Boar

"A shotgun with low accuracy and strong recoil, but able to deliver its payload in full-auto. The BOAR is best used at close range."

- In-Game Description

The Boar resembles a riot shotgun in practice. Compared to other shotguns, the Boar's bears characteristically less accuracy and less damage per pellet. With the widest shot cone of all available shotguns, the Boar excels at fighting large groups of lightly armored enemies at close range; against armored enemies or when fighting at any sort of range however, the Boar quickly loses effectiveness. The gun makes up for its shortcomings with its high rate of fire and larger magazine capacity, giving the Boar a high damage per second and making it a viable weapon. This weapon was removed from the market since Update 10.4.0.

This weapon can be sold for.

Tips

 * The Boar suffers from ammunition inefficiency. The amount of ammunition supplied by a shotgun ammo pickup is the same as its base magazine size, which can be emptied quickly with the trigger held down. Count your shells, and pick your targets.
 * The inclusion of an armor penetration mod is recommended against tougher armored enemies, especially against the Grineer.
 * It is suggested to use a long range sidearm such as the Lex due to the fact that the Boar has bad range fighting capabilities.
 * Using the Shotgun Ammo Mutation mod can help regain ammo when needed.

Trivia

 * There is a Primed Version of the Boar shotgun that was released in Update 10 along with Mag Prime.
