Patch notes posted for Battlefront’s Rogue One update! Highlights here!

The patch notes for today’s Rogue One update for Battlefront have finally arrived!

You can read the full patch notes for the update over on the official forums. However, I’ve selected a few highlights below:

Armor: A new armor system has been introduced. Increased armor decreases damage taken, where reduced armor increases damage taken.
[…]
Traits: Added a new way in which Traits are level up. It is point based now with different action granting more points. Playing the objective will grant more points than kills will do.
[…]
Death Star DLC: Added Cargo and Droid run to the death star interior levels
[…]
Walker Assault: Resolved a bug in which players could spawn multiple heroes by waiting in the hero selection screen.
[…]
Extraction & Sabotage: Resolved issues that could cause the player to get stuck in the hero selection screen.
[…]
Bacta effect: The bacta effect now applies to heroes. This applies to both Bacta Bomb and Medical Droid. When applied to heroes it adds an additional 10%, with 10% being the maximum amount.
[…]
Speeder Bikes: Resolved an issue which allowed speeder bikes to instantly kill heroes.
[…]
Diorama: Jyn Erso, Director Krennic, TIE Striker and U-wing have been added to the Diorama.
