This file details some considerations to make for a GO-TO build, and may eventually contain a few GO-TO builds from different playthroughs. We'll see how far I take it.
Like most people, I don't use GO-TO much as a companion. He's just not that effective compared to other options. But he comes with an impressive set of ranged combat feats, and his built-in Stealth ability is interesting, giving him a specialized niche as a sneaky, skilled anti-droid operative. Not a companion I'd use for the majority of the game, but something interesting for a change of pace or as a different way to approach specific challenges.
======================
Notes:
- GO-TO comes with some interesting equipment that should be considered in a build:
- Goto Targeting Module: (Improved Power Blast, Improved Rapid Shot, Improved Sniper Shot)
- Droid Repulsor: (Slow, 75%, 10 uses)
- Droid Defense Barrier: (absorbs 60 points energy/sonic/cold/heat/ion, 10 uses)
- Aratech Droid Oxidizer (3-8 ion + 1-10 ion vs droid, attack +1 scope/chamber upgradeable)
This isn't a bad set of starter gear, meaning if you just use him for a small segment somewhere, you don't have to invest a lot into him for him to be useful.
- However, he cannot use the very powerful Droid Self-Sustaining Unit, as that is limited to T3-M4
- Dialog tree
- Obtained on Nar Shaddaa (late in the planet)
- Expert Droid class (like T3)
- Class skills: Awareness, Computer Use, Repair, Security
- Has a built-in stealth generator that does not use an equipment slot. He can therefore use Stealth, even though he doesn't have it as a class skill.
- Can make security tunnelers for you
- Has a very interesting backstory, but you need very high or low influence to hear it all
- Influence gained/lost via dialog and actions when he is in your party (but mostly dialog)
- To open up some influence opportunities, you must do these things on Nar Shaddaa:
- Hack the swoop racing droid (landing pad area)
- Hack the pazaak droid (entertainment area)
- Complete the Bith scientist quest (flophouse/docks area)
- Do NOT talk to Vogga about the fuel until you are done with GO-TO influence
- Influence locations:
- Almost Anywhere
- Ebon Hawk
- Initial conversation, say you'll take his money as a reward
- He gives you a reward and you gain influence with each place you stabilize, but you have to talk to him and take the Dark options to get the reward/influence
- Talk to GO-TO about Vogga, agree not to make the Hutt/Telos fuel deal.
- Dantooine
- Threaten to turn Akkere in over the hydrospanner then kill him. But this is Dark Side and Akkere won't be there if you side with the mercs, which you probably already did if you're Dark Side. So you'll probably never get to gain this influence.
- Duxn
- Blow up trapped Mandalorian
- Onderon
- Sell your starport visa to Sakarie, then say "It's the only way to make a profit"
- Droid merchant: ask about pricing, tell the droid to reset, let GO-TO help
- Use Force Persuade to quell Ponlar's riot (requires that power, obviously), or tell the guard to get backup (does not require Force Persuade)

T3-M4, who is also an Expert Droid, can surprisingly be turned into one of the best tanks in the game. (Don't believe me, check out
the build.) But that depends on having the
Droid Self-Sustaining Unit which, as mentioned above, only T3 can use. The other gear from the T3 build would be useful though.
There are a couple of items that are only useable by GO-TO that, unfortunately, can only be given via cheats (and are therefore unavailable on platforms that don't support cheats):
I NEED TO CHECK OUT AVAILABLE FEATS IN AN ACTUAL PLAYTHROUGH. I'M NOT SURE THE ABOVE IS CORRECT.
HE IS LISTED ON STRATEGYWIKI AS COMING WITH GEAR THAT GRANTS THE IMPROVED RANGED COMBAT FEATS AND ALSO AS HAVING THOSE FEATS. SURELY IT IS NOT BOTH. I SHOULD CHECK WHAT HE ACTUALLY HAS. BECAUSE IF HE GETS IMPROVED VIA GEAR, IT WON'T QUALIFY AS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE MASTER VERSION OF ANY OF IT.
Feats that would be useful to GO-TO, roughly in priority order:
- Class Skill: Stealth
- Improved Two-Weapon Fighting (4) / Master Two-Weapon Fighting (8)
- Master versions of ranged combat feats (maybe improved, if he doesn't actually come with it)
- Toughness / Improved Toughness (4) / Master Toughness (8)
- Weapon Focus: Blaster Pistol
- Dual Strike / Improved Dual Strike (4) / Master Dual Strike (8)
There are certain feats that would be nice to take (ex. Improved Close Combat), but they cannot be taken by an Expert Droid.
