Path of Exile 2 Snipe Mechanics FAQs

Does Snipe always Critically Strike on explosion?

Yes. If released at full charge, the explosion portion of Snipe always Critically Strikes, regardless of your base crit chance.

Can Snipe be used with Barrage setups?

Yes. Snipe is Barrageable, but only one arrow can be charged and released per channel cycle. Barrage setups must time releases carefully.

Does Attack Speed affect Snipe's damage or cooldown?

Attack Speed affects Snipe's mana cost and channel rate, but not the damage directly. Faster attack speed allows quicker charge cycles.

Is Snipe compatible with Mirage Archer?

Yes. Mirage Archer can channel and release Snipe, but timing is less precise. Damage may vary depending on AI release timing.

Does Snipe snapshot stats or update dynamically?

Snipe snapshots your stats at the moment of release. Buffs or gear changes during channeling do not affect the final shot.

Can Snipe's explosion apply ailments like Bleed or Chill?

Yes, if supported by relevant gems or gear. However, Snipe's hits cannot Freeze or Stun enemies.
