Overview

Charged Bolts is a basic bolt perk added in Season 27. Bolts attached to targets deal damage over time. Interact with a bolt to retrieve it.

How it plays

The effect starts when a bolt attaches to a target, and the damage then continues over time on that target. Because it is a damage-over-time effect, the bolt keeps working after the initial hit rather than dealing all of its damage at once.

Weapons that roll it

Three weapons roll Charged Bolts: A Good Shout, Opaque Hourglass and Submersion.
