Iwipe Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) 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 screenshot : http://i.imgur.com/NjBBj.jpg 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) More information on HK-51 (i.e. crafting bonuses, weapons he uses, video w/ combat animations etc): http://dulfy.net/2012/10/12/hk-51-companion-information/ Edited October 12, 2012 by Iwipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgon Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Congratulations. Have you found any character skins for him, such as an HK-47 skin or a camouflaged skin? I'd hate for us all to run around with a durasteel grey HK droid, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiltonium Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 While I have to admit my disappointment that he was so easily attainable as it could be done in less than a day, I have to say he looks freakin sweet! Whats hit skills?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxumus Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwipe Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) 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 http://i.imgur.com/IsEj8.jpg Edited October 12, 2012 by Iwipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orpheus Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxumus Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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 Yes you do. However your opposite faction character only needs to be around level 15ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGsam Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtGeneralGezlin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafaman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Not a surprise. Looks like I will be adding another Dulfy bookmark and link to our guild web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsugetsuka Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 May I ask what his main stat is? I haven't come across it anywhere, also, what does he take for weapons, I've read Sniper Rifle but I'm a tad unsure of that, from the image I'm also going to guess he wields a vibroknife, could be wrong though.

ThrillInstructor Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) OK, here's another picture: http://www.imgbox.de/users/public/images/bpxRH2YhFd.jpg 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!

Tommot Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks for the post! Does he have regular companion conversations? Or is he more like the ship droid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orpheus Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The main stat is cunning. Based on the new Cybertech schems available, I was under the impression that it was Aim ? or were they not for HK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Smith Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thank you for the guide. I find it a slight bit silly that you need to unlock a "Legacy Companion" for all characters. Should be a one time unlock for your entire legacy, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekas Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
