BluberryKnoob Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Is the boltor. I have chucked a maxed speed trigger on it, a maxed wildfire, a med-level serration, maxed cryo rounds and maxed shred on it, 100% crit chance mod (forget the name), a rifle aptitude and vital sense. Now it is just soooo much fun against corpus, grineer or infested. Due to the punch through, it can demolish entire waves of enemies very quickly! Edit: I have potatoed it.

IIJetfireII Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Boltor is and has always been, the one of the many fav weapons since dmg 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapt0rman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah, the boltor is awesome. Though you'll get more out of it if you replace the crit chance, crit damage, and status chance mods, as none of those base stats are high enough to get any benefit from modding (especially since rifle aptitude is only 10%) Edited March 2, 2014 by rapt0rman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormandreas Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Sorry but the puncture doesn't actually work on bolt weapons like the Boltor, Bolto, Paris etc. (at least not last time I checked). It's still a good mod though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCometCE Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Storm: they fixed punch through on them back in U9 or so (U10? it was awhile ago) The boltor was the original god tier weapon back in the early open beta days, nice to see it still has some users :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapt0rman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) i recommend you try it then :) (potato for best results) well, potato AND forma for best results, something like this: http://warframe-builder.com/Primary_Weapons/Builder/Boltor/t_30_22220330_132-2-5-134-3-5-137-0-10-138-5-5-141-6-5-149-7-5-150-1-10-163-4-3_137-7-150-8-132-8-134-6-163-9-138-6-141-6-149-9/en/2-0-1 I haven't done that with my boltor though, I'm saving my effort for when boltor prime comes out someday.

Oriviagene Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My first crafted rifle :') Too bad it's vastly overpowered by other stronger weapon :( But it's a nice weapons and I love to "coloring" walls with corpses And the only thing I cudn't accept from boltor is why the hell it has default defensive polarity slot??? cyro rounds and rifle apt is not worth to be halved >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartumterek Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Dont know if this is still the case, but elemental mods used to wipe out the pinning action as that was considered the same type of effect...

Desgax Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I enjoyed it quite a bit when I originally leveled it up for Mastery. Rumor has it that a prime version is coming out soon due to it being the only older primary without a prime variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice build, very close to mine, will try it out, but... see below .. Boltor best used with nonelemental mod setup Pretty much. Thread title edited for clarity and moved to the proper section. Man, you guys are a bizzy bunch! Love my Boltor. shame that I have to use a grineer weapoon, Karak, to go against corpus. I like the idea of, using Tenno weapons, no other faction weapons, after all, I am tenno.... I guess I will have to wait.... soma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) -snip- Boltor is definitely not best used with a non-elemental setup (actually, not a single weapon in this game is best used with a non-elemental setup) , the issue that Kartumaterek was referring to was from early beta and has long since been fixed.

Camarouge Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Boltor and Magnus are my go-to sidearms. I take them with me when I need reliable damage on just about any enemy, especially if I'm using a new/S#&$ty main wep. Although, the Marelok is picking up speed, too...

OpusRelinque Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Boltor only lacks on magazin size, with lets say 80mag i wouldnt use any boring(in visual and gameplay design) OP Soma anymore. Boltor, Despair - u get nailed mobs everywhere ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryjeon Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 wait does boltor have built in punch through? If so...my faith in WF has just been restored (for another 24h) :P It doesn't have punch-through but it does send corpses flying so as you kill a group the front enemies don't become human shields. Because of this I don't think punch-through mods are necessary for dealing with crowds and you can use more elemental mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
