Trait
Explosive Head
Arrows explode after a short delay.
Overview
Explosive Head makes Arrows explode a short delay after landing. Impact damage drops to 50% of normal, and the explosion deals 50% of the original impact damage in PvP and 65% in PvE. The explosion scales with precision hits.
The perk is a PvE damage perk. In PvE it nets about +15% damage over a bow without it. Rampage only boosts impact damage, so it does not boost the explosion.
