Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3

The Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3 is a Heroic Purple Drops blaster pistol that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3 can be worn at any level in the Outfitter - it's a cosmetic weapon, and has no stats attached to it.

How to Get: Heroic Purple Drops

This is a direct screenshot of the Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3! The file name is thermal-boltblasters-offhand-blaster-mk-3-1718-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: Artful

All Blaster Pistols with the Artful sound type have the same sound, including the Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Pistol sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedblasternormal06 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3, but you can watch a video of the Inscrutable Blaster Pistol weapon to hear the Artful sound type, which is the same as the Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3.

How to Get Rare Heroic Drops Weapons

Heroic Drop weapons are uncommon rare weapons that would drop randomly from enemies in the game, and have the exact same look at the low-level weapons you earn from Heroics while levelling up. The difference is that these ones do not come directly as a quest reward, have a purple border, and are Binds on Equip which means they are able to be bought and sold on the GTN.

Identical Weapons

These weapons will have an identical or very similar look to the Thermal Boltblaster's Offhand Blaster MK-3. There's no real name for the appearance, but I've labelled it blasterhigh12a01v01 which may be a name I call all identical weapons, or a name in the game files.
