We are, of course, talking about Boba Fett, whose long-range rifle can be a true weapon of mass destruction in the right hands.ĭICE is knocking the bounty hunter down a few pegs by lowering his weapon damage over distance, reducing the damage of his wrist-launcher explosive and removing the wrist-launcher's ability to lock on.įor players who enjoy fighter squadron but have yet to take a flight in the Millennium Falcon or Slave 1, today's changes should better your odds.

Numerous other Star Cards and weapons are seeing some minor adjustments, but the other major change is to one of the game's most popular hero characters. DICE agrees, as the Homing Shot now takes triple the time to lock on, has a shorter range and a slower projectile speed. The weapon is a one-hit kill rocket that locks onto other players and can seem to hit you from across the battlefield. One of the top Star Cards of choice in the game is the infuriatingly easy-to-use Homing Shot.

However, it isn't only the DL-44 that is getting some much-needed attention. DICE also says the weapon's 'overheat' has been tweaked (whatever that means). No longer will you be able to pop off multiple powerful shots in rapid succession, as the weapon's fire rate has been changed from 250 to 180.
