Star Wars Battlefront 2 - 30 TIPS & TRICKS YOU SHOULD KNOW!

[@ZHL242]

2 tips for Hoth: if the rebels destroy one of the walkers, the corresponding shield door will not open for the imperials in the 2nd phase, giving the rebels a huge advantage because they have to cover fewer entrances. Conversely, if this happens to you as the imperials, there is a small button on the inside of the shield door that, if activated, opens it for your team, so definitely try to sneak around and get to it (I've heard a rumor that if you shoot the switch as the rebels the imperials can't activate it, but it's not confirmed). Tip for Takodana/Endor: Luke can jump and then force push in midair (make sure to hold down the button or it won't work) to reach the battlements of Maz's castle or the catwalks on Endor. Use that to surprise attack any camping Boba Fetts in HvV. Tip for Boba: his For the Hunt ability also takes him off the radar, similar to Rey's Insight. Tip for Phasma: in HvV, ALWAYS stick with your shock droid. It makes you near invincible against lightsaber heroes, who have to get right up in your face to do damage, and once they do, your droid will immobilize them for long enough for you to take out 90% of their health if you land all your headshots. Another tip for Hoth: the NT-242's disruptor shot can take out a DF-9 turret (the rotatey ones, not the dish ones) in five shots. Use it without dual zoom so you can use improved cooling and fire three times before overheating instead of two. Tip for the EL-16HFE: don't fire it automatically unless in very close range. You'll land way more shots from moderate to long range by firing it semiautomatically. Tip for the officer class: use battle command at the very beginning of matches, where your team is all bunched up together and you can get a lot of them at once. You'll get 25 battlepoints per teammate affected, giving you and your squadmates an edge by already filling up the 2x meter. This is especially effective on Theed as the extra health prevents your teammates from getting sniped immediately by nerds like me who use the NT-242. Sorry for the long-ass post, but hope these helped a few people.

[@joshmarion8640]

ZHL242 nah ur good dude I learned some stuff about hoth thanks bro

[@cannibalraptor]

On crait. If you have unlocked the ion shot for the fast firing sniper rifle or the disruptor shot for the NT sniper rifle. Use those to shoot down the ski speeders as the first order. Gets you points for the kill and for destroying the vehicle. The burst fire sniper is good for when they start flying closer but it leaves at a disadvantage when trying to snipe troopers. Its just down to preference

[@antoniomatos21]

ZHL242 people like u makes me like to play battlefront 2 ;) sadly because of the controler aim in ps4 people are "worst" players

[@term3092]

Oh shit that's how it works, I thought it was just a glitch every now and then

[@gabrielp4502]

Really nice tips, thank you :D

[@SashaMasonVR]

4:00 There's actually one very good reason for First Person: The ability to easily look and see through gaps in your cover. In third person, you might have a very hard time actually shooting through possible gaps because of the camera placement.

[@BattlefrontUpdates]

Turns out the controller Scheme I found for Battlefront 2 online was wrong - cooling down your weapon on PS4 is actually on square and not X - On Xbox it's X and not A !

[@adixiegentleman9502]

BattlefrontUpdates also on Xbox one it is X to cool down your weapon not A

[@SFGiantsW]

Lol no worries man

[@SFGiantsW]

Great video!

[@Richard3rd665]

Another Tip you missed: You can combo han solo's shoulder charge into a second one by hitting the charge ability during the animation of him hitting someone with the charge or stopping after he ran the max distance. I havent tested this on consoles but i know it works on PC. When used on enemies who are not killed by the charge it allows you to hit with it multiple times. (Only a second charge can be combo'd before a cooldown but multiple hit markers appear. The multiple hit markers may be a bug)

[@C0zzzM1c]

Richard 3rd I use this all the time

[@Dangercat]

Thank god, now I can finally stop playing like an idiot and actually help the team

[@greenlantern223]

doesn't matter this game is full of hackers and cheaters and ea servers just suck

[@rainmaker2338]

greenlantern223 maybe on the "master race" you'll have those problems :)

[@JJ_Adventures]

greenlantern223 yeah, console people don’t have that problem. If you’re playing on pc, then that’s your own fault lol it’s kinda common knowledge that pc gamers cheat on a normal basis with online AAA games

[@Memento--Mori]

greenlantern223 The pc mustard race in action. We don't have to worry about hackers at all. Dark Souls is a great example. Console: Fine PC: Hackers left and right

[@CrystalMcKenzie]

Great vid, as always. :) Thanks for the tips! Manual reload for your blaster on PS4 is square (same button as activating an object), not X. Also, instead of using the reload button to hit the blue or yellow zones after overheating, just fire it again in one of those zones to activate it (don't know if this works on pc though).

