Path of Exile 2 Rapid Shot [Lvl 21 Sockets 5]

Rapid Shot is a Tier 5 Fire-based Crossbow Attack skill in Path of Exile 2 that builds Heat while firing and converts Physical Damage into Fire Damage. It synergizes with Grenade mechanics and rewards sustained firing.

"Load your Crossbow with a large clip of heavily modified bolts that cause Heat to build up on your crossbow, before unleashing a stream of flaming bolts that gain Fire Damage based on your Heat. Heat also grants bonus damage to Grenades you fire, but dissipates rapidly when not building up."

Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Rapid Shot gem with 5 Support Sockets.
