Can I repair Damaged Mods?

I sometimes get mod drops that say they're damaged. Is there any way to repair them? Should I bother levelling them? Or is this just the game's way of indicating quality? (I so far am just ignoring damaged mods in favour of ones that aren't damaged, but if I can make these useful to me, I'd like to.)

Solution 1:

You can't repair damaged mods. Instead, you have to find the normal versions of these mods elsewhere in the solar system.

Damaged mods are generally weaker than their non-damaged counterparts, plus they also have less upgrades available.

If you're looking for a specific mod, its drop locations may be listed in the in-game Codex. It's also a good idea to check the Warframe Wiki.
