Geonosian Sonic Blaster

The Geonosian Sonic Blaster is a pistol crafted by Munitions Traders from a looted schematic. It cannot be learned from the standard profession tree — players must first obtain the schematic as loot, which makes the resulting weapon comparatively rare on player markets.

How to acquire

Crafting requires a Geonosian Power Cube, a Blaster Pistol Barrel Component, and a Ranged Weapon Core, plus 150 Cubirian Steel, 85 Chromium Aluminum, and 28 Polymer. The Power Cube itself is a rare looted component, so both the schematic and the inputs gate the final supply. Optional Weapon Scope and Weapon Stock attachments add damage.

Why it matters

Because both the schematic and a key component are looted, the Geonosian Sonic Blaster represents a premium pistol slot for Munitions Traders who can source the parts — a status sidearm that sits well above standard pistol crafts in perceived value.

Combat stats

• Damage: 290–360 blast (per-shot, pre-mitigation)
• Attack speed: 3.6s base
• Effective range: 35 m
• Damage type: blast (sonic flavor; maps to blast in SWG’s eight damage-type taxonomy — no native sonic mitigation slot)

Sonic damage hits armor profiles that tilt heavy on energy resistance particularly hard, which is part of what gives the Geonosian Sonic Blaster its end-game pistol reputation. Crafted by Weaponsmith Traders. Values are the canonical NGE midpoint per SWG Fandom; rolls vary with the Geonosian Power Cube component quality.
