STAR WARS Battlefront II Boss Guide: Strategies for Every Boss

Q: Is Star Wars Battlefront II still worth playing in 2026?

Yes for the content, with reservations about population. The 2020 Scarif update closed out free support with 13 Galactic Assault maps and a full hero roster, and Instant Action plus Co-Op means the game works even when a specific online mode is quiet.

Q: Are there still loot boxes?

No. The crate system was reworked in March 2018 into a class based progression where Skill Points unlock Star Cards and Crafting Parts upgrade them. Purchases are cosmetic only.

Q: Which class should a new player start with?

Officer. It generates Battle Points faster than anything else through Battle Command and turret placement, so you can afford reinforcements and heroes while you are still learning the maps and the gunplay.

Q: How do you unlock all the weapons?

Kill counts with the owning class: 50, 200 and 400 kills unlock the three unlockable weapons per trooper class. Attachments then need further kills with that specific weapon, so grinding one gun at a time is the efficient route.

Q: What is the difference between Galactic Assault and Supremacy?

Galactic Assault is a 40 player linear attack and defend with scripted phases. Supremacy and Capital Supremacy are back and forth control point modes that add AI troopers and, in Capital Supremacy, a boarding phase on a capital ship.

Researched and editorially reviewed. Updated August 12, 2026.

DICE's Battlefront II covers the prequel, original and sequel eras in one shooter, with 40 player Galactic Assault as the headline mode across 13 maps. The loot crate progression that dominated its 2017 launch was stripped out and replaced by class based Skill Points, and free content ran until the Scarif update in April 2020. It still fills lobbies on Steam, and Instant Action lets you play the whole thing offline against bots.

Boss fights are where STAR WARS Battlefront II tests everything you've learned. This guide covers strategies for bosses across all areas, organized by progression order. For general combat techniques, see our combat guide.

Boss Difficulty Overview

Area	Difficulty	Recommended Role	Key Weapons
Kamino	Easy	Heavy	EL-16HFE
Naboo	Moderate	Heavy	EL-16HFE
Kashyyyk	Hard	Assault	CR-2
Hoth	Very Hard	Assault	CR-2
Endor	Extreme	Assault	CR-2

Kamino Bosses

Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Galactic Assault, Blast, Heroes vs Villains Recommended role: Heavy with EL-16HFE

Strategy

The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. Kills, objective work and supporting teammates all pay Battle Points during a match. This is your primary tool here.

Key tips:

Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
Use Battle Points economy to create safe windows.
EL-16HFE is enough to handle everything here.

Naboo Bosses

Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: Galactic Assault, Capital Supremacy, Co-Op Recommended role: Heavy with EL-16HFE

Strategy

Early game bosses test your understanding of Star Card loadouts. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.

Key tips:

Star Card loadouts is critical for these fights.
Farm EL-16HFE upgrades if you're struggling.
Consider switching to Heavy if your current setup isn't working.

Kashyyyk Bosses

Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: Galactic Assault, Capital Supremacy Recommended role: Assault with CR-2

Strategy

Mid-game bosses are the major skill check. They combine multiple mechanics and punish players who rely on a single strategy.

Key tips:

You need both Battle Points economy and Class weapon unlocks mastery.
CR-2 makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
See our combat guide for advanced techniques.

Hoth Bosses

Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: Galactic Assault, Co-Op Recommended role: Assault with CR-2

Strategy

Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.

Key tips:

Make sure your build is fully optimized.
CR-2 at max upgrade is recommended.
Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.

Endor Bosses

Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: Galactic Assault, Ewok Hunt, Blast Recommended role: Assault with CR-2

Strategy

Endgame bosses are the ultimate test. They require mastery of all combat systems and an optimized build.

Key tips:

Top-tier build with best-in-slot gear is mandatory.
Master every mechanic. See our combat guide.
These fights reward patience and pattern recognition above all else.

General Boss Tips

Learn before you fight: Spend your first attempt observing attack patterns. Don't try to win on attempt one.
Match your build: Some bosses favor certain builds over others. Don't be afraid to switch.
Upgrade your weapons: A max-upgraded CR-2 trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
Use Battle Points economy: The core combat mechanic is your best defensive tool in every boss fight.
