HK-51 Acquired!

Recommended Posts

Thanks to everyone's help on the PTS, me and Jobo from Bastion were able to acquire HK-51 companion on the PTS. This is one epic quest and I think alot of you will enjoy it!

Here is a guide on obtaining HK-51 (just need some finishing touches): http://dulfy.net/2012/10/11/swtor-patch-1-5the-hunt-for-hk-51companion-droid/ (spoiler warning)

So is the foundry bug just a display bug in the quest log and you can still get the remaining pieces to finish the quest?

 

Here is what happened. Both me and Jobo got the foundry bug but we didn't do the other flashpoint yet. We got all the other components first except that the one from that flashpoint and when we killed boss x in the flashpoint, it updated our quest and told us to go back to Belsavis Sector X. Even though we didn't have the right components (since we had that bug and couldn't loot the loyalty chip), it still accepted them and allowed us to continue.

 

HK-51 stats - he comes naked unfortunately

Nice work as always Dulfy. :)

 

Question - did you need a character on both factions ? (i'm a little hesitant to read the guide yet for obvious reasons :p

 

Yes you do. However your opposite faction character only needs to be around level 15ish

Awesome, good job Dulfy! Now, just to wait for gameplay/the cinematic videos to pop up on youtube. One question, and I know the Devs talked about this a while ago. But, once you unlock HK-51.Will you have to go back and unlock him for all your other alts, or is he automatically unlocked across your legacy? (I'd go and look myself, but my 50 on the PTS isn't very well geared out.)

Dulfy would you be so kind as to show us the new droid armour that's apparently available for daily comms? I'm just wondering if HK's going to be limited to sub-par gear like other droid companions...

 

Will do, just let me finish up/polish the guide first and then I will put up the new droid gear :D

OK, here's another picture:

Looks like you will have to play through the whole thing for each char. The main stat is cunning. HK-51 comes 'empty'. You can use droid parts to equip it. There are new high end parts available in a new DAILIES area on Belsavis to that purpose. HK-51 will use a knife as its off-hand weapon. Not sure about the main hand yet.

You can play the entire HK story line solo with equipment no better than 22/23-parts. Playing in a team will help however if only to avoid a few unpleasant time sinks on the way. In order to complete the HK-quests you'll need a level 50 char and a char on the opposing faction who can go to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant ot the Dark Tempel on DK respectively. With some help the whole thing will take about 6 hours to complete (But with superior gear and good team play one could probably do it a lot faster).

I liked the whole experience a lot. Especially the second part after the initial quest on Belsavis was a lot of fun. I just don't know if HK as a feature merits an entire new patch number......well...share and enjoy!

Wow, already? Well done Dulfy and Jobo!

 

So, are you only able to acquire this companion on a Lv.50 character?

Or are all the parts Bind to Legacy?

 

What if I wanted to play a new character with HK-51?

SOL?

 

I'd like to know this as well.
