Q about Hutt Contratcs:Are they bounties, challenges? is there more info about it? are they free (per the trailer) or in the dlc?
A:Correct. Much more info really soon. Jabba is coming!

lol

 

[5taquitos]

The new "Survivors of Endor" map is pretty good, I cannot find the new Star Cards though :/

New Star Cards come in the DLC, not in the March update (at least for the first batch).

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Is it safe to assume that Endor and Hoth are now done, map wise?

I can't wait to play as Jabba on the villain side. His ranged attack would be chucking Salacious Crumb at the enemy who then proceeds to gauge out their eyes with his beak mouth.

I was going to make this joke.

But here we are.

Ah I see, thanks.

 

[Forerunner]

I would assume that. They each have two large maps. When the DLC is release Tatooine and Sullust will also have multiple maps. Jakka will be the only setting with one map.

Played for the first time in a couple weeks to try out the new map. I only played it on Supremacy since its my go to mode. I can honestly say that I love this new map its pure pandemonium.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Man,this game looks to be only getting started.

Looking forward to it all.

Yup it's awesome in Supremacy

Is there any other mode worth checking out? ive only had the game for a month, but nothing clicked like supremacy.

Turning Point is my favorite mode in the game at the moment.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

loving the largeness of the new maps hope they keep with this for future maps

 

[PrankT]

Sooo. Which are good and bad weapons and cards? I used the shotgun in survival mode and did quite good, thinking about using that online.

With shock blaster I use jetpack, focus, and cycler.

If you like Supremacy you should try out Turning Point as 5taquitos said.

How do I add spoiler tag since the image is pretty big?

Impressive

Use the quote tags

Does the update auto-download? I can't seem to find it.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Yeah, it just unlocks without needing to DL anything.

 

[MADGAME]

When do we think we will get full Outer Rim deets and trailer?

 

[Kovet]

best spread on an infantry only game ive had yet. love drop zone, hate the map though

 

[Zank Frappa]

I noticed that some characters on the Rebels side have green costumes. I looked into the appearances and could only find unlocks for the Head portion of my character. Are there unlockable costumes in the game?

The rebel outfits are planet specific. The green ones are worn when playing on Endor. No costume changing in the game at present, but some heads when selected also change accessories such as belts, straps, and backpacks.

Can't believe it's even possible for a team to get that many deaths in a drop zone game. Good job. Nice write-up the other day as well.

 

[Palpable]

The new Endor map is great... on the second & third tiers of WA. Otherwise, it just reminds me of how much I hate forest maps.

Also, screw explosive shot. Git gud

I wouldnt mind explosive shot but it seems to increase the range/ hit box of each blaster shot and thats really annoying especially when its paired with the DH-17 or A280C

Ah, yes! It was indeed on Endor. Thanks.

Seem to be encountering a lot of head glitching AT-ST's recently. Hopefully this isn't a trend.
See this for an example (skip to about 4:00):
https://youtu.be/OcbnuZMPJxE
From the other side only the very top of the head is visible and so is almost impossible to shoot. I encountered it in exactly this location but also on endor, where he was shooting from behind a tree.

 

[lawnchair]

i hope jabba's bounty is something like "Receive 20,000 credits for killing Infinity_Patriot"

LOL!

"Bonus points for using Explosive Shot."

@Craig_41144 the level cap increase will bring a new 'bragging rights' item to unlock.

 

[5taquitos]

Emote?

 

[MADGAME]

Emote?

Could be, or maybe a chrome skin? If so I suppose that would only be "bragging" for the Imps. I wish they would just spill the beans on all Outer Rim updates.

 

[shanafan]

When do challenges that I can purchases reset?

 

[OdysseusVA]

Smart rocket needs a bigger blast radius

 

[Sayers]

New map is gorgeous of course.

Too bad the rebels still have near perfect camouflage on Endor maps

 

[patchday]

is new map out on ps4 version? Hm, I see the last time my ps4 updated was on 2/23

<edit nvm guess I got it- joining survivors of endor>

I think the map was included in the last patch.

 

[OdysseusVA]

So purdy. Too bad Im not too fond of the larger game modes

 

[DrGonzo615]

Did they nerf the Tie fighters? I swear I use to be able to kill people with these things now it feels like their targeting system is all over the place. Even with a yellow lock they miss all the time.

Going back to back between the Tie advanced and the X-wing shows just what a POS the Ties are.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

They don't. Either you complete them or buy them of.

 

[5taquitos]

I love the crazy Ewok village at the rebel end of the new map, I really hope they turn the treetop section into a dedicated small map.

Also noticed a few frame hitches too, nothing too major though.

 

[Ozorov]

I'm really looking forward to these Hutt contracts and the level cap increase(and hopefully many things to unlock skins etc) as of now I have nothing to play for but the funs and the daily challenges. Always good to have something to save up for or to have a goal

Noticed that too, but only in the last uplink fase.

 

[Oynox]

Played my first rounds yesterday in the new mode. I got mostly killed by T21Bs and EE3s.. Not DL44 as I thought.. And it seems true that everybody is running the Pulse Cannon. Also, the mobile shield appears to be quite popular.
My final thought was that it is astonishing how many people already have so many of those upgraded star cards.

However it was fun anyway, though I feel that the rebels have a slight advantage in the new mode.

Its kind of weird how the in-game stats don't seem top match up with the EA career page stats. I'm on PS4.

Kills are the same, matches played are the same but score, win ratio and time played is different.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

So I'm doing visual tours of all the planets in Battlefront. Started with Endor and doing Hoth next, because these two probably won't be getting anymore maps. Going to do all the planets eventually.

Maybe it's counting the beta in the career page?

 

[Xzan]

That's entirely possible. I did blitz BF a bit during the beta but over 30 hours still seems a lot.
