Tips

  • 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 Mod TT 20px Shred or Mod TT 20px 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.

Notes

  • Up until Hotfix 12.4.3 (2014-03-10), Rifle Ammo Mutation did not work for this gun.
  • The lack of Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage means that the mods Mod TT 20px Sawtooth Clip and Mod TT 20px Fanged Fusillade will have no effect on this weapon.
  • The innate Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. polarity matches Mod TT 20px Primed Cryo Rounds.
  • Due to its above average status chance, users will often use Mod TT 20px Rime Rounds instead of Cryo Rounds to make Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage, which requires a Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. polarity.

Trivia

  • Boltor Prime is the sixth primed Primary weapon ever released.
  • Compared to previous Prime weapons, the Boltor and the Boltor Prime have a much closer resemblance to each other.
    • A possible explanation is the manufacturing faction. The Boltor is a Tenno produced weapon, like, for example, the Braton Braton.
  • The Boltor Prime's gold parts can be recolored as of Update 15.13 (2015-02-05).
