Battlefront II Patch 1.1 Adds TIE Fighter Ship And Various Fixes

Patch 1.1 of Star Wars Battlefront II adds a lot of fresh update in the game like a new map, new hero ship, rebalancing hero stats, etc.

Star Wars Battlefront II has got a new update Patch 1.1 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The game has gathered a negative reputation due to its pay-to-win model, and after the outrage, EA took back the progression system paid model. Still, the game is getting support for its bugs and this new patch brings a lot of changes to add more stability. It is unclear whether incoming time there will be any move by EA to include the pay-to-win model in some form, but it looks if EA tried this there will again a set back for gamers.

Keeping things in mind EA has yet not released any info about monetizing the game, so it looks those who had bought the game are still happy with what they have. Talking about the update, this game will add a version of planet Crait built for Blast Mode, it will also add Iden Versio’s TIE Fighter as a playable hero ship in multiplayer mode. A special ability called as Afterburner is added to the ship that will offer a burst of speed, laser barrage, rapid-fire, high-damage barrage and Proton Torpedoes.

Players can take benefit from the suite of fresh Star Cards along with a new ship that will offer them more perks and bonuses. The patch also adds fixes on the certain class by re-balancing the stats and a few weapons are tweaked. You can read the full patch info below.
