Classes and Special Characters Guide: SW Battlefront 2

In Star Wars Battlefront 2, you can select between four different classes, Assault, Heavy, Specialist, and Officer, that can offer you special advantages in combat. Each era has its own design in the classes, but the skills remain the same. Separatist, Empire, Rebel Alliance, Republic, Resistance or First Order - you can always pick between these four classes without the use of combat points:

Assault: This class is well-balanced. With its blaster rifle, you are quick and take large group of enemies at medium and near range. The attack starts with these abilities: Thermal Detonator, Vanguard and Scan Dart.

Heavy: This class is not the fastest one on the field, but a heavy soldier can take a lot. With his laser machine gun (heavy blaster) he is a dangerous melee opponent. The skills of the heavy class are Impact Grenade, Sentry and Combat Shield.

Specialist: Especially as a sniper, this unit is well usable. The specialist can also perform well camouflaged stealth attacks with long range blaster. This class can support your squad with the skills of the specialist: Shock Grenade, Infiltration and Thermal Binoculars.

Officer: You should not get too involved in the battle with the officer, since he can take little damage. But he can support your squad with his fast firing pistol, increase the life energy of the cronies and reduce the cooldowns of the skills. An officer uses Flash Grenade, Battle Command, Blaster Turret.

To bring even more variety in a squad, star cards should be used, on the one hand support skills or boost new skills. This will improve your abilities of the selected class and increase your chances of collecting many battle points to battle with in the next spawn with a special unit.
