To get the mando armor you first have to hav a full suit of BH armor. then components from the Deathwatch Bunker then have a Armorsmith with you b/c you can only craft the armor there in the cave while its still respawning. No one has a full suit screens you see are graphics hacks that make a composit look like mando to the person playing on that computer. we all still see a guy in composit.. Prob is that the Stats of the BH Armor become the stats of the Mando Armor... So it sucks all the time and effort to look like Boba Fett, Thnk you Mr. Hayden Blackman your obession w/ Boba Fett has given us such a waste of time... I really wish lucasarts had put a non- slaptard in charge of swg... Go back to dev maniac mansion games you twit...

depending on the parts, you either need a droid engineer, a tailor (I think) or an armorsmith

There was a screenie of a full suit of Mando up on the main page as "screen shot of the day" about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was a full set of red mando being worn by what looked like a pikeman .. or least he was holding some kinda weird looking pike/staff. I doubt the devs would have posted it if it where a fake. It may have been a screen shot someone took inside the dwb of the overlord or something. Who knows.

Pretty sure that was all client side modded since the pike that dude was holding isnt in the game.
I think that its kind of ridiculous how uncommon this armor is and how common jedi with staff sabers are. And why is it ok for everyone to wear composite, but for noone to wear mandalorian. I would think diversity would make this game more entertaining than everyone wearing the same type of armor. Personally I would like to see more RIS, mandalorian, and bounty hunter armor being worn in the game. Not lots of it, but with the current arrangement no one is going to wear mandalorian armor when it takes a group effort to obtain the stuff.

I completely agree, what fun is it? if this armour is unattainable, it might as well not be in the game. I can become a Jedi Knight before I get one piece of Mandolorian Armour. I bought the game to be a BH so the Jedi option wouldn't be too fun for me. I'm probably repeating myself over and over in this thread lol

Sorry bud, but thinking beyond the movies, takes me to the expanded universe... should pick up the books... greatwriting... Anyways, back to the post... I know exactly what you're saying, BUT Mandalorian Armor was made to resist the blasts of a lightsaber, with that in mind, Darth Vader hired Bounty Hunters to take down Jedi, which would mean that a Bounty Hunter would need a set of Mandalorian Armor, either that or lay in a few pieces on the ground. With that in mind, what you're saying would mean that any combat profession should get a set of Mandalorian Armor... in other words, everyone and their mother! I like the idea that was posted just prior to your post... Wearable and Craftable by ONLY Bounty Hunters... and resistances should be dependent on resources just like any other item that you craft... Just trying to hook us Bounty Hunters up... we NEED something!

It is all for looks... You can buy better armor from a local armor smith... I talked to one guy who had a full set and it was like 40% average resistences on stuff.... So it sucks and not worth the effort...
You must mean the BH armor. If you're talking about Mando, I got to see screenshots to believe it. I told ya'll. It's an Urban Legend. You'll have a better chance of finding Jimmy Hoffa.

BelasPedek, I know I didn't mention it but ideally I would want Mandolorian Armour to be BH only as well, would be a good reward for mastering BH. If Vader gave BH missions that would be awesome.

Someone please confirm for sure, if Mand Armor is in fact, available. I was given the impression it is, and heres what i was told that led me to believe it is. Mand armor is "craftable", but only after you loot all the Bh armor pieces, which drop from Black Sun NPC(and VERY rarely at that). Once you get a full BH suit, you then have to collect some resources that are onlyv available in the Geo caves and DWB, one of which, if i am remembering right was the Alum mine Gel packet and other such things. SO this is what i was told, if im confusing things with other quests please tell me. If not could we get confirmation. IM starting and alt that willbe master Armor, with the sole intent of getting myself a full Mand amor/JP and RIS for the uber nice display pieces they would make.

It is in the game.
You need to find rare spawns on yavin or endor of Black sun thugs in BH suits. You got the full suit, and then you need a master armorsmith, a master tailor, and a master droid engineer to craft certain pieces (forget how it works). You also need certain loots from the Death Watch bunker, which is also the only place the suit can be crafted.
Essentially, once you have the materials, you go in, get to the forge, have your master AS craft the item, and then regardless of whether you succeed or fail, you are automatically ejected from the bunker, and have to do it again. You just hope that you succeeded, and see a new Mando armor piece in your collection. You have to repeat this for each piece.
The only bad thing is that I don't believe you get to choose the color of the armor - so you end up with a technicolor Mando armor.
