I'm gonna say, I've always bashed the Boltor Prime for being overpowered because it was in no way close to the general category of the other guns. We're talking up to double / triple damage here. That's an order of magnitude in Warframe.

However, the way they balanced Telos Boltor against Boltor Prime shows a sort of finesse. I mean, it isn't hard but at least it isn't overkill or dumbnerfed to bits. The damage output is just slightly lower, shorter range, but it gets the AoE damage and a better magazine for mindless carnage. The main problem now is ammo consumption because you have to stop less often.

Really, apart from this being just a cheap cash-in (same model, same everything, sold as new), the balance is actually acceptable. Aged people (like 16+) are probably wise enough not to cry about dps here.
