Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 Gameplay Details The Trailers Haven't Shown You
3. BD-1's Multiple Functions
BD-1 isn't just a cute companion for Cal, he's actually one of his most useful allies.
We've seen little glimpses of BD-1's functionality during the gameplay trailers, but he plays a bigger role than some are anticipating.
Not only does BD-1 act as Cal's map of the environment, he can scan objects for information, heal Cal when he's low on health and can even be used to ride down ziplines. BD even acts as an additional health meter by changing colour depending on your condition.
It seems like BD-1's abilities act as one of the game's exploration gates too, as some of his upgrades are used to manipulate the environment.
In short, BD-1 is an incredibly important character in Jedi Fallen Order, and the game seems to revolve just as much around him as it does Cal.
With the rest of the crew of The Mantis seemingly close by at all times, don't expect this to be a lonely adventure.
