E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler

weapon icon.

The E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler is a Rare Blue Drops blaster pistol that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler can be worn at any level in the Outfitter - it's a cosmetic weapon, and has no stats attached to it.

How to Get: Rare Blue Drops

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

This is not a direct screenshot of the E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler. 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: Bothan

All Blaster Pistols with the Bothan sound type have the same sound, including the E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Pistol sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedblasterholdout02 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler, but you can watch a video of the Custom-built Blaster Pistol weapon to hear the Bothan sound type, which is the same as the E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler.

How to Get Rare Blue World Drops Weapons

Read more about these weapons at the Rare Blue and Purple World Drop Gear in SWTOR page on Swtorista.com.

World Drop weapons are uncommon rare weapons that would drop randomly from enemies in the game. They have a complicated history and can be quite hard to find!

Identical Weapons

These weapons will have an identical or very similar look to the E-500 Heavy Sonic Needler. There's no real name for the appearance, but I've labelled it blasterlow03a01v01 which may be a name I call all identical weapons, or a name in the game files.

There are no weapons with this identical appearance, it's one of a kind in my database!
