Fringer bounty hunter

I created a new outfit for one of my Powertechs, although I also have an almost identical one for one of my older gunslingers, and I'm leaning towards making this a kind of "fringer uniform" for some of my characters, where many of them would have a similar outfit that they'd use on occasion.


Because I have a lot of junk in my collections, I used a variety of different items, but realistically many of them don't matter too much. You could build this with only three outfits if you didn't care much about what boots, belt or gloves you used. 

Anyway, the specific items I have are:

  • Kingpin's Blaster Pistol (available from the recently concluded Nightlife event) with a green color crystal. I have a variety of greens available from the cartel market, but it'd work just fine with a crafted green crystal too. The gun isn't quite as important to the outfit; I rather think guns match well to class. I generally like bigger, chunkier guns for both bounty hunter classes, but that's especially true for the Powertech who's only got one of them. I (sometimes) prefer the slightly smaller guns for the smuggler classes. The Kingpin gun is actually a little on the small side for what I use for Powertechs. 
  • Expert Outlaw's Visor. I have it color matched here, but I tried it without color matching, and it looks pretty good there too. It'll match the pants, because by default, it's black.
  • Impulsive Adventurer Bracers. I use these a lot, because they're invisible, and don't show.
  • Impulsive Adventurer Chestplate. It's not really a chestplate, obviously. It's a Han Solo looking rolled up sleeves and vest, with a bandolier. It's a great piece, actually, and kind of a unique color. 
  • Secret Agent's Gloves. The Impulsive Adventurer would be fine if you don't want to buy another outfit just for gloves. I do have some more crocodile-leather looking gloves, but I can't remember off-hand which outfit they belong to, and fingerless biker gloves are fingerless biker gloves. You're not going to see that level of detail very well most of the time anyway.
  • Furious Gladiator legs. This is a very important part of the outfit. In a pinch, you could build this with just three outfits; the Furious Gladiator, the Impulsive Adventurer and the Expert Outlaw. Those are the most important components. The gloves, belt and boots you can swap out to whatever you have, and it won't make a huge difference to the overall appearance.
  • RV-06 Speedsuit Belt. I used this because it was handy through collections and looks pretty good; the more I think about it, the more I think that the Czerka Security Armor belt might look even a little bit better, although very similar.
  • Winter Outlaw Boots. I like these a lot for a variety of uses, actually. The Winter Outlaw is a good outfit in general.
