Database · 4 types

Zero Company weapons

Four weapon types are confirmed: Longarm, Repeater, Rifle and Pistol. Any Operator can carry any of them, and all four now carry a reported damage figure and Action Point cost from the retail build. Accuracy is the statistic still missing.

Star Wars Zero Company has four weapon types: Longarm, Repeater, Rifle and Pistol. There is no fifth type. Weapon choice is separate from Specialization — any class can carry any of the four — and each weapon has Modification Slots whose number grows over the campaign. The retail build has since been reported on: a Longarm deals 12 damage for 2 AP, a Rifle 10 for 1 AP then 2 for a second shot, a Repeater 8 while consuming every remaining point, and a Pistol 6 for 1 AP. Accuracy is the one statistic nobody has published.

Read the Repeater’s 8 differently from the other three. Its shot always consumes every remaining Action Point and gains a reported — but unpublished — bonus for spending two or three, so 8 is the floor of an attack rather than the output of one. That is why no damage-per-Action-Point column appears on this page: it would be arithmetic for three weapons and invention for the fourth.

Accuracy is still not in the database, and the damage figures rest on one outlet

Damage, critical damage, range bands and Action Point costs are all here as of 27 August 2026, and every one of them was observed by somebody else playing the retail build rather than measured by us or published by EA. The Action Point behaviour is corroborated by two independent outlets; each damage figure rests on a single one, so treat the numbers as reported rather than settled.

Accuracy curves, critical rates and Modification Slot counts have no published figure anywhere, and the Repeater’s damage at 2 and 3 Action Points is reported to exist without being stated. Any weapon figure attributed to Zero Company Builds outside what is on this page did not come from us.

The four weapon types

Pistol

Confirmed

close range · 1 AP a shot · 6 dmg · +4 crit

Close-to-medium sidearm. The natural fit for Specializations that want to act several times per turn rather than once.

One AP a shot, every shot. Three Pistol attacks fit in a standard turn if nothing else is spent, which is the most attacks any weapon gets, and the reason the trade against its damage is the whole point of the type.[2]

The lowest base damage of the four, and the highest ceiling per turn: three shots for three points is 18 before criticals, which is more than a Longarm's single 12. The catch is Defense. Defense is flat damage reduction subtracted per hit, so it taxes a 6-damage shot three times over a turn where it taxes a Longarm's once — which is why the Scoundrel's four points of armour penetration are worth more beside a Pistol than beside anything else. Corroborated: two launch-week outlets publish this figure independently. Neither is EA and nobody here has reproduced it, so it is retail-reported rather than tested.[3]

Updated 2026-08-26. The AP cost is retail-reported, not official: a launch-week review states pistols "always cost one AP to fire" and deal the least damage. The record now carries a number for the first time, and it is deliberately the *cost* rather than the damage — "least" is a comparison, not a figure, and no figure was given. What this retires is the standing warning below. The 'low AP cost' line was inference from the Gunslinger's multi-attack identity and had to be kept out of the record; it turned out to be right, which is not the same as it having been publishable. Dual-wielding is still asserted by several sites and still stated by nobody. Earlier note, 2026-08-19. The weapon type is confirmed. The 'low AP cost' expectation is inference from the Gunslinger's multi-attack identity and must not be presented as fact — and so is dual-wielding, which several sites assert and no source states. Updated 2026-08-19. A previewer describes pistols as weak in raw damage but firable more often, and builds a crit-focused Gunslinger on exactly that trade. That is one player's account of one build, not a damage figure, so nothing numeric changes here — but it is the first evidence that the fire-rate-for-damage trade is real rather than assumed, which is why the crit tag is now earned and why the shared unknowns still carry every actual number.

Rifle

Confirmed

medium range · 1 then 2 AP · 10 dmg · +6 crit

Medium-range generalist. The default choice when a build has no specific range requirement.

The only weapon that charges more the second time. One AP for the first shot and two for the second spends the whole three-point turn on two attacks — so a Rifle Operator who has already moved cannot fire twice, and one who wants to fire twice cannot move at all.[2]

The best opening shot in the game per point spent: 10 damage for 1 AP, where a Pistol pays the same point for 6. That is the whole case for the Rifle, and it is why its escalating second shot is a fair price rather than a penalty — the first one was underpriced. Two shots is 20 over a turn, the highest of the four, and it costs every point of movement to get. Corroborated: two launch-week outlets publish this figure independently. Neither is EA and nobody here has reproduced it, so it is retail-reported rather than tested.[3]

Updated 2026-08-26. The escalating cost is the single most build-relevant weapon fact published so far, and it is the one this database had no shape to hold: a weapon whose second attack costs more than its first cannot be described by one number, which is why `WeaponApCost` exists. Retail-reported from one review — it is the first candidate for retesting, because a 1-then-2 pattern is exactly the kind of thing a balance patch moves.

