[@Swtorista]

Thanks a bunch Arlindo!

[@dylanwight5764]

Blaster pistols are at their best when they're based on early self-loading pistols. The Bergmanns, the Mausers even the Lugers (and you may as well throw in the Rugers here too) all lend themselves perfectly to that retro space-gun look.

[@andredulac4456]

I love how swtor used a late Bergmann for the beryar's mk3 before the Mandalorian came out with it's early Bergmann

[@MarshalHamster]

To your point, call me crazy but I think Rascal’s Way fits right in with that era. Just basing my guess strictly on appearance, it looks like it was derived from one of the Browning designs that Colt iterated on to get to the 1911

[@dylanwight5764]

@@MarshalHamster Yeah, I thought it had a bit of the FN 1900 lineage in it...

[@damontcs]

The Gambler's Luck blaster pistol is my favorite, mostly because it reminds me a lot of Deckard's gun from Bladerunner, right down to the wooden handle.

[@syversyver5525]

Same

[@MrScar88]

Im with you. I use it on my bounty hunter. Fits him nicely.

[@courier6653]

Reminds me of that gun from fnv

[@aaronkersey5812]

and gamblers luck is a fallout new vegas ref as well!

[@pedrolobo4860]

It does not look like Deckard's gun... It IS Deckard's gun. Literally. New Vegas' That Gun is also literally just Deckard's pistol...

[@Colovian_Dani]

Funnily enough, I tend to enjoy the simpler pistols with fluted openings. Shows the tunings effect and color well :D

[@ArngrimTV]

Finally the best list since BH Armor. I tend to prefer the simpler looking blasters, but i try to collect all of them on my account. Love the Payday Blaster one for sure, love to see more holsters in the future for sure, thats def my favorite aspect of them. Good work on the list!

[@Swtorista]

[@ayari5852]

Another fun thing of note for the Payday's Blaster pistol, Rascal's way blaster pistol and the Masterwork blaster pistols all have some kind of slide or biece of metal that gets pulled back per shot. it's something i noticed when playing that i thought was pretty neat.

[@memnarch129]

Man no love for my favorites, the Czerka Blaster Pistols.

[@TerLoki]

There are so many cool blasters in SWtOR that this list only scratches the surface really, and they can get even cooler if you have an eye for the real-world and film inspirations for them. A lot of the more "simple" designs shown are based off a Mauser C36, same as Han Solo's classic blaster. My personal favorite from this pattern is the HZ-76 Firestorm just for the white color and clean look. If the Agent could use a pistol (and they really should be able to at least as Operative) my go-to would be the GR-4 ST. It's a nice compact design overall that's clearly inspired by the classic Luger, complete with a nice suppressor on the barrel. Alternatively the Scorpion TK Prototype, DT-11, or GL-13 also fill the role of a nice compact pistol. Moving a little outside the realm of pure pistols, if you're looking for something more like the classic Stormtrooper rifle you can't go wrong with the Imperial E-1 Enforcer. It clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the same cut-down German machineguns as the Stormtroopers used while adding some neat orange paint detailing. For more of a Western revolver look, the Nebula and Aikion are good choices, along with Altuur's blasters, Nico's blaster, or the TM-59. Perfect for a Scoundrel or Gunslinger on Tatooine. If you're looking for something that says "hand-cannon" though, there are a few options like the Starforged (my favorite), Balmorran, and Interstellar Regulator's blasters; but really nothing in this category beats out Provenance with that huge animated bolt and RIDICULOUS muzzle flash. The Ardent Defender is a good pick too.

[@koenvansanten3426]

Wow, i was looking for this video in your playlist yesterday because i need one for my BH. And a few hours later you actualy upload it! Nice!

[@Swtorista]

haha! been wanting to make this one for a long time

[@smartalec2001]

I'm fond of the old Kingpin’s Blaster Pistol from the Nar Shaadaa Nightlife event.

[@crossdimension4031]

I use this one on my scoundrel. Surprised it isn't on the list. I love the laser sight which changes color with the color crystal.

[@deadshot5007]

I have liked only a few blasters in swtor. Glad to see some in this list.

[@budjy1]

Surprised that it wasn't mentioned that the gambler's luck pistol is based on the main pistol from blade runner...

