How to Use the Icestorm Boltblaster

Large Rapid-Fire Weapon

Boltblasters HFW

The Boltblaster is a rapid-fire weapon that unleashes a barrage of bolts on an enemy at any range, but it cannot tear off components. The rate of fire increases when the weapon is fully drawn.

Due to its large size, you cannot sprint or dodge while holding a Boltblaster, so it will need to be stowed away before performing any evasive maneuvers. It is also the only weapon that needs to be manually loaded with ammo before it can be used.

To load a Bolblaster, press Squaresize:20x20 while holding L2.

Elemental Damage

Frost Damage HFW

This weapon can inflict Frost damage, Plasma damage, and Shock damage on enemies. Elemental damage applies additional effects on their targets, such as dealing damage over time or making them more vulnerable to attacks. Certain types of elemental damage are also more effective against some enemies.

Deal More Damage in Concentration and at Long-Range

This weapon has a perk which increases its damage while in concentration, and when upgraded, it also increases its damage against enemies that are further away. These perks make it a great Boltblaster for long-range combat. You can increase the effectiveness of these perks by upgrading your weapon.
