I've seen here loads of posts about ppl asking how to do the droid army quest, and I've also seen ppl saying that they have finished it. I've tried it 4 times myself, all kind of ways but we stillcan't beat the boss (Commander)because it's surrounded by 50 other droids. So is there any kind of tactic to do it? I guess it's an easy quest if u know what you're doing.

We tried first by defending the smaller base, didn't work. Then we tried destroying the smaller base and focusing on the bigger one, it worked lil bit better but still no....

So if there's someone who has done it I would be very thankful if I could get some tips

It's hard because the Tanker/Healer/Damager system is so **edit**ed up

I mean you can't have a tanker & a healer if their are 2 different chars, they healed woud get **edit**ed if he used 1 single heal, and the one damaging the most gets to be tanker.


i blame soe for **edit**in up this game and i will have my revenge

droid army is very easy if you can do the following



1.) have a squad leader


yea, thats it, basically, when they start spawning, kill what you can, dont hang around the camps, keep roaming and avoiding the various spawns


the trick is to have your squad leader use paint/called shot to single aggro enemies from their groups as they walk, pick them off one by one, tada

This is pretty muchit in a nutshell. The OP stated that their group tried to sit around and defend the bases against the incoming waves. This is not the way to do it, as you are going against superior numbers. Rudimentary military tactics suggest that when engaging a larger force, "hit and run" maneuvers are almost always more effective than "making a stand". Such tactics actually can apply to video games as well, and they do work in this particular situation. Movement is key.


Engage the droid army in small pockets, rather than waiting for the mass of it to mount a consolidated offense.


Bring aSquad Leader, and by Squad Leader, I mean a true-blue one, not some hybrid-BH uber-d00d that only has half the skills. Despite all of the nonsense involving BH and Jedi, Squad Leader got a really awesome revamp and I'm very glad for them; it's amazing how useful they are in groups now. To put it mildly, myself, a Squad Leader, and 3 others managed to butcher the droid army. Without our SL, I feel we would have been the ones butchered.


Oh, and make use of the det-packs and NPC miners who are on your side. The det-packs can actually do some damage, and the NPC miners aren't so bad either, not to mention they make good meatshields. If you opt to fight alongside the NPC's do NOT use AOE's as you can damage the friendlies.


The fightis intense, so don't expect an instant-win, however I found the battle to be an extremely enjoyable and rewarding one.


Good luck.

We did it with 2 jedi & 3 ranged, we faught off a few waves from the smaller base but were dying so we let it die & rezed & buffed up, then we had the message pop up about the droid commander entering the battlefield so we pulled him and kill 'em. After killing him you get a buff that gives ya higher defense so we pulled the droids 1 by 1 untill we killed all but 2 waves of droids which had never left the back of the map.

Try using the 1st base as a starting point with zero npc help. When things get hairy, rush off to the second outpost with NPC help. Just remember, you can use the force shield walls ect. to regen or rez ect. Don't go off standing in the middle of an army of droids! Use that last building as your defense, REALLY. It can be destroyed as long as the droids don't make it past you. Use every NPC you've got. If you see a bunch of NPCS off to the left or right....charge to them. Don't just stand in one area. When the big bad boss comes at the end...take him out then his officers....then the squadleaders. It's pretty easy after that big boy is down and out.
