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.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |
Resource Farming by Area
Kamino
Key resources: Clone Commando and Droideka value, tight corridor practice Farming efficiency: Low value per run, but safe and consistent

Naboo
Key resources: Close range weapon mastery, hero heavy final phase Farming efficiency: Good early-game farming spot
Focus on gathering materials for EL-16HFE upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.
Kashyyyk
Key resources: Reinforcement practice, mixed range engagements Farming efficiency: Best mid-game farming, worth revisiting
Focus on gathering materials for EL-16HFE upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.
Hoth
Key resources: NT-242 sightlines, AT-AT and speeder play Farming efficiency: High-value materials for late-game upgrades
This is where you farm materials for CR-2 max upgrades. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.

Key resources: Flanking routes, Ewok Hunt achievements Farming efficiency: Best resources in the game, requires strong build
This is where you farm materials for CR-2 max upgrades. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.
Upgrade Path
Early Game (Kamino to Naboo)
- Upgrade your starting weapons to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on EL-16HFE once accessible
Mid Game (Kashyyyk)
- Push EL-16HFE to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for CR-2
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Hoth to Endor)
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Kashyyyk farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Battle Points come from objective work far faster than from kills. Arming a bomb, holding a capture point or reviving a downed teammate pays more than a streak of kills in an open field, which is why Officers reach 4,000 points before anyone else.
- Farm Kashyyyk during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
