Unlocking Kingpin Bounties

---

To unlock Kingpin Bounties, you must have 5 Completed Bounty Contract obtained from doing Henchman bounties. These contracts are tradeable so you can mail 5 to one character.  You can then purchase the unlock from the vendor near the BBA mission terminals. Kingpin missions are weeklies and only one can be done once per day.

Kingpin bounty unlocks are character specific and does not extend to your entire legacy!

Each Kingpin Bounty also have a level requirement

• Hutta/Ord mantell: Level 15
• Dromund Kaas/Coruscant: Level 15
• Nar Shaddaa: Level 18
• Tatooine: Level 23
• Alderaan: Level 28
• Voss: Level 42

For each Kingpin bounty you unlock on a character, you will also receive a blue rep item as a reward.

Like Henchman bounties, you can only do 1 Kingpin Bounty per day. Once you pick up the Kingpin Bounty for that planet, you cannot do the Henchman bounty for the same planet until you complete & turnin that Kingpin Bounty (or you can just pick another planet to do the Henchman bounty). This was done to prevent you from saving time and picking both Kingpin and Henchman bounty for the same planet at the same time.

He is immune to ballistic damage and controlling effects while he is up in the air. It is best to keep moving during this maneuver to reduce the damage you take. When Arkan jumps down from Jetpacking, he will do a massive knockback so don’t stand next to him.

 

• Cryo Beam: Beam of cryo that will freeze you for a few seconds at the end of the cast.

• Stealth: Periodically during the fight, Arkan will disappear and all the patrons will gather towards the spot where he disappeared. This is a chance for you to recharge and gain some of the resources back. When he reappears, he will spawn clones of himself that should be killed quickly before they do significant damages to you.

• Healing: Usually at the start of the Heat Beam cast, Arkan will gain 10 stacks of Kolto Shell, which heals him if he takes damage. There isn’t much you can do to avoid it and the healing is minimal so you can usually just burn through it.

• 161k HP, summoned by interacting with the Artifact Display Stand on the second floor of the Tower of Prophecy. Can be soloed but might be hard without a healer companion. Eryn will slow you quite a lot, which makes it harder to avoid some of her abilities that are hard hitting.

• Eryn constantly apply a slow debuff to her target, which make avoiding her attacks quite difficult. She also have a debuff that prevent you from using high speed movement abilities (i..e Force Speed). The slow and the debuff tend to come together, making it a deadly combo.
• She also have a Reflect ability, if you see her casting reflect shield or something, stop attacking so you don’t kill yourself!
• Pulse Cannon is her conal attack. It is quite easy to avoid as long you are standing away from her. Doesn’t do a lot of damage so it is a non-issue for most melee players as well.

• At 3 stacks of her Shoulder Cannon buff, she will drop a red circle on your feet, which will cause knockdown and quite a bit of damage if you don’t run out of it.

• Eryn’s signature move is High Powered Laser, which is a telegraphed conal attack that does ridiculously amount of damage and cause a knockdown. It is advised to try move out of it (use stun breakers to break out of the slow) or use defensive cooldowns if you are unable to. The conal is longer than the graphic so you may get hit by it even if you are not inside it.

• At 50%, she will summon 3 droids who will rush to the entrance of the room and fire on you. They have ~8k HP each and don’t move so you can AoE them down while staying as far from Eryn as possible to avoid her High Powered Laser attack.
