Most notably, Boba Fett's missile won't lock on any more and his main weapon damage and and range has been reduced.
Heroes and special vehicles have also gotten a haircut. The lock-on distance has gone down by 10 meters and the projectile speed has been reduced, too.Ĭonsidering how many times I've been summarily executed by people running around with DL-44s and homing shots, I can't wait to load into my next game and get killed by some teenager packing something else. Lock-on time has now tripled to 1.5 seconds, up from the ridiculous 0.4. The homing shot, a Star Card perk that unlocks at rank 11 and has raised a lot of anger, also took it in the shorts. The overheating for the DL-44 has also been 'tweaked.' I wish that instead said 'tripled,' but I'll take it. The DL-44 isn't the fastest main weapon in the game, but it could crack off two shots before you even sighted the other guy, and that is often enough for a kill.
Its fire rate has gone down to 180 from 250. That's right, the DL-44, the best weapon in the game, has come back from the vet and it's a lot less aggressive now. Star Wars Battlefront's most recent update nerfed two key weapons in a big way, which will come as welcome news to the hordes of low-level cannon fodder propping up the K/D ratio of those who either bought the deluxe edition or hit level 25 long ago.
