Arsenal, Loot and Warfront Update

Deadlier battlefields, stronger crafted weapons, exceptional treasure, expanded storage, and a towering new Imperial reinforcement.

Player storage

Pack for the long haul

  • Player inventories can now hold 500 items.
  • Personal bank safety-deposit boxes can now hold 1,000 items.
  • Existing character inventories and banks receive the new capacities when their character logs in.

Warfront escalation

The galaxy fights harder

  • Faction forces and aggressive dungeon and point-of-interest combatants now inflict substantially more damage and attack more accurately and rapidly.
  • These enemies receive triple HAM and an additional armor tier, capped at Heavy armor.
  • Defenders stationed at player-placed Imperial and Rebel faction bases receive the same deadly combat improvements.
  • Player-owned pets are excluded from the new enemy-only escalation.

Exceptional and legendary loot

Weapons worthy of their names

  • Exceptional weapons now deliver dramatically greater damage and carry multiple weapon-appropriate skill modifiers.
  • Legendary weapons are stronger still, with additional high-value modifiers.
  • Both qualities may generate powerful damage-over-time effects, with Legendary weapons receiving the greatest chance and strength.
  • NPC loot scales with enemy level and now includes powerful weapons, holocrons, and broader rare rewards while ordinary junk drops are tremendously rarer.

Crafted combat

Melee reaches ranged parity

  • Conventional melee damage components now contribute the damage budget needed to compete with multi-component ranged weapon schematics.
  • Vibro units, reinforcement and sword cores, melee enhancements, and special organic melee components receive the new treatment.
  • Ranged weapon and lightsaber components remain outside this melee-only adjustment.

Resource industry

Industrial-scale harvesting

  • Newly crafted resource harvesters and power generators receive ten times their former extraction capability.
  • Their hopper storage is increased thirtyfold.
  • Factories and existing deeds or installations are unchanged.

Weapon tuning

Every weapon tells a story

  • Heavy Acid Rifles, Beam Rifles, and Plasma Flame Throwers now use medium armor piercing.
  • The SG82 Rifle now uses light armor piercing.
  • DE-10 Pistols now deal cold damage while retaining heavy armor piercing.
  • The Black Sun Executioner's Hack now uses heavy armor piercing.
  • The Black Sun Razor Knuckler now uses medium armor piercing.
  • Existing copies receive these mandatory properties as they load.

Crafting status

Crusader armor crafting is not included in this release.

Both variants remain unavailable while safe shared-asset support is completed and verified.
