Star Wars Battlefront 2 's April Update is live, and it brings the Appearance system to the game. In this short guide, we'll show you every major character skin along with its price in Credits. Imperial officers were the successors of the regular, non-Jedi officers of the Galactic Republic. At the end of the Clone Wars, Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, leader of the Republic, unilaterally reorganized the regime into an autocratic Galactic Empire and also ordered the extermination of all Jedi. The Republic Military was then reformed into the Imperial Military.

REQUIREMENTS TO UNLOCK THE WEAPONS
Each of the 4 Trooper classes in the game has one stock (default) weapon that they start with and another 3 available for unlocking through gameplay. The stock models don’t support any upgrades, but all the others do.
To unlock them for each class you have to complete the following achievements:
- Weapon slot 1 – Default Weapon for all classes. Available to all players from the beginning.
- Weapon slot 2 – Unlocked by killing 50 enemies with the specific class
- Weapon slot 3 – Unlocked by killing 200 enemies with the specific class
- Weapon slot 4 – Unlocked by killing 500 enemies with the specific class
The unlockable weapons have 3 mods each. They can be unlocked separately by killing a certain amount of enemies while using that weapon on any Multiplayer map:
- Mod Slot 1 – Defeat 50 enemies in Multiplayer with the specific weapon
- Mod Slot 2 – Defeat 150 enemies in Multiplayer with the specific weapon
- Mod Slot 3 – Defeat 250 enemies in Multiplayer with the specific weapon
Before I begin with the detailed overview of each one of the weapons, let me give you this quick advice – getting the number of required kills is a lot faster and easier in small-scale maps and modes such as Strike and Blast.

This one will be yours once you defeat 50 enemies in Multiplayer. It’s a main battle rifle that can be modified for longer range engagements or to offer devastating explosive damage. The mods available are:

DC-17
The default pistol for the Officer class is a fast firing weapon. It’s well-balanced on all fronts, but excels in nothing. Cannot be modified in any way.

BEST WEAPONS FOR EACH CLASS
Now that we’ve done a detailed overview of all weapons for all classes, let’s talk about which one is the best and why. I’ll list one weapon for each class and what makes it worth purchasing and modding.
ASSAULT CLASS BEST WEAPON
The CR-2 blaster is by far the most useful in the Assault Trooper’s arsenal. It has a very high rate of fire, combined with lower damage output, but is an absolutely fantastic tool in the hands of both experienced and more new to the game players. It is my favorite weapon and, honestly, if I could, I may just use it on other troopers as well. Sadly, the weapons are restricted to their respective classes only.
It’s a weapon you don’t want to use in long-ranged fights, but from medium to close-range skirmishes, it shines and will net you a lot of successful outcomes. I personally prefer it in the smaller scale Multiplayer maps as they usually allow for a more close-ranged combat in more confined spaces.
The CR-2 is unlocked after you gain a total of 200 kills in any Multiplayer mode and map.
HEAVY CLASS BEST WEAPON
The most expensive weapon in the Heavy Trooper’s arsenal is also the best to use. It will take you 500 kills on any Multiplayer map to unlock it, but it’s worth the trouble and time. The weapon has an incredible combination of great cooling power and very high rate of fire, but it lacks on the damage output. However, this is still the best choice for a short to medium range fights for the Heavy class.
When upgraded with the proper mod, the secondary fire will allow you to fire off a lethal concussion blast. and the other 2 mods are a must-have too, but since they are unlocked before you reach the 250 required kills for the Secondary Fire mode, it’s easy to have it all on now.
OFFICER CLASS BEST WEAPON
For the officer’s best choice the heavy burden to bear this title lands on the SE-44C pistol. I mean, there’s a reason why this weapon was the primary blaster for the First Order, right?! Joking aside, this is a very well-balanced pistol, a great addition for the support class in Star Wars Battlefront 2. If upgraded fully, it can be fired at an exponentially higher rate, thanks to the “Rapid Fire” mod.
There’s a good reason why this pistol is locked behind a 500 kills requirement to unlock it.
SPECIALIST CLASS BEST WEAPON
I’m not much of a sniper, so for the selection of the best weapon for the Specialist class, I had to look around and do some research on the internet. It seems that the best choice lands on the A280-CFE sniper. It boasts a good damage at a relatively long-range.
If your choice of class is the Specialist, you are in luck, because their best weapon is unlocked after only 200 kills. Well, that’s better compared to the Heavy and Officer, isn’t it?
This concludes my in-depth overview and guide to all weapons available in Star Wars Battlefront 2 Multiplayer. If you have different preferences, I would love it if you share with me and the rest of my visitors, why you like another weapon the most for your favorite class. Cheers :)
