The bolt pistol seems op because everybody and their mothers are running armor suits. Claiming that the bolt pistol is OP is a little bit over the top because:

- BP has to charge on every shot, if you know how to strafe this is easy to counter
- BP has a 4 round clip
- BP has low ammo carried
- BP can't spray and pray

I think that although the base damage is high CCP did a good job on the bolt pistol. Now that it kills people you'll get the OP claims. I've used the bolt pistol quite often on my scout before the buff and can honestly say it's a skill shot weapon, If you miss 1 of your shots you're screwed. I think that vs other side arms you'll have a 50/50 chance in a head on gun fight like you're supposed to.

Keep in mind it's only out for one day in its current state so people will try it, however I still believe people will favor the higher clip size sidearms in the end.

lol that is now before it just had a range dropoff damage % issue it was 150 damage 6 clip 36 ammo. it is not a spray and pray sidearm it was meant for mid to long range attacks. the charge up is very quick and it is perfect to reaim between shots. now it is op with on shield 225% headshot with a basic bp of 229 that is over 515.25 damage remember it goes up to 245% when it hits armor. so if a suit has 400 shield 150 armor the damage goes 400 to shield but the 115 turns into 125 so the suit would have 25 armor left the is not counting any proficiency in it. with level 1 prof the suit would be dead. how is that not OP? remember this is a SIDEARM not a shotgun or nova knives. it is a sniper rifle at 10 - 80 meters.

A scr can chargeable ohk a ton of suits, so can a sg or a pair of nk the key factors in all those weapons is skill. in the time it takes to kill with a smg it would be equal or quicker than a bp. Although i am probably biased because ive used it as my main weapon since its release, i have the timing down and my skills up, i can and have killed a heavy in a bp vs hmg dual with a few shots but im pro 5, reload 5 and damage mods so i can drop about 700 hp off you in 2/3 shots thats about 3 to five seconds which is more than enough time for my smg to destroy you, just feels like a worse death because my two skill shots beat your lousy spray n pray.

DEZKA DIABLO THE FOOTCLAN 704	Posted - 2014.09.27 20:16:00 - [4] - Quote Ive had the bolt at proficiency 5 for a long time and i honestly think the only buff it needed was two in the clip, and the reload fix and pg reduction, its wicked as now and maybe too good but im also rocking it on a pro cal scout with 3 damage mods and pro five which does approximately 340 a shot lol which means its got great dps on its own and even better if your knocking off shield for the cr or using a scr or scp to remove shields and the bp as the kill shot, which would explain the killfeed But if your gonna do anything to change it revert the damage to old and return the clip size, thats all. Do not flaylock it! It was my favorite gun and i ve been getting 20 kill games using it with knives since before it had hype, it should hit hard and too many people have underestimated its power because nobody used it, things always been beast but before hit detection was severely broken. Maybe take 20 damage off at most or even more but dont change the charge time; although i had the old charge time perfectly timed in my head and honestly either way im gonna wreck with it, i use three damage mods and have proficiency and reload maxed , i really just wished the gun remained the best kept secret in dust, but thats always ruined by some jackass writing a thread trying to be a hero!
