==Tips==
 
*Since it has medium ammo economy, mods like {{M|Rifle Ammo Mutation}} or {{M|Ammo Drum}} can be used to gain extra ammo if needed, or alternatively, a [[Team Ammo Restore]] can be used. another option would be to use Carrier's [[Ammo Case]].
 
*The Boltor Prime has a knockback effect on kill that can be used instead of [[Punch Through]] to save an additional mod slot.
 
**The knockback works with Punch Through mods, making a Boltor Prime with {{M|Shred}} or {{M|Metal Auger}} devastating when fired against lines of enemies as it both punches through them and knocks any killed enemies back into the line.

*Due to its above average [[status chance]], users will often use {{M|Rime Rounds}} instead of [[Cryo Rounds]] to make {{Icon|Proc|Viral|text}} or {{Icon|Proc|Magnetic|text}} damage, which requires a {{Icon|Pol|V}} polarity.
 
*A status build proves to be effective after the recent Mega-Buff update, in which the Boltor Prime received a large buff to its status chance.
