Warframe has a unique way of improving the stats of your equipment which goes as far as your Warframe, weapons, companions, and more.
While there are all kinds of mods that function separately, there are special mods called Set Mods which provide you with special benefits when they are equipped.
Making use of your ordinary mods is fine but with Set Mods, there is a lot more you can achieve and you can come up with some pretty useful and fun builds to use.
What Are Set Mods?
Set Mods, also known as Mod Sets or Mod Collections are mods that belong to a specific set, which you can determine by the name of the mod.
For example, we have Hunter Mods which have names such as Hunter Munitions, Hunter Track, Hunter Adrenaline, and more, all beginning with “Hunter” meaning they are set mods.
This means that all those mods beginning with Hunter are part of the Hunter Mods Set, which will provide you with the Set Bonus of the Hunter Mods.
Set Mods provide you with a Set Bonus that increases when you have more equipped, increasing the bonus provided per mod.
Warframe Set Mods Collections
There are Set Mods that can be equipped on Warframes, weapons, and companions to complete their set bonuses, depending on which set you are focusing on.

Verdict
Set Mods have been a big help ever since they were introduced as some of the most creative builds have been made with them.
Some Warframes and weapons may sometimes be lacking and with the right mods, especially ones from collections, you can make up for any downsides.
Each mod set has a specific Set Bonus and these can be used in many ways especially when you strategize with your Warframe or weapons that you are using.
