Tac Marines! What's your favorite bolter?

[Dale's Dead Bug]

I know, I know, but we doing it.

Have you had a chance to level up a few different bolt guns? Which is your favorite and why?

[Chibbity]

Basic bolter, gotta love the classics.

Leveling this baby up now and just for that reason! You tried any of the others? How does it compare?

[badger vortex]

the standard bolter is the best but mostly because it has a grenade launcher attached rather than the bolts being anything special - there's very few good bolters overall - auto boltgun is the worst by far and heavy bolt rifle is also pretty terrible too. stalker bolt rifle is quite good because it is quite accurate and takes just a few shots to kill majoris

[Teran]

I'd say stalker if we're ignoring the grenade launcher bolter (I choose it because it has a grenade launcher not because its a bolter).

I have a soft spot for the carbine too, but that weapon needs help badly.

None of them. They all feel like a harmless pea-shooters. Even BASIC Bolt Pistol feels MUCH better than any other bolt-weapon Tactical have. So i stuck with Plasma Incenerator

I am partial to the harder-hitting bolters like the stalker and the marksman bolt carbine. These, along with the standard bolter, have a higher headshot multiplier.

I think the problem with the rapid fire versions is that they are designed for horde clearing. Tacs just don't really need a gun for that. We want something that lets us hit hard at range. As a tactical, the only melee option we have is the chainsword and that thing just mulches hordes so we have that covered.

At this point can we ask devs nicely to give us paired Bolt Pistols ? :)

You played the assault marine? The heavy bolt pistol feels more like a bolt rifle than the bolt rifle, haha.

The feeling that Heavy Bolt Pistol give is not that different than just Bolt Pistol - both feels good and powerful-enough without inhaling more than regular dose of copium about state of bolt weapons.

The Melta.

There is a way to make Bolt weapons feels like Bolt weapons - take relic tier Bolt weapons into 1-2 difficulty levels. Just for feels.

[† Sinclaire🩸]

Classic/basic botler, the fire sound is powerful, design is top chief, feels like a real bolter

[Vulbjorn]

The one with grenade launcher. It's hysterically powerful.

[Medicles]

Bolt Carbine SMG is bad, Bolt Carbine Marksman is bad but fun.
