Critical: No damage to objectives with lightsabers (Geonosis/Crait)

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Lightsaber heroes or villains cant attack the objectives anymore since last patch. I tried with Yoda on weekend on the hardcells and he didnt do damage and today with Vader on Crait on the generators. Normally Vader does big damage on the generators as he should - but he doesn't do any since likely last patch. I have recorded Vader and reviewed it. Defnitly no damage and no objective-bp either as no damage was caused. This is very important on especially on Crait since this can turn around the game in the last couple of seconds and so keeps tention till the end. Yoda did do damage on the geonotian hardcells before. So this is since last patch.

    Not only objectives, but lightsabers now won't damage the Officer's turret and Phasma's droid either. Same goes for Palpatine's basic lightning, when it comes to the Officer's turret and the AT-TE - no damage at all.

    Now as you say it - this is bad. I had the same issue with Yoda: couldn't destroy a turret. Also I couldn't cause damage to the AT-TE (but I thought this was normal, though it should not). Thanks for the additional info!!!

    So they removed the ability of damaging structures with lightsabers? I like when they change things out of the blue, without any good reason for it, and don't even put that on the useless patch notes. Well Done DICE

    Hey everyone!

    As I've already mentioned it in the thread about Phasma's droid - we'll look into it as soon as possible. Thanks for providing all the examples so far!

    Thank you - It has become very important for DS ... especially on Geonosis and Crait. I have seen the vast majortity  of games on Geonosis without the droids even being able to destroy just a few AT-TEs.

    e.g. Dooku or Grievous being able to do some serious damage could help a lot. And makes sence as we have seen lightsaber users like Luke, Yoda, Windu or Jarrus doing some tremendous damage to vehicles/ devices.

    (Off topic: Probably think of putting some ion launchers for the droids or geonotian plasma shooters on the map for some balancing ? would improve the map, They could just do some one time damage instead of lowering the shields.)

    Hello everyone! The patch notes for tomorrows update (27-02-2019) are live, you can find them here!

    It also included this line:

    > Lightsaber Heroes can now damage enemy turrets

    So (hopefully) lightsaber heroes can counter the turrets again and also damage the objectives! Be sure to try it out if you can and report back!
