Tactical items are a high-level type of gear that was introduced to Star Wars: The Old Republic in the Onslaught expansion. You can equip one tactical item at a time, just like you can only have one earpiece equipped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> This guide is up to date for the 7.8 Update and Level 80!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The difference between tactical items and other pieces of gear is that instead of giving you additional stats, tactical items drastically change one of your existing abilities. Some tactical items can be used by all classes, some can only be used by certain classes, others are designed for specific advanced classes, and some are tied to specific combat proficiencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a Telekenetics Sage Jedi Consular could wear a general tactical item, a Jedi Consular tactical item, a Jedi Consular Sage tactical item, or wear a tactical item specifically for Telekenetics. If a tactical item is meant for a specific class, it will say so at the bottom of the tactical item’s tooltip.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tactical items can be switched out at any time when you aren\u2019t in combat, so you might want to keep a few on hand and switch them out as it makes sense. Tacticals aren\u2019t designed for a specific type of content, for example there\u2019s no pvp-only tactical items, but you may find different tacticals come in handy for the different types of content you enjoy. All tactical items are legacy-bound, which means you can share them between all your characters on your server.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I get a tactical?<\/h2>\n

Once you hit level 75, you can pick up a tactical and continue using it from levels 75-80. Most tacticals can be purchased from a vendor located in the Supplies section of the Fleet. Tactical items cost 3,000 Tech Fragments and 1 million credits.<\/strong> Tech Fragments can be earned through most activities at a high level including Conquest, Heroics, Dailies, Repeatable Story Chapters, Flashpoints, Operations, PvP and GSF.
