Overview
Daniel showcases a Path of Exile 2 Mercenary grenade build that launches multiple grenades at once and detonates them manually using Explosive Shot.
Crossbow weapon perks, passive skill tree nodes, and specific gem links enhance grenade capacity, area of effect, cooldowns, and damage synergies across Oil Grenade, Explosive Grenade, and Explosive Shot.
The build faces several drawbacks, including heavy mana potion usage, vulnerability during deployment, single-target friction, lag from explosion density, and issues caused by a 10-second cooldown gem.
