Star Wars Battlefront PS4 Beta: Everything You Need to Know
Ryan Clements's Avatar Posted by Ryan Clements on Oct 05, 2015 // Social Media Specialist
WeGÇÖre days away from white-knuckle battles, blaster showdowns, lightsaber duels, and sweeping conflicts across iconic Star Wars vistas. The Star Wars Battlefront Beta begins October 8th on PS4, welcoming prospective Rebels and Imperials from around the globe to sample BattlefrontGÇÖs massive multiplayer modes.
To prepare you for the upcoming Beta, we asked Battlefront Community Manager Mat Everett and our colleagues at EA and DICE to give us all the details on how to get in, get ready, and get playing. LetGÇÖs get started!
Star Wars Battlefront
The Basics
What is the Star Wars Battlefront Beta?
ItGÇÖs an opportunity for the team at DICE to test various aspects of Star Wars Battlefront and its online infrastructure. Because of this, you may experience interruptions to gameplay.
When is it?
The beta opens on October 8th to players all around the globe.
Do I need to register?
Nope, itGÇÖs open to all PS4 players. ThereGÇÖs no need to register so you can dive into the game and join the fight.
Do I need to be a PlayStation Plus member to play it?
Nope! ItGÇÖs open to all PS4 players with an internet connection.
Where can I find the Beta?
Head over to PlayStation Store.
How big will the download be?
Around 7GB.
Will there be maintenance windows or updates?

When will the Beta end?
October 12th. Exact times vary by region.
Star Wars BattlefrontStar Wars Battlefront
WhatGÇÖs In the Beta
What modes can I play once it starts?
The Beta includes three modes spread across three iconic planets, including:
Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the EmpireGÇÖs onslaught of AT-ATGÇÖs by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.
Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.
Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-STGÇÖs, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers, and more.
Is there a level cap?
You can advance to level five. Once you hit the level cap youGÇÖll no longer be able to progress to higher levels, though youGÇÖll still be able to unlock items.
Do my stats and progression carry over to the main game?
Stats and progression will not carry over to the final game.
How many players can play via split-screen on one PS4?
You can play two-player split-screen on PS4 in the Survival Mission on Tatooine.
What control schemes will be available?
Default controller layout, Southpaw, and Lefty options.
Can you play as a Hero unit during the Beta?
Of course! You can play as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in Walker Assault. You just need to locate the hero power-ups across the battlefront.

How much customization do you have over your character in the Beta?
You can customize their hands with weapons and gadgets! Specific character customization is not unlocked in the Beta, but youGÇÖll see a mix of options as characters will be randomly generated with male and female models.
What weapons do the Rebels have access to in each game type?
Rebel players will start off with the A280C blaster and can play to unlock the DH-17, DLT-19, and E-11 blasters. There are a few other weapons players can unlock via Star Cards, but we donGÇÖt want to spoil those. Keep in mind, the Beta only offers a taste of weapons, Star Cards, and features. We plan to reveal more weapons on our official site before November 17th.
What weapons does the Empire have access to in each game type?
With the limited selection of weapons in the Beta, the Imperial troops will be able to unlock the same weapons as the Rebels. The difference is they will start off with their own trusted E-11 blaster. DonGÇÖt worry, they wonGÇÖt miss too many shotsGǪ
What vehicles will I pilot during the Beta test?
Players will be able to pilot an X-wing, A-wing, TIE fighter, TIE Interceptor, AT-ST and a Snowspeeder. YouGÇÖll also be able to control the weapons system of the mighty AT-AT.
Star Wars Battlefront, Drop Zone
Tips and Tricks
What are some strategies for each mode?
Strategies can vary depending on how you like to play, but here are a few pointers that can give you an edge in your early matches.
Tips on Survival
Stick to the high ground and keep your distance from the waves of enemies GÇö allowing them to get close can spell certain death. Capture the Drop Pod before and during wave three and utilize your power-ups to dominate the Imperial forces. Also, not all waves are just your typical Stormtroopers, so gear up to take on those pesky AT-ST walkers.
Tips on Drop Zone
In this mode you have a lot of options in play style thanks to the layout on Sullust. Keeping your distance is great if youGÇÖre using the cycle rifle, but this limits your ability to play the objective.
Getting up high with a jetpack can play to your advantage against Stormtroopers or Rebels running into the deep valley paths, but note that you can easily become blaster fodder if youGÇÖre not aware of your surroundings. Finally, you can play like me and run GÇÿnGÇÖ gun and focus on clearing out the Drop Pod areas and holding the objective.
Tips on Walker Assault
This mode is by far the most complex in the Beta, with moving objectives, massive areas for battle, and keeping aerial assaults in mind GÇö youGÇÖre going to be challenged in every way possible.
From the Rebel perspective: Capture both uplinks and hold them as long as you can. The longer you secure these key objectives, the more Y-wing bombers you unlock. These are key to weakening the AT-AT walkers and allow you to do |

I thought dust was a lolbeta.... until I saw my brother playing SW Battlefront beta last night.... the game plays fairly smooth but the menus and server glitches.... I forgot what a real beta actually looks like.... 
The game has potential but honestly it just looks like another uninspired offering from DICE who are too busy pushing skin mods on the BF4 engine trying to recoop proftis for all the development costs for Frostbite.
Good but not good enough. Better than hardline though (not that that is saying much...)
This is the turning point, the rising of the tide.
No fear inside

So, SWBF ended up being all graphics.
It actually reminds me of the early Dust days, before we were given move base speed on movement, and weren't able to sprint top left or right, just straight.
The movement feels that clunky, it's very slow paced for a game with low Time To Kill.
And the trick to number 1 on leaderboards will always be turret/vehicle spam. |

Liking it more than I thought I would. The sounds and visuals are just perfect, but Heros feel pretty weak, and die far too quickly, and movement in TPS feels very jittery at times.
If it included Galactic Conquest it'd be a day one buy, but I'm still torn on it. |
