I actually prefer the Braton for all-purpose stuff, and the Boltor for high-wave defence. I guess that's a bit strange but the Braton can comfortably engage enemies at more or less any range for consistent medium'ish DPS (obviously mitigated by armor, unfortunately...but nothing except high-wave defence really throws enemies at you where this actually makes a significant difference). Its above-average fire rate, hitscan properties, and ability to burst-fire or go automatic at a moments notice make it quite versatile for both aiming at weak spots over any distance or just bullet-hosing if you don't feel like it / don't need to.

The boltor can be "uncomfortable" to use at range, but compensates for it with stopping power. The travel time can be a bit rough to get used to as well unless you use it really often, but even then the projectile spread make it awkward to use over distance. If it didn't have armor ignore it would, of course, be completely outclassed by the Braton, and it's this very property that makes it better for high-wave defence.
