How to Use the The Blast Forge

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 .

This legendary weapon deals significantly more damage than most other Boltblasters in the game, and has several perks which grant many benefits in combat.

Piercing and Explosive Bolts

This Boltblaster can use both Piercing Bolts and Explosive Bolts, which make it an incredibly versatile weapon against many targets since it can inflict massive damage over a larger area and pierce through armor.
