How to get the Harrowing Spire Bayonet stance mod in Warframe

Warframe‘s The Old Peace update brought the Vinquibus bayonet, and with it, the Harrowing Spire stance mod unique to this weapon type. It drops from one of the update’s activities, and it’s an upgrade—even though it’s similar to the base version.

The value of the Harrowing Spire bayonet mod isn’t necessarily in its moveset, but rather, how it gives you just a little more room to slot other mods in your build. Here’s how you can get this.

How to get the Vinquibus stance mod in Warframe

The Harrowing Spire mod drops from random containers in Descendia, with a one percent chance of you getting one when opening them. If you can stand the heat, Steel Path doubles the drop rate of any mods, which seems to apply to Harrowing Spire. We got ours in our first full Descendia run on Steel Path, after trying once on Normal to no avail.

You can also buy Harrowed Spire from other players. Third-party tools such as warframe.market can help you link with sellers, and Maroo’s Bazar or the in-game trading channel can also get you in touch with other Tenno looking to part with their surplus drops.

What does the Harrowing Spire bayonet mod do in Warframe?

The Harrowing Spire mod matches the Vinquibus’ unique moveset, so while it doesn’t make the weapon behave that differently, you also get extra mod energy by slotting it in, like the rest of stance and aura mods. It’s essentially a free upgrade for your Vinquibus, giving you 10 extra energy on the weapon’s melee counterpart. The Old Peace bayonet has an Omni polarity for its stance slot, so don’t worry about switching stances down the road.

Harrowing Spire has wide attacks, and its heavy attack is a downward slam. This makes it a bit more suited to crowd control than to single-target damage, but you can always aim down sights to unleash the power of Vinquibus’s ranged form.
