Heat Inherit Torch
Steel PathHeat inherit primer4 forma
Max Heat and faction weighting for Heat inherit setups — Sure Shot keeps status chance high while Primed Expel Grineer fattens inherited Heat damage.
Best pickRadial PrimerRecommended Epitaph loadout — open it instead if you want the default setup.Exilus on top, then eight general slots. Weapons have no Aura slot.
Why each mod is in this Epitaph loadout.
- Primed Fulmination
AOE radius stays mandatory — Heat inherit primers still want every blast to paint as many bodies as possible.
- Galvanized Diffusion
Stacking multishot for more Heat procs per blast — inherit setups live on status density, not raw Epitaph DPS.
- Lethal Torrent
Fire rate and multishot for quick priming dumps on Steel Path before you swap to the inherit carry weapon.
- Scorch
Heat + status so Heat procs land consistently — the dual-stat half of the inherit torch package.
- Primed Heated Charge
Maximum Heat damage weighting so inherited Heat from the follow-up weapon rides the fattest Heat status possible.
- Primed Expel Grineer
Faction damage that multiplies Heat inherit against Grineer — Steel Path priming where Expel actually moves the needle.
- Augur Seeker
Status duration so Heat sticks long enough for the inherit weapon to cash in after the hot-swap.
- Sure Shot
Flat status chance so Heat procs do not miss on Steel Path armor — keeps the torch reliable without a second elemental.
- Hornet Strike
Base damage so status application stays consistent — primers still need raw mult before Galvanized Diffusion stacks.
