EA is currently rolling out Star Wars Battlefront II patch 2.0 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and we’ve got the full release notes.

　　As covered earlier, the 2.0 update offers big changes to the game’s multiplayer progression system alongside the return of gas planet Bespin as location from Star Wars Battlefront I. In addition, all currently available Heroes and Hero Ships have been enabled for all players. The patch also unlocks all Star Cards and Weapons in Arcade at Epic card level.

　　Check out the full release notes below:

　　Heroes and Villains Balancing:

　　Iden Versio

　　Iden was in need of a power increase so we decided to focus a lot on her for this Update while we watch the results of the previous Update’s impact on other Heroes.

　　GENERAL

　　Increased Base health from 550 to 650

　　Fixed an issue where the Secondary Fire module didn't appear on Iden's TL-50

　　DROID SHIELD

　　We made a small improvement to the Droid Shield as we felt it's wasn’t active long enough. This tweak should make it very viable.

　　Increased active time from 10 to 12 seconds

　　PULSE CANNON

　　Iden’s Pulse Cannon has been slightly re-worked for this Update. We improved it a bit for now but we would like to re-work this ability further in the future. It now fires faster so to compensate we reduced its base damage. The zoomed-in, long range damage should feel rewarding and we wanted to push the weapon’s use in that direction. As a result we’ve reduced the explosive damage but increased the weapon’s accuracy to make it more of a skill weapon. Additionally, we’ve gone back to an earlier design idea where we wanted Iden to more freely swap between the TL-50 and the Pulse Cannon – this will make Iden feel a bit more versatile.

　　Reduced the recharge time from 5 to 1 secondAdded a zoomed-in damage increase multiplier of 80% (the explosive damage is not multiplied by this change)Decreased the time to full power from 1.25 to 0.6 secondsDecreased the non-zoom dispersion from 2 to 0.2 degrees (zoom dispersion is 0)Reduced the recoil of the weaponReduced the start damage from 100 to 40Reduced the end damage from 150 to 100Reduced the start damage distance from 125 to 30 metersReduced the end damage distance from 150 to 50 metersReduced the explosive damage from 80 to 20HOT SWAP – Star Card

　　This Star card has been changed to give health to Iden when her DROID STUN hits enemies, and even more when it hits Heroes. With the Pulse Cannon rework, the old version became obsolete. We know that players want more Hero Star Cards that regain health and we will investigate adding more, but this felt like it was a good fit for Iden's Droid. We'll monitor the balance of this Star Card until the next Update.

　　Boba Fett

　　JETPACK

　　We've heard the comparison to an F-15 and also heard that the maneuverability of Boba Fett’s jetpack is very well liked. With this tweak the speed is slightly reduced, but he should still feel fast and powerful when played.

　　Reduced the forward thrust speed of Boba's Jetpack slightly

　　HEALTH

　　While reducing Boba Fett's jetpack forward speed, we also wanted to revisit his health as it's the lowest currently and doesn't feel correct for a hero – even a flying one.

　　Increased Base Health from 500 to 550

　　Leia Organa

　　Leia’s hair has been updated to match her outfit

　　We're happy with Leia's current gameplay but will look at her SQUAD SHIELD for Heroes vs. Villains in the future. She is a very approachable character for new players. That said we'd like to push her more into a control-the-battle style of gameplay. We decided to bump up her health regeneration to keep her base health on the same level as other blaster-wielding Heroes as well as give her more of a chance to keep in the fight.

　　Increased maximum health regeneration for Leia from 150 to 200

　　Decreased health regeneration delay from 5 to 4.5 seconds

　　Han Solo

　　Han is hard to master and him having at low health without much defensive abilities made him quite vulnerable.

　　Increased base health from 600 to 650

　　Fixed an issue where Han Solo's DETONITE CHARGE didn't explode mid-air

　　Darth Vader

　　Fixed an issue where Darth Vader's PUNISHING GRIP Star Card wasn't correctly applied.

　　Fixed an issue where Darth Vader's SABER THROW ability could go through a wall on Takodana

　　Emperor Palpatine

　　Fixed an issue where Palpatine’s LIGHTNING ABSORBTION Star Card didn't grant the correct amount of health after being used

　　Chewbacca

　　STUN GRENADES can no longer be activated while other abilities are activating

　　Rey

　　While using INSIGHT, a circle shouldn't appear under Rey for other players when activated

　　Yoda

　　The area of effect should now display properly when the UNLEASH ability is triggered

　　Fixed an issue where Yoda didn't break out of immobilizing abilities when using PRESENCE

　　Finn

　　Fixed an issue where the UI marker for Finn's DEADEYE ability would persist after the ability had ended

　　Fixed an issue where weathering effects weren't working on Finn

　　Lando Calrissian

　　Fixed an issue where players were unable to spawn as Lando Calrissian if Han Solo was being played

　　Classes, Special Units, & Vehicles:

　　Assault

　　Fixed an issue where weapon cooling was not working correctly for weapon mods

　　Officer

　　GENERAL

　　Fixed an issue where Increased Cooling provided higher cooling reduction than intended

　　Tweaked description of Homing Shot to clarify that it can fire multiple rockets, rather than just one

　　Fixed an issue where weapon cooling was not working correctly for weapon mods

　　Default Pistol

　　Reduced end damage from 20 to 17

　　SE-44C

　　Reduced amount of shots that can be fired before overheating from 25 to 17

　　Reduced how many shots can be fired before overheating when Increased Cooling mod is equipped from 49 to 25

　　Reduced end damage distance from 40 to 30 meters

　　OFFICER’S PRESENCE

　　Flattened the points given to an Officer with OFFICER’S PRESENCE, regardless if the aura affects 1 or 19 allies.

　　Point payoff with OFFICER’S PRESENCE was stacking, meaning an Officer standing in a choke point can farm thousands of Battlepoints without effort. To fix this, we've removed this stacking rule.

　　TURRET

　　The Turret now spots enemies when it acquires them and primes to fire. The spotted enemy is only visible to the officer who owns the turret.

　　Specialist

　　THERMAL BINOCULARS

　　Enabled spotting logic, IMPROVED THERMAL BINOCULARS increase the time an enemy is spotted

　　Added 25 point scoring event per enemy spotted

　　GENERAL

　　Fixed an issue where weapon cooling was not working correctly for weapon mods

　　Heavy

　　Fixed an issue where it was possible to use the SENTRY ability in first person

　　Fixed an issue where the sound could get stuck on the SENTRY ability

　　Fixed an issue where weapon cooling was not working correctly for weapon mods

　　Aerials

　　Fixed an issue where the IMPROVED ROCKET LAUNCHER Star Card didn't reduce recharge as intended

　　Fixed an animation issue that caused Aerials to incorrectly roll when dashing

　　We've updated the description of each of the Aerial units to more clearly differentiate them from each other. Jump Trooper --> Imperial Jump Trooper & First Order Jump Trooper. Rocket Jumper --> Rebel Rocket Jumper & Resistance Rocket Jumper

　　Enforcers

　　Fixed an issue where the Death Trooper wouldn't see a white outline on enemies that have been affected by their SONIC IMPLODER’s blinding effect

　　Fixed issue where the explosion radius of the SONIC IMPLODER wasn't improved by the EXPLOSIVE EXPERT Star Card

　　AT-ST
