Aidlock Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ok, so I have my new droid companion. I can figure out from reading some forums and looking the the skills section about what my new Droid Companion can equip. He has a slot for a 'ranged weapon'. But Ive tried all types of weps and nothing works. Any clue what kind of weapon he uses? Can he Learn weapon skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokkar Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) No, they can only be used for crew skills. (The one that comes with the ship) Edited December 16, 2011 by Trokkar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neorandomjedi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 commendation vendors seem to sell droid armor cores and ranged weapons they can use. the equiptment ones that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korghal Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 No, they can only be used for crew skills As a smuggler you get a healer, so your wrong. They can be used in the field as well, they just cant fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I dont think he can equip weapons, i dont think he can travel with you either You can send him on missions or get him crafting, but otherwise he cant leave the ship as far as im aware. He does say that as part of the cut-scene's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokkar Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 He is talking about the droid you get when you get your ship, not other droid companions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminminU Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hes a protocol droid, when I talked to him when boarding my ship in beta he mentioned that he has no combat programming and adding some would void his warrenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChairmanMeoow Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 commendation vendors seem to sell droid armor cores and ranged weapons they can use. the equiptment ones that is. That's cause the Agent and the Trooper have combat companion droids. The one that comes on your ship tells you himself he does not have combat capabilities. He's one hell of a mission guy though, send him to do your crew skill missions so he doesn't rust on your ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctivagus Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 They get robot parts for equipment. Cybertech can make them. And they are healers. They do kinda suck as combat pets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrenli Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 As a smuggler you get a healer, so your wrong. Droids which come with the ship stay in the ship. Other 5 companions can go with you anywhere. That's what he was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have I had my protocol droid follow me around then? Were his heals in my head? I don't remember taking any drugs. Did they changed it after beta?

DerMef Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You can summon your ship droid. You can give him equipment. He does heal you. But he doesn't do any damage. Truth told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they changed it after beta? No, they havent. You can take him with you and can equip droid heavy armor on him... but he has no weapon skills whatsoever, so he can't fight. He has like 3 healing skills though... quite useful if you play a DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they changed it after beta? You CAN take them with you. But they are NOT combat droids so don't expect it to shoot anything. (As the questions is about arming him) Just wait for your proper combat medic companion if you want a healing companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szarkan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Droids which come with the ship stay in the ship. Other 5 companions can go with you anywhere. That's what he was saying. You can summon 2V-R8 in the field, he will heal you. I dabbled with him in beta, he's quite effective as a no fight, all heal kind of companion. Usually if I die it's because Malavai is too busy shooting something instead of healing me. What a nooby companion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitygreen Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You can summon your ship droid. You can give him equipment. He does heal you. But he doesn't do any damage:eek:.
