SilverBulletKY Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Do you get to use heavy armor as a bounty hunter at a certain level? I have been reading that bounty hunters can use heavy armor, but at the moment, I can only use light armor but have had only heavy armor drop from mobs and can't use them yet.

Dzhokhar Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Are you sure you're a Bounty Hunter? Bounty Hunters use heavy armor from the start. Only Sith Inquisitors and Jedi Consulars are restricted to light armor. By Class: Bounty Hunter/Trooper - Heavy Imperial Agent/Smuggler - Medium Sith Inquisitor/Jedi Consular - Light Sith Warrior/Jedi Knight - Medium (Sith Juggernaut and Jedi Guardian Advanced Classes can wear Heavy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just a learn to play issue then. Bounty hunters can always wear heavy armor. ALWAYS!!! but at the moment, I can only use light armor but have had only heavy armor drop from mobs See, now here you are even contradicting yourself. If you have had only heavy armor drop, then how can you know you can only use light armor... You would have needed to have light armor drop to and then you would have had to equip it to confirm that. but seriously... start putting it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roda Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 A BH's armor use is tied to their Advanced Class. At the beginning, you start in Medium armor proficiency. Then once you hit 10th level, your Advanced Class choice further influences things. If you choose to be a Mercenary, then you'll stay at only knowing Medium armors. Or if you choose Powertech, then you'll gain the Heavy armor proficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both advanced classes as well as before choosing advanced class, they use heavy armor. There is no medium or light armor with aim anyway. Right from level 1 they use heavy armor. The only classes that change armor type on one of their advanced classes are Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior.

The only armor I can use is light and went to my character screen to verify this. I thought it was weird as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 /facepalm Start putting on that heavy armor. Character screen does not show what you can do. Abilities panel does. And start looking at your CLASS abilities, not general abilities shared by all classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
va_wanderer Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thank you. I'm only at level 3 right now and it would not allow me to equip the heavy items. This is actually likely why- armor also often has a level restriction. If it's too high-level for you, you can't wear it yet. But BH's can wear heavy armor from level 1. I know, leveled one myself!

GellonSW Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Bounty Hunters can equip heavy from the get go. Most likely you're running into a level restriction and thats why you can't put the armor on. To check what's restricting you mouse over the item and whatever is in RED will tell you what the restriction is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thank you. I'm only at level 3 right now and it would not allow me to equip the heavy items. Don't say thank you to a person who posted lies. One more time: Bounty hunters will always be able to use heavy armor right from the level 1. While every class can wear lower armor types than what is their primary armor type, using any other armor type is not any use for them, since only heavy armor comes with aim which is bounty hunter's primary stat.

Skodan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 roda was wrong, bounty hunters/troopers start with a passive allowing them to wear heavy armor from level 1 Level 1 Armor Available: Heavy: Bounty Hunter/Trooper Medium: Smuggler/Jedi Knight and Imperial Agent/Sith Warrior Light: Jedi Consular/Sith Inquisitor Level 10 Advanced Class Armor Available: Guardian/Juggernauts from the Jedi Knight/Sith Warrior are the only AC's that get new armor available to them. every other AC stays with their starting armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarka Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) New players helping new players. PS. All Bounty Hunters and Troopers wear heavy from level 1. There are different tabs in the abilities lists. Click them for information. Edited March 6, 2012 by aarka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Vicente Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Bounty Hunters always have access to heavy armor. If you can't wear it, the armor itself has a level requirement you don't meet, which has nothing to do with armor type.
