Overview

Explosive Bolts is a Weapon Perk for bolt weapons, added in Season 27. The bolt explodes shortly after it hits the environment or a target. Its direct impact damage is lower, and the explosion does more of the work. Interact with the bolt to retrieve it.

It rolls on A Good Shout, Opaque Hourglass and Submersion.

Tips
