Star Wars Battlefront Pre-release Boxart Release Date: 2015 Developer: DICE Publisher: EA Series: Star Wars Platforms: PC Xbox One Playstation 4 Genre: First-Person Shooter, Third-Person Shooter

Star Wars Battlefront is a first- and third-person action shooter game set in the original trilogy of the Star Wars Universe, released in November 2015. It is a reboot of the original Star Wars: Battlefront series originally created by Pandemic Studios and LucasArts in 2004, and is now developed by EA DICE, the studio behind the Battlefield series of games. Battlefront also runs on the third installment of the proprietary Frostbite engine that Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 use. A sequel to the 2015 Battlefront is planned for release in November 2017.

Many of the game's blasters are almost-identical virtual replicas of the prop weapons used in the films of the original trilogy, and a few of the new weapons created by DICE appear to have been based off of real-world small arms.

The following weapons appear in the video game Star Wars Battlefront:

Blaster Pistols

BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol (Sterling L2A3)

The DH-17 pistol is one of the first weapons players can unlock, available at rank 3. It costs 550 credits, and functions as a rapid-firing machine pistol, ideal for close-quarters combat. The in-game model has the Sterling trigger assembly from The Empire Strikes Back prop but also lacks the magazine and magwell, as the seen on the early rubber stunt props in A New Hope. The DH-17 is also the blaster of choice for the Sullustan rebel hero Nien Numb, who is available as part of the Outer Rim DLC.

BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol (Mauser C96)

The DL-44 is the final base game weapon, unlocked at level 25 for 2,500 credits. It boasts incredible damage, rivaling the T-21 heavy blaster, but can only fire nine shots before overheating and it has a sharp damage drop off at range. Of course, it is the sidearm of the Han Solo in-game, a Hero for the Rebel faction.

A rare easter egg draw animation has the character comically twirl the blaster around their trigger finger when drawing it; this is only visible in first-person and the animation has a generally very low chance of happening, compounded by the fact that the DL-44 is either only ever drawn when the player spawns or if they switch between their primary blaster and a Star Card weapon. This animation is also present in Battlefield 1, but with the Lancaster Howdah pistol rather than the Mauser C96.

BlasTech SE-14C Blaster Pistol (Rexim-Favor Mk5)

Dr Evazon/Ponda Boba's infamous sidearm is also present in the game, made available at rank 14 and costs 2,500 credits. It fires in rather ridiculous five-shot 800 RPM bursts, and is a somewhat more precision-oriented close range pistol compared to the DH-17.

Should I continue with this?

I'm gonna work on the descriptions and captions, but I'd like to make sure whether or not if Battlefront is suitable for a page here.--AgentGumby (talk) 13:27, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

The way this is set up, and the fact that these guns clearly are based on real firearms, maybe so? But I think instead of having the real name of the weapon in parenthesis switch them so that the real gun is listed and the fictional name in parenthesis.-SeptemberJack (talk) 13:35, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

I've been working on a page for this game for a while, I've just been too busy lately to finish it. I've already written descriptions for every weapon both in the main game and in the dlc and found as many of the real world counterparts tgat I could. I have it all saved on a Google doc, already properly spaced and formatted, it just needs to be copy and paste over. The only thing really left to do is add the final screencaps. I have most of the first images for the weapons already up, but no in-game caps yet.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 14:02, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Or if you wanted I could finish up for you if you don't wanna finish yourself. Here's what I've gotten done so far

Star Wars Battlefront (2015) Promotional Artwork Release Date: November 17, 2015 Developer: Dice Publisher: Electronic Arts Series: Star Wars Battlefront Platforms: PC Playstation 4 XBOX One Genre: First-Person Shooter Third-Person Shooter

Star Wars Battlefront is a first-person shooter/third-person shooter developed by Swedish game developer DICE and published by Electronic Arts. Set during the Galactic Civil War of Star Wars: The Original Trilogy, You play as either a soldier in The Rebel Alliance or an Imperial Stormtrooper in a variety of gamemodes taking you from the deserts of Tatooine to bowels of the Death Star as both a foot soldier and starship pilot.

