Now let me tell you about those ol’ Boltshots! Charge it up and guess what: instant shotgun. People talk about how overpowered the DMR is but in reality, it’s all about that BOLTSHOT!
THAT IS WHAT IS UP!
The boltshot is technically a power weapon, since it has a circumstance in which it can kill a fully shielded enemy in one shot.
Bad OP. I started calling it the “Bowlshit” for a reason.
I realized the true potential of the Boltshot last night. I’m reaping the benefits now lol
I didn’t understand it at first, but I like it now that I do
Active camo + boltshot = new noob combo.
Defiantly going to put it and pulse grenades on my loadouts. The Boltshot is worth it’s weight in gold.
I would be fine with the weapon if people didn’t camp corners with Active Camo with it. I can’t wait for the truly competitive playlists to come out.
Bolt shot isn’t actually all that great. Its really hard to hit within the 1sk range and the damage for it’s ranged blasts isn’t very good.
Active camo AA needs to be removed from the game.
It’s the new Bruteshot.
Boltshot is awesome.
'Nuff said.
I don’t think its that op’d, first off it can be quite hard to aim in a firefight, feels like any aim assist is completely gone when you charge it. Second, if you’re tired if active camo and the boltshot then the problem is you. Ive never had this issue, get better at figuring out where people are and learning how to scan an area before you head in. Its all in the tactics.
It’s not OP because you have to be within melee distance for it to actually be effective. And it has to charge.
To me it’s WAY to over powering… I am not a bad player or anything but I lost against the boltshot when I had the regular shotgun and the scattered shot against it… That’s saying something ? Maybe that’s just me? Because I know it shot and everything but some how it killed me first and I only just takes down the person shields.
> It’s not OP because you have to be within melee distance for it to actually be effective. And it has to charge.
You obviously haven’t been killed with it enough to know that’s a load
Regardless, there shouldn’t be a one-shot-kill weapon as a loadout choice
Inb4 grenades
I don’t recall ever getting killed by one. I had a charged up shot bounced off of my Hardlight Shield though 
I do the work of taking someone’s shields down and they turn a corner to to try to escape. No biggie, right? WRONG. I turn the corner to score the final head shot and get 1sk by a damn pistol. FML
Meh. It’s well balanced. Powerful up close but no damn range once so ever when charged and it takes a bit of your ammo to use the charge shot.

I’m sorry but why should I always have to use Promethean vision to make sure there’s not someone camping the corner crouched with a charged up Boltshot? To me it’s the same thing as the Sawed Off Shotgun in Gears 3, it just promotes people to camp corners with the weapon.
