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.
Piercing Bolts are a type of piercing ammo that can be used to penetrate through enemy armor and deal damage to components underneath. However, they do little to no damage to the armor itself.