The following weapons appear in the video game Star Wars Battlefront:

Overview

The game is played from either a first or third person perspective, with the player being able to switch between either on command whether they are on the ground or in a starship. This game does not feature the class system popular in DICE's Battlefield Series, rather having you make "hands" with star cards. Star cards represent different secondary weapons, grenades, power-ups, droids, and much more. During a game, the player is free to choose, and switch between, whichever weapons they have acquired up to that point at the beginning of the match and during respawns. Aside from Stormtroopers and Rebel Soldiers, the player also has a chance to play as a variety of Heros and Villains, ranging from Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia to Darth Vader and Boba Fett and many other in between. Unlike when playing as a standard character, as heroes or villains you are locked in third-person mode. Also available are one-use "Power-ups" that give you a special item like a lock-on rocket launcher or the ability to fly a starship. Finally, each "hand" can be given a "trait". "Traits" provide you with bonuses for doing well in a match, giving you bonuses like power-ups for kills or damage resistance. Weapons in this gae do not feature iron-sights, but still have the ability to zoom in.

Primary Weapons

Blasters are the primary weapons of this game. They come in many different variants from pistols to heavy blaster rifles. All have unlimited ammo but they can overheat, leading to a cooldown period.

Secondary Weapons

These are represented in-game by "star cards", a 3 card loadout the player makes that act as their secondary weapons/items. Anytime a star card is used, there is a cooldown time until it is next available. Unlocked the same way as the primary weapons.

Scout Pistol

Small blaster pistol. Fires two shots in rapid succession. At close range, landing both shots at center-mass is enough to kill a target. Not seemingly based on any real-world firearm.

Pulse Cannon (Sturmgewehr 44)

Heavy rifle. One of the two "sniper" rifles in the base game. Has to be charged to fire, and the longer it is charged the more powerful it hits. Hitting a target on a full charge guarantees a kill at any range. After it reaches max charge, there is only a brief time before it fires on its own, however the charge can be canceled by using melee and releasing the trigger. Based off the Sturmgewehr 44.

Cycler Rifle

Heavy rifle. The second "sniper" rifle in the base game. At very close range, it is an insta-kil with a body shot, at range you need to get a headshot. The only weapon in the base game that fires solid projectiles. The advantage it has over the Pulse Rifle is that since it fires solid projectiles, it can penetrate enemy shields, allowing you to kill enemies who think they're safe. Not seemingly based off any real-world firearm

Bowcaster

Very heavy blaster. Another charge based weapon. Fires one heavy shot at low charge, but charging increases the number of shots fired at one time. The Primary Weapon of Chewbacca. Not seemingly based off any real-world firearm.

DLC Weapons=

As the title suggests, these are weapons added in 4 post release expansion packs. Unlike the weapons featured in the base game, these are unlocked through an added feature called "Hutt Contracts". Rather than level up and then purchase them, you buy a contract for them and then complete a certain number of challenges to unlock them.

DL-18 Blaster Pistol (Umarex RO 72 Panther)

Based off the Umarex RO 72 Panther air gun. Has decent damage output, a good rate of fire, and good cooling power. Good at close to mid range. Added in the Outer Rim Expansion. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 3 blaster kill streaks, and 15 kills with the Scout Pistol.

DLT-19X Targeting Rifle (MG34)

Based off the MG34. Has very high damage output, killing with a headshot at any range, but suffers from being able to fire only one shot before overheating. Good for long range. Added in the Outer Rim expansion. The only "sniper" type rifle available as a primary. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 3 targeting rifle streaks, 15 kills with the cycler rifle, and 15 headshots.

Relby-V10 Targeting Rifle (Schermuly Multi-Purpose Gun)

Based off the Schermuly Multi-Purpose Gun. Is the primary weapon used by Bossk. Has decent damage output, a good rate of fire, and good cooling power. Good at mid to long range. Added in the Outer Rim Expansion. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 3 targeting rifle streaks, 40 heavy blaster kills, and 15 kills with a targeting rifle in a single round.

