Archaeologist's Holdout

weapon icon.

The Archaeologist's Holdout is a Companion Original blaster pistol that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Archaeologist's Holdout can only be used at a specific level and up, but if you are higher than the weapon's required level, you can wear it cosmetically in the Outfitter to show its appearance on your character while using a higher-level weapon in your Gear tab for stats.

How to Get: Companion Original

I don't have a picture of this weapon uploaded to the site yet.

This is not a direct screenshot of the Archaeologist's Holdout. The file name is - as far as I can tell it is identical to another weapon, so I re-used the screenshots. There may be small variations that I could not tell apart when comparing thumbnails, previews or item icons.

Sound: Cadera

All Blaster Pistols with the Cadera sound type have the same sound, including the Archaeologist's Holdout. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Pistol sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedblasterdisruptor03 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the Archaeologist's Holdout, but you can watch a video of the Precise Insurgent's Lightsaber weapon to hear the Cadera sound type, which is the same as the Archaeologist's Holdout.
