Warframe updates every so often and, when it does, usually the community is treated to something they can use to either increase their stats, support their team or deal more damage to a specific faction. Well, Digital Extremes recently re-added the original Boar shotgun, and folks can get its blueprint only from one planet.
Sporting more than two different versions of this shotgun that resembles the Strun, including the removed prime version, the boar is a long time shotgun that many trust and love to use, including myself. For the longest, the gun had been removed and could only be purchased through the Wrecking Rhino pack, which runs for 545 platinum.
As of now, players can get it either of three ways now, from a drop location, in the market for 225 platinum as a standalone or through the Rhino pack. The new drop location is found on the planet Uranus and comes from the new Drekar Grineer Troopers. Trying to get them to drop the actual blueprint is quite tricky but can be achieved by bringing a Neckros to speed the process up.
Something worth noting, missions like survival and defense or interception are good, since you are flooded with an onslaught of Grineer soldiers, prompting a large amount of Drekar soldiers to be looted by Nekros’ desecrate when you dispatch them.
For those that are curious about the guns stats, it has physical damage coming in at 176 with eight pellets, 96.8 impact, 26.4 puncture and 52.8 slash damage on it. The crit and crit-chance stand at 1.5x and 10%, while it has a status chance of 20% and a magazine of 20. With the help of mods, you can upgrade the weapon to be even better, like its long reloading, depending on how you mod it.
Although the gun isn’t special like a Wraith or Vandal type, it is good to know how and where to get this trusty shotgun. With that said, you can watch this new video that long time player Mogamu posted up, telling how to get it and what mods work best for him.
Something worth noting, you can mod the Boar however you like, as long as it compliments your playstyle. And lastly, you can get this weapon’s blueprint from the Planet Uranus, as long as there is a Grineer Drekar Trooper in the map.
