[Shoot] : Hold to fire grenades. Release to detonate all live grenades simultaneously. Grenades stick to surfaces and set targets on fire. Defeating targets creates Arc explosions.

Prospector allows the user to stack multiple sticky grenades on a target and then detonate them all at once. In terms of boss DPS this doesn't change its output, and Prospector is a middle of the road damage option. The advantage of this exotic perk is that it can be used to bypass champion mechanics by stacking enough grenades on a target and exploding them all at once to deal lethal damage to the target without it activating its champion ability.
