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.
STAR WARS Battlefront II features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.

| 3 | Kashyyyk | Galactic Assault, Capital Supremacy | Reinforcement practice, mixed range engagements | Assault |

- The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
- Experiment with Enforcer for variety once you've mastered the meta.
Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order: Kamino → Naboo → Kashyyyk → Hoth → Endor. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your weapons: Some areas favor different weapons types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
