Path of Exile 2 High Velocity Rounds Mechanic FAQs

Can High Velocity Rounds break enemy Armour on its own?

No. This skill cannot break Armour—it only consumes Fully Broken Armour for bonus damage. Use other skills or supports to break Armour first.

How does Overwhelm interact with Physical Damage Reduction?

Overwhelm reduces the effectiveness of enemy Physical Damage Reduction, allowing more of your damage to penetrate defenses.

Do all bolts benefit from the Armour Broken bonus?

Only bolts that hit enemies with Fully Broken Armour will gain the bonus damage. Piercing through multiple targets does not guarantee bonus damage unless Armour is broken.

Does Knockback affect projectile trajectory or pierce count?

No. Knockback applies after impact and does not interfere with projectile pathing or pierce behavior.

Can High Velocity Rounds be supported by Ricochet or Ammo Conservation gems?

Yes. Ricochet enhances multi-target coverage, while Ammo Conservation increases clip efficiency and uptime.
