April in Star Wars: The Old Republic is shaping up to be less about flowers and more about flamethrowers, swoop bike stunts, and biological hazards. If your idea of spring cleaning involves rocket launchers, questionable vaccines, and chasing criminals across the galaxy, you’re in luck. Here’s a breakdown of all the in-game chaos you can expect this month—and what shiny loot you can snag while you’re at it.
🔫 Bounty Contract Week (April 1–7)
Level Requirement: 15+
Location: Multiple planets. Bring fuel and maybe snacks.
Event Time: Begins and ends at 12:00PM GMT
Kicking things off on April 1—but this is no prank—the Bounty Brokers Association is opening its metaphorical doors to anyone willing to blast, arrest, or otherwise “neutralize” some of the galaxy’s most unpleasant inhabitants. It’s like a job fair, if the jobs involved thermal detonators and chasing down gangsters on desert planets.
Each day, you get access to:
- 1 Henchman Contract: Standard thugs, but they still shoot back.
- 1 Kingpin Contract: The real deal, but only unlocked after completing five standard missions.
Whether you’re a hardened hunter or just looking to break up your usual questing routine with some headhunts, this event is a solid way to stack credits, reputation, and of course—gear.
Top Rewards Include:
- Bounty Brokers Association Reputation
- Bounty Tracker’s & Contract Hunter’s Armor Sets
- Assassin’s Bowcaster & Elite Tracker’s Bowcaster
- Mounts like the BH-7X Custom Hunter
- Mini-pets including Lobelot and Swamp Kell Drake
- A drink-serving probe droid (because bounty hunting is thirsty work)
🏍️ The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally (April 15–21)
Level Requirement: 20+
Event Time: Begins and ends at 12:00PM GMT
Grab your helmet, because this one’s all about style, speed, and a total disregard for traffic regulations. The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally is roaring back into the spotlight, with events taking place across Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon.
If your heart races at the sound of swoop bike engines or you’ve always dreamed of joining a gang with a name like “The Pit Screamers,” then this is your moment. The event brings together three of the galaxy’s most notorious (but not particularly dangerous) swoop gangs:
- Horizon’s Razor
- The Pit Screamers
- The Blatant Beks
Expect plenty of daredevil jumps, near-misses, and probably a few course-related explosions. Just another day in the Outer Rim.
Featured Loot Worth Bragging About:
- Gold and Standard Swoop Rally Mounts
- Full Swoop Gang Outfits (look fast, feel faster)
- Promotion Droid Mini-pets (for moral support)
- Stronghold Decorations to bring that rally energy home
The only thing missing is a trophy—but let’s be honest, you’re doing it for the thrills and the transmog.
🧟 Rakghoul Resurgence on Corellia (April 29–May 5)
Level Requirement: 25+
Event Time: Begins and ends at 12:00PM GMT
Ah yes, springtime on Corellia. The birds are singing, the rakghouls are snarling, and the T.H.O.R.N. organization has declared yet another biohazard emergency. You know the drill: plague outbreaks, quarantines, and heroic volunteers with itchy blaster fingers.
This event is perfect for players who enjoy the warm glow of hazmat suits and the subtle panic of rapidly spreading infections. Head to the News Terminals on your faction’s fleet for mission info and get ready to bring order (and vaccinations) to the chaos.
Must-Have Rewards Include:
- Reputation with T.H.O.R.N.
- Merciless Seeker’s Armor Set (very on-theme)
- THORN Epicenter & Dark Vector Armor Sets
- Outbreak Response Weapons (because disinfectant just isn’t enough)
- Infected Varactyl and Dewback Mounts (caution: do not pet)
- Ferocious Rakghoul Mini-pets
- And yes… Doctor Lokin is back for Alliance recruitment
Whether you’re in it for the loot or just miss the grim aesthetic of viral apocalypse zones, the Rakghoul event always delivers a delightfully grotesque good time.
🎯 Final Thoughts
April in SWTOR isn’t pulling any punches. From bounty hunting and high-speed swoop action to full-on plague containment, there’s something for every type of galactic troublemaker.

Plan your play sessions, dust off those rarely-used mounts, and maybe keep a few extra medpacs handy—you’re going to need them.
