Vette's Modified Sidearm

The Vette's Modified Sidearm is a Companion Original blaster pistol that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Vette's Modified Sidearm 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: Companion Original

This is not a direct screenshot of the Vette's Modified Sidearm. The file name is plexoid-onslaught-blaster-pistol-1307-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: Akaavi

All Blaster Pistols with the Akaavi sound type have the same sound, including the Vette's Modified Sidearm. This isn't the official name, and this Blaster Pistol sound type may be labelled something like weaponrangedblasterdisruptor01 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the Vette's Modified Sidearm, but you can watch a video of the Underworld Blaster weapon to hear the Akaavi sound type, which is the same as the Vette's Modified Sidearm.
