Battlefront hero fixes coming: Stun locks, Vader multitasking & more!
Not much Battlefront news has surfaced recently. However, thanks to the game’s hero designer Guillaume Mroz, we have a bit better idea for what’s coming for heroes.
To start, Mroz mentioned that he is “starting to see the light” for the Rogue One DLC:
Sorry for the no update everyone. Have been deep into Scarif and am starting to see the light. I will try to read messages and answers asap

It certainly sounds like the heroes for Battlefront’s final expansion (Jyn Erso and Director Krennic) are close to being finished. This is certainly great news!
Next, Mroz confirmed that several fixes are in testing:
- Infinite hero abilities. (Here is an example of this glitch; it’s also possible for Lando’s Power Blast.)
- Lando and Bossk glitches. Likely refers to Lando’s powerful Power Blast and Bossk’s Predatory Instincts automatically toggling off. Mroz previously commented on both issues.
- SoroSuub Refinery bug in Extraction. Mroz discussed this particular topic the other day, and it’s nice to know that it is indeed being fixed.
Additionally, Mroz is working on making stun locks “less of an issue” for heroes. This is good to hear as stun locks temporarily lock up a hero when they’ve been attacked by a lightsaber. Stun locks in their current form make 1v1 battles clunky and a pain.
Finally, Mroz teased:
Darth Vader learned a new move: multitasking

My guess is that this pertains to Vader being able to multitask while choking someone. A forum user suggested this particular fix (roughly the eighth bullet point from the bottom) a few weeks back.
Definitely good to see some communication from those working on Battlefront! While a patch may not be due out until the Rogue One DLC, it looks like a fair number of things will be fixed when the game is updated.
