help rebuilding HK-47

[HallowWolf]

So, I have the combined restored content with M4-78 mod, and I've already completed all the main quests and most side quests on Telos & Nar Shadaa, & I've escaped Onderon but haven't heard back from Master Kavar yet. I've fought a ton of HK-50 droids and visited all the droid merchants, but I'm still missing a processor for HK-47. All guides that I've looked up seem to indicate that I should have been able to rebuild him by now. They also suggest reloading a save when you first talk to the droid merchants, but at this point that seems out of the question, as that would mean undoing hours of gameplay. Am I screwed now, or will I be able to get a processor at Korriban or somewhere else later?

Strange, all the parts for HK-47 normally drop quite readily. If you are not getting it when you destroy any HK-50's and loot them and it is not in the inventories of any merchants, particularly Kodin on Nar Shadaa or the Sullustan on Dantooine, I wonder if the issue could be that an HK-50 you have already killed somewhere dropped this item but you missed it and that is why it is not showing up? If it was somewhere you can go back to then you could try searching previous locations where you fought HK-50's, but if it was Telos or Onderon you are screwed as you cannot get back to either.

If you don't get this part soon, and get HK-47 rebuilt, you may not have 3 teams of HK-50's you can destroy for HK-47 to locate the droid factory and will not be able to go there as him towards the end of the game. You can still complete the game (including M4-78) but it would be a shame not to get the droid factory.

From memory there are at least 2 teams of HK-50's on Dantooine, 1 when you return to Citadel to see Grenn for the bounty or fuel quest rewards, 1 on Korriban and 1 on M4-78. That I am sure of but there may be one or two more. Still, it is getting close.

One solution is to use the save editor, KSE, to either add the doid processor to your inventory or change the necessary flag(s) so HK-47 is complete. Best to add it to your inventory. I am not sure if there is a code to cheat this item into your inventory so check the cheat guide here on Steam as another way round this.

Forgot to mention that I also already completed Dantooine.

Actually, the last thing I'd done was circle the galaxy to visit all the droid merchants, and my last save happened to have been on Dantooine, so I decided to run back to the Jedi enclave. The only 2 HK-50 encounters that I could remember the exact location clearly were one there and one coming in from the docking bay on Telos. After spending a lot of time zig-zagging around Nar Shadaa to complete the main quests there, I couldn't bear to go back there just to search for abandoned loot. But--miracle of miracles--I found one bit of HK loot that I'd missed next to the enclave that contained the processor!

So far, I've only encountered one more HK-50 group on Korriban, but I'm only partway through M4-78. Though unless there's another HK-50 group on my return trip to Onderon, I might not get HK-47's personal quest. At least I got to hear HK's definition of love. Even that was worth the extra zig-zag around the galaxy map.

Good to hear you got the processor in the end. From memory, there is only one HK-50 group on M4-78 - on your way out of the Environmental Zone - and none on Onderon part 2. The only way to get to the droid factory would be to install KSE and advance the number of HK-50 teams found to 2 and do it now, before you find the last team to take it to 3 and complete the quest. Then when you return to the Hawk you should get the cutscene (well worth watching!) and be able to send HK to the factory later.

generally with the restoration project I get a part on peragus, a part on Telos outside the academy.

a part when I return to telos, and a part entering the dantoine academy. which is all the parts. unless you like scrap one or something.

getting all the parts isnt' the issue the issue is missing HK's dialogs to trigger the quest before you run out of HK-50 drones.

[Djozar]

Did you possibly miss the HK part from the Peragus HK? I don't think it's the processor that early, but that's the first HK piece you can find in the game prior to Telos.

[Hassat Hunter]

Indeed the first 2 parts drop on Peragus and Telos. In vanilla the only processor is on Nar Shaddaa (destroying the HK's as T3), with TSLRCM HK's can drop them too.
The HK's should drop the parts you're missing (so if you missed those 2 you still get them here).

In vanilla vendors drop the first part you DO NOT POSSESS IN YOUR INVENTORY in their inventory. Which means, if you installed them they'll spawn again since they're gone from your inventory. This could also generate the Pacifist Package if you carried all 4 with you, of course not being the intention as that could lead to installing it duplicate times over and over.
With TSLRCM vendors randomly have one of the four parts of HK-47.
