Star Wars Battlefront II August 26th patch notes, read ’em here

Although the content drops have ended EA are still patching Star Wars Battlefront II and a small patch is dropping today with a bunch fixes for your favourite heroes and villains.

“Most notably of which, is the issue where it was possible to build up Darth Vader’s damage reduction traits,” say EA. “A fix has also been implemented which will stop General Grievous’ Claw Rush ability hitting more than expected within a short space of time. We have also fixed an issue that would cause Darth Maul to become unable to block, after performing a Spin Attack.”
