Combat and enemies

The galaxy fights back

Aggressive hostile NPCs now have twice the HAM, 75% more damage, 25% faster attacks, and substantially wider aggro ranges.
Death Watch, Black Sun, Nightsisters, Spider Nightsisters, and the Singing Mountain Clan now have 60% special lightsaber resistance.
Offensive Force powers hit significantly harder, and Force Lightning now applies a fire damage-over-time effect.
Armor and weapon slicing now always produces a positive effectiveness or damage result.
Light lightning cannons and lightsabers now use heavy armor piercing.

Contracts and Galactic Civil War

Greater risks. Greater rewards.

Legendary bounties

New, extremely difficult Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Mara Jade bounty missions award one million credits, exceptional loot, epic combat music, and major opposing-faction gains.

Faction missions

Bounty-hunter and faction mission payouts have increased dramatically. Rebels can hunt 500,000-credit Dark Jedi targets, while Imperials can hunt 500,000-credit Light Jedi targets.

GCW progression

Enemy NPCs, lairs, and players now award faction GCW currency. Six new ranks extend progression through Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General, High General, and Surface Marshal.

Loot and equipment

Exceptional rewards

Advanced weapon and medical components now drop much more often, roll dramatically stronger stats, and appear on Black Sun and Death Watch enemies.
Weapon and chemical component stacks now reach the hundreds, with substantially improved stats. Lightsaber components received equivalent improvements.
Lightsaber crystals and pearls no longer stack and now provide three times their former damage.
Bounty-hunter armor drops now roll 80–90% resistances across the board, sockets, and skill mods. All looted armor, including Death Watch Mandalorian armor, receives 10 sockets.
Weapon powerups now provide 1,000 uses, including existing powerups.
Death Watch Overlord blood-sample completion now awards a complete Death Watch Mandalorian armor set and a greatly increased faction-point reward.

Professions and quality of life

Fewer limits, more freedom

Demolition careers

All Demolition Specialist ranks no longer require skill points, and their combat-experience requirements align with the expanded combat-experience capacity.

Uncapped experience

Experience-type limits have been removed. Master bounty hunters also receive malfunction-free Arakyd droids and drastically faster Arakyd and seeker droids.

Player freedom

Backpacks hold 500 items and work with Jedi robes, Metropolis requires only one citizen, player run speed is back to default, and frog/player buffs now raise supported stats to 10,000.

Galaxy online

Live changes are active. Faction-pet scaling is staged for the next restart.
