vertexian Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi I need someone to clarify for me if Assault Cannons are Republic only. I understood that they got Assault Cannons and the Empire got Sniper Rifles. I ask because in Dromand Kass the vendor for commendations sells a very nice Assault Cannon for level 16....... Makes no sense to me, I have spent some time trying google and looking through skill trees but am lost as to an answer. Jump in and set me right please. V.

Wraithstrike Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Afaik, the only class that gets Assault Cannons is the Trooper Commando. The Empire counterpart (BH Mercenary) gets dual blasterpistols. The Imperial Agent Sniper is the only one with Sniper rifles, and their Republic counterpart gets dual pistols.

Yeah, that's a ridiculous one, it's even funny seeing three or four types of those heavy guns on an Imperial merchant who on the other hand only sells a single pistol.

Solantharius Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 While I can't say for Imperial companions and Assault Cannons, there are Republic companions who use sniper rifles hence we are still able to obtain them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertexian Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah could well be, but I dont know of any companion at starting levels 10-16 that has the ability and its level 16 weapon. Either way hey ho it will all become clear eventually. V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkenDragon Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 heres the answer, lazy programming. the republic will have a vendor of the same place selling the same items instead of making 2 unique vendors to sell their faction's specific weapons, they will have 1 vendor copied with the name and look changed. all programmers are lazy and wish to do the least as possible while giving the most. this is how we were taught in school and this is how us programmers will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