Longarm

Confirmed

long range · 2 AP a shot · 12 dmg · +12 crit

Long-range precision. Pairs with high ground, which improves hit chance, and with priority-target elimination.

Two AP a shot, and the longest range in the game. Firing once out of a standard three-point turn leaves one AP over — enough to reposition or hold, never enough for a second shot.[2]

The highest base damage and the only weapon whose critical bonus equals its base — a critical doubles it outright, where every other type adds a fraction. That makes the Longarm the best carrier of a guaranteed critical in the game, which is exactly what a Scoundrel's Identify Weakness supplies. Per point spent it is the worst of the four at 6 a shot, and the reason to carry one is the single number it lands, not the rate. Corroborated: two launch-week outlets publish this figure independently. Neither is EA and nobody here has reproduced it, so it is retail-reported rather than tested.[3]

Updated 2026-08-26, and this record's own unknown is answered rather than narrowed. It had carried "whether Longarm attacks consume all available AP, which would end the Operator's turn" since 2026-08-13, on the reasoning that section 2.3 confirms some attacks do and the Longarm was the likeliest candidate. It does not: a launch-week review reports it as a flat two AP, which leaves one over. The inference was wrong, and it is worth saying so plainly rather than deleting the line — a reasonable guess that survived two weeks in the unknowns box is exactly the kind this site is meant to leave falsifiable. The all-AP rule still holds somewhere. It is now a question about Abilities rather than about this weapon. This is the type people search for as a 'sniper rifle'; see `weaponTerminology`, and note that the review reaches for the same word.

Repeater

Confirmed

medium range · All remaining AP · 8 dmg · +4 crit

Sustained close-to-medium fire. The likely home for frontline Specializations that hold a position.

A Repeater shot always consumes every remaining Action Point, and pays for the points with damage: firing at 2 or 3 AP is reported to add a significant bonus, unquantified. So it has no fixed price — fired first it costs the turn, fired after two moves it costs one point and hits for the least. It is the only weapon whose cost is decided by when you fire it rather than by what it is.[2]

8 is the floor, not the output. Every other figure on this page describes a whole attack; this one describes an attack fired with a single point left, before an unpublished bonus for spending two or three. That is why the Repeater is left out of every damage-per-AP comparison here rather than being given an estimated one — the number that would decide its value is the one nobody has published. Corroborated: two launch-week outlets publish this figure independently. Neither is EA and nobody here has reproduced it, so it is retail-reported rather than tested.[3]

Updated 2026-08-26. The review that priced the other three names the Repeater as the fourth ranged type and gives no cost for it, so this record gains a corroborated identity and no number. Leaving `apCost` unset is the point: the comparator renders an unknown here, and inferring "probably two, like the Longarm" from its sustained-fire role would put a figure on the page that nobody has published.

What people call them, and what the game calls them

Much of the weapon vocabulary circulating for this game is borrowed from other tactics games rather than taken from Zero Company. If you searched for one of these words, this is what it maps to.

Term you may have seen	Official type	What it means
Sniper rifle	Longarm	The long-range type is called the Longarm. Sharpshooter is the Specialization that suits it — the class and the weapon are separate choices, and neither is named 'sniper' by any source.[1]
Assault rifle, carbine, blaster rifle	Rifle	All the same type. EA call it the Rifle, with no sub-categories named.[1]
Machine gun, LMG, minigun, repeating blaster	Repeater	The sustained-fire type is the Repeater. It is the only official word for it.[1]
Sidearm, blaster pistol, hold-out blaster	Pistol	All the Pistol. Whether any Operator dual-wields two of them is not stated by any source, despite the Gunslinger's multi-attack identity making it a reasonable guess.[1]
Shotgun	No such type	No close-range burst type has been named. Pistol and Repeater both cover close range and neither is described as a shotgun. This is an absence of evidence rather than EA ruling one out.[1]
Heavy weapon	No such type	Heavy is a Specialization, not a weapon type. A Heavy carries one of the same four types as everybody else — most plausibly a Repeater, which is a build recommendation and not a rule.[2]
Ion blaster, ion weapon	No such type	Ion damage is confirmed as the counter to Separatist droids, but nothing states how you equip it. It could be a weapon, a Weapon Mod or a Utility, and the anti-droid build says so on the page rather than guessing.[2]
Lightsaber	No such type	Tel-Rea Vokoss fights with one, and previewers describe her lightsaber attacks and a later throw. No source says whether it fills the weapon slot, so it is recorded on her Operator page and deliberately not entered as a fifth weapon type.[2]

