Maybe because it was modifed and sliced better than any run-of-the-mill slicer can achieve.

He also never wore armour, so should smugglers be unable to do so? You can't really use the key figures from the movies as archetypes for everything in-game.

Bobba-Fett was an exceptional BH, not just a Master BH.
A couple of AT-ST's got splatted by Ewoks. Maybe they had crappy drivers and not all AT-ST's are so easy.
The storm troopers were very easy to kill. Well, they were up against exceptional opponents, and were nerfed by the script...

Just because one main character does something in the films, does not mean that ALL characters of their "class" must be the same, nor does it mean that they can't be different.

Hmmm, didn't mean to go on about this, but it's a pet-peeve of mine

The DL-44 should be definitively better than it is now, although I have a 70-190 2.4 speed lying around in my house somewhere. In the end, all of our pistols should be good, but each one should have a different trait.

yah i understand that and you're kinda running with my idea.


the point is - if han solo had a crazy modified space ship that he constantly tweaked - would be settle for some crappy noobie pistol?


when one watches the movies they see this pistol and think - that must be one sweet ass piece of death dealer.


but then in the game it's the lowest tier weapon.


the at-st's died because of design flaws and they are light personal support units. design flaws destroyed the empire from the AT-AT on up to the deathstar - good drivers or bad driver. ewoks or no ewoks.


annnnnnd.........he never wore armor because he was usually in a ship flying around and being in full suits of armor doesn't help you fly.


why would he wear armor??? saying "because he didn't wear armormeans smugglers can't wear armor" is just (bangs head on desk)..............shortbus! and has no bearing on anything mentioned here.



let me put it to you this way........do you think Darth Vaders lightsaber was a first gen tusken drop crystal saber?


these ICONS of the star wars galaxy should be the most sought after weapons in the game to give the game the best possible star wars feel.


when i first saw the dl44 in the game my mind thought "wow that must be a great weapon"


and my pet-peeve is when people look at situations completely wrong and adding things that aren't needed.

Dude, Han Solo's gun was from 1977. So, it's pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-nerf...

Yeah, if Han Solo existed in the Galaxies universe, he would be considered a total "n00b." But obviously anyone who knows Star Wars also knows that Han Solo would not be carrying around a sub-par weapon. Given the current version of the game, Han Solo would be carrying a DX2, FWG5, or he would've camped the geonosian cave for days/weeks to acquire a geo stun pistol. So basically if the developers would like to stay true to the films (heh, yeah right, who am I kidding?), the DL44 would be formidable.


However, I really doubt that the developers care about issues like these--especially if it relates to pistoleers. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

If you think about it, it was probably a "legendary gun" just like Princess Leia's CDEF Pistol (LOL) was also probably legendary to be able to do that much damage.

First of all there should be a DL 44 Heavy Blaster Pistol. Second of all it was favored by smugglers and other people involved in illegal activities because it was easily modifiable. Third, the DL 44's in game are merely listed as DL 44 pistol and DL 44 metal pistol.




Hey smugglers need something every other profession get's their own weapon and pistoleers already have several available.

I agree with the DL44 thing. It should be better. Oh and concerning Han Solo and how he didn't wear armor...Did anyone in the movies wear armor? Don't think so. Vader's armor was to keep him alive, Leia wore armor to disguise herself, as did Lando. Right? Don't remember seeing more than one person wearing ubese, let alone composite.

I deeply agree. You may also remember seeing Luke with the DL44 somewhere in there.


I'd like to add- The E-11 Blaster should be beefed up (I know it's not a pistol, but it's a bloody classic)
