Star Wars Battlefront II får nytt Blast-kart, Hero-skip og mer

Star Wars Battlefront II fikk en del ekstra innhold kort tid etter at spillet ble lansert i fjor, men de har ikke tenkt å bare gi oss store oppdateringer. 2018s første oppdatering er nemlig ikke like stor når det kommer til hva den tilbyr innholdsmessig.

Ikke at jeg klager. Dagens oppdatering lar oss blant annet spille Blast-modusen på salte Crait, samtidig som vi nå får mulighet til å kontrollere Iden sin TIE Interceptor i Starfighter Assault. Sistnevnte har egenskaper som afterburner, laser barrage, dual proton torpedoes og inferno leader som markerer alle fiender innenfor et bestemt område mens disse fiendene samtidig vil ta ekstra mye skade fra alle på laget ditt.

I tillegg til dette er det også gjort flere endringer av våpen, Heroes/Villians-figurer og ulike figurklasser. Nærmere detaljer om disse finner du under:
