What the current public source layer can safely say
These rows answer the mechanic query with direct official support before any player follows a build video.

Safe claim boundary
This page is for mechanic identity and route fit only. Exact DPS, best build verdicts, or hidden scaling claims stay out until a fuller verified extraction pass exists.
Demand
Why this support route now needs to exist
The current public surface is strong enough that the site should answer the mechanic directly instead of forcing everything through a single weapon page.
Demand signalReported
Same-day official page creation
The official wiki creating Heat as its own page on July 3, 2026 is itself a breakout signal because the term can now be answered directly instead of being scattered across weapon pages.
Demand signalReported
Current overheat video phrasing
A same-day short titled around the first overheat weapon shows live public demand for Pilgrammed heat and Overheated wording beyond one exact item name.
Demand signalReported
Merchant and weapon spillover
Recent Duffy and Junkpits weapon chatter keeps pulling mechanic questions into Millennium Cannon and Millennium Saw searches, so this support route now helps catch the system intent cleanly.
