Heirloom needs a charge rate and base damage buff, and for the catalyst to grant reduced heat generation.
despite heirloom uncharged shots dealing 10% more damage than karking xenophage and jotunn, it absolutely struggles in PVE right now and worse in PVP, it needs some heavy grade buffs and here's how to do it.
just simply add a 20% baseline damage increase, 40% reduced charge time when ADS, and make the catalyst also grant 25% reduced heat generation and or the ability to charge shots when hipfiring, that would do absolute wonders for the exotic, since it's a sniper/precision grenade launcher, it should get buffs to make it feel like one, than currently where it struggles so badly due to the long charge up time and low damage output.

1 ReplyThe charge time is way too long. I'm a longtime dragon's breath lover and I never take that thing off. In the best world I see Heirloom as being a mini DB. But I don't see a world where I would ever equip it over DB. Its ammo economy doesn't seem any better as it takes so long to use the ammo anyways. And I think they need to make the fully charged shot an actual ignition so that it can work with fragments and spread scorch. It's operating too independently of solar verbs like ticcu's does. Charge time aside, even with the catalyst it doesn't have the same synergy with solar as DB does.

1 ReplyEdited by THE GRIND IS REAL: 1/26/2026 6:19:53 AMNot got the crossbow to try tbh so I wouldn't know atall about the damage it can do or doesn't, but would the renegades armor help with the cooldown, the one that activates from grenades and heat weapons ?

14 RepliesThird Iteration needs a similar style of buff. Uncharged it's utterly garbage, but charging it takes too long and doesn't do enough in tougher content.

1 ReplyMake the base explosion huge, the charged explosion massive, double the pve damage of both, reduce heat of charging by 50%, make the perfect vent 50% additive heat reduction.

3 RepliesIt needs like a 300% - 500% damage increase at least, I don't know what is the purpose of this thing, it's cool, but very disappointing The pinnacle ops legendary heavy crossbow does more damage, I know it's a heavy, but still, the thing is taking up an exotic slot, and cannot be used for damage, or used frequently to make up for it Tried it against champions, it's very sad, it can't deal with them at all

1 ReplyYes right now it’s barely worth the spot for Unstopp. I don’t know how to fix it but it needs a buff.
