How to Use the Hammerburst Boltblaster

Large Rapid-Fire Weapon

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 while holding .

Explosive Bolts

Explosive Bolts have a short delay before they explode and deliver tons of damage over a wider area than standard bolts. However, since they inflict explosive damage, they will destroy machine components and make them unlootable in higher difficulties.
