Offense is just as critical as defense, however, and powerful weaponry is necessary for any Bounty Hunter who might have to shoot his way out of a messy situation. Whether working for credits or principle, the Bounty Hunter pursues his targets with dogged determination and methodical precision.
Bounty Hunters are renowned for their versatility on the battlefield and their ability to go toe-to-toe with Force-users. Their legendary abilities in this arena have earned them the nickname "Jedi Killers".
Whoever they must face, however, the Bounty Hunter comes armed with the most-advanced weaponry on the black market, packing heavy firepower but always keeping a variety of tricks and gadgets ready to go. They have both the credits and the opportunities to experiment with all manner of gadgets. Though almost always handy with blasters, Bounty Hunters also keep tricks up their sleeve such as a wrist mounted missile launcher.
No matter how much planning and strategy is done before an assault, close-quarters combat is often unavoidable. Fortunately, Bounty Hunters are equipped with the gear to burn anyone or anything that decides to get too close. Below is a table that shows the companions available to the Bounty Hunter and what gifts they like. Otherwise "O". Due to the often dangerous status of Bounty Hunters' targets, a Bounty Hunter must be prepared for anything that is thrown their way, from blaster bolts to lightsabers.
A Bounty Hunters' primary weapon is their ever-present blaster, which is their main offensive. The Bounty Hunter is primarily a ranged class; doing it's best damage from far away and keeping out of range of powerful melee weapons.
In addition to their blasters, Bounty Hunters also carry compact rockets, flamethrowers, explosive darts and missiles inside their armor. Bounty Hunters unique resource system is heat. Most abilities the Bounty Hunter uses will generate heat inside their armor, with more heat being generated the stronger the ability is.
When the Bounty Hunter reaches Heat, they will be unable to use any abilities that generate heat until their heat level dissipates. There are several talents that reduce the heat cost of abilities, and increase the rate that heat dissipates. While heat dissipates fastest out of combat, when the Bounty Hunter is in combat, the longer they go without using heat-generating abilities, the faster their heat will dissipate.
Your heat dissipates faster at lower heat levels. As your heat builds, so does the time it takes to dissipate that heat. To maintain a low heat level, use Rapid Shots regularly to allow your heat to dissipate. This ship is gained after finishing the Dromund Kaas storyline, during which your handler for the Great Hunt tells you to steal a ship for the Hunt itself, as part of an old tradition.
The Bounty Hunter is then required to break into the hangar the Mantis is housed in, defeat the deck hands around it and take off in the stolen vessel.
The Mantis is a powerful attack spacecraft, built to match the attack power and speed of larger vessels, but with less space. This would result in a cramped, uncomfortable interior for the ship's crew, however the designers have made good use of vertical space and small bulkheads to give the ship a very large and open-feeling inside.
The Mantis' unique feature are the three extendable engines on "limbs" that stretch out from the bottom and both sides of the ship. These engines are folded in for landing, and are re-extended when the Mantis takes off. Two of the three primary blaster cannons are mounted on the left and right limbs of the Mantis, while the third is placed underneath the main cockpit.
There were other organizations, such as the House Benelex , Qulok's Fist , the GenoHaradan , and the Granse Confederacy , that served a similar purpose. Most bounties were presented to a guild, unless the presenter was able to contact the hunters directly. Posted bounties would then be sent to hunters affiliated with the guild and the hunt would be on. With the exception of powerful beings like Jabba the Hutt , Prince Xizor , Darth Vader , or intermediaries like Kud'ar Mub'at , most beings contracted hunters in this manner.
During the Jedi Civil War it was possible to merely walk into a bounty office and browse current bounties, as Revan did during his stay on Taris. In some cases, bounty hunters were required to lodge a B permit in order to collect the maximum possible bounty. Depending on the jurisdiction, a person without a permit could earn a bounty, as was the norm in Lamaredd.
Bounty hunters were almost always mistrusted and feared by locals around the galaxy. This was because their line of work was often very dangerous, and frightening. Many famous hunters earned reputations as fearsome as the most horrific Sith Lords and criminals. Bounty hunters were not universally reviled, however.
Those who followed government regulations and targeted dangerous criminals were often seen as on the side of law enforcement. On Haruun Kal , many Balawai children revered bounty hunters as larger than life figures. Generally, bounty hunters remained neutral during times of galactic conflict.
They were known to favor one side or another, although never officially joining any one group. Boba Fett often worked for the Empire and even had a professional relationship of mutual respect with Darth Vader. The Rebel Alliance rarely dealt with bounty hunters, lacking the credits and finding the hunters' methods contradictory to their ways of battle.
Most often, however, bounty hunters were hired by individuals—particularly criminals and crime lords. The Exchange , Black Sun , the Zann Consortium , and Jabba the Hutt were particularly fond of using them, both for their effectiveness and their availability. Bounty hunters were hired by the Empire, [2] and following the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY , a group of bounty hunters were hired to find the starship Millennium Falcon.
Other bounty hunters provided information to the Empire. One particular individual provided a tip which led to a raid to find Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker. Wookieepedia Explore. Star Wars.