Upgrades that apply to the whole roster

Three upgrades are bought once and held by every Operator. They are the only part of the equipment system with no decision in it — a Weapon Mod means giving up the three other lines competing for its slot, and these give up nothing. All three come from a single community source, so each is labelled as such.

Grenade Throw Distance

Community

+2.0m

Increases grenade throw distance for the whole roster.

Range on a thrown weapon is range on a turn, because a grenade that will not reach costs a move as well as an action. Two metres is the difference between throwing from cover and stepping out of it, which makes this worth the most to the squad carrying the most explosives — a Cly Kullervo or an astromech with three Utility slots and a Concussion Grenade in each. It is worth nothing to a Sharpshooter on a roof, and it is bought for the roster rather than for them, so there is no trade to weigh: it is a floor the whole squad stands on once somebody has paid for it.

What the base throw distance is, which is what decides whether +2.0m is a large increase or a rounding error. This is the only distance figure published anywhere in this database, and it has nothing to be read against.
Whether it also extends a thrown Utility that is not a grenade — the Firebomb, the Gas Dispenser, the Prototype Imploder.
Where it is bought and what it costs.
Whether it has ranks above the first.

Teamwork Assist Damage I

Community

+2 Assist Damage

Increases Assist Damage by +2 for the whole roster.

Worth nothing to a squad that does not assist and a great deal to one built on it, which is the same sentence this database writes about the Tracking mod line — and that is the point. Assist Damage now has four published sources: this, the Scope slot's Tracking line, Hawks' Fearless Leader, and the Scoundrel's Easy Mark feeding Never Play Fair. This one is the only one that costs no slot and no Focus Point, so it is the cheapest of the four and the one a squad has whether or not it planned for it. What it is worth alongside the others is the open question, not what it is worth alone.

Whether it stacks with the other three published sources of Assist Damage — the Tracking mod line, Fearless Leader, and the Scoundrel's assist abilities. Four sources of one statistic and no stacking rule for any of them.
What Assist Damage is added to, and whether an assist can critical.
Whether an assist has to be triggered by a marked target or fires on any ally's attack.
Where it is bought and what it costs.

Teamwork Assist Damage II

Community

+2 Assist Damage, additional

Increases Assist Damage by a further +2 for the whole roster, on top of the first rank.

The word doing the work is "additional", and it is the catalogue's own: this adds to the first rank rather than replacing it, so a roster with both carries +4 Assist Damage before any mod, Talent or ability is counted. Against a squad whose assists fire two or three times a turn that is a real number, and against a squad that never assists it is still nothing — the upgrade does not make a plan, it multiplies one.

Whether the first rank is a prerequisite. "Additional" implies a sequence and the numerals imply one, and the catalogue offers the two as separate entries — so the Squad Builder lets either be set alone rather than enforcing an order nobody has stated.
Whether there is a third rank.
The same stacking question as the first rank, against the three other published sources of Assist Damage.
Where it is bought and what it costs.

