The Boltshot has a rather high rate of fire, decent accuracy, and is capable of headshots. Holding the trigger will charge the Boltshot's close-range secondary function which is often referred to as ''Burst-Mode''. It unleashes a single burst that releases five shots simultaneously which can be fatal when used against shielded enemies at close range. If the player wishes to cancel the charging secondary fire, the trigger can be released after one or two seconds, returning the weapon to its primary function which also prevents the waste of any ammunition. However, if the user releases the trigger after only three seconds, the secondary function will still fire, often catching enemies off guard. Burst-Mode can still be used if the weapon has just one of the five required bolts, inflicting the same amount of damage as a burst with all five bolts.
