CODEX

A shotgun with low accuracy and strong recoil, but able to deliver its payload in full-auto. The Boar is best used at close range.

The Boar is a Tenno automatic shotgun. Compared to other shotguns, the Boar characteristically bears less accuracy and damage per pellet. With the widest shot cone of all available shotguns, the Boar excels at fighting large groups of lightly armored enemies at close quarters, but quickly loses its effectiveness at mid-long ranges. The gun makes up for its shortcomings with its high rate of fire and larger magazine capacity.

The blueprint is dropped directly in missions as a pickup from Drekar Troopers as of Update 17.7 (2015-10-14). This weapon can be sold for 7,500 Credits 7,500.

• Strong recoil, although manageable.

Notes

• The Boar was retired from the Market as of the Update 10.3 (2013-10-09) patch but is available again as of Update 17.7.
• The listed damage is actually the total of all the pellets' damage value. The actual damage per pellet is 6.05  Impact, 1.65  Puncture, and 3.3  Slash.

Trivia

• This weapon was removed from the market since Update 10.3 (2013-10-09). Between then and Update 17.7 (2015-10-14) the only way to obtain the Boar was to purchase the Wrecking Rhino Pack bundle for 545 Platinum 545.
• The Boar resembles a riot shotgun in practice, using the same model as the  Strun shotgun for the barrel and stock, but with what can be assumed to be a larger in-line drum magazine in the center.
  • Despite the magazine being fully removable in the updated reload animation after Update 17.7, the magazine still clips through the shooter's hand since it has no unique firing position.
  • The Boar appears to have a turret magazine, as seen in the Turret gun. The experimental design had a cylinder with radial, outward facing chambers, and was quickly deemed too dangerous, since at least one chamber pointed towards the user.
• The word Boar is used to define an undomesticated pig. Much to its description, its appearance reveals a large barrel up front, noting its snout.
• During Syndicate Missions, alongside the  Sancti Castanas the New Loka Operatives will use the Boar, being the only NPC to use this weapon.
• On the model of the Boar are the words, "Danger" written on the Stock and "Evolution" written on the Drum. These are numerous examples of the Orokin Language or "Tennobet" used on Tenno weapons.