[@DeadUponAll]

That all black fit is really nice. This is helpful, I just started my Bounty Hunter play through, I have not played another class besides Sith Marauder, so I decided to experience new story.

[@DarthAxolotl]

The BH story is one of my favourites (although I may be biased because it was my first class), It felt more entertaining than the usual, I use the force and need to get more powerful

[@DeadUponAll]

@@DarthAxolotl I’m very biased about the Sith Warrior storyline. I just hope the rest is as good it’s story was.

[@nachoxsupreme1444]

My fav is the D-200 Military Enforcer. It’s a rare item that’s said to drop at lowbie levels from killing random mobs on either Kaas or Coruscant. Thankfully I found it on the gtn a while back for a decent price tho.

[@juli2657]

I am playing the game more or less for 5 years now and I'm really glad that there are still some BPs I didn't know yet and that look pretty awesome. Thanks for the video

[@lemonlord0132]

I used Flashy for most of the game but eventually moved onto the HZ-77 blaster pistol

[@scipio0793]

Hi swtorista, whats the black coat outfit ur wearing when u show mischief & anarchy? Nice vid!

[@Yuri81]

@swtorista what about "hylo visz blaster pistol"? it may longer be buildable but its still around and i bought several for my smuggler and bounty hunter characters.

[@WonderWomanandBatman]

Top 10 Blaster Cannons next pls! Keep up the good work Swtorista! But if I may make a suggestion perhaps future lists can have the Cartel items listed seperately so that they don't dominate the ranking. Additionally, previous lists can be revised and given this treatment. Us F2P peeps could use some love too

[@johnredcorn4407]

Just save up your credits and buy the same items that Subs use

[@WonderWomanandBatman]

@@johnredcorn4407 Good in theory but I'm restricted from buying items worth more than 1M

[@johnredcorn4407]

@@WonderWomanandBatman Have you ever thought to whisper the sub that is selling the item on the auction house, and offer to pay him w/e the price is but 1M at a time. You can store more than 1M in your legacy bank.

[@WonderWomanandBatman]

@@johnredcorn4407 Installments is an interesting idea. If only the prices were not so ridiculous. 1 Cartel item can bankrupt me

[@Swtorista]

Unfortunately for "Top tens" the coolest ones are all cartel. Maybe in the future I can make some videos differently that are not top tens, but instead just showing off some earnable weapons. I did make sure to include in every video at least a few earnable ones. This list was really hard though and mostly wound up cartel.

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

0:20 this helmet is badass

[@sybald4592]

the starforged blaster pistols are what i use on most... i never knew of those pirate looking ones! those look awesome

[@thewalex]

My personal favorites are Fortitude and Grit that are available at the Cartel Bazaar as well as the GTN. They remind me of IG-88’s blasters. Fortitude especially almost looks like a rifle instead of a pistol! I think the Gambler’s Luck design was based on Deckard’s pistol in Blade Runner. They also made that same design into a blaster rifle (Pure Sabacc) and a sniper rifle (Idiot’s Array)!

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

4:30 Is it just me or do they have two of the same gun equipped, aren’t Mischief and Anarchy different looking somehow?

[@talon842]

The Gambler's Luck Blaster looks like it was modeled after the pistol used in Blade Runner

[@jameswagstaff984]

The rakghoul and bounty Broker's pistols are cool too, but it's your list

[@wnen8611]

My favorite is the one from the Lightside/Darkside vendor, It looks like the Balmoran hand Cannon Grek but has 2 lasers on it top and bottom. I put on the laser sight tuning for a third laser and for some reason I still miss my target :P

[@seanheath4492]

Get confused about which laser you're using to aim? :P

[@gasguy5386]

Righteous Harbinger's Blaster for 20 LS tokens

[@acolytetojippity]

ty for including what they each sound like! also, I think the chunky three barrel pistol from the Bounty Hunt event should be on the list. as far as unique, Provenance deserves a special mention, with the muzzle flare and clip that ejects after every burst. plus it's another chunky handcannon style gun.

[@tlotpwist3417]

Beryar and Gladiator look awesome. Do these moving parts animations always show up in cutscenes when you draw one?

[@Haggispk]

Idk if you noticed but the gamblers luck pistol is based off Blade Runner. It's really cool to see some legendary handguns from era defining cinema make it's way into the star wars universe.

