There's a lot of misinformation in this thread.



  • Jetpack Base

The above item only drops from random Black Sun NPC's outside of the DWB



  • Fuel Dispersion Unit

  • Injector Tank

  • Ducted Fan

The above items drop from Black Sun, and from the loot chests inside the DWB



  • Stabilizer

The above item drops from the Deathwatch Overlord always, from two locations in the DWB (one's a quest NPC)



  • Alum Mineral

The above item is a reward from completing the DWB's Foreman quest, and can be regranted by repeat trips to the person who has completed the Foreman's quest


To get into the crafting room, a Master DE is required, and a BH helm or bracer. <<< This is probably why some of you had problems getting in.






P.S. from personal experience, all the loot is currently dropping (altho who knows what other havoc has occured with loot since 13.1)


As far as a group goes, from many trips, we've been very successful with 10 players, and we've been very unsuccessful with 18 players, jedi or not, mix matters little. It all comes down to listening to orders, teamwork, and making as few mistakes as possible, because once some fool starts drawing unwanted and unnecessary aggros on the group, show's over, be prepared to clone.

They are random, and they move around like krayt spawns of old. Once you play a spawn for about 4 times, it stops, and another can be found somewhere else as often happens.

I've never seen a BS outside the bunker, and according to every other report, the base is most commonly looted from the BS on Yavin...

Do you need a Schematic for the Jet Pack?

Sorry I didn't mean a BS directly in proximity outside of the bunker, I meant from BS other than those in the bunker. I found my base off a BS on endor about 3 weeks ago.

No, they are crafted in the DWB by a Master DE, who places the individual parts on the terminal while the party is under attack. If the crafter dies while dropping the parts for construction of the jetpack, the parts poof. So keeping the crafter alive is a good thing. As soon as the crafter drops the first part, the BS and SBD's pop and start moving in on the crafter, the group has to taunt and intercede, never seen one get through the group so far, so long as they know what to expect and are ready.






There's write-ups and walkthru's on the DWB and quests... there's alot more detail than what's covered so far in this thread.

Do you not need Protective Liquid and Binary Liquid to enter?





The runs I've participated in have been jetpack oriented, I can't speak for the other crafting rooms, but the jetpack room only requires those I've stated. Don't recall seeing the liquids being required for the other crafting rooms either, from the walkthru's, but I may be mistaken on that as I was focused on jetpacks.

Last note, highly recommend going with a seasoned group to learn the do's and don'ts for DWB. To me its the best fun in the game today.


Mistakes lead to death. As soon as peeps start dying, the odds start slipping, cause someone unbuffed in the DWB is only good as a healer, and as the numbers of offense players drop by dying, the odds start dying with them. It is as specific as where to stand, when to do this and that, and where not to stand, what not to touch, what to attack, in what order. Every mistake stacks the odds against the group.

I have readin other threads that a Master DE is required to get into the room, but you need a Master Artisan to craft the Jetpack. Is that correct?

Wow - I removed this thread from my subscriptions after I got my answer as to what I'd need to get. I come onto the loot forums and do a double take when my old post has 39 replies and still is at the top of the page.


Anyways, is there something different or something I am not doing right regarding the blacksun loots? I have been hunting blacksun for almost 3 hours a day for the last few days and all I get is credits. Well actually thats a lie - I got my 4th pair of BH gloves in the last three days. What's up with this? Am I on a really REALLY bad loot streak or am I missing something? Also I've noticed that the mobs of 3 blacksuns (usually a thug, henchman/guard, and assasin) seem to have dissapeared off of Yavin. I'm still going at it, tonight I'm going to make upa new patrol route and see if maybe the Dev's just shuffle it up - but I've killed atleast 50 blacksun in the past couple of days and gotten a mere pair of gloves (well that and 50k cash but I'd rather have my BH helmet :smileysad


Thanks for all the replies-
