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

9. Own The Active Reload

One of the more minor influences Gears of War has had on the latest Star Wars experience, active 'venting' takes the place of magazine reloads in the name of authenticity, so choosing your shots carefully is more important than ever. Yes, there's a positive trade-off in that you no longer have to scavenge areas in a desperate search for ammo, but overheating in the middle of a firefight is pretty much a death sentence - well, unless you master those vent times that is. As you fire you'll notice that beneath your reticle a red bar fills up. Once it overheats you'll have a brief opportunity to circumvent the cool-down process altogether and fire off a whole new volley of shots, but if you miss the prompt don't be surprised to find yourself hunched over in the corner of the Mos Eisley cantina lamenting past mistakes.
