I really don't think you tested this weapon properly.

1) It CAN be a sniper, and it CAN 1 shot armored targets with ease.

2) Paris is no more suitable to arrow spamming given they share a max ammo size.

3) x3 vs infested actually works wonders if say, the pod is being attacked and you need to hit something immediately. Properly loaded out a snapshot will 1 shot light infested for many waves at places like xini.

4) Believe it or not if you shoot an ancients weakspot with dread, it does more damage? My dread lvl 30 supercharged 1 shots ancients up to lvl 80 and I dont even have split chamber or thunderbolt.

5) Both paris and dread can multihit, although it is true dread has some issues with piercing.

6) Comparing dread to any of those weapons besides Paris is silly in the first place, but I'll bite. Boltor is an amazing weapon but I don't think you'll be 1 shotting ancients from across the map with it (well before they can even be an issue, see toxics and disruptor packs). Boar is....is that even worth a comparison, seriously? If I want to mass kill basic infested I'll use a single charge attack, and bringing a boar to an ancient fight is like......bringing a knife hilt to a nuke fight.

with the same dread, I can also kill HEK in 4-5 arrows, can your boltor do that from across a room? can your boar do that period, at any distance?
