Vaultings[]

Notes[]
- 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.

- 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.
