Projectiles are entities created by attack and spells that move along a trajectory and can hit other entities. They typically travel in a straight line from point A to point B.
General Mechanics
This section outlines the rules governing projectile behavior and interactions with other mechanics and entities.
Trajectory
By default, Projectiles will travel in a straight line from point A to point B in the direction of the cursor.
A projectile is destroyed when:
- It reaches its targeted destination.
- It travels the maximum flight distance. (150 units by default in Path of Exile)
- Its duration ends.
- It collides with an entity, terrain, or walls.
Different trajectories exist in some skills:
- Random: projectiles change their direction constantly in a random direction.

- Homing projectiles: projectiles that can change their direction towards enemies. (see the Path of Exile 1 skill gem, Soulrend)

Ground projectiles can only traverse "walkable" terrain and cannot travel over low-height obstacles or gaps or ledges.
Certain skills have a "ground-targeted" aim, firing projectiles at the ground near the player's cursor.
- Concoction skills
- Grenade skills
A subset of these "ground-targeted" skills fire their projectiles skyward, landing at the target location instead. They are sometimes referred to as "rain" skills. These projectiles cannot collide with entities and cannot be affected by other projectile behaviours. The projectiles hit in an area on hitting the ground.
- Rain of Arrows
- Tornado Shot
Different projectiles have a base speed, which can vary depending on the skill and can be increased by other sources, such as modifiers, passive skills and support gems. Such as Projectile Acceleration IProjectile Acceleration ISupport, ProjectileCategory: Projectile SpeedTier: 1Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 120%Support Requirements: +5 DexSupports Projectile skills, making those Projectiles travel faster.Supported Skills have 40% more Projectile SpeedPlace into a Skill's Support Gem socket in the Skills Panel to apply its effects to that Skill.

Contrary to popular belief, Projectile Speed DOES NOT increase range in PoE 2 (like it does in PoE 1).
Interactions
Additional to dealing damage to enemies, projectiles can be influenced by other mechanics
Additional Projectiles
Different sources that grant a chance for spells to fire additional projectiles calculate those chances independently.
- For example: if there is an 80% chance to fire 2 additional projectiles, and Wildshards support, there is a 16% (80%*20%) chance to fire 11 projectiles (1 base + 2 + 8 wildshards)
Several sources grant skills additional projectiles, enhancing their effectiveness and AoE.
- Some skills may modify the trajectory and behavior of the additional projectiles.
Player projectile skills will always fire at least 1 projectile, even if projectile count should be reduced to 0.
When using a skill that fires multiple projectiles, they can be fired in patterns:
- Cone: The default pattern for a skill that only has additional projectiles without a specific pattern. The cone angle narrows as the aiming distance increases to a minimum angle.
- Spiral: will fire projectiles sequentially from right to left in a circle around the user at fixed angles. Additional projectiles typically increase the rotation of the spiral.
- Circle: will fire projectiles simultaneously around the user at equidistant angles based on the number of projectiles.
Collision
When a projectile collides with an enemy or another entity, it either ends or continues based on one of the projectile behaviors described below.
If multiple projectiles are fired simultaneously, only one of them can collide with the same target, unless otherwise stated (e.g. Freezing Shards) or if the skills states the projectiles can Merge (e.g. Fragmentation Rounds).
This does not apply to projectiles fired in sequence, allowing them to hit the same target.
Projectile behaviours follow a specific order:
- Cannot Collide: Prevents projectiles from hitting enemies while in flight and prevents other behavours. Projectiles can still hit the enemy if they have an area of effect component that either do not require collision or occurs when hitting the ground or terrain (e.g. walls).
- Split: Causes projectiles to each fire towards multiple targets within 6 metres after hitting an initial target. Split projectiles that have no valid targets will fire in random directions.
- Pierce: Allows projectiles to continue their trajectory after hitting an entity on their path. Piercing can occur up to N times. Each pierce has an independent chance to occur.
- Fork: Causes projectiles to create two copies upon hitting a target. These copies are fired at a fixed angle from the target hit by the original projectile.
- Chain: Redirects a single projectile to the nearest target within chain range that has not been hit by other projectiles from the same group. Chaining can occur up to N times per projectile.
- Terrain Chain: Projectiles can have a chance to chain from walls and terrain (e.g. with Ricochet IRicochet ISupport, ProjectileCategory: RicochetTier: 2Support Requirements: +5 DexSupports any Skill which creates Projectiles, giving those Projectiles a chance to Chain when impacting terrain.Projectiles from Supported Skills have 40% chance to Chain an additional time from terrainPlace into a Skill's Support Gem socket in the Skills Panel to apply its effects to that Skill. You cannot have multiple Support Gems of the same Category socketed within one Skill.). This chain is separate from regular chaining and can occur without any remaining chains.
Additional projectiles created by splits or forks are considered continuations of the original projectile, sharing the maximum travel distance and are unable to hit a previously hit target unless otherwise stated.
The following are miscellaneous projectile behaviours:
- Bounce: Allows projectiles to bounce from walls or terrain in a random direction. Not to be confused with Chain, which requires a target within chain range. However, certain skills may gain convert additional chains into additional bounces.
- AOE: Some skills throw projectiles that trigger their effects on an area of effect when they are destroyed, reach end of flight, and/or collide with entities. Projectiles that only deal an area effect when the projectile is destroyed will not proc the AOE when the projectile pierces, chains, or forks.
Whenever a projectile collides, it will attempt each of its remaining behaviors
- Projectile behaviors occur in the following order, if applicable:
- Pierce
- A projectile first hits a target and splits towards a second target.
- The projectile pierces the next N targets. If a projectile can pierce indefinitely, further behaviors will never activate. Terrain cannot be pierced.
- The next target on its path that does not get pierced causes the projectile to fork into two projectiles.
- The forked projectiles then chain N times until no valid targets remain or chaining is exhausted.
Different behaviors cannot occur simultaneously; the priority order determines how they occur.
