Obtaining Methods

Burning Orb can be obtained in the following ways:

• Loot
• Crafting

Cortex Entry

Cortex Entries are small pieces of lore attached with the particular gear found in Anthem and accessed through the Cortex. All gears have at least one entry associated with them. All Masterwork and Legendary gears' cortex entries directly add to the narrative of the world, but currently unattainable through any in-game means.

The lancer can throw orbs of fire in rapid succession, or gather their energy to release it in a powerful explosive fireball. Like many of the Storm's abilities, the burning orb uses ember to channel elemental energy.
