Boar Prime

The Boar Prime is an upgrade to the standard Boar in most aspects as of update 11.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily Impact Damage.

Advantages:
 * High rate of fire.
 * Higher rate of fire than non-primed Boar.
 * High critical chance and damage (higher than non-primed version), ideal for critical builds.
 * Larger magazine size than the non-primed Boar.
 * Fully automatic.
 * Wide spread is ideal for fighting large crowds of weak units.
 * High pellet count.
 * Very high status chance (however this is per shot, not per pellet, thus you divide the status chance by the number of pellets to get the per pellet chance, as with all shotguns)

Disadvantages:
 * Damage drops off over distance (inherent of all shotguns).
 * Slow reload speed (average among shotguns).
 * No polarities.
 * Poor ammo economy.
 * Strong recoil, although it is managable.
 * Wide spread can be ideal for crowds but this in turn lowers effective range, requiring closer combat situations.

Acquisition
The Boar Prime blueprint and its components can be gathered from Orokin Void and Orokin Derelict.

See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

Tips

 * Using the Shotgun Scavenger Aura, Team Ammo Restore, and/or the Shotgun Ammo Mutation mod is highly recommended due to the weapon's high fire rate which will chew through ammo quickly, especially when modded.
 * Due to weak effect of critical shotgun mods Elemental Mods still scale better despite good innate crit chance and damage values.

Trivia

 * It was released in Update 10, along with the Mag Prime.
 * Its barrel section rotates when firing (not that obvious as it is quite fast) and reloading, making it a non-static model.