[@karlmaakus3755]

I've played this game about as much as you and I actually didn't know about Rey and Han's charges could be cancelled! Especially useful since I have Star cards that makes me take less damage while charging.

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

Marcus W it’s super useful for Rey makes her charge miles better.

[@C0zzzM1c]

Hans can go twice if you press the button as soon as it cancels or if you hit someone.You can’t do this glitch if you cancel the charge automatically

[@stormpegasus121]

What you should do as Rey is charge at them, and the moment you hit them, you press the attack button. Since the enemies are knocked on the ground, immediatly attacking them wil result in a free and easy kill, at least thats how i play Rey and it has always worked for me.

[@RazorwireReviews]

Don't think I've ever done a full Rey charge, I always dash out of it to be quick, it's a great tip to know! :)

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

stormpegasus121 yep can be hard to pull off though I find I often end up cancelling the charge instead.

[@camiloidrobo4430]

Tip: If Boba's jetpack gets completely down and you pop up your "For the Hunt" ability, you won't be able to use your jetpack until your ability ends.

[@NyomiHendon]

or use melee

[@ft-w8052]

Finally! Everyone’s been saying it’s a glitch

[@JinchK]

Willie Stroker It's not, if you use For The Hunt it makes your jet pack fuel stay while the ability is active so if you use for the hunt while you have no jet pack fuel it'll stay empty until the ability is done.

[@karandash_play]

Chicken Nuggetmaster360 IDIOT. THE SPECIAL RULE OF "FOR THE HUNT ABILITY" SAYS - enemies around are revealed for a short period of time during which Boba Fett dissapears from enemy radars and can utilize unlimited Jetpack fuel. Can you see dat? IDIOT? UNLIMITED JETPACK! That means you can use it forever until ability ends!!!!!!

[@redcooker11]

_MINIBOSS_ Actually nugget master is right. If there’s fuel in the jet pack and you activate for the hunt you get unlimited fuel until the ability wears off. If there’s no fuel in the jet pack and you activate it you will not fly and the jet pack won’t refuel.

[@ESS83]

I've been looking forward to this

[@grevie-tan_8936]

Are you threatening me master Jedi

[@Ender-Logan]

It’s treason, then

[@NicoParasite]

My powers have doubled since the last time we met

[@tophatboi8018]

*lightsaber sounds*

[@erinmurphy7540]

I play a pretty good amount and found two of these super insightful: crouching before using the sentry to reduce recoil and using customized arcade mode to fulfill challenges. Great stuff. Thanks.

[@basang32]

As an officer with the officer's presence card equipped you can only heal the teammates that are within your circle. See, there's a circle on the minimap around your player arrow that actually shows the area within which your teammates will have faster health recharge.

[@NeonVars]

I got a funny tip for ya In hero vs villain during the cutscene showcasing the heroes, you can activate your emotes just as you would during gameplay. Depending on the map, you can hear villains louder than heroes and vice versa. On Naboo, you can hear villain emotes as if you're right next them lol.

[@eggsis2162]

Here are some bonus tips. 1. You can hold han solos sharpshooter ability instead of spamming. 2. If you press the emote buttons in a starfighter, you can looke behind you.

[@JustJedi19]

Many people don’t think so, but you actually ALWAYS learn something new in these videos. Thank you Elliot!

[@ryankopp251]

The vanguard, sentry and ee-4 all have short animations when they end which can be negated by pressing the same button to activate it. This allows you to get you primary weapon out faster and can help in the middle of a battle. Hope this was helpful

[@Mr.Yoda66]

wow, that intro gave me chills. Awesome!

