Electronic Arts has released details on yet another game mode in Star Wars Battlefront, this time Droid Run.
In Droid Run there are two teams - Rebels and Imperials - of six players each. Each team has the objective of capturing three droids within a 10 minute time limit. There are weapon pickups, however there are no Heroes, Villains, or vehicles in this game mode.
"There are three active objectives on the map that you need to control," said lead level designer Dennis Brännvall. "These aren't just any objectives – what you need to get a hold of are three different GNK Droids. What’s particularly charming with these is that they’re all moving and have to be caught before the capture process can start. This creates a more dynamic and action-filled experience."
"The strategies used are somewhat different than for instance Cargo, where your positions are more strict. You can choose a slower, explosive play style by equipping Thermal Detonators and Cycler Rifles. But your team can also embrace the dynamic, chaotic nature of the game mode and equip Jump Packs to get around the map and chase the Droids as fast as possible."
Star Wars Battlefront releases on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC on November 17th.
