With these abilities, BB-9E has more of a support role.īoth BB-8 and BB-9E also have their own selection of passive abilities and Star Cards, just like the rest of Star Wars Battlefront II's roster of heroes and villains. BB-9E shares the Shock Prod ability with BB-8, but has a Smoke Screen and a Charge Up mode that reduces blaster heat and ability charge times for nearby allies. EA and DICE have released a new patch for Star Wars Battlefront II today, finally adding BB-8 and his evil First Order counterpart BB-9E as new Heroes, alongside the return of the Scarif map that was originally released as free DLC for the previous Star Wars Battlefront to tie in with the release of Rogue One.īB-8 will fulfil an offensive character role (or should that be roll?) with Rolling Charge and Shock Prod abilities, as well as a Cable Spin that whips enemies in the vicinity, and a Resistance Backing ability that reveals enemies on the mini-map while corrupting their radars.
