Mandonel is an Archgun that was introduced alongside Qorvex when the Whispers in the Walls update was released on December 13, 2023.
This weapon features 2 firing modes that can be utilized for both close-range and distant targets to deal high amounts of damage.
It is the signature weapon of Qorvex, which was also released during the update, and works exceptionally well when wielded by the Warframe.
Mandonel Stats
The Mandonel fires multiple projectiles with its primary attack that can devastate enemies up close and shred groups in seconds.
Its secondary attack allows its wielder to charge up before releasing a beam, which can penetrate and damage several enemies in a line.
Shots fired partially will release a spread of projectiles while charging up and releasing a beam will deal a full amount of damage.

How to Get Mandonel?
How To Get Mandonel Blueprint
The Mandonel Blueprint can be obtained by doing Bounties that are acquired from Fibonacci, who can be found in Sanctum Anatomica.
You will need to accept one of the Bounties that has the Mandonel Blueprint as a reward and complete it for a chance to get it.
The Mandonel is a Rare Reward, which may require that you complete multiple bounties unless you get lucky on the first try.
How To Get Mandonel Components
Obtaining the Mandonel Components (Mandonel Barrel, Mandonel Stock, and Mandonel Receiver) can be done by doing Albrecht’s Laboratory missions.
These include Persto (Survival), Cambire (Alchemy), and Munio (Mirror Defense), which have a chance to reward the Mandonel Component on Rotation B or C.
It may take multiple runs before you will obtain all the parts that you are after, which means that grinding is a must if you want to complete the weapon.
Purchasing Mandonel
To skip the tedious task of grinding to get the Mandonel Blueprint and its Components, you may purchase the weapon.
This will either be purchasing Mandonel fully built for 250 Platinum or purchasing the Qorvex Collection (Includes Mandonel) for 590 Platinum.
Purchasing Mandonel will have the weapon fully built and will include a Gravimag being installed to increase its Mod Capacity.
Mandonel Crafting Requirements
Before building Mandonel, you will need to build its Barrel, Stock, and Receiver at the Foundry aboard your Orbiter.
Mandonel Blueprint
- 1 Mandonel Barrel
- 1 Mandonel Receiver
- 1 Mandonel Stock
- 2 Echo Voca
Verdict
Obtaining the Mandonel can be a bit of a grind but it is worth it in the end once you finally get the weapon and can equip it with mods.
Since you can summon Archguns in missions, the Mandonel can be one of the best ways to take out tougher enemies depending on how you mod the weapon.
Being Qorvex’s signature weapon, Mandonel can charge the Warframe’s Chyrinka Pillars, which later modify its projectiles.
