Is the Praxic blade classified as a heat weapon for the purpose of set bonuses?

Has anyone tested it? 😇👍💠

  • It's not a heat weapon, it's a SWORD. If it was a heat weapon, you would be generating heat while using it right?

      Just dropped some spare Credits to buy a [b]Thriving Survivor[/b] set to test this. The four piece bonus for this set is called [b]Room Clearing[/b], which activates after three final blows using either Heat of Primary ammo weapons; luckily the buff it provides is displayed when activated. As the time between kills necessary to activate the buff is not especially strict, it proved quite easy to get the buff while using every Heat or Primary ammo weapon I tried with the exception of the [b]Refurbished A499[/b] (heavy sniper) as the reload is just too slow to string three final blows together in a reasonable amount of time under normal circumstances.* [i]* It may [b]technically[/b] be possible to activate the buff using the heavy sniper through a combination of Outlaw, Ambitious Assassin and Kinetic Loader mods, or a lucky shot that takes down three lined up enemies at once but that is beside the point.[/i] That said, after several attempts I was unable to activate [b]Room Clearing[/b] using the Praxic Blade a even once despite how quickly one can string together three kills using the weapon, which I feel strongly indicates that it is not considered a Heat weapon; I do not find this result surprising as the Blade lacks the Overheating and Venting mechanics as well as the [b]Vent Speed[/b], [b]Heat Generated[/b] and [b]Cooling Efficiency[/b] stats seen on other Heat weapons.

      • Who cares? Just use it while it’s good. It’ll be neutered when the next dlc drops.
