Hello all,
This report includes the Order of the Fallen Mandalorian Update content drop. Additionally, we have implemented a slotting system for Combat Droids so that weapons can be placed directly onto the droid and not take up your Loadout slots. More on this below.
For this drop, I will NOT be placing the Item Stores into a Maintenance Window. We pre-staged the items and have mass granted them without interrupting the user experience. That's neat!
Other than that, I'd like to thank everyone that applied for Magistrate. It wasn't easy pickings. We ended up going with Kano Tydex and Farrin as our picks. Based on their applications, we can expect they'll get into the nitty gritty of the spreadsheets and projects and really push our progress. I'm looking forward to it.

The front of the rifle is double-pronged, able to act as a melee range taser and deliver a strong shock to targets. For medium to long ranges it features a regular firing blaster mode, and could also be loaded with a single-shot gas cartridge to fire a devastating beam that disintegrates a target on contact. The Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin used one of these rifles.

Some of these weapons were used by Imperial Scout Troopers during the Jedi Purge.

RIA Repulsor Throwing Razor
The RIA Repulsor Throwing Razor is a ranged weapon that consists of a serrated, crescent shaped blade designed to be thrown at a target.

Severe: {{original_item_name}} has upraised mandibles that can deliver a potent venom. Once injected into a victim, Wyyyschokk venom almost instantly immobilizes its target.
For the sake of user experience, we have applied the same slotting concept to Droids that we did for Upgrades. That means, when looking at Combat Droids specifically, you can now slot weapons into them under the same principle as your own Loadout bar. However, not all Droids are made equal so some special cases have been identified that are the exception to the following rule.
Combat Droid Slotting Rule
* Common: No slotting
* Uncommon: 2 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers)
* Rare: 2 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers/Bladed/Blunt)
* Epic: 3 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers/Bladed/Blunt/Explosives)
* Legendary: 4 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers/Bladed/Blunt/Explosives)
This implementation is now in effect.

AWESOME!!!
cool stuff.
I like the change to droid weapons. Actually I am liking what all I am seeing. I hope to see some awesome things from the office of the Regent. (And you all have yet to disappoint)
Ooooo! That is fancy! And pre-vetted too! ^^
Exciting!
Moar content. :D
Yay! Chirodactyls!
Great update you guys!
Nice work guys. And congrats to the new Ms!
Any chance the Beskar armor will make an appearance?
I love all the new content!
The ACC Guide section on Droids has been updated to reflect this new possessions capability.
Droids can use any weapon that is built into the droid itself (as reflected in the droid's item description) or slotted into the droid's weapon item slots. Droids that are capable of wielding weapons can pick up and use appropriate weapons from other characters or the environment in the same manner as a player character but this must be accounted for within the text of the match. In other words, if the droid is using a weapon that is not built-in or slotted you have to depict or tell the audience how the droid got the weapon.
