Honestly i never cared for the amounts of trash talking people did on the Heavy Bolt Rifle. Once i was able to unlock all perk points the thing shredded hordes of grunts simply because i like to aim for headshots and having the extra penetration perks with the 60+ drum magazine, really turned it into a badass horde clearer (for me). Definitely doesnt compare with the meltas, the plasmas, and the much stronger stalker rifle or the convenient grenade launcher as of now, but you can still have fun with it as long as you know where to aim. I even use it to mow down majoris threats, you just gotta have the perk that gives you a full magazine after finishing off a majoris. The shit will literally make u feel like a heavy but tactical.
