Galactic Assault is all about battle point economy.
There are easier and better ways to get a huge incomes of battle points besides just going on a killing spree.
Do research and watch streams for specific strategies for each map.
Once you learn these strategies you will climb higher on the leader boards, progress your profile level much faster, and have a much larger impact for your team to ultimately win more games.
Heavy:
Your sentry mode is specifically designed for providing covering fire and damaging objectives. It has extremely good sustained damage and great accuracy, make sure to use it when appropriate.Also make sure to cancel it early to get back your mobility when needed.
The heavy class has great alternative tools that can be unlocked with the correct cards. Heavies can be very effective at controlling the skies above them and can really hinder enemy vehicles when they have the right tools equipped.
The heavy class has a turret which has a fairly misleading description. The AI for this turret is supremely better than the AI for the officer's turret and it will attack infantry if no vehicles are in range.
Ok [Deluxe edition player here so i'm just going to make a big list here.
Go for the objective as much as possible to earn more Battlepoints
Galactic assault
- Multiple large targets (I.e. 2 MTTs or Walkers) particularly on Kayskyyk target one mtt at a time concentrate fire on one target at a time
- Kamino and Maz's Castle: Attackers Rush the first objective as soon as they bolt it down you're in trouble
- Deathstar: officer's disruptor here is very useful as its normally a grenade fest
Heroes
- Palpatine: Remember to use both aim and shoot to fire lighting out of both hands
- Yoda: Aim is block use it to build up then press L1 (for ps4) to do a much bigger push back
- Iden: activate the stun droid early it takes a little bit before stunning the enemy
- Han: use shoulder charge on melee heroes to knock them down and shoot them fast or try and escape.
Aerial and Trooper
- Aerial alway use that dash(roll) when out of jetpack abilities as it manoevers you very fast
- Flametrooper use your overload ability to quickly kill enemies, remember it's short range though
- All trooper's grenades are great.
Thats it for now.
- There is an issue. In galactic assault most anti-armor weapons are not available until later in the game. The game expletive changes from the start of launch to the next dlc because more players unlock the ability.
Galactic Assault tip:
For the Assault class use your vanguard ability at the start of the round and each phase to quickly get to the objective sooner.
This works best if your're the attackers on the first phase at the start of the round (especially on Kamino for the droids). You can get to the objective before the defenders this way and if you can hold off some of the defenders at the point(s) long enough for everyone to move in you can get a foothold inside the rooms or areas faster and will save time/lives drastically without having to deal with all the choke points.
If you have friends to back you up using the same tactic this is more effective and easier to do. Especially if you can't hold off many enemies on your own for long.
Using officers health buff at the beginning of the round on Naboo Galatic Assault is helpful to protect against snipers , since at the beginning of the round the other team is direct opposite your entire team.
By the time you get to the first area to defend an officer with an EPIC recharge abilities and EPIC buff card will be 90+% recharged.Use the officers dome shield to cap objectives which require you to hold a button (X button on Xbox One) either by holding it continuously or once to set the charge. I've won many games bum-rushing an objective , popping officers health buff (epic tier) and then quickly deploying a shield to cap an objective which requires you to hold a button continuously or once to set a charge timer. (alternately you can use the specialists shield to do the same thing on objectives which only require a quick button press and not a continuous hold)
The night vision scope (on any weapon) can *see through walls and cover once you've spotted the target in the scope if they go back behind cover you will notice you can see them through the cover now.
* needs verification , I'm almost positive this is true , I could see through the walls using night vision on officer weapon on Endor defending against rebels trying to take the main computer. I'm guessing once they're spotted through the scope , they can be visible through walls and cover for a short time.
If you're new to the game and are having trouble doing well, try to get familiar with the aerial troopers and droids , they are dirt cheap at 2000 and have amazing mobility. With just a few kills you can rack up 2000 pretty fast. Use aerials to pick away at opponents from a height advantages by getting to areas inaccessible to regular soldier classes , even heroes can't always get to you just keep distance from heroes so they can't use any of their freeze abilities. When you do get hurt quickly retreat away using all of the jetpack abilities to regain health , rinse repeat.
