How to get the Ion Capacity Charge

The Ion Capacity Charge material is available as loot in a treasure chest in the basement of an Imperial guard tower called West Turbolaser, located in the northern part of the Boulder Forrest region on Toshara.

The tower is just north of the Fallen Mound and west of the Imperial Comm Station where The Wreck main quest takes you. The tower is in a heavily fortified and restricted Imperial territory. You should be sneaky and quick. If you get spotted, things may get quite challenging for you.

The walkthrough below is just one possible way to get in and out. You can improvise. If you are fast on the trigger, you can even take them all out. But you must do it before any of them call for support and report you.

Lucily, the tower is not very heavily guarded. Approach it from the south where you can climb a wall and sneak closer.

At the entrance, there are two stationed stormtroopers with one officer walking in circles around. The stationary guards will never turn around unless you make a noise or provoke them. They always look only ahead.

Sneak to the back side of the tower and climb up on the ramp behind the patrolling officer to take her down silently.

Sneak behind one of the guards in the front of the tower or use your blaster in Stun mode to take him out. If you are silent, the secondguard will not notice you. Ssk Nix to attack or distract the other one to clear the entrance.

Slice the door using your Slicing Kit ability. If you ahve the Slicing Kit Upgrade, you can make this even easier. Use your guides linked here to learn how to slice locks easily.

Is the Concussive Smoke ability useful

The Smoke Bomb ability gives you peace of mind for missions where stealth is mandatory. Also, you don’t want to ruin your earned reputation and lose the ability to use your favorite Syndicate outfit by getting caught stealing valuables from a Syndicate you usually work with.

The Concussive Smoke is just a free (after you do the work to find the parts to upgrade it, I mean) added bonus to the bomb. The cooldown is not too short, but not overly long either. It’s ideal for when you screw up or open a door and stumble on an Imperial garrison because you didn’t use Nix Sense first to check the environment.

Concusive Smoke can be used tactically as well, of course, not just as an escape route or a savior. I personally love having it in my arsenal. The ability is easy to use and its effect is more than enough to allow you to get to safety or take down any opponents caught in the smoke.

Upgrade the Smoke Bomb to Ion Smoke Bomb

You can add an additional layer of effect to the Smoke Bomb by unlocking the Ion Smoke Bomb ability from The Scaventer expert. Our guide will show you how to get the Flux Compressor key expert material required for this ability.

Effect of Ion Smoke Bomb: In addition to its base effect, Smoke Bomb now deals ion damage, which temporarily disables devices and disrupts droids in the affected area.

10x Ray Acelerator
