Star Wars Battlefront Tips to Level Up Faster

Use a Combo of Third & First-Person

Use a Combo of Third & First-Person

Star Wars Battlefront allows you to use first person or third person view when you're moving around or flyinf around inside a vehicle. While you might be tempted to stick with one view, we recommend branching out and using both. 

Flying is a whole lot easier in the third-person view. Flying in third person makes enemies and power ups a whole lot easier to see. It also makes it easier to fly and manuever your ship. All of that will lead to higher scores and more experience. 

While you might default to first-person when you're on the ground, don't dismiss third-person. First person makes it easier to aim but third-person makes it easier to see one's surroundings. And that'll be crucial if you're behind enemy lines or if you're capturing a point with a team.

      Actually, as someone who played the beta I would Highly recommend it for only flying vehicles. My reason behind this is the clunky flight mechanism they chose to use, on a keyboard and mouse it is MUCH harder to use, so grab a flight control joystick, I use a logitech extreme 3d pro for its throttle control. It makes it much more enjoyable to switch to it when I jump into a ship.

      Plus look at it this way, we as PC players have the benefit of actually picking and choosing the best tool for the job, 90% of the time it’s a keyboard+ mouse but sometimes a controller or joystick wins out

    Yea the dumbest advice ever. Use a controller with a fps. lol.
    Is this a troll guide? You’re guaranteed to get wrecked playing the main game (on foot) with a controller. You can NEVER come anywhere close to the precision of aiming with a mouse.
    Sure for the flying parts a controller works fine. But if your gonna go that route, might as well go all the way and get a proper flight stick to really dominate, as they are purely designed for this. Plus it’s easier to swap from the stick to hte mouse+keyboard for levels where you do both.

    Also the reasoning is wrong “Holding down the trigger on the controller is more comfortable than holding down the aim button on the keyboard.”
    lol guess the guy never even TRIED playing the flight mode with a keyboard and mouse. Because the default key to lock on is not even a keyboard key. It’s rightclick, which is comfortable to hold down for long periods with a nice gaming mouse.

    Oddly I do vastly better in fighter squadron in this game than I have even in other games with a mouse and keyboard, the controls seem well optimized to use a mouse. Just gotta set your sensitivity right and turn down the fov as it messes up the sensitivity for vehicles.

    They meant use a controller for the flying part, and I have to say it beats using a mouse, by a mile.

      No it doesn’t controller is awful for it. I was having highest kills in squadron after my second match using mouse. Turn down sensitivity and it is far superior.

    Personal preference. I prefer mouse n keyboard for fps but for my taste the mouse n keyboard would probably cost more than the console its 2nd controller and the game combined. If this keyboard n mouse combo was the only way to game consoles would come with em in the box 2. Any1 ever tried a fighting game with a keyboard n mouse yeah that is surely a moment worth forgetting!!
    Thanks also Adam for the post … those that can do those that can’t sling insults

    Seriously, i have the dl-44 with a guy right in front of me, i shoot him 6 times, my gun overheats, and then he kills me one shot with a puny standard rifle, like, wat.

    Sounds like you missed a few shots you thought you hit and he got a headshot. You just ran I to a better player. Happens to me more often than not.

    I just like how it gives you the basics and not anything over complicated. I just got the game yesterday and using this site I got to level 17 in a 12 hour radius.

    These aren’t very useful tips. A couple are okay, the rest are way too generic. There are better tips for ranking up on this page – https://www.battlefrontguide.com/how-to-level-up-fast-in-star-wars-battlefront/

    When it comes to generating pure Star Wars atmosphere this is a dream come true. But even that can’t hide the fact that in the end the content is fun but at this stage very limited.

      I Think too much attention is spent on making the two factions equally matched… A shame really, because the ‘same-ness’ of the clones vrs the grab bag of random rebel species is such a big part of the storyline/atmosphere…. I mean Nien Nunb and other Sullistians should be 1-2.5 ft shorter that the Humans with a higher jump that end’s up being about the same clearance as a human – and they should incorporate small places/tunnels/ ducting vents that only they can fit in (maybe Rhodians could fit crouched). Each of the species should have a perk like improved radar sense, rewire infantry turrets and (stunned)droids, perhaps a triple-jump maneuver that is essentially 1/2 a jetpack with no in flight steering, or improved skills for vehicles – I know this is covered by the traits (scout , bodyguard, etc..) but once you let the Imps pick them (wait! I thought they were CLONES) you kind of need something else to set the different species apart from the ‘optimum military force’ to be more immersive or in tune with the ‘SW Universe”
      Or – As I’ve been known to scream at my monitor in the middle of the night –
      ! These Rebs are Clones !! …
      …. Heck even Boba Fett doesn’t even have a cool helmet with advanced Hud/Targeting. And What’s with the no FPV while a hero- i could care less what I look like to others as I unleash my hero moves…. It’s annoying to have to all of a sudden start adjusting for corners.
