| ~ Item Description |
The Ballesta Nishanka Boltshark X-80 is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a modernized compact crossbow with a lightweight framework and an adjustable stock. In the center, a single bolt is loaded and drawn by an orange bowstring, which requires a reload after every shot. With certain modifications and overclocks, the Boltshark is capable of firing a wide range of bolt variants that each possesses a unique effect.
The Boltshark features a secondary ammo pool consisting of specialized bolts which can be swapped to by pressing the Reload button ("R" by default). These bolts are obtained exclusively in the first tier of the weapon's modifications and does not affect the primary ammo pool. Using a resupply pod will replenish both ammo pools separately.
The Boltshark also features the ability to retrieve ammo in a similar fashion as the Driller's Impact Axes, where most bolt variants that do not strike enemies can be returned to its respective ammo pool by pressing the Use button ("E" by default). Retrievable bolts will produce a small amount of light in order for players to locate them more easily and will completely despawn after a certain amount of time.

FUEGO RÁPIDO
  |
|
"I+D ha mejorado el mecanismo de recarga de la ballesta, recolocando la cuerda más rápidamente en posición para colocar un nuevo virote en la cámara. También se ha reforzado la cuerda sin coste adicional, permitiendo que el arma dispare los virotes con casi nula pérdida de fuerza." | Plantilla:Price table | |
| EL "ESPECIALISTA"
|
|
"Permite cargar más virotes especiales y más potentes. ¿Qué más se podría pedir?" | Plantilla:Price table | |
CRIOVIROTE
  |
|
"Se ha añadido un pequeño módulo a tus virotes que actúa de forma similar a las granadas criogénicas, permitiéndote enfriar y congelar a los enemigos. Lánzalos al terreno o en la mismísima cara de los enemigos para convertir a los bichos cercanos en polos de hielo. El frío intenso afecta a los virotes, reduciendo su daño directo y destruyéndolos después de usarlos." | Plantilla:Price table | |
VIROTE DE FUEGO
 |
|
"Estos virotes vienen equipados con un elemento altamente tecnológico: un frasco lleno de compuestos químicos volátiles, capaces de desprender gran cantidad de calor. Se activarán al dispararlos contra enemigos o contra el terreno. Sin embargo, genenar tan altas temperaturas tiene un coste, ya que se reducirá el daño general infligido y hará que el virote quede inservible tras impactar." | Plantilla:Price table | |
PUNTAS PUNZANTES
  |
|
"La ballesta ha sido modificada para que pueda disparar un virote punzante y más fino, que tiene la habilidad de perforar a sus objetivos y rebotar hacia el objetivo más cercano. Su forma más fina hace que inflija menos daño y que el arma necesite más tiempo para recargar. Esto no afectará a los virotes especiales." | Plantilla:Price table | |
| ANDANADA TRIPLE |
|
"Con un par de ajustes en el mecanismo de disparo y en la cuerda, podrás cargar una andanada de hasta tres virotes en la cámara. Los virotes infligirán mucho menos daño, pero vendrán tan compactados que podrás llevar más munición de este tipo. Las modificaciones y el tamaño de los virotes hace que la recarga sea también más lenta, y los virotes se romperán tras dispararlos, por lo que no podrás recuperarlos. Esto no afectará a los virotes especiales." | Plantilla:Price table | |

The Electric Beam is able to stack with exactly one additional copy of itself for a total of 12 damage every 0.2 seconds. It is also able to stack unconditionally with the similar effects caused by the Engineer's Turret Arc overclock and the Electric Crystals of the Crystal Caverns.
