With the first Outer Rim expansion slated for release by the end of the month, Battlefront got its monthly update yesterday adding free content! Unlike the still fresh February update, there are no bug fixes or balances, just two new maps:
- Survival mode on the Rebel Depot the Tatooine.
- Loyalty card Survivors of Endor.
We present to you a survival mission guide and a preview of this new map on Endor!
Endor Survivors
Personally, I find this card really sublime. We meet on Endor, after the destruction of the Death Star. In the distance, we can see the antenna of the shield completely destroyed, the metal still smoking, parts of the forest are also being devastated by the flames. And all around us ... the already burnt forest, tree trunks litter the ground, while the fire is still present here and there with heaps of ashes (besides, be careful not to stay in it, it makes damages !). Fortunately, small streams and rocky areas full of moss still add some greenery to this place, as we progress to a superb cave, hidden behind a waterfall, or an ewok village perched in the trees. The ewok village is already seen on the other Endor map ... Well yes but no! This village is much more imposing, lots of walkways in all directions, and it is also much more elaborate in terms of decor details, for example we find in a corner a tent that could be that of the shaman, lots of details which give the impression of being in another village. I must say that I have a little crush on this village, it is so interesting to play there, to be able to jump from one catwalk to another (and sometimes to miss it!) Or to use the jetpack, it allows you to playing in another very, very interesting dimension.
This map is available in three game modes: Attack of the Walkers (only one TB-TT for the Empire), Supremacy and Turntable (I haven't had the opportunity to test it in this mode yet, I don't know) not if there are notable differences). Stop talking and make way for a small photo gallery to discover it!

Survival Mode: Tatooine Rebel Depot
Nothing new in this Survival mode, just a new map to survive in: Tatooine's Rebel Depot. In terms of the waves, nothing too bad, no TR-TT, only infantry (Stormtroopers, Shadow troopers, Scout troopers, Shock troopers, Jump troopers, Rocket troopers) and probe droids. Always an equipment capsule every 3 waves and a total of 15 waves. In terms of available hands we have the following two combos:
- Impact Grenade, Personal Shield and Thermal Detonator
- Barrage, Pulse Detector and Scout Gun
I advise you to place yourself on the Millennium Falcon to face the waves, in order to have an overview and be able to easily shoot from various sides, in addition you will be difficult to aim by most soldiers (except jumptroopers) or in one of the lanes, so jumptroopers will not be able to take advantage of their tactical advantage at height, just as scouts and rocket troopers will not be able to target you from afar.
The interest of a guide, however, lies more in the less recurring part of the various survival modes. This card also contains 5 trophy objects scattered and "hidden" in the map. Here's where to find them.
- Starting court
- Millennium Falcon
- Medical bay
- Landspeeder
- doors
The first trophy object is right next to you when you start in the very large courtyard overlooking the desert, there on your left looking at the Millennium Falcon in the center of the map, you will see a small mound of dirt to climb on. to jump and catch the first trophy object.
For the second, go to the center of the map, under the Millennium Falcon, it is not hard to find;).
When you then go to the front of the Millennium Falcon, there is an X-wing wreck and to the right, a medical bay. Fairly well hidden, I picked it up the first time without understanding why ... But look closely, it is in the bacta tank!
Come back to the Millennium Falcon and go this time to the back of it, in the junction with the next courtyard you will find a landspeeder, the trophy is just in front of it.
Finally continue towards this courtyard at the back of the Millennium Falcon. The last trophy object is simple there near one of the doors. There you have the five!
