The galaxy has been buzzing with excitement since SWTOR Game Update 7.7 dropped. Like a well-placed thermal detonator, this update shook things up with fresh content, quality-of-life improvements, and enough tweaks to keep even the most dedicated bounty hunter busy. If you’ve missed the details or just want a breakdown of what’s new and shiny, you’re in the right place.
New Flashpoint: Echoes of Vengeance
Nothing screams “Star Wars” quite like a new Flashpoint, and Echoes of Vengeance delivers on all fronts. Players are thrust into a chaotic battle with new enemies, challenging bosses, and a storyline that dives deeper into galactic conflicts. If you like your blaster fights with a side of epic lore, this one’s for you.
You’ll be cutting your way through enemy lines, discovering hidden secrets, and probably asking yourself, “Did that just happen?” as you blast your way to victory. The loot? Oh, it’s good. Expect some new gear drops that’ll make you feel like you just walked out of a Mandalorian armory.
Twitch Drops and Celebrations
Missed the live stream? No worries. SWTOR has you covered with a VOD recap, but the real treats come in the form of Twitch Drops. Until May 22nd, watch one hour of live SWTOR content to snag the Dromund Kaas Poster Decoration. Connect your Twitch and SWTOR account to claim this beauty.
When 7.7 officially goes live, you can earn the Umbaran Holo-Rancor Mount with five hours of watch time, available for 28 days after launch. If that’s not incentive enough to binge some Twitch streams, I don’t know what is.
Don’t forget to redeem the code SWTORSWC25 to unlock the Amethyst Vulptilla Minipet. It’s only available until May 30th, so get on it before it’s gone!
PvP Season 8: Champions of the Wild
Game Update 7.7 kicks off the new PvP Season: Champions of the Wild, running for 16 weeks. With it comes a host of rewards like the Bestial Champion’s Armor Set, Way of the Warrior Legacy Title, and the Throne of the Beast Decoration. If you’ve got a thing for smashing opponents while looking like you just walked out of a primal hunt, this is your season.
Mission Log and World Map Overhaul
If you’ve ever felt like your mission log was a bit of a mess, Update 7.7 is here to clean it up. A new Galaxy Map button makes travel easier, and Mission Prioritization is now clearer than ever. Plus, the World Map got a facelift with a three-section accordion menu: Quick Travel, Encounters, and Filters. Basically, you’ll spend less time searching and more time blasting.
New Dynamic Encounters
Update 7.7 expands Dynamic Encounters to planets like Tython, Korriban, Hutta, Ord Mantell, Coruscant, Dromund Kaas, and Ilum. With them come new themed rewards like the Coruscant Fireworks Launcher, Dromund Kaas Broadcast Tower, and the hilariously ominous Hutta Poison Pit Sign.
Quality of Life and Character Modernization
What’s an update without some quality-of-life love? Game Update 7.7 brings improvements to inventory, UI adjustments, and smoother navigation. The World Map is more intuitive, and crafting menus are far less likely to make you rage-quit. Plus, character customization gets a glow-up with new skin colors for Cathar, Chiss, Mirialan, Nautolan, Sith Pureblood, Togruta, and Twi’lek.
Conclusion
SWTOR Game Update 7.7 is packed with new content, events, PvP upgrades, and quality-of-life improvements that make the galaxy feel more alive than ever. Whether you’re raiding Flashpoints, diving into PvP, or just sprucing up your character, there’s something here for everyone. Until the next drop, keep your blasters charged and your Twitch account linked—you never know when the next mount will land in your inventory.