[@failedexperiment9073]

My personal favourite is GR-10 plasma core blaster. Very good looking, nice firing sound and is ridiculously cheap (I still can't believe you can actually buy a gun this nice while being preffered/F2P).

[@Lightfire398]

I’ve got one of those for my BH, paired with a slightly cut down version. I like the Main hand/Off hand mix it creates

[@lewisharty8801]

Rascal's Way is my favorite pistol, because of the mussle flash/firing pattern. It's firing sound is also my favorite.

[@imsleepynowgn6934]

And just as I was about to create my gunslinger. This whole thing lining up

[@MarcusBingo]

FYI: Mischief and Anarchy are the coolest looking, best sounding, and completely bugged platinum items that have never been fixed. Put one on, do a cutscene and you'll end up with your holster on your left hip and pistol without a holster on your right hip. As much as I love the design and would use both if they worked in a heartbeat I have come to hate them because I can't use them.

[@andrewtaylor940]

I can't speak for all of the Holstered platinum pistols. But I can attest that the DT-11 pistols do the same thing when dual wielding them. Cutscenes make one of your holsters disappear on your character model.

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Yeah as a future bounty hunter player that gladiator blaster looking mighty fine.

[@JawaFace]

I love the Stronghold Defender pistol, it looks like a 1800's revolver. Gives that extra space cowboy vibe XD

[@ricksheard1093]

my Merc has the triple barrelled pistol from the Bounty Hunter event... was kind of surprised that this wasn't included

[@leonielson7138]

I like pairing the Black Nebula Heavy Blaster with the R-30017 Aikion Blaster in the left hand for duel wielding, because the Aikion lacks the holographic targeting reticle out the left side of the blaster.

[@Ippotamus]

Smuggler main so I had to chime in. My top blaster is the R-30017 Aikion Blaster I have 100% blasters unlocked for no apparent reason because I have never switched these out. :D For my merc I use the GEMINI MK-5 Eliminator's Blaster Pistols. The cute casing opens to reveal the barrels inside. Tricky, stealthy AND cute!

[@johnredcorn4407]

You never mentioned the dark side and or light side specific blaster pistols, those definitely belong on the list

[@Swtorista]

I love those! This list was a really hard one

[@junkiexl86]

Rascals Way, just the sound alone. Most satisfying to use.

[@jlord5078]

I actually really like the Primordial pistol. It's simple, but still stylish.

[@MCcrepperify]

the starforged pistol with the yellow lights and the mag has been my BHs goto blasters since I got a hold of em.

[@daxfrost5942]

I love your content. Hope you're still making it! SWTOR is still so fun.

[@Swtorista]

thanks for the nice comment, and yep! working on lots of new guides all the time!

[@valius95]

I really like the Artful Trickster's Heavy Blaster. It's really sleek and clean with a built-in laser sight and comes decently cheap on the GTN (picked mine up for around 1.4 mil)

[@shannonrhoads7099]

I picked up the Aikion plaster early on in the game. I tend to use it on gunslingers/mercenaries, especially if I can get one of those Western style hats. When combined with some of the better smuggler sets out there, especially, it looks good.

[@mysteryone8462]

I use the BL-28 Blaster on my Powertech, Mercenary, and my recent Scoundrel. I've used that thing since Ord Mantell for my Scoundrel xD

[@Nemoticon]

I like the LS/DS blasters because they got this huge fancy hologram around the barrels that can be seen from afar and don't cost a bomb to buy!!

[@LuthyMoonstalker]

The top ranked one is basically a m1911 with some technoclutter slapped on

[@cannonfodder8907]

So upset I didn't get rascals way when I had the chance, I came close so many times! I hope it comes back to the cartel

[@dscribner3722]

What blaster is at the 39 second mark of this video??

[@yulfine1688]

really wish theyd do a sound overhaul on the weapons..

[@TheSeleneSeipher]

Partial to the starforged series myself. Love rocking two of those bad boys on my merc.

[@sunno7954]

I love the dedication.

[@jgeear]

0.42 what is the name of this blaster???

[@aronjohnson2388]

Artful Trickster's heavy blaster. Have a gunslinger using a pair. Also I have a mercenary using the Black Nebula as a main because of the scanner and the R-30017 as the off hand because the two pistols look so much like each other.

