Star Wars Battlefront II - Release Notes - October Hotfix

Hi everyone,

In this hotfix we will be focusing on key issues that were introduced in the Squad System Update, as well as tackling some key pieces of community feedback.

We have made some tweaks to the Squad System and have fixed issues that have been flagged since its release. We will be limiting squad spawning to be Trooper on Trooper only. This change comes directly from community feedback, where the ability to spawn with heroes right back into the action was creating some unbalanced scenarios.

Elsewhere within the community we know that the topic of ‘Health Stacking’ has been growing more and more prominent. This hotfix is allowing us to make changes where this will not be possible, and fights should now be a lot more even.

Based on recent discussion within the community, we have decided to reduce the Battle Points for the AT-RT to 300.

As always, we thank you for your continued feedback, please do keep it coming.

The Star Wars Battlefront II Team
