I have noticed the explosion adding the elemental mods effects, like freeze and such, but for actual extra damage it's a bit hard to notice. But agreed, this mod is awesome :D on defense maps you jsut mow down groups of enemies, sure it takes 1 extra mod slot and so don't do that tiny bit of extra damage vs. Ancients or heavy gunners etc. But it saves you tons of ammo by (hopefully) blowing up 5 mobs with one shot or killing everything around the heavy unit while you're taking it down.

I've noticed, though need confirmation, that using Shred mod with this makes the arrows pierce the initial target and THEN explode, so it explodes in the middle of a pack instead of only hitting the front most target and having the explosions radius extend from there.
