Can someone explain a question for me. I'm trying to level up in Rifle. I was given a Laser Rifle and seem to hit 2 out of ten shots. Does the certifications mean anything? If i'm not certified to use the laser rifle does that mean i'm less effective with that. Would i be better off with a CDEF Rifle to get level 1 Rifle?

You can still use a weapon you aren't certified in and you will get the experience type for that weapon. You will do way less damage and have a horrendous time skilling up because your fights will take so long and you will probably die often. Everyone is certified for cdef weapons, use one of those until you get a new cert, the laser rifle won't help you at all until you are certified for it.

Er... sort of a similar topic. I recently had to drop all of pistoleer and marksman (/weep) but it still says I'm certified for the republic blaster. I've never seen this cert in any skill boxes, not sure if it's a bug or what... any ideas?

Yeah, you're absolutely awful with any weapon you're not certified for. It's really not worth it. However, as for the Republic Blaster, we're yet to know where that cert comes from. Some people have it and other people don't, but I'm getting reports that everyone can use it regardless. It won't be that great for you, since you don't have any specials for it since you dropped all of Pistoleer and Marksman, but Pistoleers really like it.

See thats what i needed to know. Great info...Now i just need a CDEF Rifle. Can buy that off the Bazaar. Thanks Guys.

The republic blaster is certified for everyone like cdef guns, they did this in the patch

Thanks guys. Blew Rifle 1 away once I got me a CDEF Rifle. Was getting 10 exp a kill now getting 100+

• All of the formatting is finished (and my space bar feels the pain ) I'll keep trying to touch it up anytime I'm in there, but the use of spaces makes it difficult to get it any better lined up than it is currently.


• I want to add another stat to each weapon stating whether it is a WS schematic (eg. vibro knuckers), a loot schematic (Nightsister Energy Lance)or a loot item only (Nightsister Lance). What I would first require is a complete list of the current WS schematics (I am not a Weaponsmith myself, otherwise I would do it). Once I have this, I can at least indicate which ones WS can make for you RIGHT NOW to enjoy the CU with.


• Also, thank you to the kind posts and thanks I have recieved so far!

another dev rush job

maybe one more

Looking good so far. Thanks.

As fair warning: Since so many people are asking the same question in all the combat forums, I have posted a link to this thread in each of those forums.

Someone seems to have added similar, but only for ranged weapons, info into the SWG Wikipedia.