[@jarifauti4586]

The "Heavy modified blaster carbine" from the Bounty hunter event is pretty sick. Ok it is a very big gun. It may take some time but is farmeble. :)

[@Swtorista]

haha!

[@Lexi_SubZero]

My TOP 3: 1. Ardent Defender's Blaster...essentially Kyle Katarn's Bryar pistol 2. Gambler's Luck...looks a lot like Deckard's pistol (Blade Runner) 3. The RK-4/6 and RK-5/7 Starforged blaster sets

[@caos1925]

I like the Aikion, I've always had a thing for revolver type weapons, though its whole name doesn't really roll off the tongue which is a shame.

[@reedlarson3153]

I use the Zakuulan Exile's and Zaduulan Exile's Offhand blasters. The Zakuulan Exile's Blaster has an animated feature that can change color with your color crystal.

[@pprot1337]

9:19 OMG THAT'S DECKARD'S PISTOL FROM BLADERUNNER. Aight, no question, Im gonna get this

[@moonmagi]

I saved up the credits to buy the Black Nebula Heavy Blaster back in the day. I thought it was so cool looking. I finally got it, and used it for the first time. I was so disappointed when I found out that it had the HUD. It just makes it look dumb to me, especially dual wielding. I wound up getting the R-30017 Aikion Blaster shortly there after. Quick question, is there a blaster rifle with the same firing effects as the Rascal's Way?

[@Swtorista]

I think there is but I forget which! I've got videos of them all at swtorista.com/weapons

[@Kit_Kat_Catastrophe]

I wish they'd fix Nico Okarr's pistols, I know it's stupid but it bothers me that when you unsheath them they turn huge

[@hofii2]

I miss the old sound for the Balmorran Hand Cannon.

[@faustblitz9033]

Number one is also my favorite. It looks like a moddet Colt 1911 from WW2. Very nice!

[@lazypizzaguy]

[@asamibeniko]

My alternate self in a parallel universe who is a bounty hunter: this video is,interesting

[@ingolf82]

the R-30017 is by far the best looking pistol in the game. it is the only model that looks like an actual revolver that you can get 2 of. in the smuggler story, Corso gives you one that also looks like a revolver pretty early on, but you only get one of them, so if you play as a gunslinger, too bad, but thats where the R-30017 comes in.

[@thudson25]

DT-11. My favorite balance of look and sound.

[@moonisflat2538]

Where is DT-11? :O The built-in visual effect and sound are great!

[@Shadamehr100]

My favourite on my Sawbones is the GR-4 ST Blaster. Looks like a Luger pistol with a silencer fitted.

[@bowler-hatnerd7075]

The gambler's luck pistols reminds me of "that gun" from fallout new vegas. Coupled with the outer rim officer set, you have a fairly decent courier/ desert ranger cosplay

It's a sin the Zakuulan Exile's Blaster isn't on the list, it's off the CM; but it's a hardcore pistol with a color crystal laser attached to a knife on the underbarrel that extends when drawn. It nails every mark on the hardcore grunge/punk list lol

the F7 is my main smugglers pistol

[@haraldlorentzen40]

One that I use a lot since it was released is the Payday blaster. It's basically Din Djarin's gun with a scope added to it. That and the Amban blaster rifle looks really good and more simple designs than some that are just silly imo, with glowing lights, wich never made much sense to me. Glowing lights or parts on a weapon is just another way to say I'm over here, shoot me. Same with armors that have lights one them. Might look cool, but makes no sense at all tactically speaking.

[@olotolow]

This might not be the right section/Video to ask this, but i started playing swtor a month ago and i m completly in to it. I love crafting in mmo's (played alot of ff14) but i m wondering how do people have so much credits? The best ways to make Credit's is by selling things on GTN, but there is still a market fee so credits should decrease over time. Where are all these credits coming from? there are ways to make dozens if not up to a 100m+ credits per hour farming and selling things on the gtn but if you get them from the game (Not from other Players) i cant find a way that gives even close to these amounts. So where is it all coming from?

[@Swtorista]

1) Running say heroics can get you up to a million an hour. 2) Naturally running story and not spending really adds up. I think I had 2 mill by the time i finished the second expansion. 3) and most importantly, there was an exploit a while ago that "generated" credits in the billions and it never got fully taken out of the market/economy.
