Fall in, pilots. We’ve received a critical transmission from our allies in outlying sectors. The Mandalorian Season 2 is upon us! In preparation for the much-anticipated second season, we’ve flown in a frigate to provide you all with a themed supply drop!

Mandalorian Supply Drop cosmetics

We've worked with Lucasfilm to bring a few Mando-themed goodies to Star Wars™: Squadrons. The Mandalorian is something that has often been a source of inspiration for us due to its close proximity to our game’s timeline, so it only felt natural to pay homage to it.

But of course, we know there’s a particular new cosmetic most of you are hoping for. . . .

The \"Mysterious Creature\" is adorable!

Paying homage to the iconic character, we’ve made sure to create this wonderful new dashboard decoration based on a “Mysterious Creature.” This figure can adorn any dashboard across the New Republic’s starfighters, meaning the fan-favorite Tuggtar bobblehead now has a rival! Both factions will receive one hologram, one decal, one dashboard flair, and one hanging flair, meaning eight new cosmetics in total for you to unlock.

Until the update on the 28th, fly safe and watch each other's backs. You never know when your squadron will need you most. And if you want to check out the second season of The Mandalorian (since we definitely will be), be sure to tune in on October 30th over at Disney+. This is the way.

See you in the stars, pilots.

Are these permanent in game items or do they have to be unlocked in a limited time?

You can unlock them at any time from the moment they're added. They're not timed.

Hello /u/EA_Charlemagne I have yet been able to enjoy the game due to the refresh/frame rate issue that can be wildly discussed everywhere on the internet. Is there an ETA for a fix? It's been nearly a month now since release.

About nine hours ago as a secret part of this update!

Didnt you say there were balance changes coming in next (this) patch? Are we getting patch notes?

No, not this one. The one next week has those changes.

I’m confused as to why this wouldn’t be widely publicized.

It will be once we've confirmed the fix is working as intended across all the many various pieces of hardware. We don't want to say "this is fixed" until we're sure it is for pretty much all our players.

This is just embarrassing. Are you honestly proud of your team's work /u/EA_Charlemagne? I don't expect an answer, but I hope you take the criticism to heart because your team has fumbled the launch of one of the funnest games I've ever played.

Wait, what's embarrassing? That we don't want to say something is fixed unless we're sure?

Releasing a patch and leaving your customers to scramble on the internet to figure out what was or wasn't fixed, with no clear ETA on when patch notes will be available, after what has been in my opinion, a very poor launch plagued with game-breaking bugs.

I'm justifiably frustrated at the lack of information coming from your team. You could've said "Here are the things we attempted to fix-- please help us by continuing to report bugs that may be local to your system so that we can have more data on issues when working on fixes."

To clear something up, we've said a few times now that there are no release notes for this update since the previous Pilot Briefing detailed what was being added and once we confirm the fixes are solid we will be messaging more widely what's been addressed.
