It’s a direct response to the quick boil-over seen in the Battlefront community after the game’s 10-hour preview became available on EA Access and Origin Access on Thursday. “It's a big change, and it’s one we can make quickly.” “Based on what we’ve seen in the trial, this amount will make earning these heroes an achievement, but one that will be accessible for all players,” said EA DICE’s John Wasilczyk. Originally, Vader and Luke were 60,000 credits, Palpatine, Leia and Chewbacca 20,000 credits, and Iden 20,000 credits. An update coming today reduces Vader and Skywalker’s unlock costs to 15,000 credits, the in-game currency that cannot be bought for real money (though it can be indirectly acquired more on that in a second).Įmperor Palpatine, Leia Organa and Chewbacca are 10,000 credits to unlock, and Iden Versio, the all-new hero of Battlefront 2’s single-player campaign, is 5,000 credits. The news came in a blog post on the Battlefront site this afternoon. Star Wars Battlefront 2’s heavy costs for unlocking prime playable heroes are getting a big haircut - by 75 percent - following a weekend in which players deduced it would take 40 hours of multiplayer gameplay alone to get to Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.
