Well I just came back to SWG after a couple of months off and Im having a blast with the CU so far, PvE is more challenging and just tonight I tried myself at some PvP again. Went fairly well considering I keep hitting the wrong hotkeys, took down 1 carbineer before I got killed of by a jedi.


Anyways, I keep hearing about these cybernetic arms that are new with ROTW, especially the ranged arms wich add +5 range and 5+ accuracy each (?)

Of course I can see the benefits of the range and accuracy, but what if someone hits/shoots me in the arms? Wont that hurt like heck since I cant wear armor over them? I guess my question is, whats the drawback with these arms in PvE and PvP respectively.


Also I hear there are other arms out there, what do these do? And are there any other limbs you can get with enchancments?


Thanks in advance..

There is a plus 10 ranged arm from the Myyydril Quests and a plus 5 ranged arm from Qakkee in the Bestine Cantina, they also lower your accuracy. Together you get a max range of 80m, meaning you can even hit turrets and be out of their range.


As for the def, yes your def for your arms suffers, but you only have a 33% chance of being hit there, unless your opponent has bodyshot, and the arms do have a degree of def to them, just not as good as armour. You also get the ability Cyborg Snipe. i dont know how effective it is as I never wear my ranged arms, they are so ugly.


You can get other arms such as the Melee boosting arm and the rez arm, both of which you'll find in the Myyydril Caves. I'm sure there are other arms out there, and some legs, but I dont have them.

The extra ability granted by the cyber arm allows you to deathblow at a distance, which is useful for guys like us (if you like PvP).

Call me a noob, but I had no idea of this! What attack is it exactly that you execute to do this? I have both arms and each has a different special attack.

The ability you want is /cyborgCriticalSnipe


If you examine the arms you have, it should tell you what special abilities they grant. I believe you will need to make a macro or type the command manually to use it.

No, you will get an icon for your taskbar with it, just equip it and use ctrl a.

Thanks for the replys guys, guess the drawbacks arent that huge on them so I might consider start using them. But as someone stated they are rather ugly to say the least, how hard is it to equip/de-equip them, just talk to some guy in a med center or do I have to wait some time before I can take them on/off again?

They match my wookiees fur.... I never unequip them.


Really easy to install/remove/repair them. Just talk to the cybernetic specialist on the 2nd floor of the Theed Med Center. He charges about 5k for an add/remove.

I hated they way they looked too. Getting a set of armor made with color to match the arms goes a long way toward minimizing this aspect though. And yes, the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages.

Im a newb as far as these arms go as well. Can you equip certain parts of your armor with these? IE still wear a helmet chest plate, etc but not shoulder or any arm armor?

Also, what level of difficulty are the quests for them? Would you recomend being CL 80 first before attempting the quest?

Thanks for all the input, guess I will see about getting a pair and just use them when I need them and rather take them of for day to day business.

The tip about getting special armour made isnt that bad though, might look better with some colour matching padded..


And to my knowledge you can wear all armor as usual except shoulder and bicep, and gloves if you have both arms on.

Gloves can be used.
