It has been over three years since the less than stellar launch of Star Wars Battlefront II in 2017. A lot of changes have been made by Dice to improve the gaming experience and balance aspects of the gameplay. After mixed reviews at launch and a handful of updates, Battlefront II is in a very good state in year three.
Updated April 1, 2021 by Payton Lott: Battlefront II did go through a rough patch a few months ago, but the pesky bugs that have since been addressed. New and recurring players should be using the below twelve guns paired with the appropriate star cards, as they are the best weapons to use in 2021. Weapon stats, as well as the two best attachments, are listed below each section.
12 EL-16HFE Assault
Players that like to challenge opponents from long-range should use the EL-16HFE. The blaster is not nearly as versatile as some of the other options, but it is extremely effective from long distances. The EL-16HFE is unbeatable at range if players can hit their shots.
Unlike the other assault blasters below, the EL-16HEF is not nearly as user friendly, and players will have to learn to manage the gun’s difficult to control recoil. Players should use the reduced recoil and reduced range attachments for the best class setup.
- Damage: 49-30
- Rate of Fire: 200 RPM
- Stock
- Improved range
11 *DC-15LE
The DC-15LE is a reliable and consistent blaster, but it will be outclassed by the the remaining blasters in this list. It needs to be equipped with the reduced recoil attachment, as it will kick more than most blasters. The improved zoom reticle is still bugged, which pushes the weapon out of the top 10.
- Damage: 16-10
- Rate of Fire: 700 RPM
- Explosive shot
- Reduced recoil
10 *Blurrg-1120
Dice have nerfed the Bluurg so many times it is hard to keep count. However, it is still a top ten blaster in 2021. The burst weapon will still perform well at close range if gamers equip the improved burst attachment. Still, the SE-44c is better in every conceivable way. The Blurrg is a fun weapon to use, but the range nerfs have hampered its potential.
- Damage: 30-12
- Rate of Fire: 130 BPM
- Improved burst
- Explosive Shot
9 IQA-11 Specialist
While not as impressive as some other specialist weapons, the IQA can down nearly all opponents with one head and one body shot. Heavy enemies will take an additional shot to down, and for that reason, there are better options in the specialist class. The IQA is still a viable weapon, and players can have success using the weapon on the battlefront.
- Damage: 67
- Rate of Fire: 130 RPM
- Bolt Speed
- Improved Cooling
8 S-5 Officer
The S-5 is the best option for players that want to fight opponents from a distance while using the officer class. This gun is extremely effective at medium and longer ranges but loses to many blasters up close.
The S-5 is great to use on maps with long sightlines, and players will be surprised by how effective it can be. Users have a number of preferable options for classes, and the specialist weapons are better suited for long-range playstyles.
- Damage: 67-45
- Rate of Fire: 140 RPM
- Ion Shot
- Reduced recoil
7 T-21 Heavy
Battlefront II players should use the T-21 in medium to long-range situations. The blaster has a slow fire rate, moderate recoil, and extremely high damage. Much like the EL-16, players will be punished for a missed shot due to the fire rate.
People comfortable with the recoil can dominate from longer ranges with the T-21. New players should grind the weapon in co-op to get a feel for the recoil before hopping into multiplayer matches.
- Damage: 50-34
- Rate of fire: 180 RPM
- No attachments for maximum damage and faster cooldown
6 A280-CFE Specialist
Players that want to play aggressively as a specialist should use the A280 with the burst mode and dual zoom. The gun operates as a hybrid between the specialist snipers and assault blasters. Players can push enemy teams while having the option to hit long-range snipes.
New players should make sure to unlock burst mode before expecting the gun to dominate, as the stock gun is not competitive. The A280-CFE is the best gun to use at short to medium range in the specialist class.
- Damage: 33-25
- Rate of Fire: 320 RPM
- Burst mod
- Ion shot
5 CR-2 Assault
For close-range engagements, the CR-2 is the best assault blaster in the game. On maps where close range encounters are frequent, the CR-2 will shine against opponents. At medium to long-range, however, the CR-2 will be ineffective.
Players should equip the reduced recoil and ion shot to help with point-blank gunfights. The CR-2 is the only SMG in the assault class and a fun weapon to use for those people who play at a faster pace.
- Damage: 16-8
- Rate of Fire: 900
- Reduced recoil
- Ion Shot
4 SE-44c Officer
The most versatile blaster in the officer class is the SE-44c. Players should run the weapon with rapid-fire and improved cooling. The blaster outperforms all of the other pistols in every category except for damage range.
Unless players are leveling up to get the SE, they should be using it over the other officer blasters in the game. The SE-44c is the best officer weapon and can be used in seemingly any situation.
- Damage: 31-15
- Rate of Fire: 300 RPM
- Improved Cooling
- Rapid Fire
3 NT-242 Specialist
The top sniper in the specialist category is the NT-242 sniper. Players that want to use the gun while aiming down the scope should equip the dual zoom and improved cooling attachments. For objective players, the disruptor shot is more effective than the dual zoom.
The NT-242 is the only weapon in the game that is a one-shot headshot regardless of which class an enemy is using. Players that love to snipe will gravitate toward the NT-242 over the other specialist options. The weapon is also viable at medium ranges with the disruptor shot, but it will take two headshots to kill an enemy player.
- Damage: 106
- Rate of Fire: 80 RPM
- Disruptor Shot
- Improved Cooling
2 TL-50 Heavy
The TL-50 is unstoppable in close-range fights and can be used up to medium ranges. Players should use improved cooling and reduced spread for better accuracy. With the TL-50 and heavy class health, players will be dominant in close-quarters fights. The weapon will be less effective the farther away enemies are and the weapon optimized for maps that have small hallways and corridors.
The TL-50 is one of the best weapons in the game, and players will be impressed with how impressive it is against all enemies. The heavy weapon is one of the most fun weapons to use in the game as well, and players need to give it a try.
- Damage: 20-10
- Rate of Fire: 700 RPM
- Reduced spread
- Improved Cooling
1 A280 Assault
The A280 is the most versatile blaster in the game. The gun has competitive damage values at nearly every range. The only downside to using the A280 is that it does have a damage drop off at extremely long ranges. However, there are very few sightlines in Battlefront II that are long enough for users to have an issue with the damage range.
Players should equip improved cooling and improved range so they can fire the blaster longer and farther. The A280 is effective in every mode and almost every situation players encounter. The blaster has amazing damage values and is easy to use for beginners.
- Damage: 33-19, x3 with burst
- Rate of Fire: 600 RPM or 110 BPM
- Improved Cooling
- Improved Range
