Dread Guard Sniper Rifle

The Dread Guard Sniper Rifle is a Retired Endgame Dread Guard sniper rifle that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Dread Guard Sniper Rifle 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: Retired Endgame Dread Guard

This is not a direct screenshot of the Dread Guard Sniper Rifle. The file name is glasteel-onslaught-sniper-rifle-4202-thumbnail.png - 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: Abeloth

All Blaster Rifles with the Abeloth sound type have the same sound, including the Dread Guard Sniper Rifle. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Rifle sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedriflenormal01 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the Dread Guard Sniper Rifle, but you can watch a video of the Outbreak Response Blaster Rifle weapon to hear the Abeloth sound type, which is the same as the Dread Guard Sniper Rifle.
