Drop Zone | Game modes Star Wars: Battlefront Guide

Description of the mode

"Drop zone" is a highly dynamic mode, where only infantry fights. In this mode, there are two squads of eight.

"Drop zone" is very dynamic action

At the beginning of the game, both of the teams are deployed in random spots at the edges of the map. Also, the pod is deployed at random. The objective of both teams is to reach the pod and prepare it for evacuation. In reality, this requires one player that reaches the pod and interacts with it, in order to activate it.. The evacuation occurs after 30 seconds, which is the time during which you need to defend it from the opponents. However, if the opposing team gets to the pod, they deactivate it in the same way as you activated it before and as a result, they may score a point. At that point, the roles switch and the clock resets.

A Drop zone

The point is awarded to a team after they activate the pod and will defend it effectively, for the successive 30 seconds. The first team to score 5 points, or have more after 10 minutes, wins the match.

In this mode, after the death, the player can respawn in a random spot at the edge of the map, or on his ally.

This icon represents the pod. It appears directly above the pod and on the minimap - in the bottom-left corner. If it is white, this means that the pod is neutral, if blue - your team needs to defend it now. If the icon is red this means that it is your team's turn to attack.

The boundary around the icon represents time remaining until the evacuation of the pod.