[@ishaan6744]

*lightning goes through wall* The dark side is a pathway to powers some would consider...unnatural

[@cannibalraptor]

Aloha Snackbar And unfair

[@pingu9926]

Aloha Snackbar *many abilities

[@jennyP6423]

Lol

[@flashbacka1122]

But what about the droid attack on the wookies?

[@VictorPLopes]

Hey, if you are using the Sentries, the Vanguards, or the Infiltrations, you can cancel the weapon changing animation (Sentry to heavy blaster, Vanguard to rifle, abd EE-4 to Sniper) by pressing cancel (2, R1 + L1, RB + LB) once the animation starts. By doing this you get a massive advantage, and if you are on a 1v1 and you ability is ending you would probably loose because of that 1 second of inactivity.

[@cavanlyons9537]

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this.

[@awelon29]

One tip that I experienced that fire doesn't damage the FO Flametrooper. Its granade is exploding amd THEN set everything on fire. The explosion will damage him, but the fire itself won't. I used it a lot e.g. on Starkiller base phase 2 and 3, just throwed the granade into a group of enemy, wait for the granade to explode and then give them more fire. It can really help the team in some chokepoints.

[@kyjanek]

One tip: The ion charges quicker the closer you are to the objective. While most of the folks charge it around 100m to the MTT or the ATAT if you stand just near it takes 2 seconds so fires almost instantly

[@ПавелТролль]

Thank you very much!!! I tried right now officer presence and sitting at first before activating Sentry ... it all works perfectly!!!

[@marvelous_saint6887]

That jump trooper trick at 11:51 is very good. I remember I was on the rebel side on endor, and i had the objective I WAS BEING CHASED BY ALMOST ALL OF THE ENEMY TEAM, and i was on the top of the u-wing! I kept running in circles on the roof of the ship, and I was able to capture the point... and i died straight after but i won it for my team :3

[@redzxx88]

marvelous_saint what trick??

[@Breshi123]

Thanks so much Elliot, just bought the game for Christmas and didn't know any of these.

[@NickoSwimmer]

WOW! this video was EXTREMELY helpful for someone who's only been playing a month. Thank you very much for making it!

[@rogueraider3821]

Here’s one, instead of using Yoda’s heal ability and stop moving for a short time. You can activate the heal ability while dashing and it won’t make you stop, I figured that out yesterday

[@atsukana1704]

What I do instead of tediously switching shoulders is to use spots that utilize the preferred shoulder and I just play around that. When going around a big thing in the middle I always go to the side that allows me to see properly around it without having to constantly mess up my aim and stuff. Has worked since I tried 3rd person in the first place.

[@BOSTONBEAST31]

I have watched this video before and I will say this for everyone: PLAY THE FREAKING OBJECTIVE!

[@ericb5666]

You can preach that all day. They didn't make playing the objective valuable enough to entice morons to think about anything other than their eliminations and killstreaks.

[@theKonfusion]

Can you make a video about all the "unnused abilities" Like the flash pistol, the disruptor or the cooldown officer cry, etc? It can be cool to see when to use them optimally!

[@cannibalraptor]

Xavier .Garand I like the flash pistol, its good for when you get disrupted or you overheat your weapon. But the flash ability doesn’t seem to work

[@theKonfusion]

Yeah exactly, many cool star cards, but we always see the same.... I like to try them all!

[@tibboocelot9272]

Also, on the Death Star you can shoot the bridge controls and stop them from working.

[@TheRealJacob16]

if you use yodas health boost while you use the dash attack it will cancel the animation.

[@samueljoffy3879]

The number in the disabler box is how many enemies are in range of the disabler

[@eddanstee5725]

Also, Boba’s ‘For the Hunt’ ability does lock the jet pack for extra fuel, but does disable the flamethrower melee.

[@Konkyka]

After activating an objective, destroy your shield!!! Hope that reaches many people. Thanks, Elliot!

[@BlazingWookie]

This is awesome Elliot, thank you! I thought maybe 5 of these would be things I hadn’t heard of yet but sadly about 15 of these were unknown to me! Thanks a million!

