Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks You Need To Know
8. Orbital Strikes Are Pretty Much Invaluable
Walker Assault drew an awful lot of criticism in the beta for its Imperial-favoured edge (a bit illegitimate, considering the Empire's overwhelming force adds to the immersion of comprising a part of a rag-tag Rebel unit) and though its been tweaked since the Rebels have a pretty hard task to take the lumbering behemoths down. Keeping uplinks active is a must in order to ensure you get the max amount of time to pummel the AT-AT with ion charges and turret shots, but there are a few extra powerups that can make all the difference in attaining a rebel victory. If you're lucky enough to pick up an Orbital Strike you should never waste it on infantry. It may seem like a good idea at the time and will nab you a few extra points, but bringing the strike down when the AT-AT's are vulnerable will benefit you and your team a heck of a lot more in the long-term.
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.
