New Rewards

While competing during the Ranked Season, players earned tokens that can be traded for rewards. Tokens are not season specific, so if there’s an expensive reward you really have your eye on, you can save up across multiple seasons.

This Season’s reward includes the Unrivaled Guardsman Weapon Set. This new Weapon Set from Season 14 will be offered at a discounted price of 50,000 Tokens until the end of the next Ranked Season.



Similar to last season, the Replica rewards from past Ranked Seasons will be available to purchase from the PvP vendor. These items look and function the same as the originals, but are branded “Replica” to maintain the prestige of the original Season rewards. Don’t wait too long as these rewards will no longer be available for purchase when the next PvP Season starts.

What’s Next

For those who are already looking ahead to the next season, we have big changes for PvP coming next year in Game Update 7.2. Stay tuned for more details!

That’s it for the Ranked Season 14 recap! We’ve broken down ratings and revealed the upcoming rewards. There’s a few weeks left of the current season, so get in those final games while you can!

Our Legacy of the Sith Story Livestream was jam-packed with information! If you were unable to watch--or if you want a recap of everything we showed--we have you covered! Read on for a breakdown of what we showed, including links to everything so you can watch what you missed.

The Livestream, hosted by Community Manager Jackie Ko and Creative Director Charles Boyd, started with more insight into the new expansion’s story, including a presentation of the new locations you will explore. From the underwater facilities of Manaan to the ruined Sith fortress on Elom to the R-4 Anomaly (coming early 2022). We also learned more about returning characters and some new ones who will team up with you in your fight.

In our upcoming expansion, Legacy of the Sith (7.0), we are changing how players gear their characters and how they grow in power over time. You can check out all of the details about these changes in our Legendary Items and Itemization in 7.0 blogs.

The greatest challenges we offer in STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ are large group encounters called Operations. As we announced back in July, the next Operation coming to SWTOR is the R-4 Anomaly, where an obscure Sith cult harvests technology from an ancient weapon of terrifying power.

Ultimately, our goal is to ensure players have the best end-game experience possible. To help us achieve that goal, we‘re planning two changes for the R-4 Anomaly Operation.

First, the R-4 Anomaly Operation will only be available in the 8-player mode. The vast majority of our Operations are run in 8-player groups, so we are focusing on enhancing and carefully tuning 8-player mode for the R-4 Anomaly and all future Operations. Existing Operations will still be available in both 8 and 16-player modes.

Second, we’re staggering the release of the Operation and the release of the expansion. As noted in the linked articles above, there are a number of gearing changes coming in 7.0, and we want to make sure players have ample time to gear up their characters, settle into Combat Styles, and get their groups ready for the next great threat to the Galaxy. But players won’t have to wait long for the Operation; with Legacy of the Sith coming Holiday 2021, we’re targeting January 2022 to release the R-4 Anomaly Operation.

This staggered release also allows us to quickly put our “players should continuously grow in power” gearing philosophy into practice. Players can expect new gear to acquire when the Story and Veteran modes for the R-4 Anomaly Operation become available!

Our goal is to get the R-4 Anomaly Operation on PTS shortly after the 7.0 PTS wraps! We can’t wait for players to take down this new threat to the galaxy. Stay tuned to SWTOR.com for more updates!
