Go for the Cooling Cell to let you get off more shots if you’re facing a group of bad guys, and stack it against your grenade of choice to spread some mid to long range panic (personally we favour the Flash Grenade here, but the Thermal Detonator is a faithful explosive) and the Jump Pack to close distance quickly or get the heck out of dodge as necessary. Choose something like the CA-87 as your main weapon, which has, we must emphasise, almost zero range, but is extremely powerful, especially if you can make those headshots. The Mos Eisley PatronĪlso known as The Up Close and Personal, this is for players who like to see the whites of their enemy’s eyes before they extinguish the light in them. This way you’re dealing significant damage at any range and, with a bit of skill, can clear out a lot of the front line.

Build your deck with the Cooling Cell as the Charged Star Card, the Thermal Detonator to take out pockets of enemies, and the Scout Pistol for when you get in close.

It’s important to press your advantage in Battlefront, and you can do that well with an an aggressive assault tactic, especially on the bigger game modes, Walker Assault and Supremacy, where it’s okay to be relentless canon fodder.Ĭhoose a powerful main weapon that lets you start firing from range (along the lines of the A280C or maybe the DLT-19 if you’re feeling frisky). If you feel like that hobbles you too much on modes without a vehicle focus then switch it out for Focus Fire or Cooling Cell, both of which will make you more deadly to the ground troops. Then slot in a long range weapon like the Pulse Cannon as your other regular card, giving you some ranged flexibility if you need it.įor your Charged Star Card go for the Ion Shot, which adds some serious chops against droids and vehicles. The Thermal Detonator is great for tactically bouncing off walls and into unsuspecting enemies behind cover the Thermal Impactor is more immediately deadly but requires more precise aim. Your first port of call should always be a grenade (do not apply this logic to things like the queue in Starbucks being too long).

The Han of All TradesĪlright, if you’re starting out at Battlefront and haven’t found your niche yet, or if you just like being an everyman kind of player, then you need a hand of Star Cards to match. Nothing would give us more joy than if, in a Battlefront game in the distant future, we heard a random person say they were running a Mos Eisley Patron or trying The Reckless Wookie. These cover a wide variety of situations, and we would encourage you to share them and use the code names associated as much as possible. Getting the right combination of Star Cards in Star Wars Battlefront can make a massive difference to your game, and since we’ve been playing it a lot lately we’ve come up with a list of our favourite hands.
