History of Firewalker

Firewalker is the Exotic Intrinsic perk on The Path of Burning Steps. Solar weapon damage and Solar Ignition damage bonuses scale with Roaring Flames stacks: one, two, or three stacks grant 10%, 15%, or 20% weapon damage and 5%, 10%, or 15% Ignition damage. The damage bonuses stack with Surge mods, and the perk reduces the duration of Suspend, Slow, and Freeze effects applied to you.

Bungie previewed this rework on June 19, 2025; it shipped with Edge of Fate on July 15, 2025.
