CODEX

One of the finest examples of Tenno craftsmanship, the Boar Prime offers a higher rate of fire and clip size with a slight decrease in per-shot damage .

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.

Notes

• 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 (2013-10-16), making the Boar Prime the first prime weapon to phase out its predecessor.
  • The Boar was added back into circulation in Update 17.7 (2015-10-14), 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 , 3.07  and 4.09 .
• Along with various other shotguns, the Boar Prime's stats were increased with Update 17.0 (2015-07-31), however several aspects were nerfed, specifically reload speed, fire rate, and status chance.

Tips

• 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.

Trivia

• It was released in Update 10.0 (2013-09-13), 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 8 total damage more than Boar does.
