HK-51 Background

"Revelation: We have already begun construction on a new generation of HK units. When the last of our deficiencies are accounted for and corrected, they shall be the most formidable assassination droids in the galaxy."
―An HK-50 assassination droid

HK-51 assassin droids were advanced versions of HK-50 assassin droids. They were acquired by the reconstituted Sith Empire around a decade into the Cold War. An Imperial freighter containing the droids had crashed on Belsavis some time later. Sometime between 3,643 BBY and 3,641 BBY, renegade Sith rediscovered the freighter.

Characteristics

"Schematics for HK generation 51: Blaster to accuracy ratio: increased by 21%. Durasteel impact frame resistance: increased. Conclusion: halting production. Units are in standby mode, pending further testing of behavior cores and assassination protocols."

HK-51 Companion Droid Quest guide

SWTOR HK-51 guide with detailed walkthroughs on obtaining HK-51, the new companion droid introduced to SWTOR in Patch 1.5.

Things to know before starting the quest (i.e. how to prepare)

• You will need an alt of the opposite faction. It doesn’t have to be high level (Level 15 is ok). This is because one of HK 51’s components is obtained from the other faction’s territory but it is bind on legecy (i.e. you can mail it to your main)
• 
  
• The more the merrier. When hunting down HK-51’s components, the more people you have to cover territory, the better. Once a component is unearthed, anyone nearby, regardless of if they are in your party/ops, can loot it. If you scanner detects a component nearby, make sure to call it out so other players can benefit as well!
• 
  
• You will need to run two specific flashpoints as part of the quest.
• 
  
• Only Coruscant and Dromund Kaas compoents are bound to legacy, rest of the components go straight to your mission tab of your inventory and are bound to that character. So yes, you will need a level 50 character to unlock HK-51 but there might be an option in the future to unlock it for other characters in your legacy.
