Welcome to a galaxy of chaos, tactics, and surprises. Whether you’re new to Star Wars Battlefront 2 or a long-time veteran, this massive collection of 50 tips will sharpen your gameplay, optimize your loadouts, and help you outthink even the most seasoned enemies. These aren’t just beginner crumbs — even the pros might find a gem or two. Ready? Let’s jump in.

Combat, Positioning & General Gameplay

1. You can kill enemies inside a shield — Just push your weapon through and shoot, or go for the melee.
2. TX-130 Tank missiles can be fired in a barrage — Hold down R1 to load and unleash all at once for massive damage.
3. Officer’s health buff before combat — Use it right before a fight for an extra edge and survivability.
4. Check milestones for credits — The Career > Milestones tab has loads of easy challenges that pay out in credits.
5. High ground matters — Most enemies won’t look up, so take the vertical advantage for free kills.
6. Palpatine lightning pro tip — Use both triggers to zap from both hands, doubling your damage output.
7. Heat management tip — Tap square before full overheat for a faster cooldown. Hit the yellow zone to temporarily prevent overheating.
8. Tanks have weak spots — Especially the vents in the back. Yellow hit markers = bonus damage.
9. Leia’s shield heals — A slow 5hp/sec heal, but vital for regen and recovery in safe zones.
10. Use ion weapons on vehicles — Turrets, torpedoes, grenades — and Heavy class is your MVP here.

Objective Control & Strategy

11. Droidikas can contest and distract — Roll around to delay enemies or pull them off more important points.
12. Saber attacks that bypass blocks — Anakin’s Passionate Strike, Yoda’s Dash, Kylo’s Frenzy all go through enemy blocks.
13. Officer class = fast battle points — Use buffs at the start of the match for a head start.
14. Third-person mode is king — Wider view, corner peeking, and switch shoulder angles with D-pad.
15. Deflect with precision — Aim your saber at shooters to properly reflect blaster bolts.
16. Dash side to side as saber heroes — It throws off enemy aim and minimizes incoming damage.
17. Counter shield users — Aim at their legs. If you’re using a shield, crouch to protect yours.
18. Dash deflects blasters — Well-timed dashes reflect shots right back. Practice the rhythm.
19. Dodge force powers — Master dodge timing and you can evade saber swings and force abilities.
20. Vehicles have unique weak zones — Aim under the AT-AT, hit MTT’s side mounts, target rear zones of tanks.

Advanced Hero Mechanics

21. Best star cards for Officer — ‘Officer’s Presence’ and ‘Improved Battle Command’ get you to hero status faster.
22. Yoda reflects Dooku’s lightning — Time his push correctly and bounce that energy back for big damage.
23. Chewbacca > Boba Fett — Chewie’s bolts knock Boba out of the sky, especially with Furious Resilience.
24. Kylo’s freeze breaks with attacks — So freeze enemies and let blaster allies clean up.
25. Scoreboard matters — First place earns more credits, so go hard.
26. Perfect parries win duels — Hold block, tap R2. Block stays up, and you swing during their attacks.
27. Jump + saber swing = more reach — Great for closing gaps and surprising targets.
28. BB-8 and BB-9E cap objectives fastest — They count as two players when capping.
29. Vader’s choke is mobile — Jump and strafe during choke to reposition enemies for follow-ups.
30. Only basic classes use turrets/objectives — Reinforcements and heroes can’t interact with Ion Disruptors, etc.

Movement & Combat Mastery

31. Master rolling — Rolling toward saber users often throws them off more than backpedaling.
32. Yoda’s presence cancels CC — If frozen or choked, activate presence to break free.
33. Teamwork in HvV is everything — Stick together to live longer and win more.
34. Yoda’s block charges his push — Let enemies fire on you, then release a charged push for max effect.
35. Boba’s concussion disables blasters — Use it to blind and disarm, great against fast-firing heroes like Leia.

XP, Progression & Rewards

36. Play the objective — You gain more XP and battle points while standing on points.
37. Fast credit modes — HvV and Blast matches are quick but give full credit payouts.
38. Strike is solid but variable — Great for XP, but matches can run long.
39. Kills on objectives = bonus XP — Up to 700 XP per kill if you’re standing on an active point.
40. Play on XP boost days — Wednesdays = Triple XP, weekends = Double XP.

Game Mode-Specific Tips

41. Best leveling for reinforcements — Play co-op or Supremacy to power-level units like Jet Troopers or Enforcers.
42. Vehicles like TX-130 or AT-ST — Level these fast in Supremacy where maps support them.
43. Co-op for fast hero leveling — It’s safe, steady XP. Great for learning new heroes too.
44. Supremacy = tank-friendly — You can even cap inside tanks — abuse that perk.

Miscellaneous & Pro Tips

45. Use distractions strategically — Cap A or B while the enemy zergs C. It pulls heat off key points.
46. Some AI can be manipulated — Especially in co-op, learn their movement patterns.
47. Use emotes to bait — Confident players sometimes underestimate you mid-emote.
48. Sprint-cancel reload — Use movement to cut down reload downtime — it’s subtle but effective.
49. Use alt fire on certain guns — Not all blasters have it, but some offer explosive or charged shots.
50. Always adapt your build — Star card combinations can make or break your class performance.
