Bolt Sniper Rifle
The weapon Needs a buff and more ammo, it is an awesome and fun weapon tho at higher difficulties its useless or just Not enought.

when compared to the other options you notice that there is no advantage but the fact that it shoots faster then the Las fusil, but when you compare them in battle the Las fusil wins in every way, the long wait to charge the round in my experience improves your aim since you have the time to ajust or cancel in the last second and hit your targets more frequently or avoid wasting ammo.

The bolt sniper rifle has less ammunition available even on the relic level, overall less damage, has less penetration obviously and it needs to reload when the Las doesn't

It is a fun weapon on lower difficulties but on anything higher then average its not worth it when compared to other options even the stalker variant win in anywat against i see no advantage to even use the weapon but from the fun factor

It was supposed to be the signature weapon of the eliminators class(sniper) should have explosive rounds or different types of bolts available but its just a less worth it stalker
bolt rifle with less ammunition and a more zoomed in scope and a way higher change to miss completly when firing from the hip.

I wont include the stalker versions because it has more ammunition overall
and its Firepower is 12 on relic level the lack of those 2 other points when compare to the Bolt sniper rifle doesnt make a difference since the stalker bolt rifle wins back in the ability to put more round down range faster and in being more versitile in close range(its actually more usefull this way too + you can aim withought looking down the scope direcly).


Thank you for reading till this point if you did.

My point here again is ... the weapon is fun on lower difficulties but i wouldnt recomend on higher difficulties unless you really know where to place your shots and not miss overall the Las Fusil would be more rewarding and helpfull to your teamates

I really belive this weapon should have either a buff on its firepower and introduce the explosive effect when you hit a target anywhere or have more ammo reserves including the perks.

I do not like that taking extra ammo feels mandatory on the bolt sniper rifle.

I like the bolt. I hit my headshots. Fast shoot means more rolling. Quickscoping flamethrower heretics for stagger while rolling between shots. Ruthless difficulty. With ammo perks the ammo is fine
