J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle

The J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle is a Retired Flashpoint sniper rifle that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The J-21 Rotary 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 Flashpoint

This is not a direct screenshot of the J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle. The file name is pulse-wave-carbine-5215-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: Dewback

All Sniper Rifles with the Dewback sound type have the same sound, including the J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle. This isn't the official name, and this Sniper Rifle sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedriflesniper04 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle, but you can watch a video of the Primordial Sniper Rifle weapon to hear the Dewback sound type, which is the same as the J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle.

How to Get Retired Flashpoint Weapons

Retired Flashpoint weapons are retired, which means they are no longer obtainable. You might be able to find a similar look-alike weapon below.

Identical Weapons

These weapons will have an identical or very similar look to the J-21 Rotary Sniper Rifle. There's no real name for the appearance, but I've labelled it riflehigh05a02v04 which may be a name I call all identical weapons, or a name in the game files.