[@shaythomas817]

So poe was just saving up battlepoints taking out all those turrents

[@pingu9926]

Shay Thomas He wanted to make sure that if he died he could respawn as his x-wing

[@TheMrKlump]

I had no idea that you were supposed to fly towards the triangle to juke missiles. Great video!

[@Darth-Revan]

Extra tips/tricks Use the officers shield around objectives that you have to hold down a button the whole time to capture. Aim up with a detonite charge to throw it further. More hero’s are made available after each phase in galactic assault so you can quickly get a hero if you’re having trouble getting one because the max number is in play. Exit infiltration and vanguard before their timers are over so you don’t have to watch the overheat animation. Jump before you use the right jet pack ability for the jump trooper, it will last longer.

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

Great video man, you are the best BF YT channel by far, and I am so glad atleast one BF YT channel doesn't post news vid out of stupid things for views such as axora, SWHQ, and the worst of them all, Quinn knight. This will pay off in the long run

[@C0zzzM1c]

This is a very true comment

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

It really won’t tbh. Clickbait is the way to go if you want views and likes the complaints don’t stop thousands of people from sucking up to and consistently watching the content that’s the sad truth. I think honesty means more to me and you but realistically that’s not how you get numbers.

[@n0nsticknick]

Tip: you can rack up a ton of points on Crait by playing as a First Order specialist dropping proximity mines on the surface. There's a high likelihood of the ski speeders passing over them, and they deal about 200 damage so it's almost always a kill.

[@elwoodhosking6223]

This was very good. I have been playing since the games release and I learned many tips that will help me out very much! Keep up the good work!

[@jolmner912]

Thanks so much for that dodge tip. I have always thougt that you should fly away like that arrow points. Now I will finally be able to dodge missiles. And thanks for that advanced controls tip too.

[@padawanmario4794]

Just as a small tip: you can control rey and han solos charge abilities by moving both sticks on consoles in the direction you want. But remember both left and right sticks have to be going in the same direction

[@TheEmperorsWatch1]

Great Video The shield is great when you shall shoot that ion disruption at the AtSt or Mtts u can start charging it up inside the shield and just step outside when u launch

[@jackgoebel7983]

PLEASE start making a list for another big tips and tricks video for later on so it’s ready to go whenever👍🏼

[@JHupp]

I didn't think i would learn something, but you proved me wrong. Great video!

[@justinwoolhiser5120]

I play third person except for specialist class. For long range it helps to keep your sights on and spot targets being in first person

[@YourEmperorStef]

One tip for the Starfighters is that if someone is pursuing you, you can do that awesome Poe Dameron epic-ass move (where he kills the TIE pursuers) by following the orange triangle (which is your pursuer). Also, with Kylo, you can use the Frenzy while in the air, just before he hits the ground; or when he just launches off the ground

[@BBoHK]

Excellent video, thank you! It will be great to have a map guide or tips & tricks on particular maps as well!

[@qware5293]

when you use Lukes force push you get pushed up in the air higher, use that to your advantage to get ontop of places like mazs castle on hvv

[@JJ_Adventures]

Q Ware really? Will this work with yoda too?

[@C0zzzM1c]

Thordan Sadly,Yoda can’t use unleash mid air

[@SomeGuy-is9sl]

I do agree that third person is beneficial for looking around corners. The only reason I use first person sometimes is because depending on the rifle weapon with a scope, in third person you zoom and aim looking down your gun, in first person with the same weapon you can use its scope for better aiming.

[@paulbaxter9680]

Fantastic video I have had this from Launch but there were some things I was not aware of! Cheers!!

[@battlevgaming9887]

loving your vidios keep it up i have been a sub since the trailer for dice’s battlefront

[@angbald]

Found this very helpful. Thanks. This is my first FPS since GoldenEye on N64.......things have changed. Lol.

[@newagenative3088]

[@joshiemike6690]

technically not an fps

[@The_Barcode_Lounge]

Just started playing this video will greatly improve my skill. Thank you very much :)

[@hetismats9210]

You can also dodge a fired missle with the afterburner feature.

