Did you get to participate in the Star Wars Battlefront beta? A fan managed to do something surprising and fun with it, which may be of interest to you even if you didn’t.
Practically all the secrets of the game have been leaked, since this fan managed to datamine details on the weapons, star cards, traits, heroes, and missions. Of course, this means if you move forward below, there might be nothing in the game to surprise and fill you with awe anymore. Not everything below has been confirmed or finalized but it’s highly likely most of it will make it.
It’s also important to remember that Star Wars Battlefront will have no story campaign, so really, these details are all you have to spoil at all. If you don’t mind this much spoilers, you can read through it at your leisure below.
Star Wars Battlefront launches on November 17(NA) and November 20 (EU) for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

RT-97C
-The RT-97C is a versatile heavy blaster, fitted with optics to allow use at long range.
A280
-A280 is a sturdy and powerful blaster rifle that has a high rate of fire, excellent damage and long range reach. It has been adopted by the Rebel Alliance as its main battle rifle.
SE-14C
-The SE-14C is a blaster pistol that fires 5-round bursts, making it ideal for close-quarter combat.
T-21
-The T-21 is a robust heavy blaster that delivers massive damage at long ranges. Its only drawback is its slow rate of fire and lack of optics.
CA-87
-The CA-87 is a retro-fitted Jawa blaster that is extremely deadly at short range, but near useless at medium and long range.
EE-3
-The EE-3 is an optically fitted Blaster Rifle capable of 3-round burst fire at long ranges.
DH-17
-The DH-17 is a fully automatic blaster pistol. Its high rate of fire, along with reasonable accuracy, make it an ideal weapon for medium-range combat.
DLT-19
-The DLT-19 is a heavy blaster with an excellent rate of fire that deals heavy damage at long range, capable of pinning down troops and taking out large groups of enemies.
DL-44
-The DL-44 is one of the most powerful blaster pistol in the galaxy. It delivers massive damage at close range, but overheats quickly.
E-11
-A powerful and accurate blaster rifle, the E-11 is ideal for use in all environments. It has been adopted as the standard weapon of the Imperial Forces.
A280C
-A280C is a sturdy and powerful blaster rifle that has a high rate of fire and excellent firepower. Modified from the A280 rifle, it was the favored weapon of Alliance commandos.
T-21B
-The T-21B is a more refined version of the T-21 model, with added scopes for zoom capability and a slower fire rate to ensure high precision at long range.
Star Cards
THERMAL DETONATOR
-The most popular and widely used grenade in the galaxy. It is easy to use and has deadly results.
EXPLOSIVE SHOT
-Temporarily supercharges your primary weapon to fire explosive bolts.
IMPACT GRENADE
-Having a smaller blast radius than a Thermal Detonator, the Impact Grenade explodes directly on contact with any object.
PULSE CANNON
-An incredibly powerful long-range rifle utilizing the frame assembly of a DLT-20A, the so-called "pulse cannon" has become the weapon of choice for many sharpshooters. The power of its shot is dependent on the charge-up time.
COOLING CELL
-When activated, vents heat from your main weapon and prevents further heat build-up for a short period of time.
-Cools down the primary weapon so that it does not overheat for X seconds
CYCLER RIFLE
-Designed to fire solid projectiles, this crude but reliable rifle is excellent at hitting targets at extreme ranges and penetrating energy shields.
-The Cycler Rifle is rumored to be a modification of the Czerka hunting rifle made by Tusken Raiders after they stole large shipments of the weapon from Imperial lockups.
THERMAL IMPLODER
-The Thermal Imploder compresses and heats the surrounding atmosphere, creating a vacuum that produces a violent implosion within a massive radius.
-Based upon the success of the Thermal Detonator, Loratus Manufacturing developed a substantially more powerful device known as the Thermal Imploder. Unfortunately, its users were often caught in the weapon's massive implosion radius.
CLUSTER SHOT
-Adds an explosive splash to the primary weapon
FLASH GRENADE
-A non-lethal explosive which creates a bright energy flash and loud noise to disorient opponents.
ION GRENADE
-An ion grenade that delivers massive damage against vehicles, shields, and droids.
Rocketpack *(?-out of place, may have been copy/holdover of jumppack)
(PLACEHOLDER) The Rocketpack allows you to traverse the environment.
BARRAGE
-The MPL-57 (Multi-Purpose Launcher) Barrage fires a volley of 3 grenades with a short delay fuse.
-During the Galactic War, Merr-Sonn sought to widen their market share with the MPL-57 (Multi-Purpose Launcher). The versatile nature of this weapon system and its capability of firing a wide range of ammunition made it popular on the battlefield.
ION TORPEDO
-A homing ion torpedo that is designed to deal heavy damage to vehicles and stationary weapons.
-A modification of the popular MPL-57 weapon system engineered to fire ion torpedoes. Extremely effective against vehicles and stationary weapons.
HOMING SHOT
-A homing rocket that locks on to enemy soldiers from afar.
SCOUT PISTOL
-A light side-arm effective at taking out opponents at close range. Quickly loses its capabilities at longer distances.
-PLACEHOLDER The Scout Pistol is the perfect close range wepaon to switch to when your primary weapon is in overheat.
SMOKE GRENADE
-Smoke grenades provide dense smoke that blocks visibility and lock-on weapons.
BOWCASTER
-Depending on the charge-up time, the Bowcaster fires 1 or more explosive bolts in a horizontal arc.
-As robust and formidable as its Wookiee creators, the Bowcaster is more powerful than an average blaster, making it a favorite among mercenaries and bounty hunters across the galaxy.
PERSONAL SHIELD
-The Personal Energy Shield provides protection from energy weapons. However, it offers no defense against kinetic weapons like Cycler Rifles and grenades.
-To minimize casualties, the Empire modified the Droideka Shield Technology for use by ground troops. Although it hindered the use of weapons, it proved popular and was adopted by the Rebel Alliance.
ION SHOT
-A modification which allows your primary weapon to fire ion charged bolts, making it very effective against shields, droids, and vehicles.
-With limited supplies of armaments, Rebel forces often made battlefield adaptions to their weapons. A notable case was the development of an insert which allowed normal blasters to fire ion charged bolts for short periods of time.
JUMP PACK
-Back mounted Jump Pack that utilizes burst thrusters to allow its user to jump over large distances. It is well suited for traversing obstructions and evading danger.
-Although the Jump Pack does not allow for sustained flight, it offers troops a reliable alternative to move quickly across the battlefield.
SMART ROCKET
-A rocket that can be dumb-fired at any target. Automatically switches to guided mode when it detects an enemy vehicle.
-The experimental SoroSuub Rocket was intelligent enough to be fired in dumb mode, then switch to guided mode mid-flight if a target of opportunity appeared.
ORBITAL STRIKE
-A lethal cannon barrage from planetary orbiting ships, covering a large area.
-Capital ships have often altered the tide of battle when called upon for orbital-to-ground fire missions. Boasting turbolasers and pinpoint accuracy, targets have little hope of withstanding their massive barrage.
SQUAD SHIELD
-Portable energy shield that protects users from blasters and other energy weapons.
-Following the Battle of Naboo, weapons manufactures scrambled to modify the Gungan shield technology into a man-portable device. The resulting Squad Shield is now used extensively by Combat Engineers.
CARD REFRESH

FOCUS FIRE
