Boltor Prime

The Boltor Prime is the Prime variant of the Boltor rifle, featuring over twice the damage and twice the accuracy, higher critical multiplier, faster fire rate, and slightly faster reload speed. Possessing one of the highest base damages out of all automatic rifles coupled with a high fire rate, the Boltor Prime can quickly mow down enemies at short to medium ranges, only hindered by its projectile nature which limits its long ranged efficiency.

On February 9th, 2016, it was announced that Boltor Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on February 16, 2016. Any preexisting components or fully-built weapons will remain as is.

Boltor Prime along with Ankyros Prime, Boar Prime, Dakra Prime, Mag Prime, and Rhino Prime were unvaulted on June 27, 2017 to August 1, 2017.
