Boltor Prime

Please note that this page is a work in progress and is currently mostly based on the information for the Boltor

The Boltor Prime is the Prime version of the Boltor projectile rifle, released in Update 12.4. This requires the user to take into account projectile travel time while aiming at targets, as well as the projectile drift, which renders the Boltor Prime largely ineffective beyond medium ranges for most users. Despite this, the Boltor can still easily punish close-range targets. Its high Puncture damage makes it an excellent close-quarters rifle against the Grineer.
