I like to use the boltshot as an alternative shotgun, but I think it’s too weak! The shotgun blast needs to cool down. It would be better if you could use it twice, fast afer eachother!
Also the semi-auto is too weak! It takes a whole clip to take someone down!
I think it would be best if there was no cooldown, and the semi-auto would be as strong as the pistol! That would be best!
Whoops, didnt want to post. Wanted to edit
Exclamation points!
Anyway. Yes, I believe the non-overcharged shot needs to be buffed, if not by only a bit. I believe the overcharge is fine the way it is. It isn’t meant to be a shotgun replacement.
I love using the boltshot as a last resort method in close quarters.
Fine the way it is, in my opinion.
I extremely disagree with OP I think it is fine how it is.

Thats how it is balanced. A loadout gun capable of a one hit kill should not also be as good as the magnum at range.
The boltshot needs no buff of any sort. Its overcharge should on the other hand be nerfed.

No, the semiauto sux monkeys! It should be stronger!
Ya OP, it’s too weak.
It needs to shoot rockets.

Now I did. I posted before you edited. I still think it should be stronger! Semiauto is srs crap. It takes a full clip to kill someone in semiauto!

Why stop at rockets? Put a miniature Incineration cannon on that -Yoink!-!

Not THAT strong! Although it would be cool!!
^^^ That would be cool^^^ (post above me)

Still not strong enough for OP.

Hence why I said:

Is this a joke. Bolts hot needs a nerf
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help but laugh at that title!
Boltshot needs to have a quicker kill time than the DMR. That gun is too OP’d.
In my personal opinion, the Boltshot needs the semi-auto to be buffed, while the charged shot needs to be nerfed just so that it isn’t a complete one-shot weapon. Of all the noob combos the Boltshot charge up is the fastest and most efficient at close range, even the plasma pistol melee takes time and the plasma pistol charge up has had the time increased on it. Meanwhile the semi-auto is nearly ignored by all players and only sees any use if the player had already dropped the enemy’s shields in which the magnum is probably a better choice.
Again, just my opinion.
In all seriousness, the weapon itself is balanced very well. I just think the 1sk range is too large. For me it seems it’s larger than scattershot’s 1sk range.
You can get easy double kill with charge, make that overkill if you have dexterity. With dexterity, it’s way easier to overkill with boltshot than with automatic weapons. As a downfall of that, the non-charged fire is only god as a finishing weapon. It takes exactly the whole magazine to take down shields (=no kill without reloading). Sure, it’s pretty fast, but not effective, since you can kill with 5 shots when charged. As finishing weapon, it’s better than magnum, since it has faster firerate. Hell, at close range, it’s better than carbine.
> Is this a joke. Bolts hot needs a nerf
No, im serious! Ever had a semiauto boltshot kill??
