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.
The Boltor Prime's gold parts can be recolored as of Update 15.13 (2015-02-05).
