Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks You Need To Know
3. Turret-Control Is Vital
This speaks more to Hoth than any other map, but whether you're defending or attacking, it is vital that you control the main turrets in the area. Rebel attacks on the Imperial Walkers are amplified by the various 'dish' turrets located strategically around the map, as they score major hit-points when they find their target. Likewise the anti-personal turrets are essential to slowing down the pace of the impending Imperial advance, and their deadly firepower can even be used against the rebels themselves. This becomes notably troublesome in the final stages of the map, where both Rebels and Stormtroopers are pushed out into the open to reach their objectives. If you can't hold onto a turret it's best to destroy it so the other team can't use it. They're not as strategically important on other maps, but their usefulness really can't be overstated on places like Hoth.
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.
