Recon Sidearm

The Recon Sidearm is a Pvp Vendor blaster pistol that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Recon Sidearm can only be used at level 34 and up, but if you are higher than level 34 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. This blaster pistol can only be used empire side.

How to Get: PvP Vendor, Valor 34

This is a direct screenshot of the Recon Sidearm! The file name is recon-sidearm.jpg - as long as I named it right and didn't mix up its name with another weapon, this should be an exact screenshot of this weapon, which I or another player actively owned.

Sound: Cantina

All Blaster Pistols with the Cantina sound type have the same sound, including the Recon Sidearm. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Pistol sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedblasterholdout03 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the Recon Sidearm, but you can watch a video of the Heavy Modified Blaster Carbine weapon to hear the Cantina sound type, which is the same as the Recon Sidearm.

How to Get PvP Valor Vendor Weapons

Read more about these weapons at the SWTOR Valor Guide & Rewards page on Swtorista.com.

Your Valor rank signifies how much you've played Player vs Player content in Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the higher your valor rank, the more player-vs-player rewards you have access to, including weapons. PvP weapons require a certain Valor level, earned by playing PvP.

The Recon Sidearm is only available for Empire players who have reached Valor Level 34, and can be bought from the PvP Weapons Vendor in the Combat section of the Empire Fleet.

Identical Weapons

These weapons will have an identical or very similar look to the Recon Sidearm. There's no real name for the appearance, but I've labelled it blasterhigh02a02v04 which may be a name I call all identical weapons, or a name in the game files.
