The Boltor is an automatic rifle that rapidly fires heavy bolts that can pin your foes to the walls. The Boltor is a  Tenno assault rifle with the characteristic of firing bolt projectiles instead of conventional bullets. This weapon requires the user to take into account projectile travel time while aiming at targets, as well as the projectile drift, making the Boltor difficult to use effectively beyond medium ranges. This weapon is a requisite ingredient for  Boltace. Characteristics[] This weapon deals primarily  Puncture damage. Bolts fired stick to their target, and will fling bodies on kill. The body will damage targets in its path. Corpses can be pinned to terrain. Advantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons): Flung bodies help in dealing with crowds. Low recoil. Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1) Above average magazine (60) Above average ammo max (540) Above average fire rate (8.75 attacks/sec) Above average disposition (●●●●○ (1.30x)) Incarnon Form (wiki attack index 2) High average number of crits per shot (0.66) Very high fire rate (10.00 attacks/sec) Above average ammo max (540) Above average disposition (●●●●○ (1.30x)) Above average crit multiplier (2.80x) Disadvantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons): Projectiles have travel time with slight arcing. Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1) Very low crit chance (10.00%) Low reload speed (2.60 s) Very low total damage (25) Low status chance (14.00%) Low crit multiplier (1.80x) Incarnon Form (wiki attack index 2) Below average average number of procs per shot (0.27) Low reload speed (2.60 s) Very low total damage (12) Below average crit chance (22.00%) Very low status chance (9.33%) See WARFRAME Wiki:Stat Comparison/Percentiles for more details.

Notes[] An update on February 5, 2013 nerfed the Boltor to have 12.5 damage per shot. Soon after it was given a slight buff to 18.0 damage per shot, which is still less than the 25 on its initial release. On December 12, 2013, it was given a buff from 18 to 25 damage, same as when it was released. Hotfix 7.7.3 (2013-04-12) addressed the issue of frame rate affecting the fire rate of weapons and several weapons have had their baseline values changed. This update reduced the firing rate value of the Boltor from 11.7 to 8.8. Incarnon Genesis[] Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn  Boltor Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Boltor with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength. Evolution[] Evolution I[] Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge. Prioritize  Slash Damage and gain Multishot. Incarnon Form turns the weapon in a rapid-fire pseudo-shotgun with 3 base multishot, increased overall damage stats, added  Slash damage, and slightly faster fire rate, but with lower accuracy resulting in a shotgun-like spread pattern. Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed. Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 20 headshots will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form. Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Boltor's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 8 rounds to a maximum of 160. Once all ammunition is expended, the Boltor reverts to its normal form. Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods. Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as  Energized Munitions). Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death. Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.