What is confirmed about weapons

There are four Weapon types and only four: Longarm, Repeater, Rifle and Pistol.[1]
Every Operator starts with a default weapon, and that weapon can be changed in the Armory at the Den.[1]
Weapon type is not tied to Specialization — any class can carry any of the four, and the retail build behaves that way.[3]
No species or faction has a weapon-proficiency advantage, so weapon choice is never a species decision.[1]
All four weapon types have a Critical Chance of 5%, unmodified, as EA publishes them. They are differentiated by what a critical is worth rather than by how often one happens — +12 on a Longarm Blaster against +4 on a Blaster Pistol.[1]
Each weapon has a set number of Modification Slots, and that number can be increased over the campaign.[1]
Weapon Mods and Utilities exist at several grades, and a grade is a separate item rather than a rank of one. The Armory shows an Ion Modulator at Basic rarity and a Grade II Ion Modulator at Superior side by side in the same inventory, with different effects and different values. Weapon Mods number their grades "Grade II"; Utilities use "Mk. II" and "Mk. IV" for the same idea.[2]
All Operators gain +1 Weapon Mod Slot as a Zone Influence reward, at Zone Forn's third tier. Mod slots are therefore a campaign upgrade bought with Influence rather than a fixed number.[1]
There are four Weapon Mod categories — Barrel, Cell, Scope and Stabilizer — and one mod from each can be equipped at the same time.[2]
A weapon starts with one Modification Slot and reaches four: one from the Den's Additional Weapon Mod Slot node, one from the Zone Forn Tier 3 reward, and one from the Underworld Intel Operation — where it is mutually exclusive with the extra Utility slot.[2]
Mods are acquired mainly from the Black Market, and also from Operations, Missions, Zone rewards and Den facility upgrades.[2]
Weapon Mods alter a weapon's stats and can apply distinct effects of their own.[1]
Mods are swapped freely between missions rather than consumed on fitting, and a fitted mod is visible on the weapon model.[2]
At least one mod applies Burning on hit, and Burning stacks — so a mod can be the source of a status effect, not just a stat change.[2]
At least four Weapon Mods can be equipped to a single weapon at once — a pre-release trophy requires it. Whether four is the cap is not stated.[2]
Weapon Mods are bought from the Black Market with Credits, and are also rewarded by Operations and Tactical Missions.[1]
A previewer respecced an Operator into Gunslinger specifically to exploit a mod that applied an accumulating Burn on every attack — so mod choice can be worth changing a Specialization for.[1]
Attack AP cost varies by weapon, and some attacks consume all remaining AP.[1]
All four attack costs are reported from the retail build: a Pistol always costs 1 AP, a Longarm always costs 2, a Rifle costs 1 for the first shot and 2 for the second, and a Repeater shot consumes every remaining Action Point.[2]
Base damage and critical damage: Longarm 12 (+12), Rifle 10 (+6), Repeater 8 (+4), Pistol 6 (+4). The Longarm is the only type whose critical bonus equals its base damage.[1]
A Repeater's damage rises significantly when the shot is fired with 2 or 3 Action Points rather than 1. The scaling is reported and no figures are published, so its 8 is a floor rather than an output.[1]
No accuracy figure, range distance or critical rate has been published for any weapon type. Range is reported only as a band — short, medium or long.[2]
Weapon Mods and Utilities are shifted between Operators in the pre-mission preparation screen, so one good mod equips whoever is being fielded rather than being tied to whoever earned it.[2]
The three-AP limit caps how many Action Points an Operator can hold at once, not how many they may spend in a turn. Assists and ability grants push a single Operator well past three points of actions.[2]
Ion damage is specifically recommended against Separatist droids.[2]
Weapon models, colours and blaster patterns are cosmetic.[1]

Open questions

Points the shipped game has not yet answered for us, or that need a controlled comparison to state as fact — recorded rather than guessed at.

Damage, range bands, accuracy curves and critical rates. The Pistol is reported as the lowest-damage type and no figure is attached to that, or to any other type.
Which Abilities consume all remaining AP. Three of the four weapons now have a published cost for an ordinary attack; a weapon's *Abilities* are a separate question, and Trick's Fire Repeating Blaster is a confirmed all-AP example.
How many mod slots each weapon has, and how slot counts increase.
Which weapon models exist and whether any differ mechanically.
The in-game names of individual weapons. EA name the four types, not the guns inside them.
Whether Tel-Rea Vokoss's lightsaber occupies the weapon slot at all, or is modelled as a separate system outside these four types.
Whether Ion is a weapon *type*. It is now evidenced as both a Utility — the Ion Blaster — and a Weapon Mod — the Ion Modulator — from two different launch-week guides. Whether a fifth weapon type also carries the name is unaddressed, and no source has ever suggested one.
What a Repeater shot actually does at 2 AP and at 3 AP. The bonus is reported as significant and given no figure, which makes it the single most valuable unpublished number in the weapon database: it decides whether an all-AP attack is a finisher or a waste of a turn.
Whether the Repeater's all-AP rule is the same mechanic as the Final Action the site records on Trick's Fire Repeating Blaster, or a separate one that resembles it.

