Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

Mashing buttons and jumping around is no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Almost 10 years in the making, the long-awaited successor to Pandemic's nostalgically adored Battlefront franchise has finally marked its debut on consoles, though its ability to please every fan has been somewhat lost in the transition to modern day reboot. The fact that DICE's shooter is rework of the older games has of course led to an overhaul of both graphics and gameplay, of which there can be no denial that the studio has managed to capture the look and feel of Star Wars immaculately. The game plays great, looks beautiful, and it's bound to have fans young and old returning to the title long after The Force Awakens undoubtedly breaks box office records in December. Assuming you're hoping to vaporise the competition in Battlefront's many arenas, there are quite a few tips, tricks and tactics that should form a part of any seasoned Stormtrooper's strategy. With so many different customisable options, there are plenty of ways for players to carve out their identity, differentiating themselves from the usual rank and file who will no doubt become all too accustomed to receiving torrents of blaster fire - always at the most inconvenient of moments. So, to make sure you're not that Stormtrooper who hits their head and Wilhelm-screams themselves into the distance at the first sign of danger, click on through and make that transition to the new Star Wars era just that little bit less arduous.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
