―Description

Spread Blast is an unlockable Weapon Technique for the Boltblaster under the Hunter skill tree in Horizon Forbidden West. It consumes 65 Stamina for each shot.

Use

Spread Blast fires a shotgun-like blast of 8 bolts from a Boltblaster without needing to charge the weapon, making it useful against close range attackers or as a quick reaction. This technique can also cause heavy damage to brittle targets especially when combined with certain Valor Surges like Ranged Master.

If there are less than 8 rounds remaining in the magazine, Spread Blast will have fewer rounds.
