The BoltPistol is unfortunately bad

I think it sucks even compared to Laspistols on Vet sadly.

I find it hard to gauge the actual “powerlevel” of the weapon with 2 major bugs being present currently.

  1. Bolt explosions only cause damage on kill (it should cause extra on kill): Link here.
    2. It inherited the crosshair jitter from bolter that it had since for ever: Link here (probably I should go and write a bug post on Bolt Pistol too). Edit: Nevermind, last patch seems to have fixed the jitter on Bolt Pistol.

You can make it work with very specific build using Surgical, Deadshot and Focus Target!, but as a slap-on weapon it is just bad.

Best thing I found about it is that it perform very well against regular shooters, one-shotting all of them on a bodyshot, although it not as good against them as a good old MK2 Laspistol.
