Keeping your companions strong can sometimes provide more than one benefit, especially when they have Reinforced Bond equipped.
This mod increases your Fire Rate by up to 60% when your companion’s maximum shields or current shields are sufficiently high, giving you a reliable damage boost.
Reloading your weapon restores up to 150 overshields to your companion, helping maintain their durability and ensuring the Fire Rate bonus remains active.
How To Get Reinforced Bond?
Reinforced Bond can be purchased from The Business after reaching Rank 3 – Doer with Solaris United, costing 20,000 Reputation for a single copy.
This mod is exclusive to vendor acquisition, as it does not drop from missions or enemies, so players must rely on The Business for obtaining it.
Once acquired, Reinforced Bond can also be traded with other players, making it convenient to secure without grinding reputation repeatedly for multiple copies.
Reinforced Bond Mod Effects
Reinforced Bond increases the Fire Rate of your Warframe by up to 60 percent when your companion’s current or maximum shields, including Overshields, are over 1200.
Reloading your equipped weapon restores up to 150 shields to your companion, helping maintain the Fire Rate bonus and allowing them to survive longer in combat encounters.
The Fire Rate bonus only activates while the companion remains alive and temporarily deactivates if they are incapacitated, emphasizing the importance of careful positioning.
Weapons that reload per projectile, such as shotguns, are particularly effective in triggering shield restoration repeatedly to sustain Reinforced Bond’s Fire Rate boost consistently.

Verdict
Reinforced Bond is perfect for players who want consistent fire support while ensuring their companion maintains survivability in prolonged combat engagements across diverse mission types.
The combination of Fire Rate increase and automatic shield restoration keeps both the player and companion effective, reducing downtime and helping maintain continuous offensive pressure.
This mod focuses on subtle but meaningful support rather than overpowering your companion, rewarding strategic play and careful management of shields during battles.
