Today the new DLC will be released for Star Wars Battlefront.

besides the death star there will be some changes.

 

Some things I like or dislike are:

 

LIKE:

- DEATH STAR and the new mode! 

- A-wing: The Shield ability has been replaced with a Speed Boost ability. >> Finally we can boost us into battle instead!

- Appearance: Updated the appearance system and now allows the user to switch heads to the various body types >> There will be more choices! 

- Fighter Squadron & Battle Station: New power-ups have been added for both the Rebel and Imperial sides. >> Looks interesting. 

 

DISLIKE:

Traits: All traits have been updated and most levels have new abilities

-- The Bounty Hunter Trait is changed... no more power ups when killing rebels! 

 

___-*-*-*-___

 

Here is the list of all new content. But also all the changes they made:

 

New content for DLC owners:

  • New levels: Five new maps set around or on the Death Star.
  • New game mode: Battle Station
    A new three-phased mode in which Rebels attempt to destroy an Imperial Star Destroyer in order to clear space for a GR-75 and its brave Rebel boarding party. Then, these Rebels participating in an assault on the Death Star in hopes of rescuing R2-D2 before, finally, attempting to destroy the Death Star itself with the help of Luke Skywalker.

New Weapons:

  • TL-50 Heavy Repeater: A heavy blaster with a secondary fire mode which launches an explosive round.
  • K-16 Bryar Pistol: A powerful blaster pistol with a secondary fire ability which allows the player to charge up a powerful shot.

New Star Cards:

  • Laser Trip mine: Can be attached on any surface and will explode when an enemy passes it. It will also scramble the radar of any enemy that gets too close.
  • Medical Droid: A stationary droid that is placed by the player. The droid will send out a “healing pulse” every 3 seconds and reduce the cooldown for the players star cards.

New Heroes:
Bossk:

  • Micro Grenades – The primary weapon fires “micro grenades” which are tiny grenades that deal explosive damage.
  • Predatory Instincts – It changes the visuals so you see characters’ heat signatures. Bossk is also enhanced while the power is active, increasing his damage, his sprint speed, and the cooldown speed of his abilities. This ability doesn’t have a cooldown and can be turned on/off at anytime.
  • Toxic Escape – Bossk throws a Dioxis Grenade and leaps away from the explosion in the direction in which he was moving.
  • Trait: Trandoshan Regeneration – Bossk regenerates part of his lost health when killing enemy soldiers or doing high damage to heroes.

Chewbacca

  • Multi-Bolts – Doubles the amount of bolts fired from his weapon
  • Mighty Roar - Chewbacca roars and empowers himself and his allies. It will do the following:
    • Rebel soldiers receive the Berserker level 3 effect and increased armor for a limited time.
    • Friendly Heroes receive increased armor for a limited time
    • Chewbacca receives increased damage and armor for a limited time.
  • Ground Slam - Chewbacca slams the ground, damaging and pushing back enemies in an area around the point of impact. This ability can be used while in the air.
  • Trait: Furious Firing : Increases the amount of bolts fired from Chewbacca’s Bowcaster by 1 per rank in the trait.

Vehicles

  • New Hero vehicles: Red Five (Luke Skywalker) and Tie Advanced x1 (Darth Vader) will be introduced as new playable hero vehicles on both Battle Station and Fighter Squadron. In addition to this, users will be able to spawn in as “wingmen” whenever Red Five or TIE Advanced x1 are active on the level. Red Five has the following abilities:

• Shields - that prevent the vehicle from taking damage for a short duration or until shields are depleted.
• Proton Torpedoes - that are missiles that track down enemy targets.
• R2-D2 Repair - which will heal a set amount of health.

TIE Advanced x1 has the following abilities:
• Shields - that prevent the vehicle from taking damage for a short duration or until shields are depleted.
• Speed Boost - which will allow the vehicle to briefly fly faster.
• Relentless Assault - which will allow the player to fire the main weapon more rapidly, deal bonus damage and not overheat.

  • A-wing: The Shield ability has been replaced with a Speed Boost ability.
  • Skirmish: Resolved a bug in which players could spawn as a soldier with hero abilities if they were playing co-op.

  • HuD: updated the player health visual to better illustrate the boosted health that can be gained from the Bacta Bomb.
  • Fighter Squadron: Removed an on screen prompt for the player to be able to exit the cloud car.

That's a lot of new content for just one update. I'll be looking forward to trying this out! A little disappointed about the new villain. I would've thought Grand Moff Tarkin would be more suited for a Death Star DLC

Does anyone know how to unlock the trophy where you have to restrain R2-D2? I thought just shooting it and stopping it would be enough, but the trophy didn't pop. Then I thought ok, We probably have to win the game at this phase, but that didn't work either. Also how does the healing work?

Shooting R2 is not enough. You have to run over to him while his health is at 0 and hold square to restrain.

Bacta bombs works as healing. Just heal 100 members and you get it, easy.

What's hilarious is as a rebel, if you are particularily good at button mashing and are D2, you can't possibly lose that part of the match. When you 'die' as R2, you have a mash button prompt, that, if successful, gives you a small health top-off and lets you continue. And you can chain that indefinately

Blast on the Death Star is a ideal location for mass healing points!!!

Yes. Any form of healing counts so the bacta-bomb plus the new medical droid cards.

 

I wonder if healing yourself counts towards the trophy... :hmm:

 

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but I'm going take a guess it does.
