As you travel across the galaxy, you'll come across many items that let you alter BD-1's appearance. Some of them come in full sets and others you have to piece together. There are also different paint jobs you can acquire. With all of it, you can mix and match to make the coolest BD-1 from Koboh to Jedha.

10 Light Metal

BD-1 is painted in Light Metal colors in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Light Metal is a set of materials you can find to change the appearance and color of BD-1 in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. You can find this customization item on Koboh, the hub planet for Cal Kestis in the game.

It is located inside a destroyed building in the Hunter's Quarry portion of the planet. With it obtained, you'll receive Doonium, Brushed Durasteel, Stainless Durasteel, Metal Alloy, and Silver Alloy.

This adds the metal to BD-1 and gives him a bit of shine. It is a unique set of materials that can make your BD-1 stand out from everyone else's.

9 Kaminoan Legs

BD-1 is kitted with the Kaminoan Legs in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Eventually, you'll travel to Jedha in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The planet sacred to the Jedi has many secrets for you to uncover.

One of these is the Kaminoan Legs that you can attach to BD-1. Kamino is the planet where the clones used to fight in the Clone Wars were created.

These are the best legs you'll find for the little droid. It is in a chest right next to the Desert Ridge meditation point, so you shouldn't miss it, so pick any color of your favorite clone battalion and the legs will mimic the attire they wore in battle.

8 Geonosian Audio Sensors

Koboh has quite a few BD-1 customization items for you to find. As you travel through the Untamed Downs region, you'll fight several types of enemies.

Climb into a dark cavern near the center and a raging Mogu will meet you. You don't have to fight him, but be aware that he'll chase you down until one of you is defeated.

Go past the Mogu and take a right at the cliff. Follow the path to the chest with the Geonosian Audio Sensors.

This is one of many Clone Wars callbacks in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. It places an awesome sensor on BD-1's head that resembles the range finders you'd often see on the helmets of Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos.

7 Assembly Head

BD-1 is customized with the Assembly Head in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The Assembly headpiece is a fun way to open up BD-1. There are other Assembly pieces to create a whole set, but the head is the best of the bunch, as it makes BD-1 look incomplete or in repair for the time being, with his circuits and wires showing.

Every Assembly piece is acquired together, so there is no extra hunting you need to do to find the head. When you get off of Coruscant for the first time on the Mantis, you can collect them all, so interact with the parts on the ship's kitchen counter to be able to access them from the workbench.

6 Droid Paint

BD-1 shows off some of the Droid Paint in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Droid Paint is a customization material item, and with it, you can give BD-1 the color of some iconic droids from Star Wars history. The colors that arrive when you find Droid Paint are Droid Blue, Droid Yellow, Droid Pale Blue, Droid Orange, and Droid Red.

This is one of a handful of customization items for BD-1 in Jedi: Survivor that isn't found in a chest. Instead, you can purchase them from Zee's shop once you get her set up in Pyloon's Saloon, and it will cost you two Old Republic Datadiscs that are found across Koboh.

5 Rugged Photoreceptors

Photoreceptors are essentially BD-1's face in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. There are many you can place upon the droid to change its expression and change the layout of its binoculars when Cal is using them, and the best photoreceptor you'll come across is the Rugged one.

Rugged adds a simple, yet sleek gray scale color to the binoculars with a hint of green due to the HUD. If you want it, you'll have to buy the Deluxe Edition of the game and it comes with the Galactic Hero cosmetic pack, which provides items based around Han Solo.

4 Base BD-1

BD-1 has every base part attached in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Everyone loves the original BD-1 look from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. In Jedi: Survivor, you don't have to customize BD-1 at all.

Maybe you just want to change the color, but if you want to leave the droid looking as original as possible, well, that comes at the start.

BD-1 will automatically have the base BD-1 cosmetics. If you change any piece of BD-1, you can always go back and select the BD-1 option for whatever part of the droid you want to revert to factory settings, as the classic look is one of the better ones for him.

3 Anodized Metal

BD-1 is colored with one of the Anodized Metal options in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The brightest material set you can collect for BD-1 is Anodized Metal. It adds the shininess of other metals but gives it immense color comparatively.

You'll find the set on Koboh, inside the Derelict Dam area. Enter the large fire-lit room after defeating your first Commando Droid, wall run, then jump to the platform to find the chest.

It has vibrant blue, green, red, purple, and yellow. Respectively, they are called Duralium, Trimantium, Dolovite, Corundum, and Laminasteel, and you won't find a more eye-catching set of colors to slap onto BD-1.

2 BD-Astro Set

BD-1 is customized in the entire BD-Astro set in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The New Hero cosmetic pack comes with the Deluxe Edition of Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. Several Luke Skywalker-themed items are granted with the purchase, and the BD-1-focused items come in the form of the BD-Astro set.

This gives him a slight resemblance to an astromech droid, such as R2-D2, and the best part is that you can give him the R2-D2 colors, or really any color of your favorite Star Wars astromech, like R5 and Chopper.

1 Solar Set

BD-1 is customized in the entire Solar set in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The Solar set is found all at once on Jedha, but you don't even have to go too far on the planet to find it. Travel through the Archives and take the elevator up, then take the ramp down to the speeder garage and find the chest on the right.

Open it to get every piece of Solar BD-1, which gives BD-1 a visor over his eyes and the Star Wars equivalent of solar battery ports all across his body. It really does look like he's just out to have some fun in the sun, and the full set is really cool when you add warmer colors to the droid.

In addition, when you zoom in with his binoculars, it delivers a reddish-brown sepia tone-style color for you to inspect the landscape with.
