Volatile Marksman is an Artifact Perk.

Acquisition

Unlocked on tier 2 of the Tablet of Ruin Seasonal Artifact.

Usage

While this perk is unlocked, rapid Void.png Void weapon precision hits and rapid Void weapon final blows grant Volatile Rounds for 10 seconds. There is no cooldown on this effect, allowing players to maintain 100% uptime on Volatile Rounds by continuously chaining kills or precision hits.

When Volatile Rounds are active, hitting enemies will cause them to become Volatile, causing them to explode and spread Void damage to nearby opponents upon death.

BOOST Effect

To activate the BOOST effect, players must activate a ritual in the Tome of Want (found in inventory → accessories). This requires slotting items in the ritual slots and activating the ritual. While the ritual is active and this perk is unlocked, Volatile detonations will grant approximately 5% class ability energy.

Synergies

This perk works particularly well with other Void-focused artifact perks:

  • Maligned Harvest - Grants a 15% Weaken debuff after triggering Volatile five times
  • Void Flux - Applies Volatile to nearby enemies when killing weakened targets with Void weapons

Void users skilled with precision weapons can maintain consistent Volatile uptime, making this perk especially effective for add-clear and crowd control situations.
