Boltor Prime

The Boltor Prime is the Prime version of the Boltor projectile rifle, released in Update 12.4. Its bolts' flight time requires compensation, making this weapon more difficult to use at longer ranges. Despite this, the Boltor can easily punish close-range targets. Its high Puncture damage makes it an excellent close-quarters rifle against the Grineer.
