Battlefront’s weapons designer Christian Johannesen confirmed a few changes coming to the game. Chief among these changes are tweaks to secondary fire against vehicles and heroes as well as a reworked cooling flush system. The Stinger Pistol will also be seeing a buff, as will the Disruption Charge Card. Johannesen also teased the upcoming Bo-Rifle, but didn’t reveal any details about the weapon.
5. EW article provided a potential clue for space combat in Battlefront.
Set above the planet Scarif, the Shield Gate protects Imperial installations on the planet. Details on this space shield were provided in an EW article earlier this week. With the promise of space battles in the Rogue One DLC, it seems likely that at least part of the expansion (and its mode, Infiltration) will focus on the Shield Gate.