[@damonmelgar9765]

Wooo!!! Been waiting for this for a while now!

[@teddytaylor3373]

the crouch is really helpful for the arcade level where you have a final stand on Yavin.

[@Poirotissmug]

A tip that I've never heard anyone talk about that I find useful is the bug with charge abiities. If you press the charge button again just as you stop the first charge the hero should do it again. Works with Chewwie and Han for sure and probably Rey too.

[@TrunksStrife]

Can skip pause animations for vader and yoda's middle ability: vader jump+middle then toss saber or can be standing + toss quickly when middle, and yoda just jump and active or dash ability and active. Leias alt are explosives some ppl forget while fighting blockers. Marksmen card works on all sentrys.

[@blasteroid1721]

Thanks man, even though i new half of the stuff in the video, it was good, and provided added details about them that I didn't know. I love your videos, you are my go to channel for star wars content!

[@Villanueva__A]

Tremendous video; I’ve been playing this game before it even came out and I didn’t even know 1/3 of the stuff

[@bosshtu6005]

thanks for the missle avoiding trick in starfighter team battlebecause i woeld always do flipa snd crash into stuff or get hit by the missle now I can a actually play well

[@Rymanofsteel]

This was a really good video. Please make a part 2

[@callyjo007]

Lots of stuff I didn't know. Great video!!

[@rwnnba8000]

Thanks Elliot im now getting so much better!

[@thomashelland-hansen4506]

Damn, didn't know the crate tips, i've been buying trooper crates all this time. Thanks!

[@atsukana1704]

With rey you want to cancel the charge in HvV with a hit so you can get extra attacks while they are knocked over. I can win even 3v1 fights this way with blocking while they attack so that they become vulnerable to more attacks. Honestly a great mechanic and I love how well I can destroy as rey.

[@michieldaneels1883]

Just got the vid for a week and already this video. Good start for me :)

[@markm7668]

Thank you for making this video, this has some great tips that will be a great help.

[@erichdutoit1817]

You can easily destroy the squad shield from the inside by shooting at the pod (ion shot helps) or by throwing any bomb inside it.

[@AlegreDiaVolver]

The most useful game tip video I've found to date :O

[@pout6038]

my favorite 2 are: you can actually aim the defence ability weapon (like the Y-wing ION cannon) by looking backwards and zooming. it's not as good as in the old games where you could really aim it, but you can lock onto enemies. the other one is luke can use a better jump by force pushing when in the air (you can even get out of the map almost anywhere on Pilio in the campaign with it, once the observatory defence bombs killed me because i took too long exploring above the map)

[@darthsoulhunter2565]

Thanks Elliot! I didn't knew Phasmas Zoom and some other things! :D

[@dxvid11]

LOVE the intro!

[@robertnicolas6716]

Learned a lot, thank you for these tips.

[@vadryps9811]

Tip: Darth Vader's Focused Rage also gives you unlimited stamina while blocking, so when you see a bunch of enemies that are not close enough for you to strike them down with your lightsaber, activate the ability and block all you want. Then when they stop shooting at you you can just finish them with lightsaber throw. Tip 2: If you activate Focused Rage while blocking, you will be able to deflect blaster bolts, but since Vader drops his lightsaber during the animation, the deflected bolts will be very innacurate. A lot of people don't know this and recommend you to not activate the ability in front of enemies because of the animation, but it's completely safe as long as you are blocking :)

[@treybailey6425]

You can change the colour of your crosshair to improve accuracy on some maps

[@Lemurowy0001]

simple tips, simple language and cool videos. I very like it!!

[@lukeh7440]

Ohhhhhhhhhh now I know to fly towards the orange arrow thank you! :)

[@scoutthetrooper]

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time

[@ElaxMovement]

Very Nice tip about then sentry on crouching before using it, I had no idea! Just a quick info: Concerning Officer's Presence, it's not as simple, you need to have your team mates inside your bubble (on your minimap) for them to benefit from it =) Nice vid!

[@ElaxMovement]

Oh yes it is ! Maps like Kamino,Takodana/Death Star you can get those 6k points in less than a minute lol

[@calebdaigle266]
