Star Wars Battlefront II update will fix issues with BB-8 and BB-9E

DICE has announced plans to release a new update for Star Wars Battlefront II tomorrow, February 12th.

The upcoming update aims to address a number of issues that have surfaced following the release of last week’s BB-8 update.

To start with, issues with new characters BB-8 and BB-9E have been fixed, including stamina draining quickly when spamming both fire keys, BB-8’s Spinner Star Card granting 20 seconds of cooldown reduction, instead of 10, and no audio playing for both characters when inspecting voice lines. In addition, an issue has been fixed that caused the wrong audio to play when BB-8 and BB-9E are interrupted.

Other changes include VFX and lighting improvements for the new capital ships, a reduction in the heat cost of the Heavy Trooper’s Sentry abilities, and reduced damage reduction for Darth Vader when using Choke.

Read the full patch notes below:

• Fixed an issue where the boarding cinematic would be visible when completing the final objective on any of the Capital Ships on Jakku.
• Fixed an issue that would allow the First Order Jet Trooper to dash more than 2 times.
