Battlefront 2: Assault Class Guide Battlefront 2 guide, tips

Last update: 28 May 2020

Assaults are the most numerous units on a battlefield. The reasons for that are its versatility and high effectiveness in fights against other classes. Unlocked weapons can slightly change their specialization: A208 rifle is good for a medium distance and CR-2 is great for eliminating enemies in narrow corridors. The default weapon can have a scope (without zooming in) or not - this depends on a faction.

Class description

Assault - Battlefront 2: Assault Class Guide - Classes and Weapons - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Assault

Specialty: Attack

Mobility: High

Team roles: Direct attack, flanking

Durability: Moderate (150 health points)

Abilities:

  1. Thermal Detonator: A basic grenade with large blast radius that deals a lot of damage, has a timed fuse (5 seconds). Works great in rooms.
  2. Vanguard: Equip a short-range weapon, that can't overheat, for a brief moment (a repeater shotgun). Faster sprint. Killed enemies extend the ability's time. Use it a lot, mainly in rooms or after overheating your main weapon. Duration of the ability and recharge: 30 seconds. Each shot shortens this time by 3 seconds.
  3. Scan Dart: Shoot a dart that can stick to surfaces. It informs you and your allies about possible enemies around it (this lasts for about a half a minute). The dart can also mark enemies' exact positions on a map. Use it frequently.
