Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has come a long way with new update

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was one of the worst releases of all time. This was not because the game was bad. It was because of the terrible loot boxes that were in the game. After the players’ rampage, these systems were removed from the game. With the latest update to the game, I decided to get back in the game and try it once more. I can easily say that the game is it’s best condition right now. Since the release of The Rise of Skywalker, EA DICE  has made a big update to the game. If you want to try the game, now it is your best chance. You can check out the patch notes of the game below.

BOBA FETT

• Improvements to Boba Fett’s jetpack including:
• Continued momentum when out of fuel
• Fuel bars are shown near the crosshair

BOSSK

• Fire Input Tweaks
• Tweaked the fire input block durations while activating his abilities. Bossk will now have a short fire input block while throwing Dioxis Grenade and while deploying Proximity Mines. This is to ensure he cannot fire while deploying these, similar to how other characters behave while deploying and throwing gadgets.
• The duration of the fire block while activating Predator Instincts has been increased to match the animation. He can no longer fire the first shot before he holds his rifle in both hands again.
