Star Wars Battlefront 2 Endor Update Patch Notes Luke Skywalker

The first item of note in the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Endor Update Patch Notes is an update to Felucia: Heroes VS Villains is finally being enabled for this planet. An area surrounding the Village and the Sarlacc Pit will be available for players to fight in. This area also happens to contain the laser fence and the controls to turn it on and off.

ALSO: Battlefield 5 Halloween skins leaked by dataminer

Two new heroes will be making an appearance as noted in the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Endor Update patch notes. Yavin Ceremony Luke Skywalker and Yavin Ceremony Han Solo will be available to acquire via two different methods:

  • Yavin Ceremony Han Solo will be an Epic item and can be purchased for 40,000 in-game credits or 1,000 crystals.
  • Yavin Ceremony Luke can be acquired through an unnamed, special in-game event.
    • Once the event is over, Yavin Ceremony Luke will also be available in the store for 40,000 in-game credits or 1,000 crystals.

Of course, the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Endor Update patch notes also brings with it the return of Ewok Hunt. A revamped Endor map kicks off when Ewoks attack unsuspecting Stormtroopers. Every time a Stormtrooper is defeated, he’ll respawn as an Ewok. The furry little foot soldiers continue to multiply in this fashion until the Stormtroopers have been completely eliminated or they manage to escape. Play your cards right, and your team just might be able to survive until their evacuation arrives.

Lastly for the highlights in the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Endor Update patch notes, co-op is expanding. Now, players will be able to defend on each of the planets. You’ll net a victory if you can manage to stop the attackers from capturing all of your command posts. Players can select which version of co-op to play when they pick the mode in the game’s menu.

That’s not all there is in the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Endor Update patch notes; read on for the full list.