The tree is three bands — TALENT, SPEC 1, SPEC 2 — with one ability row in the Talent band and three in each Specialization band, columns numbered 2 to 6, a Focus Point cost printed beside every unbought node, and rows of visibly different lengths (four, five and six nodes all appear on one screen). Hawks: "TALENT: FEARLESS LEADER" padlocked, "SPEC 1: GUNSLINGER", "SPEC 2: MEDIC", "1 FOCUS POINT REMAINING". Cly Kullervo: "TALENT: COMBAT JUMP" padlocked, "SPEC 1: WARRIOR" padlocked, "SPEC 2: ASSAULT" not padlocked, "2 FOCUS POINTS REMAINING". Tel-Rea Vokoss: "TALENT: STRONG WITH THE FORCE", "SPEC 1: PADAWAN", "SPEC 2: SEEKER", all three padlocked. Ability tooltips print cost, kind and rank together: "ADV 2 | COMBAT JUMP | SPECIAL ACTION"; "AP 1 | 8 BASE DMG | QUICK DRAW | FAST ACTION" with "RANGED. Fire a lightning fast sidearm pistol shot", "This skill applies a Chance-To-Hit Range Penalty of 25%", "Defeating an enemy restores 1 AP", "This ability does not trigger enemy Overwatch or Retaliation", "This Sidearm Attack does not receive benefits from Weapon Mods"; and the same ability at maximum, "AP 1 | 14 BASE DMG | QUICK DRAW VI", whose first clause becomes "Chance-To-Hit Range Penalty no longer applies". "FEARLESS LEADER II | PASSIVE" — "…eases Assist Damage by +1 for all Operators", opening clause obscured by the presenter's camera. "PADAWAN TRAINING V | PASSIVE" — "Allows Tel-Rea to equip a third Meditation. Meditations are managed in the Armory." An unaffordable node shows "CAN'T AFFORD — Gain additional Focus Points by growing bonds or completing missions"; a bought rank offers "REFUND". CHANGE SPECIALIZATION screen: "SPECIALIZATION ABILITIES" lists four per class with their kind — Gunslinger's are "OPEN FIRE | ULTIMATE | Fire 2 Times at any combination of enemies", "QUICK DRAW | STANDARD | Fire a lightning fast sidearm pistol shot", "KEEN EYE | PASSIVE | Increases this Operator's Critical Chance for all Ranged Attacks by +6%", "ONSLAUGHT | PASSIVE | Each attack within a single turn grants this Operator +1 Blaster Damage. This bonus applies only to attacks with this Operator's primary blaster" — with the class blurb "The Gunslinger specializes in multi-target blaster attacks and fast strikes that allow them to spread offense across numerous targets." The same screen offers eight Specialization cards under each of SPEC 1 and SPEC 2, the card taken by one row padlocked in the other, and states "This talent cannot be changed for this operator" over Hawks' Talent. ARMORY → WEAPON: tabs WEAPON, UTILITIES, BLACK MARKET; four equipped slots of which two are filled (a primary and a sidearm) and two padlocked; weapons named as a class plus a model with five statistics — Blaster Rifle DC-15A "WEAPON DAMAGE 14, CRITICAL HIT DAMAGE +9, CRITICAL CHANCE 17%, RANGE Medium, MELEE DAMAGE 10", Blaster Rifle WESTAR-M5 "12, +11, 20%, Medium, 10", Blaster Pistol G40-5 "9, +10, 17%, Short, 10"; and an inventory grouped into BARREL, CELL, SCOPE and STABILIZER. Mods carry a rarity word and a credit value — "ION MODULATOR | WEAPON MOD | BASIC — Increases Blaster Damage against Droids by +1 and against Ray Shields by +16", VALUE 200, shown under CELL; "DUAL COIL CONDENSER | WEAPON MOD | SUPERIOR — Increases Critical Hit Damage by +3 when firing this blaster", VALUE 350; "GRADE II ION MODULATOR | WEAPON MOD | SUPERIOR", against Ray Shields by +24, its Droid figure and its value partly obscured. In-game glossary panels define BLASTER ATTACK ("all attacks that use the Operator's primary blaster… Attacks that use a secondary blaster are considered Sidearm Attacks"), DROID ("weak against Ion effects and cannot be Healed"), CRITICAL HIT ("A hit that strikes a weak point, doing additional Damage on top of the equipped weapon's Base Damage") and PASSIVE ("benefits that are always active… never require AP").

