Friday Update: Bounty Hunter Armor Progression Video



Today's Star Wars: The Old Republic Friday Update features a character progression video for the Bounty Hunter. Highlights include the general characteristics of the Mercenary and Powertech Advanced Classes, glimpses of various species, and a Jedi getting stabbed in the head.

Our working dissection is available in the media gallery below. As with all of our dissections, items noted in prior dissections will not be mentioned here again unless otherwise important. Make sure to check back throughout the day for more. Feel free to add your thoughts and items you noticed in the video. If we decide to use your find, we will credit you in the dissection.

As your character progresses in Star Wars: The Old Republic, you will gain experience and strength, learning new skills and earning more advanced gear.

The Bounty Hunter is feared across the galaxy for his ability to track elusive prey from the bustling metropolises of the core worlds to the further reaches of known space. As his targets become more evasive and his enemies more powerful, the Bounty Hunter will learn new skills and abilities to match the advanced weapons and armor he discovers during his travels.

Watch some of the paths along which the Bounty Hunter can progress to get a brief glimpse of the armors and abilities available as he grows in wealth and glory.

    I agree.

    Bending bolts is lame.

    I would rather see a straight show that 'misses', than the bending bolts.

    yeah, you don't need to lead the target to hit it like with a solid projectile weapon. to be fair you wouldn't even have a visible beam/blast either. that's why it's Sci Fantasy.

    the killiks need to lose some booty, seriously. the concept art of them looks a lot better with the skinny abdomen. in the vid, it's almost comical seeing it sway back n forth as they run.

    BH blue bubble... how many bubbles are there now???

    the Gormak and their blue tennis shoes also look cheesy...

    other than that, good vid but not great imo. felt kinda rushed almost

    I agree with the Killiks thing. They look just like ants when in the concept art they look like a lizard/dragon/bug. The rest is fine other then I didn't think bounty hunters could only use blasters and we have a bounty hunter armor progression video though this one is much more recent. Overall good though and a lot better then last weeks.

    The unidentified symbol looks like a simplified version of Revans Sith Empire: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_Empire_(Jedi_Civil_War)

    Nothing else I've seen is even close to it, but that can actually match up pretty well. Perhaps it's the symbol for the Revanites?

    Love the video. BH Powertech for my first main it will be.
    :33 in I'm looking at a cyborg! 2:08 has anyone talked about the jet pack rocket launcher on your back yet? I can't find anything about that ability.

    Very nice video. Actually, I think this is the most interesting armor progression video so far, not so much because of the gear, but because of the wide array of new abilities, locations and aliens.

    Also how great is it that Killiks are in the game?

    The ability shown in image 5 of the vid dissection is almost certainly "Retractable Blade" referred to in the tool tip for "Meltdown" in the Powertech AC section of the Advanced Classes page on the SWTOR.com. If you watch the video you'll notice the blade extends, with a distinct blade unsheathing sound, strikes, then retracts.

    I'm pretty sure those are new facial tattoos on the main guy.

    The Killiks have already been noted, but did y'all notice the oddly non-green Gamorrean, plus we saw Gormak of both sexes. At first I thought one of them was a female Nautolan, but she's definitely Gormak. I guess they have sexual dimorphism after all. Nice to see more aliens.

    The Gamorrean needs to be fatter too. He is definitely more athletic looking than the ones in the original trilogy. I guess you can't expect all to look the same.
