CONCLAVE (PvP)

The Boar Prime is the Prime version of the Boar, featuring higher damage, critical chance, critical damage, status chance, and fire rate, but retains its ineffectiveness in mid-long engagements.

On June 29, 2015, it was announced that the Boar Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on July 7, 2015. Any preexisting components or fully-built weapons would remain as is.

Boar Prime, along with Mag Prime and Dakra Prime, was again accessible from June 28th 2016 to July 26th, 2016 when the Prime Vault was unsealed.

Boar Prime, Dakra Prime, Mag Prime, Rhino Prime, Ankyros Prime, and Boltor Prime vaults were unsealed on June 27th, 2017 to August 1st, 2017.

CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals primarily Impact damage.

Advantages:

• High Impact damage – effective against shields.
• High fire rate.
• High magazine size.
• Good critical chance.
• Very high status chance.
  • Can achieve 100% status per pellet with Scattering Inferno, Frigid Blast, Shell Shock and Toxic Barrage.
• Wide spread is ideal for crowd control.

Disadvantages:

• Low Puncture damage and Slash damage – less effective against armor and health.
• Linear damage falloff from 100% to 30% from 18m to 25m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Before 100% status chance, the listed status chance is the base chance per shot that at least one pellet will proc a status; the actual base status chance per pellet is ~4.36%.
• Very slow reload speed.
• Ammo inefficient.
• Strong recoil, although manageable. 

Comparisons:

• Boar Prime, compared to Boar:
  • Higher base damage (320.0 vs. 176.0)
    • Higher Impact damage (208.0 vs. 96.8)
    • Higher Puncture damage (48.0 vs. 26.4)
    • Higher Slash damage (64.0 vs. 52.8)
  • Higher critical chance (15% vs. 10%)
  • Higher critical multiplier (2x vs. 1.5x)
  • Higher status chance (30% vs. 20%)
  • Higher fire rate (4.67 rounds/sec vs. 4.17 rounds/sec)
  • Longer range before damage falloff starts (18m vs. 15m)
  • Larger max damage reduction due to falloff (70% vs. 50%)
  • Slower reload speed (2.75 s vs. 2.7 s)
  • Higher Mastery Rank required (11 vs. 2)

Weapon LoadoutsEdit

• For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.

NotesEdit

• It is possible to reach 100% status chance with the Boar Prime before the use of multishot mods (Which will result in a real 100% status chance per pellet).
• The original counterpart, the Boar, was removed from the market in Update 10.4, making the Boar Prime the first prime weapon to phase out its predecessor.
  • The Boar was added back into circulation in Update 17.7, several updates after the Boar Prime was removed from Void drop tables.
• The listed damage is actually the total of all the pellets' damage value. The actual damage per pellet is 13.29  Impact, 3.07  Puncture and 4.09  Slash.
• Along with various other shotguns, the Boar Prime's stats were increased with Update 17.0, however several aspects were nerfed, specifically reload speed, fire rate, and status chance.

TipsEdit

• Using the Shotgun Scavenger aura, Ammo Case, Team Ammo Restore, and/or the Shotgun Ammo Mutation mod is highly recommended due to the weapon's high fire rate. It tends to chew through ammo quickly, especially when modded. Also, using Carrier's Ammo Case can assist with retaining and regaining ammo.

TriviaEdit

• It was released in Update 10.0, along with the Mag Prime and Dakra Prime.
• Its central drum section rotates when firing (not that obvious as it is quite fast) and reloading, making it a non-static model.
• The Boar Prime, along with the Dakra Prime, is specifically mentioned as being a Tenno creation, unlike other Prime items said to be created by the Orokin.
• Boar Prime's description incorrectly states it increases magazine size and fire rate at the cost of damage in comparison to regular Boar. It does have increased fire rate, but the magazine size is the same and Boar Prime deals a total  of 8 damage more than Boar does.
