0 0_The_F00l Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I feel the Telos variant us better. Boltor prime is OK, but it will be easily outpaced by other weapons. Reason: projectile based, Status weapon with no slash, Low Crit, Low accuracy after mid range, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 taiiat Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) is this Gun good? sure, it will Kill Enemies fine. if you're looking for an Assault Rifle it will serve fine. fills a Raw Damage + Status role, in the Assault Rifles. however Telos Boltor is kinda situated to be better via featuring good Crits and still plenty of Status (more than enough to debuff Enemies or w/e).

Shotgun type Weapons being an odd exception, to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you genuinely like The Boltor Prime it actually does perform more or less simarly to Telos Boltor. Use which ever you have mods you make work.... You don't even need High Voltage.... well... I mean... you will later on but for Level 110 and below its not needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wanting to know I there was a way to make it work, unaware that the Telos Boltor was just better. Haing grwbbed that, I know its way better. Thanks all for the suggestions and swaying me to a better weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Spyro_Haze Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 As people said, it will do its job, but crit or slash proc oriented weapons are simply better. Rubico or good old Braton work way better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 evilChair Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 100% SC with high viral and high puncture. Either this, or the same but with Cryo Rounds and Infected Clip replaced with Split Chamber and Vig Armaments. Puncture and Viral should take care of lightly-armoured targets and those two plus rad of heavies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Viral Effect not the Actual Viral Damage Itself.... you can replace Cryo Rounds and Infected clip with Stormbringer and Hellfire.... you will still proc Viral but gain the bonus 75% Damage effectiveness of Radiation against Alloy Armor. 4 minutes ago, evilChair said: also affects grineer units across the board. Yes it does but with the amount of armor enemies have the effect is barely noticeable.... Since you already have Piercing Caliber you're already getting 50% bonus against Ferrite Armor.... which I think is good if you're not using corrosive... 8 minutes ago, evilChair said: btw, speaking of damage types, which one cracks a nox helmet faster - puncture or impact? No idea.... I would also like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be frank - I never really understood how armour filters damage to deduced health and whether viral circumvents armour to some extent. I've seen the armour scaling/damage reduction equations but it was never clear to me whether rad amplifies the damage dealt through alloy armour, or whether somehow alloy armour deduces health in a separate equation after receiving rad to itself. Meanwhile the Corpus health/shields distinction is so clear-cut that toxin damage to any corpus unit is easily precalculable on any level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 svegurok Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Sorry but not using Split Chamber and Vigilante Armamets and instead using Piercing Caliber and too many Status mods is realy bad. https://tennoware.com/primaryweapons/boltor prime/111010023k410l905n705j210f903h103m305i610v way better build for Boltor Prime.
