— In-game description

Notes

• When aiming at targets very close to you (melee range or such), the path of the projectile can sometimes result in no useful pierce effect at all - the attack will be angled too far vertically, either striking the ground and disappearing or flying up into the sky. This can often be avoided by aiming at an enemy further along the line.
• Special effects, such as knockback from Point-Blank Shot, trigger on each target hit.
• In the first beta weekend event, Piercing Arrows granted the effect  Piercing Arrows to the player.