Star Wars Zero Company: Complete Guide To Weapon Mods
TheGamer · Tier 3 — Retail review · accessed 29 August 2026
Supports: "four weapon mod categories" — Barrel, Cell, Scope and Stabilizer — with one mod from each equippable simultaneously. Weapons start with one Modification Slot and reach four, through the Den's "Additional Weapon Mod Slot node" (costing thousands of Credits), the Zone Forn Tier 3 Reward, and the Underworld Intel Choice Operation's Modification Attachment option — the last being mutually exclusive with the Utility Slot choice. Acquisition: "Your main avenue for amassing more weapon mods will be purchasing them from the black market", alongside Operations, Missions, Zone Rewards and Den facility upgrades. One mod is named in passing and not described: "Type-K Ergonomic Stabilizer". Bylined Collin MacGregor, published 2026-08-27
All Star Wars Zero Company Weapons, Mods, & Upgrades
Hack the Minotaur · Tier 3 — Retail review · accessed 1 September 2026
Supports: The same four Modification Slot categories as retail-thegamer-mods, independently: Barrel, Cell, Scope and Stabilizer. "Individual weapons start with a set number of these slots, and slot counts can be increased through upgrades over the course of the campaign, reaching at least four slots on a single weapon." One mod named with a full effect: Hypercharge Capacitor, Superior rarity, which "increases damage by 5 on the first attack of each combat", recommended on a Longarm. No slot category is given for it. Bylined Hack The Minotaur, updated 2026-08-26. Re-read 2026-09-01, when the page header gave "Latest Update: August 31, 2026" and carried something it did not on 2026-08-29: **fifteen named mods filed under the four categories**, which is the first published mapping of individual mods to slots rather than a list of the slots. BARREL — Dual Amplifier "Increases Blaster Damage when firing this blaster at Close Range"; Rapid Cycler "Provides a chance to restore an AP after attacking with this blaster"; Single Coil Condenser "Increases Critical Hit Damage when firing this blaster"; Phase Adjuster "Reduces an enemy's Defense when this blaster hits"; Spiral Condenser "Increases Critical Hit Damage when firing this blaster". CELL — Incendiary Modulator "Inflicts stacks of Burning when this blaster hits"; Ion Modulator "Increases Blaster Damage against Droids and against Ray Shields". SCOPE — Targeting Scope "Reduces the Chance-To-Hit penalty provided by an enemy's Cover"; Tracking Scope "Increases this Operator's Assist Damage"; Range Scope "Reduces Chance-To-Hit penalties from Range"; **Horizon Scope "Reduces Chance-To-Hit penalties from Range"**; Sniper's Scope "Increases Critical Chance by +9%"; Assassin's Scope "Increases Critical Chance by +12%". STABILIZER — Custom Ergonomic "Increases Blaster Damage after attacking with this blaster"; Superlight Stabilizer "Provides a chance to gain Evasion when firing this blaster"; Balancing Stabilizer "Increases Defense after attacking with this blaster". No rarity is given for any of the fifteen and no numeric value except the two Critical Chance figures. Three named Utilities on the same page: Ion Blaster "Fire an ion blaster at the target that severely weakens Ray Shields"; Scatter Gun "Fire a short range, wide-angled blast that damages everything in the target area"; Flamethrower "Sprays a stream of flame over the targeted area. Deals Fire Damage and inflicts Stacks of Burning". **Absent from the page and checked for**: "Advanced Range Scope", "Thermal Imploder", and any mention of a Capacitor as a resource.

Star Wars Zero Company: A New Hope for Turn-Based Tactics
Xbox Wire · Tier 3 — Hands-on preview · accessed 19 August 2026
Supports: Difficulty — the writer played on Hard, "third highest out of four difficulties", and "the cutely named Beskar mode is this game's equivalent for XCOM's Ironman, with no reloading previous saves". That line was the basis of this site's difficulty record from 2026-08-19 and was missing from this locator until 2026-08-27; a cited claim whose location is not recorded is a claim nobody can re-check. Combat and squad sections — Advantage accumulating when a squad member successfully deals damage, and capping at 10; respeccing Hawks from Scoundrel into Gunslinger to exploit a Weapon Mod that applied an accumulating Burn status on every attack; unique-specialisation recruits being unable to respec the same way; an astromech with no basic attack, carrying three different Utility items with two uses each; a Concussion Grenade knocking enemies clean out of the combat space. 15-hour preview build.

Star Wars Zero Company Tips for Tactics Padawans

Supports: "Fit Check" — "utility items like grenades and health packs are refreshed at the start of every battle (even when you have multiple battles in sequence as part of a larger story mission)", and "you'll likely be shifting your best equipment around between different operators as you field different teams".