DT-12 Blaster Pistol (Ruger Mk I)

Based off the Ruger Mk I. Is the primary weapon used by Greedo. Has strong damage output, relatively good rate of fire, and good cooling power. However it has very bad range, being only really effective at close range. Added in the Outer Rim expansion. It's Hutt contract requires you to kill 15 enemies with any blaster pistol, and to get 30 blaster pistol kills in the gamemode "blast" (Team Deathmatch)

EE-4 Blaster Rifle

Unknown base firearm. Has good damage output, fires very quick bursts, but can overheat quickly. Very effective at close range, but it's spread of shots it's burst can make it inaccurate at range. Added in the Bespin Expansion. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 30 kills with the EE-3, get 3 blaster rifle streaks, and get 10 generator defense scores in the "Sabotage" Gamemode.

X-8 Night Sniper

Unknown base firearm. It has decent damage output, good rate of fire, but relatively low cooling power. It's bonus is that it has equipped a thermal scope, allowing the user to see targets through smoke, dioxis (poison) gas, and in low light conditions. Is the primary weapon of Lando Calrissian. Added in the Bespin expansion. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 15 kills as Lando, 5000 objective score in "Sabotage", and get 10 headshots with blaster pistols.

TL-50 Heavy Blaster

Unknown base firearm. It has low damage output, but extremely high rate of fire and cooling power. It's low power is also made up for in that it has three barrels, which mixes with the high ROF for a fairly high damage output. Unlike every other weapon available so far, this one doesn't have a zoom function, instead it has a secondary charge shot. This charge shot fires a large energy blast that kills anyone in a small radius and damages anyone else nearby. Added in the Death Star expansion. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 20 kils as an Imperial soldier, get 75 heavy blaster kills, and win a game of "Battle Station".

K-16 Bryar Pistol

Unknown base firearm. It has overall decent damage, rate of fire, and cooling power. Though like the TL-50, it has a secondary fire. Also a charge shot, this one releases an extremely powerful shot that instakills anyone it hits. Added in the Death Star expansion. It's hutt Contract requires you to get 10 kills with blaster pistols, 25 kills as Han Solo, and get 3 blaster pistol streaks.

A180 Blaster Pistol (WE Luger P08)

Based on an airsoft clone of the Luger P08. As a pistol, it has good damage output, fire rate, and cooling power. Added in the Rogue One: Scarif Expansion. This is a very unique weapon. When equipped your star cards are replaced by three alternate modes for the blaster; rifle, sniper, and ion. In rifle mode it is effectively the same as the A280C, with similar damage, ROF, etc. In sniper mode it is similar to the DLT-19X, but with increased damage output. The ion mode is useful against vehicles, however it is ineffective against individual enemies. It is a very versatile weapon that can be used quite effectively in most situations, with the only real drawback being you aren't able to use your personal star cards. It's the primary weapon of Jyn Erso. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 25 blaster pistol kills, 30 blaster rifle kills, and 20 targeting rifle kills.

DT-29 Blaster Pistol (MP40)

Based off the MP40. Has high damage output, good rate of fire, but unlike every other weapon in the game, it doesn't overheat, instead it requires reloading. Added in the Rogue One: Scarif expansion. It holds six shots per energy pack, which is then replaced with a new one from an endless supply you apparently keep in your pocket. The reload animation is pretty long, so you should try to be in cover if you need to reload. It is the Primary weapon of Director Orson Krennic. When used by him, a secondary fire mode is available that turns the weapon into a single shot gun that packs a serious punch, killing most enemies in a single hit. It's Hutt Contract requires you to get 25 kills as Krennic, use 10 personal shields, and get 50 blaster pistol kills.

CJ-9 Bo Rifle

Unknown base firearm. Has decent damage output, decent rate of fire, and good cooling power. Added after the Rogue One: Scarif expansion. This weapons unique bonus is that it has an electric "staff" mounted like a bayonet that can be used to get an instant melee kill. Because of this, the rifle performs best in close quarters. Unlike any other weapon in the game, this one can only be unlocked during a match. When you kill an opponent who had it equipped, a token will be dropped. Pick up this token, and you will then unlock the rifle. Simple as that.

Scatter Gun

Unknown base firearm. The only gun-like star card added in the expansions. One of only two shotgun-like weapons in the whole game. It fires to shots in rapid succession, just like the scout pistol. It is very powerful, killing most opponents at close range in a single hit, and at mid range if you land both. Like the Cycler Rifle, this also fires solid projectiles, meaning that enemy shields are no match for you when you got one of these in your hands.
