Build it. The Boar Prime is a status-spreading machine, especially with its Incarnon Genesis. Its main weakness is ammo inefficiency, which can be mitigated.
Fires 8 pellets per shot. It takes an Incarnon Genesis adapter from the Steel Path Circuit, which is where most of its 2026 power comes from.
The Boar Prime is the Prime variant of the Boar shotgun, boasting improved stats across the board including damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance, and fire rate. It was originally released alongside Mag Prime and Dakra Prime.
This weapon primarily deals Impact damage and features an innate multishot of 8 pellets per shot. Its wide spread makes it effective for crowd control.
With the addition of its Incarnon Genesis, the Boar Prime gains significant power and utility, transforming it into a formidable primary weapon capable of handling Steel Path content.
How to get the Boar Prime

- Barrel: Lith M2, Meso M1, Axi D4, Axi V2 (vaulted relics).
- Blueprint: Meso F4, Neo B3, Neo D1, Neo N9 (vaulted relics).
- Stock: Lith B1, Meso B1, Meso B3, Neo B8 (vaulted relics; the rare slot in Lith B1, Meso B1).

- Build the parts, then the weapon: 12 hours each, or rush with platinum.

Builds
Given its high status chance and innate multishot, a status-focused build is ideal. Aim for high status chance per pellet to reliably apply procs, especially with the Incarnon form. While its critical stats are lower, they can be boosted to a respectable level, allowing for hybrid crit/status builds.
