Bounty Hunter Class Guide

The Bounty Hunter is the ultimate mercenary for hire, going in, getting out...always finishing the job. While The Sith Empire usually has allies they "own", the Bounty Hunters are an exception, the Sith Empire using them only because the job gets done.

The only things the Bounty Hunter trust are credits and his weapons, everything else is just a tool to get things done. The Bounty Hunter relies on heavy armor, powerful weaponry and a wide range of gadgets and tricks..just in case.

The Bounty Hunter's equivalent for The Republic, is the Trooper. His main resource is heat...he needs to mantain low equipment temperature. The Bounty Hunter's starting planet is Hutta, sharing it with the Imperial Agent.

Advanced Classes

Let's take a look at the Bounty Hunter's Advanced Classes, Powertech and Mercenary.

The Powertech is based more on defense, with mid-range attacks and heavy armor and powerful shields. The two Powertech skill trees are Shield Tech and Advanced Prototype.

Powertech Trees

Shield Tech - Further boosts the Powertech's defensive technology, allowing him to soak up attacks.

Advanced Prototype - The latest technology makes the Powertech a versatile fighter against any enemy.

The Mercenary is a mid-long ranged heavy damage dealer, packing 2 blasters, powerful missiles and it's able to heal his allies. The two Mercenary skill trees are Arsenal and Bodyguard.

Mercenary Trees

Arsenal - An advanced rocketry build, specialized in dealing heavy damage and killing the enemy fast.

Bodyguard - Gives the Bounty Hunter the proper tech and skills to heal his allies.

The shared tree is Pyrotech, upgrading the BH's arsenal to deal more damage to his enemies.

Species

The confirmed species are Chiss, Cyborg, Human, Rattataki and Zabrak.

Primary Stat

The primary stat of the Bounty Hunter is Aim (increases your ranged damage). Stacking as much Aim as possible, will burst your damage for DPS skill trees and increase your healing for healer skill trees, so it remains the primary stat no matter what AC / skill tree you choose.

Starships

The Bounty Hunter uses the D5-Mantis Patrol Craft, which can be described as a small/medium ship, packing guns suited for much larger vessels.

In other words, the D5-Mantis is a versatile and extremely powerful space predator.
