• Syndicate weapons can also be acquired via Trading, but only for unranked copies without Forma and Orokin Catalyst installed.
• Players must have a Mastery Rank of at least 12 to acquire the Telos Boltor, either through trading or through the Syndicates themselves.

Notes[]

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[]

• Installing the Boltor Incarnon Genesis requires 20  Pathos Clamps, 60  Rune Marrow, and 60  Silphsela.
• When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
  • Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

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.
  • Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either  Sonar or  Detect Vulnerability in places other than heads will have no effect either.
  • Headshots on corpses do not build charges.
  • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
• 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.

Evolution II[]

• Unlock Challenge: Complete a solo mission with this weapon equipped.
• Perk 1: Hunter's Mantra:
  • Increase Damage by +18 (Boltor) / +4 (Telos / Prime).
  • With Channeled Ability active: Punch Through +4 and +40% Accuracy.
• Perk 2: Crimson Overture:
  • Increase Damage by +12 (Boltor) / +2 (Telos / Prime).
  • On Kill: Increase Damage by +2 and +20% Ammo Efficiency for 5 seconds. Stacks up to 4x (Boltor) / 3x (Telos / Prime).

Evolution III[]

• Unlock Challenge: Kill 100 enemies with this weapon's Incarnon Form.
• Perk 1: Swift Deliverance:
  • +60% Projectile Speed.
• Perk 2: Extended Volley:
  • Increase Magazine Capacity by +20.
• Perk 3: Rapid Reinforcement:

Evolution IV[]

• Perk 1: Elemental Balance:
  • Increase Status Chance by +20% (Boltor) / +20% (Telos) / +18% (Prime).
• Perk 2: Survivor's Edge:
  • Increase Critical Chance by +8% (Boltor) / +4% (Telos) / +10% (Prime).
  • Increase Status Chance by +8% (Boltor) / +4% (Telos) / +10% (Prime).
• Perk 3: Commodore's Fortune:
  • Increase Critical Chance by +12% (Boltor) / +6% (Telos) / +14% (Prime).

Trivia[]
