Clone Commandos Are Joining The Battlefront

By Austin Wilson | @BFrontBroadcast

The Clone Commando is coming to Star Wars Battlefront 2!

The Clone Commando was introduced to the Star Wars universe through the Game Star Wars: Republic Commandos, where you play as Boss, the leader of Delta Squad. The game was insanely popular after its launch in 2005 and still is over a decade later. The game has a 9/10 review score on Steam and a 8.8/10 review score on IGN.

The character bio reads "as one of the most elite forces within the Grand Army of the Republic, the Clone Commandos would come to be respected by allies and feared by enemies. With conflict raging across the galaxy, the Republic organized the Commandos into squads who quickly became a pivotal resource in the ongoing war effort against the Separatists."

The Commando is armed with the DC-17m blaster rifle, which carries an anti-armor attachment that fires up to three small grenades that are highly effective against vehicles and shields.

The Commando's Repulsor Blast discharges a short-range shockwave that disorients enemies for a short period of time.

The Commando's Battle Focus creates a a damage protection aura around the Commando and nearby allies. Additionally, any damage the Commando deals to enemies replenishes his base health.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 New Battle Droid Skins Are Pretty Hot

Lately in Star Wars Battlefront 2, we've been getting a TON of new skins for the Republic Clone Troopers and it's been pretty dull playing for the separatists if you don't get to play as a droideka, Count Dooku, or General Grievous. Well that's about to change because the B1 Battle Droids are getting awesome new skins!

The red Geonosis skin will be available for free and additional skins will be available for purchase through credits earned in-game or through crystals from the games microtransaction system that was removed prior to the games launch but was reinstated later on.

B1 Pilot

Bridge crews serving aboard the Separatist flagships consist of battle droids responsible for managing fleet's autonomous capital ships and starfighters.

B1 Jungle

When fighting in jungles and dense forest environments, some tacticians apply camouflage to their detachments of battle droids in order to minimize the chances of detection.

B1 Training

Inside the secret cloning facilities on Kamino, cadets spar against droids in simulated battle scenarios.

Each apperance will be available for all B1 classes: Assault, Heavy, Officer, and Specialist.

The B1 Battle Droid skins will arrive later this month on August 28th
