Boltor

"The BOLTOR is an automatic rifle that rapidly fires heavy bolts that can pin your foes to the walls."

- In-Game Description

The BOLTOR is a Primary Assault Rifle, with a prominent damage in Puncture, available at Mastery Rank 2.

The Boltor separates itself from other assault rifles with its unique characteristic of firing bolt projectiles, instead of conventional bullets. This requires the user to integrate projectile travel into aiming at targets, as well as the projectile drift, rendering the Boltor ineffective beyond medium ranges. Despite this, the Boltor can easily punish any target within close proximity, making it an excellent close-quarters rifle.

The Boltor can be obtained by direct Platinum purchase, or built from a purchased blueprint.

This weapon can be sold for.
