SWBF2 Arcade Points
Hi Guys … just a passing question as I don't see any info in the FAQs. I'm sure we have all played Arcade and probably will continue to play the Custom Mode (esp. when you can't get a live game 🙂 )...

Hello @chuntery and of course @Tinogiggedy
In arcade, you earn BP by killing AI, but these points can only be used to buy heroes and enforcers in that match (the game should then not be set to "Free for all" but to "default" for player class).
The credit pay-out at the end of a game, 100 or 125, doesn't seem to depend on the score you get in the match at all. The time is directly related to the credit pay-out. So if you want to earn 125 credits from one arcade match, you must finish the match within about 20 seconds (if I am not mistaken).
I found that if you desperately need credits quickly then set up the custom arcade to
- a suitable location e.g. Yavin
- free for all
- 10 players at an AI rookie setting
- select your favourite trooper/ hero with good firepower e.g. Death trooper/Finn
..and play. If you are lucky and re-spawning is local to your hero then you can achieve the desired kills in 12 to 18 seconds. The challenge becomes how fast you can win. If you are unlucky it will take 30 to 35 seconds. It takes longer for the game to reset than play. This way you can quickly earn 1300 1500 credits each day … and then get on with a live multiplayer.
Of course if you want a different challenge then simply revert to a hard AI setting and a large number of troops (the 6 and 8 year old always go for maximum troops when playing arcade)
Each Arcade game generates points that don't seem to have any use either in the game or after.
