Normal mods drop throughout your everyday missions and as rewards for completing bounties. Others raise your shields and/or heal to increase survivability. Each mod enhances a different statistic (sometimes multiple statistics). You get mods for your ‘frames, weapons, companions, Archwings, and more. Mods come in the form of “cards” that equip to just about everything in Warframe. Generally speaking, these special classes of mods are either purchased or earned through specific missions. The latter two, Legendary and Riven, do not drop from enemies. Meanwhile, Primed mods are platinum and Rivens are purple. These follow the usual color schemes of bronze, silver, and gold. There are five primary ranks of rarity for Warframe mods: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary (commonly called Primed), and Riven.
