Shard Scavenger is a multi-elemental Crossbow buff skill in Path of Exile 2 that rewards status effect consumption with instant reloads, grenade cooldown recovery, and temporary bolt-free firing.
"While active, Consuming Freeze, Shock, Ignite, or Fully Broken Armour on an enemy reloads your Crossbow, restores one cooldown use for your Grenades and grants a Buff causing Crossbow Attacks to not consume bolts for a duration. This can only occur once every few seconds."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Shard Scavenger gem with 5 Support Sockets.

Path of Exile 2 Shard Scavenger Mechanic FAQs
What counts as consuming a status effect?
Any skill or mechanic that removes Freeze, Shock, Ignite, or Fully Broken Armour from an enemy qualifies. This includes detonation, conversion, or conditional payoff effects.
Can the buff duration be extended?
Yes. Duration modifiers and support gems like Prolonged Duration will extend the 2-second bolt-free window.
Does the buff affect all Crossbow skills?
Yes. While active, any Crossbow Attack will not consume bolts regardless of type or modifier.
Is the cooldown affected by cooldown recovery modifiers?
No. The internal cooldown (6.1–8 seconds) is fixed and unaffected by recovery rate modifiers.
Can multiple status effects trigger the buff simultaneously?
No. The buff can only trigger once per cooldown window, even if multiple effects are consumed at once.
