgrades

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

  • Orokin CatalystCapacity

    Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

    Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

  • FormaPolarity

    Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

    expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  • Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

    Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).

    Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

  • Secondary Arcane AdapterArcane

    Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

    Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

  • Riven ModRiven

    Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.15.

    Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

  • Kompressa PrimeVariant

    The primed version — stronger stats and usually better polarities.

    Upgrade path when relics/parts are available.

Mod Scaling

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.

Priority

Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionSituationalTest whether Kompressa still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Kompressa when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongHold objectives by deleting approach packs with Kompressa, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Kompressa has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.

Alternatives

Other options if Kompressa isn’t the right fit.

  • Kompressa Prime

    Prime upgrade in the same line as Kompressa — Kompressa Prime has higher crit (167%) and higher status (20%). Compare polarities before Forma.

  • Acrid

    Another Pistol if you want less status than Kompressa (Acrid: 10.0%).

  • Afuris Prime

    Another Pistol if you want more crit than Kompressa (Afuris Prime: 16.0%).
