Tips for Playing Star Wars: Battlefront
- Monitor a weapon’s Heat Gauge to prevent overheating. If a weapon overheats you will need to wait until it cools down or complete a mini game where you must line up a dot within a yellow area. Fail and the weapon becomes useless for longer than usual.
- Choose a weapon loadout based on the multiplayer mode. Droid Run, Supremacy and Walker Assault feature wide-open spaces ideal for long-range blaster fire. On the other hand, expect close quarters combat in modes like Cargo, Blast and Drop Zone. For these, bring a shotgun.
- Choose someone as your partner before a multiplayer match. Doing this lets you re-spawn near this person if he or she is alive, and grants access to their hand of Star Cards, allowing you to use cards you’ve yet to unlock.
- Avoid running out into the open. Instead, move between cover points, then peak out and attack. The closer you are to cover, the easier it will be to regenerate your shield.
- When piloting an air-based vehicle or speeder, manage power distribution in mind. Feeding power to your engine makes the vehicle travel faster in exchange for weak firepower. Chase after your enemies, and when they’re in range slow down for max weapon damage.
- Unlock and then create a hand of Star Cards. One hand includes two Star Cards and one Charged Star Card. Normal Star Cards work on a cool-down timer; for example, the Thermal Detonator features a six-second cool down. To activate the Charged Star Card, you must find a Charge Token somewhere on the map. It is possible to upgrade Star Cards.
- Find and take advantage of Power-Ups. Collect these icons and then activate them to receive access to items like an Orbital Strike, Blaster Cannon and Proximity Bomb, among others. These differ from Pick-Ups like Extra Life and Charge, which activate automatically.
