Star Wars Battlefront: 15 Brand New Features You Need To Know About

8. Chewie's Bowcaster Is A Star Card Power-Up

One of the biggest problems people had across the beta was down to the weapon variation - or rather, the lack of it. Out of three blaster rifles and one pistol, only the latter felt like it had any differentiation in firing, which when you get eyes on the full weapon list, is a worrying constant. What could've saved this would've been a Bowcaster - the signature Chewbacca/Wookie crossbow-style firearm. In 2015's Battlefront, even though there are some race options to your character's appearance, Wookies aren't playable at all, and that's reconciled the 'Caster to a timed Star Card. Its description reads,

Depending on the charge-up time, the Bowcaster fires 1 or more explosive bolts in a horizontal arc.As robust and formidable as its Wookiee creators, the Bowcaster is more powerful than an average blaster, making it a favorite among mercenaries and bounty hunters across the galaxy.
