Firestorm mod

Learn how to get the Firestorm mod in Outriders: Worldslayer. Discover its effects, how it works, and the best ways to farm it for your builds.

Alright, let's talk about the Firestorm mod in Outriders: Worldslayer. This one's pretty cool – imagine summoning a fiery beam that scorches everything caught in its path. Enemies take damage and get burned if they're within an 8-meter radius, and this fiery tornado sticks around for about eight seconds. Plus, it can even grow bigger with more hits, which is neat!

It's a really interesting take on those AOE weapon mods because it not only deals damage but also applies a burn status effect. If you're looking for something a bit different from the usual chain-lightning effects, Firestorm could be your jam. It's also surprisingly good for consistent single-target damage, making it a solid choice over mods like Death Ray.

This mod is especially great if you're all about stacking status effects. If you're running a Pyromancer burn build, it's an obvious pick to get more burns out there. Even if you're not focused on burns, having an extra source to consume for a skill like Overheat is super handy. Technomancers can also find a good use for it in their status debuff builds.

How to Get the Firestorm Mod

So, how do you get your hands on this fiery goodness? The Firestorm mod is tied exclusively to the Sunfall legendary SMG. This weapon can drop from pretty much any Worldslayer content – think Expeditions, Tiago's shop, and the Trial of Tarya Gratar. It's part of the general legendary drop pool, so it might feel a bit rare at first.

However, like all the new Worldslayer mods, there's a chance it can randomly appear in the third mod slot of an Apocalypse weapon. The most reliable way to snag it is by completing the Trial of Tarya Gratar, as that guarantees an Apocalypse-tier legendary item. This means you could get the Sunfall SMG itself, or you might find another Apocalypse weapon that already has the Firestorm mod slotted.

Once you've got the Sunfall SMG or any other weapon with the Firestorm mod, you have two options: either dismantle the weapon to add the mod to your inventory, or use the 'Mod Out' feature to extract it. Either way, you can then apply it to any weapon you want!
