New Battlefront 2 Update Now Live; Patch Notes Reveal Major Darth Vader Nerf

Update: The February 12 update for Star Wars Battlefront II is now live. It implements a much needed nerf for Darth Vader and also fixes several bugs associated with new playable characters BB-8 and BB-9E. Our original story follows.

The most recent update to Star Wars Battlefront II added the pair of BB droids, the lovable BB-8 and his evil First Order doppelganger BB-9E. But no droid rolls off the assembly line bug-free, so DICE has announced plans for an upcoming patch that will make some adjustments to the droids among other fixes and balance changes.

Now Playing: Star Wars Battlefront 2: Rise Of Skywalker DLC 60 Kill Streak Gameplay

The patch notes mention fixes for the BB units having the wrong voiceover lines, and for Grevious’ Claw Rush move sometimes draining opponent stamina. The MC85 Star Cruiser and Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer are both getting improvements to collision detection, visual effects, and lighting.

Some balance changes are coming as well. Those include Battle Point gain reduced by 50% for the Ovissian Gunner, Caphex Spy, Sith Trooper, and First Order Jet Trooper, aligning them with other Reinforcement units. The big bad Darth Vader himself is getting a big bad nerf as well, with damage reduction going from 75% down to 20%.

The update is set to go live on Wednesday, February 12 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. You can check the times and full patch notes below.
