I was once a master swordsman, dare i say it /whisper holo, but i really did like it, but I dropped it for my next holo TKM -(yes i am very lucky, my first one was artisian) so, a while l8er as a master TK, i was in the geo caves waiting for acklay to spawn, i see a triangle coming down the cave on ctrl+m radar, and wonder if he will die, i see him get to the kliknik room and see all the mobs in there drop in less than 30 seconds, i watch him come down until he finally walks through the door carrying an exocutioners hack, now i was master swordsman when this was coming out and it seemed to be all crap, but when i questioned him, he told me it was 900 max with powerup and slice......... I have no idea, but i wanted to know if this is a possible loot---or if it can be crafted
if it can be crafted, what does it take>?< i would guess bones, but i thought they only did hammers, and batons..........any help would be appreciated

Requires a Hack Schematic (from the DWB), Geo Cubes, Geo Pasteand/or some really swell looted cores.
Hacks are great...rare, but great. I don't think I'd waste any of mine chopping through the Lab, when a scythe or hammer will do just as well.

he might have meant a 900 dmg hammer.... hacks don't have that much xp and yes hammers can get that much crafted and are very good in the caves.

A crafted hack would need, like +300 max damage geo sowrd cores to hit that level of damage, so I think it must be an exceptional loot drop weapon...

it could have been a bug. at times i have been told that:
- when i was a pikeman/rifleman i was doing headshot3 with a pike equiped but to me i had a t21 equiped.
- as a swordsman i have been reported for soloing an elder with no armor on. but to me i had full comp on, to the other guy i was in street cloths.

If I remember correctly, hacks use reinforcement cores, which acklay bones replace. I'm not sure if they can replace the required Geonosian reinforcement cores or not, but if they can, I can believe the 900+ max damage with some really good bones.
If not, maybe (exceptional) cores?

Lets say his hack was finaly crafted with 500 max. dmg....finding a smuggler witch do the nasty-pup-slice("cheating" cuz drop a pupwhile sliceing)and he´s getting a 33% dmg.-slice...put a 16% max. dmg pup on it and after all u have ~900 max. dmg.

Hacks are Scythe clones with worse damage and higher speed. When I say clones, I really mean it, as they use exactly the same resources. Thus, they require Geonosian Sword Cores, not reinforcement. Acklay Bones replace reinforcement cores (geonosian or otherwise), so they can not be used in Hacks.
There are a couple problems with this. First off, the best scythe ever crafted is in the 510 max damage range (after slice). Pop a 16% damage powerup on it and you'll have roughly 592 damage. For this to be true the hack he had would have to have been around 775 max damage without a powerup, or 575 damage before slice (assuming it got a perfect 35% damage slice). A hack like this would require 300ish max damage looted Geonosian Sword Cores. This would have to be a Legendary drop.
So yes, technically it's possible, but the odds of it are EXTREMELY low, and it's much more likely that you experienced a graphical glitch and saw him wielding a Hack when he really had a PH out.
