Hello there,
It’s been great watching your reactions to the arrival of both BB-8 and BB-9E last week, and we hope you’ve been enjoying Supremacy within the Age of Resistance.
With the BB Update now live our next deployment is a small patch, which goes live on Wednesday, Feb 12th. This patch has a number of fixes, including issues such as BB-8 and BB-9E having the wrong VO lines and a fix for General Grievous’ Claw Rush sometimes draining all the stamina of an opponent.
We’ve also implemented various collision, visual effects and lighting improvements across both MC85 Star Cruiser and the Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer.
Some balance changes are also arriving in this patch, with the Ovissian Gunner, Caphex Spy, Sith Trooper and First Order Jet Trooper having their Battle Point gain reduced by 50% to bring them in line with other Reinforcements.
We are lowering the heat cost for the spool-up functionality on the Heavy Trooper’s Sentry abilities and Darth Vader is having his damage reduction reduced from 75% down to 20%.
The update is currently scheduled to go live at our usual deployment times of 09:00 UTC (PC), 10:00 UTC (PS4) and 11:00 UTC (Xbox One).
We look forward to seeing you on the battlefront.
The Star Wars Battlefront II team
