Also, remember to set the Boltcaster itself into a Supercharged slot to vastly improve its overall performance.
Note that you will need to hunt down Sentinels themselves to salvage their parts, too. They are required to fix up the multi-tool to make it usable.
You will also want to get an S Class Sentinel Multi-Tool for the best results, which might require some luck and work.
For modules, you will want to focus on these effects:
- Reload Time Reduction
- Fire Rate Increase
- Damage Increase
- Shots Per Burst Increase
As said before, set your Boltcaster into one of the Supercharged Slot. If you have another Supercharged Slot open, set your best upgrade module into it.
With the right setup, you will have an absolutely incredible weapon that can take out enemies in seconds.
The best part? The Boltcaster has long range and its damage doesn’t decrease over distance, either. You can take out enemies before they even pose a threat to you!
