Highlights<\/p>\n
Dynamic Encounters<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Dynamic Encounters is new open world content that offers a variety of missions for players to experience. They are meant to breathe life into the planets they inhabit, giving players a sense that something is always happening at any given time. As players explore planets, they will naturally come across Dynamic Encounters or they can find active Encounters on their map. Missions can range from taking out Hidden Chain forces to herding escaped Banthas running amok in a space port. These Encounters will debut on Hoth and Tatooine with 7.6.<\/p>\n Hidden Chain Invasions are special Dynamic Encounters where players are tasked with stopping Heta Kol\u2019s forces as they continue to wreak havoc in the galaxy. These Encounters can take place on Hoth and Tattooine, but can also be found on several other planets.<\/p>\n As players complete Dynamic Encounters, they can receive special rewards like unlocking various Achievements, obtaining the Freckled Loth-cat Kitten pet and Hidden Chain and Electric Gaze armor sets. Completing the meta-achievents of each planet will grant the themed Frozen Peaks and Desert Sand Mounts.<\/p>\n[[Guide<\/a>]]\n The Propagator Core XR-53 Lair Boss<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A new lair boss will be coming with 7.6.
