Utilities & Items

Overview

Utilities are equippable items that grant either a passive or an active ability in combat. They are the squad’s answer to a turn where a standard attack is not the best option: most cost 1 AP, which is less than the majority of weapon attacks.

They are also the one resource that is not worth conserving.

Utilities Refresh Every Battle

Utility items refresh at the start of every battle, including consecutive battles inside a single story mission. They are not a stock carried across a campaign.

The consequence is worth stating plainly: an item carried and never used is an item wasted. A loadout that consistently comes home unspent is a sign to swap it for something that will be spent, not evidence of good discipline.

Carrying Capacity

How many Utilities an Operator can carry is set by their Specialization, and the allowance can be raised several ways:

Because Astromechs cannot equip a weapon or weapon mods, utilities are what they fight with entirely, which is why the Extended Storage ranks matter more on them than the raw numbers suggest.

Every Utility Item

Forty-five utilities are sold in the Armory. Prices are the Black Market’s asking price; several carry their own upgrade tiers, shown where they apply.

Grenades explode at the target location and damage every unit inside the blast radius, so they are the reliable answer to a cluster. The Soldier’s Strength passive increases both melee damage and grenade throw distance.

Three groups are worth reading as sets rather than as individual entries. The Bacta Stim line (Bacta Stim, Double-dose, Deluxe, Hyper) all fully heal, and differ in price and in what else they add. The RSKF-44 pistol runs Worn, Remachined, Restored, and Custom, an armour-piercing shot carried as a utility rather than a weapon. The Rangefinder line applies Spotted, and on the Hunter’s Rangefinder the effect never expires.

Tel-Rea’s Utilities

Thirteen utilities exist only for Tel-Rea Vokoss, nine of them naming her directly in their effect text: Attuned to All Things, Bonded to the Blade, Control Pain, Droid Dismantler, Fast Healing, Fortified Will, Listen Through Chaos, Presence in the Force, Serenity, Surging Harmony, Tranquility, Visions of the Future, and Visions of the Past. All are Exotic and all cost 1,500 Credits, which makes them the cheapest Exotic items in the game. The four Exotic utilities anyone can use are far dearer: Hyper-Bacta Stim at 2,300, and the Custom RSKF-44, Experimental Repulsor Units, and Prototype Imploder at 5,000 each.

They are how the Jedi Padawan is tuned. Most work on Harmony, the resource behind her exotic class, either generating extra stacks or converting them into Deflection.

Where Utilities Come From

Because the Black Market refreshes on the Cycle clock, it is worth a look each time the campaign advances rather than only when something is needed.

Utilities Are Not Weapon Mods

The two are bought in the same place and easily confused:

• Utilities are consumable equipment carried into a battle and refreshed after it
• Weapon Modifications are permanent fittings that change a weapon’s stats, slotted at the Armory, one per category

Trick’s DC-17M Weapon System is the exception that takes neither: it accepts no mods at all.
