Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

One of the Boom Bolt's best attributes is as a pressure weapon, as it is very effective at both pushing enemies out from behind cover, and at destroying said cover.
Another strength to the Boom Bolt is its damage against Vehicles is heavily increased, making it very good when dealing with players either attempting to run you over or run away from a fight.
The Boom Bolt is also very powerful against players in general, doing 108 damage in Legendary rarity as long as the bolt connects with an enemy.

Counters[]

The Boom Bolt takes Rockets, which aren't able to be held in high quantities, the highest being 12 reserve Rockets. Paired with a 5 round Drum Mag by default, and the Boom Bolt is very punishing of missed or wasted shots, especially with the slow reload time. Taking advantage of this by striking an opponent in close range while they attempt to reload the Boom Blot can be very beneficial because of this.
