Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks You Need To Know
2. See a Hero? Run
Unless you're shooting from afar and have a reasonable avenue of escape, taking on a hero from the front is never going to end well. In narrow interiors Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are absolute tanks, being able to steamroll through the enemy at an alarmingly quick rate. Sharpshooters like Han, Leia and Boba are less adept in these closed off areas however, so if you are going to stay and fight these characters, it's best to do it where there's little room for them to manoeuvre. The opposite is of course true for the Jedi and Sith of the game though, as encirclement and long-range engagement is really the only way to safely takedown a force-user with minimal casualties. Running into one of these cinematic icons is never going to be pretty when you're on your own, so your best bet in those situations is to hightail it out of there and hope that your pursuer becomes preoccupied with something else in your immediate vicinity.
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.
