Boar

The Boar is a Tenno automatic shotgun. Compared to other shotguns, the Boar characteristically bears less accuracy and 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 quarters, but quickly loses its effectiveness in mid-long range. The gun makes up for its shortcomings with its high rate of fire and larger magazine capacity.

This weapon was removed from the market since Update 10.4.0. Currently, the only way to obtain the Boar is to purchase the Wrecking Rhino Pack bundle for 545. 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.
 * 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.
 * Alternatively, use Shotgun Scavenger  or Team Ammo Restores.

Trivia

 * The Boar resembles a riot shotgun in practice.
 * The word Boar is used to define an undomesticated pig. Much to its description, its appearance reveals a large barrel up front, noting its snout.
 * There is a Primed version of the Boar shotgun that was released in Update 10 along with Mag Prime.
