Vaultings[edit | edit source]
- On February 9th, 2016, it was announced that Boltor Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on February 16, 2016. Any preexisting components or fully-built weapons will remain as is.
- Boltor Prime along with
Ankyros Prime,
Boar Prime,
Dakra Prime,
Mag Prime, and Rhino Prime were unvaulted on June 27, 2017 to August 1, 2017.
- Boltor Prime, along with
Ankyros Prime,
Hikou Prime,
Scindo Prime,
Nyx Prime, and
Rhino Prime, was once again unvaulted on July 24, 2018 to September 25, 2018. It resurfaced again together with the same line-up from July 16th, 2019 to September 3rd, 2019.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- The lack of
Slash damage means that the mods
Sawtooth Clip and
Fanged Fusillade will have no effect on this weapon.
- The innate
polarity matches
Primed Cryo Rounds.
- Due to its above average status chance, users will often use
Rime Rounds instead of Cryo Rounds to make
Viral or
Magnetic damage, which requires a
polarity.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- The Boltor Prime has a knockback effect on kill that can be used instead of Punch Through so the mod slot can be used for something else.
- The knockback works in tandem with Punch Through mods, making a Boltor Prime with
Shred or
Metal Auger quite effective when fired against lines of enemies as it both punches through them and knocks any killed enemies back into the line.
- The knockback works in tandem with Punch Through mods, making a Boltor Prime with
Trivia[edit | edit source]

- Compared to previous Prime weapons, the Boltor and the Boltor Prime have a much closer resemblance to each other.
- The Boltor Prime's gold parts can be recolored as of Update 15.13.
