Loadout

Exilus on top, then eight general slots. Weapons have no Aura slot.

Mods Explained

Why each mod is in this Atomos loadout.

  • Primed Pistol Ammo Mutation

    Exilus ammo mutation so Atomic Flare can stay on the plasma beam through long Steel Path tiles without scavenger breaks.

  • Galvanized Diffusion

    Stacking multishot that multiplies Heat/Viral ticks — more beam volume means more DoT stacks when Atomos is the carry gun.

  • Lethal Torrent

    Fire rate and multishot for sustained Steel Path beam DPS — Atomic Flare wants continuous plasma, not sparse priming dumps.

  • Hornet Strike

    Base damage backbone under the Viral/Heat package — raw mult multiplies every beam tick before Galvanized stacks finish.

  • Pistol Pestilence

    Toxin + status half of Viral — keeps armor soft so Heat DoTs and Expel-multiplied damage delete Eximus.

  • Frostbite

    Cold + status completing Viral — classic secondary Viral package that supports Heat clear without a second Heat dual-stat swap.

  • Scorch

    Heat + status so Heat procs land consistently beside Primed Heated Charge — dual Heat weighting for Steel Path DoTs.

  • Primed Heated Charge

    Maximum Heat damage weighting so Atomic Flare’s Heat DoTs and Jade Heat buffs ride the fattest Heat package possible.

  • Primed Expel Grineer

    Faction multiplier that double-dips Heat status against Grineer — the Steel Path upgrade when raw Plasma Scorch stalls on armor.
