Weapon-Packed Astromech Build Concept
Developers highlight astromechs using firebombs, thermal detonators and droid poppers.
Problem
The example confirms an aggressive utility-droid concept without publishing a final item list or best build.
Confirmed response

Four checks before committing
| Objective | Does the action advance the mission rather than only add damage? |
|---|---|
| Order | Will another Operator improve the setup first? |
| Safety | Where will the acting unit finish? |
| Resource | Are AP, Advantage or consumables better reserved? |
Data still needed
The published example does not provide every cost, range, immunity or difficulty modifier. The launch guide will add only values reproduced in the shipping build and will keep platform or patch differences dated.
Source and evidence boundary
The direct answer on this page is grounded in a first-party publication. It does not convert unreleased values, inferred story beats or marketing footage into confirmed gameplay data. Any development-stage value will be checked again against the launch build.
