How to Use the Shock 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 .

Shock Elemental Damage

This weapon can inflict Shock damage on enemies, which causes the Shocked state. The Shocked state momentarily stuns enemies allowing you to gain the upper hand. Shock elemental damage is also more effective against some enemies.
