SWG Legends Loot Box Update + Screenshot Contest

The galaxy just got a whole lot shinier. SWG Legends recently rolled out a massive overhaul of its loot boxes—introducing and reintroducing over 60 items into the game’s Heroic content rewards. And now, they want you to show off your haul.

In classic SWG Legends fashion, they’re turning this update into a party with the “Show Us Your Loot!” screenshot competition, and yes, there’s real-life loot on the line.

Read the official announcement here.

Over 20,000 Loot Boxes (and Counting)

According to the dev post, players have already cracked open more than 20,000 loot boxes since the update dropped on July 20. That’s a lot of clicking—and even more treasure hunting.

Whether you’re chasing down Epics, hoarding deco, or still looking for that one drop, it’s clear the new loot injection has sparked a resurgence in Heroic content. The community’s feedback after the last stats post was so strong, the devs brought it back again—giving us a snapshot of Heroic content trends from the last two months.

The stats aren’t just a flex—they’re a clear signal that the SWG Legends team is doubling down on giving the playerbase reasons to keep logging in, grinding out content, and (most importantly) bragging about it afterward.

The U.L.T.I.M.A.T.E. S.C.R.E.E.N.I.E. S.H.O.W.D.O.W.N.

The devs didn’t stop at good loot. They’ve wrapped it in a full-on community event that practically dares you to show off.

Introducing:
Unquestionably Legendary Treasure-Induced Mega Awesome Totally Epic Screenshot Contest Resulting in Exceptionally Excellent New In-game Epics: Supreme Heroic Overhaul With Delightful Outrageous Winning Nerd-loot

Or… you know, just The Screenshot Showdown.

Here’s how it works:

How to Enter

Take a screenshot of your newly looted prize from Heroic runs or loot boxes.
Post it on your favorite platform—X (Twitter), Instagram, Reddit, or Bluesky.
Your character name must be visible in the screenshot.
Use the official hashtags:
#SWGLootDrop #SWGLegends #StarWarsGalaxies
Tag the SWG Legends account on your chosen platform.

That gives you up to four chances to win, one per platform.

Deadline & Prize

Entry Deadline: Sunday, August 17 at 11:59 PM UTC
Winner Announcement: Monday, August 18
Grand Prize: A real-life Loot Box shipped to your doorstep (contents unknown, but presumably awesome)

Strategy Tip: Instant Gratification or Batch Opener?

One fun twist in the dev post is the ongoing debate: Do you open loot boxes as you earn them—or save them up for a grand opening session?

There’s no official bonus for either method, but hey, if you’re entering the contest, a batch-opening screenshot might just look more dramatic (and boost your chances of snagging some nerd clout).

Final Thoughts

Between the quality-of-life improvements and fresh loot in the Heroic rotations, the SWG Legends team is making the grind feel rewarding again. More importantly, they’re keeping the community engaged and creative—not just with stats, but with actual incentives.

So get out there, run your dailies, loot like crazy, and flex your haul like it’s the Jedi Academy Prom Night.

And if you’re wondering what the new loot looks like? Time to find out for yourself—or stalk the #SWGLootDrop hashtag for some early peeks.
