Get ready for an exciting month in Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) with two major in-game events arriving in February 2025! Whether you want to race through the galaxy in the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally or fight off a deadly Rakghoul outbreak on Alderaan, there’s plenty to keep you engaged. From exclusive mounts to armor sets and mini-pets, these events are packed with thrills and rewards.
Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about this month’s adventures.
All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally
- Event Dates: February 4 – February 10 (12:00 PM GMT)
- Level Requirement: 20+
The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally is roaring back into the galaxy! Held across Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon, this high-octane event is a celebration of all things fast and explosive. Swoop racing gangs—including Horizon’s Razor, The Pit Screamers, and The Blatant Beks—are ready to show off their piloting skills and put on a wild spectacle for swoop racing enthusiasts.
Expect dangerous challenge courses, heart-pounding stunts, and the thunderous roar of modified swoop bikes as racers compete for glory.
What Is the Swoop Rally?
Swoop racing is all about high-speed action, sweet air time, and, of course, plenty of flashy explosions. Participants navigate hazardous courses filled with obstacles, jumps, and traps, all while racing to the finish line.
Unlike other swoop gangs known for their criminal behavior, these racers are here purely for sport (and maybe a few crashes to keep things interesting). It’s a crowd-pleasing event that offers adrenaline-pumping excitement and a host of unique rewards.
Featured Rewards
Participating in the rally can net you some incredible items. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- Swoop Rally Mounts (regular and gold versions)
- Swoop Gang-Themed Outfits
- Promotion Droid Mini-Pets
- Stronghold Decorations
…and much more! Whether you’re a racer or just a spectator, you won’t want to miss the chance to collect these exclusive goodies.
Rakghoul Resurgence on Alderaan
- Event Dates: February 18 – February 24 (12:00 PM GMT)
- Level Requirement: 25+
Things are about to get terrifying on Alderaan. The Rakghoul Resurgence event brings the dreaded Rakghoul plague back to the galaxy, with an outbreak threatening the peace of one of the Republic’s most noble planets. The Hyland Organization for Rakghoul Neutralization (T.H.O.R.N.) has issued a level-2 emergency alert, calling on brave volunteers to help contain the infection.
This is your chance to battle the plague, earn rewards, and maybe even survive long enough to tell the tale.
What Is Rakghoul Resurgence?
Rakghouls are vicious, infected creatures that spread their deadly plague wherever they go. T.H.O.R.N. has quarantined the affected areas, but they need capable adventurers to help eliminate the threat. Players can take on missions in contaminated zones, collect samples, and fight powerful plague-infected enemies.
If you’re worried about catching the plague yourself, don’t panic—vaccines and medical supplies are readily available from trusted supply droids. Just don’t ignore the early warning symptoms, or you might find yourself turning into one of the infected.
Featured Rewards
Volunteering to fight the Rakghoul plague comes with its own set of rewards, including:
- Reputation with T.H.O.R.N.
- Armor Sets:
- Merciless Seeker’s Armor Set
- THORN Epicenter and Dark Vector Armor Sets
- Outbreak Response Weapons
- Alliance Contact – Doctor Lokin
- Infected Mounts:
- Infected Varactyl
- Infected Dewback
- Ferocious Rakghoul Mini-Pets
These rewards make it worth braving Alderaan’s plague-infested regions, even if it means dodging monstrous Rakghouls along the way.
Tips for Maximizing These Events
Both the Swoop Rally and Rakghoul Resurgence events offer unique challenges and opportunities. Here are some tips to help you make the most of them:
1. Plan Ahead
Check the event dates and set aside time to participate. These events are time-limited, so don’t wait until the last minute to dive in.
2. Complete Daily and Weekly Quests
Both events feature quests that can be completed daily or weekly. Prioritize these for maximum rewards and progression.
3. Group Up
Events like Rakghoul Resurgence can be tough to tackle solo, especially in contaminated zones with elite enemies. Find a group to make things easier and more enjoyable.
4. Focus on Rewards You Want
Take a look at the available rewards and decide which ones you’re most interested in. Prioritize event activities that will help you earn those items faster.
Why These Events Matter
Seasonal events like the Swoop Rally and Rakghoul Resurgence are key to keeping SWTOR’s galaxy vibrant and engaging. They provide a break from regular questing, offer exciting new challenges, and let players immerse themselves in the ongoing stories and conflicts of the Star Wars universe.
Plus, who doesn’t love the chance to ride a gold-plated swoop bike or adopt a ferocious little Rakghoul mini-pet?
Conclusion
February 2025 is shaping up to be an action-packed month for SWTOR players. Whether you’re racing through dangerous swoop courses or fighting off plague-ridden monstrosities on Alderaan, there’s no shortage of adventure to be had.
Don’t miss your chance to earn exclusive rewards and make your mark on the galaxy. Suit up, grab your swoop bike (or plague vaccine), and get ready for an unforgettable month in The Old Republic.
