Switching over to Bossk, DICE said it took inspiration from the Clone Wars animated series. We also didn't have any area of damage ability similar to this in the game yet, so it felt like a perfect fit to add this power to the game.' 'This ability will give him some extra reach and increase his area of effectiveness. 'We wanted to show Chewbacca's strength but also compensate for his low speed,' DICE said. As the name suggests, this sees Chewbacca smash the ground and damage all enemies in the area of effect. Chewbacca himself will also benefit from the roar with extra armor and damage.Ĭhewbacca's third special ability is called Ground Slam. Using this sends a force of energy to nearby soldiers that gives them a level-three Berserker effect and high armor for a limited time. If combined with the Multi-Bolt power, however, he can shoot eight bolts per shot, making him a deadly force, indeed.Īnother Chewbacca ability is Mighty Roar. One of the Chewbacca traits is called 'Furious firing.' For every trait level gained, he will shoot an extra bolt with a total of four possible bolts. 'You will find his bowcaster even more powerful than the troopers Star Card as it initially only shoots one explosive bolt and doesn't have a hold and release behavior…but it does have its own tricks.' 'Armed with his signature bowcaster, Chewbacca can deal out even more damage than he can take,' DICE said. He'll have more health than most heroes, while he has enough armor to make him become a 'much-needed Rebel tank.' He's not as fast as other heroes, but his health and firepower should be enough to make up for that. Ahead of the launch of Star Wars Battlefront's Death Star expansion this month, DICE has now published a blog post that dives deep into the content's two new heroes: Chewbacca and Bossk.ĭICE said it was both 'scary and exciting' to put Chewbacca into the game, considering he is such a well-known and beloved character.
