This is a VERY fun weapon. It does need at least 30% armor piercing damage to work against Grineer, but once you have that, and especially after some other damage mods, it's a beast and very fun to use. Even the accuracy isn't as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be. The single problem with this weapon is running out of ammo, but even that doesn't happen all that often if you don't spray entire clips at single grunts. Quick tap-fire is better than full auto for efficiency and ammo conservation. Even that way the Boar fires much, much faster than Strun. Now, if I could only get the cold damage mod to drop, as then this would go from beastly to insane :P

I was originally torn about whether to get this or the Strun. Well, I originally went for Strun, but with the - as of writing - current patch providing a lot more credits I was able to afford both. Both are good and fun, but I think Boar's more fun while the Strun's more economical. Strun struggles a bit more with swarms, as while it can oneshot things, it's harder to saturate a number of targets at once due to the lower firing speed.
