Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) received an update that finally grants you more credits. Especially good players and those who farm the arcade mode now get much more in-game currency as a reward.
Actually, it was intended in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 that you could buy the essential loot boxes for progression with real money as well as with in-game credits. After massive protests against this alleged Pay2Win mechanic, microtransactions have been suspended until further notice.
What remained was a system where you often have to grind for a long time to get the necessary credits and parts for more loot boxes and upgrades of the star cards contained in them. That is now over!
Finally more credits in multiplayer and arcade mode
With the latest update for Battlefront 2, you now earn more credits. Especially the top players in a round in multiplayer are supposed to receive significantly more credits according to the developers at DICE. Those who enjoy farming credits in the solo missions in arcade mode will also be pleased.
Previously, you could only earn 500 credits per day there. Due to the increased credit yield, which also applies to arcade mode, this “credit cap” according to DICE was reached too quickly. Therefore, the developers have tripled the daily credit limit in arcade mode. You can now farm 1,500 credits every day.
More crafting parts from daily loot boxes
As another feature, the rather lame daily free loot box has become thicker. You now receive more crafting parts from the free box. These parts are important to upgrade the existing star cards.
Moreover, the developers at DICE emphasize that the changes from the credit update are just the first step towards revising Star Wars: Battlefront 2. It remains exciting to see what DICE and publisher EA still plan for Battlefront 2 and whether the controversial economic system of the game will significantly change in the long term.
The backlash regarding the controversial microtransactions for loot boxes in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has caused EA to lose 3 billion dollars in stock value!
