External Guide overview with pre-release detail limits
§The four recorded weapon types#
Blaster Pistol
External Guide claimMobile follow-up fire
GamesRadar records low-cost shots with lower individual damage and strong mobility value.
Best fit: Mobile attackers, weak-target cleanup, and turns that need room for movement or abilities.
Longarm Blaster
External Guide claimLong-range precision
GamesRadar records a larger AP investment per shot in exchange for higher range, damage, and Critical potential.
Best fit: Sharpshooter-style Operators who can protect a firing position and value sightlines.
Repeater
External Guide claimCommitted burst
The guide records the weapon as spending the Operator's remaining AP for one concentrated attack.
Best fit: Operators who can stay in position and invest most of the turn into one target.
§Choose by turn pattern#
| Question | Starting direction | Reason | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| I need a safe default | Blaster Rifle | Start with Blaster Rifle while you learn how often the Operator moves, uses Utility, and takes follow-up shots. | External Guide interpretation |
| I move every turn | Blaster Pistol | Consider Blaster Pistol so the weapon leaves more room for repositioning and low-cost follow-up attacks. | External Guide interpretation |
| I can hold a firing lane | Longarm Blaster | Consider Longarm Blaster when range and precision matter more than flexible movement. | External Guide interpretation |
| I want one damage turn | Repeater | Consider Repeater when the Operator can remain in place and commit the remaining AP to a priority target. | External Guide interpretation |

Tel-Rea Vokoss
External Guide claim, launch limits under reviewTel-Rea is recorded as using a dedicated Lightsaber rather than the four ordinary gun categories.
Standard Operators
External Guide claim, weapon matrix under reviewThe current guide source presents weapon choice as a build layer connected to role, movement, and equipment rather than a permanent one-class lock.
