The new Hero looks are smoking Hoth.
Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s latest patch is live and brings some big changes, with a new game mode, arcade maps, and three new Hero appearances for a limited time.
The full patch notes were posted today and detail the new features as well as bug fixes, and hero and villain balances.
Jetpack Cargo is the new mode that will have players slip on a jetpack and gear up with a rocket launcher for the entire round. The mode is only available for a limited time, as are the new Hero looks, which are Hoth skins for Luke, Leia, and Han Solo. Hero looks are unlocked by completing in-game challenges “that will be available over time.”
Meanwhile, Custom Arcade gets a handful of new maps with the addition of Kashyyyk, Hoth, Endor, Crait, Jakku, and Death Star II. The AI has had “substantial improvements” to make Arcade a more “engaging” experience.
The icing on the cake is Trooper emotes, with all players getting two default emotes for their Troopers rather than waiting to unlock them.
Clone Wars DLC and character customisation are rumoured to be on the way, but for now, you can access the new content by downloading update 1.2.
