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 Boar, featuring higher damage and fire rate, but retains its ineffectiveness in mid-long engagements.

Notes

  • The original counterpart, the Boar 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 5.85 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist.1.35 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and 1.8 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist..

Trivia

  • It was released in Update 10.0 (2013-09-13), along with the Mag PrimeIcon272 Mag Prime and DakraPrime 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 a total of 8 damage more than Boar does.

Media

Vaultings

  • 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.
