The Chopper

The The Chopper is a Crafting Armstech Archived Unique Trainer vibrosword that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The The Chopper can be worn at any level in the Outfitter - it's a cosmetic weapon, and has no stats attached to it.

This is a direct screenshot of the The Chopper! The file name is the-chopper-1751-thumbnail.png - 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: Grit

All Blaster Pistols with the Grit sound type have the same sound, including the The Chopper. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Pistol sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedblasternormal01 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the The Chopper, but you can watch a video of the Grit weapon to hear the Grit sound type, which is the same as the The Chopper.

How to Get Archived Armstech Trainer Unique Weapons

Read more about these weapons at the SWTOR Armstech Crafting Guide page on Swtorista.com.

The Armstech crew skill trainer can teach players how to craft many crafted weapons sets as they level up in Armstech. However, these semi-retired crafted weapons sets are no longer available to be learned from the Armstech trainer from the launch of the game 1.0 - they were removed from the trainer in Update 4.0, and replaced with a more streamlined set of weapons schematics to be learned from the trainer. However, if you can find someone who learned the old schematics from the trainer pre-4.0, they can craft you these items, as the crafted items are Binds on Equip.

How to get the The Chopper

The The Chopper is a crafted Vibrosword, but the ability to learn how to craft it yourself is no longer available. Only players who learned the ability to craft it in the past can craft it now - so you will need to find someone who can craft it for you, or get lucky and find it on the GTN.

These weapons will have an identical or very similar look to the The Chopper. There's no real name for the appearance, but I've labelled it electrobladehigh01a01v01 which may be a name I call all identical weapons, or a name in the game files.

These weapons will have a similar appearance to the The Chopper, either in the same family of weapons or have some similar features.

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