Trivia[]
- Before Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), the Heat Sword used to emit a visible ring of fire from slam attacks. This visual effect was also shared with the Heat Dagger and Dual Heat Swords. Since then, all melee weapons make the same effect when doing slam attacks.
- The Heat Sword received a visual change in Update 16.5 (2015-05-12), giving it a faded color scheme with texture animations similar to those found in Prisma weapons.
- The Ember statue in the Strata Relay is holding a Heat Sword on its right hand.

Patch History[]
Update 30.9 (2021-11-11)
- Heat Sword Crafting Requirements
We are changing the crafting requirement for the Heat Sword to require a Neurode rather than a Neural Sensor. Originally, this was meant to incentivize players to explore new nodes, but we want to get better gear in players hands earlier! This change is smaller than most, but meaningful to new players looking to upgrade their melee early on.
