If you’re playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 and want to make the most of each class, unlocking new weapons is one of the best ways to improve your game. Each class—Assault, Heavy, Officer, and Specialist—comes with its own unique guns, and unlocking them can give you an edge in combat. The process isn’t hard, but it does take some time and strategy. This guide will show you how to unlock every class weapon step-by-step and help you do it faster and smarter.
Weapons in Battlefront 2 aren’t unlocked by leveling up alone. Instead, they’re tied to the number of kills you get while playing as a specific class. For example, if you want to unlock more weapons for the Assault class, you need to play matches using the Assault class and focus on getting kills. Some weapons also require you to play in Co-Op mode and get kills there. It’s a grind, but if you stay consistent and focus on one class at a time, you’ll start unlocking new gear pretty quickly.
Kills with grenades, abilities, and melee attacks also count toward unlocking new weapons, so don’t feel like you always need to get them using just your blaster. Every bit of damage helps.
Assault Class Weapons
The Assault class is fast, aggressive, and ideal for close to mid-range battles. You’ll start with a solid weapon, but the unlockable options give you more power and flexibility.
- A280C – This is your starter weapon. It’s decent at most ranges and a good beginner blaster.
- A280 – Unlock this by getting 50 kills while playing as the Assault class.
- CR-2 – Unlocked after 200 kills. It’s a fast-firing gun great for close quarters.
- EL-16HFE – Get 400 kills with the Assault class to use this one. It’s stronger at longer range.
- E-11D – Get 50 kills in Co-Op while using Assault. A great choice if you like playing as the Empire.
Heavy Class Weapons
Heavy class is all about firepower. These characters move slower but deal heavy damage and can take a beating. Their weapons are perfect for locking down areas and breaking enemy lines.
- FWMB-10 – This is the default weapon. It’s reliable and comes with a built-in shield.
- DC-15LE – Get 50 kills with the Heavy class to unlock it.
- FWMB-10K – Reach 200 kills to unlock this version, with better range and fire rate.
- TL-50 – After 400 kills, you’ll get this powerful energy-based gun. It’s deadly up close.
- T-21 – Get 50 kills in Co-Op using the Heavy class. It hits hard but fires slower.
Officer Class Weapons
Officers are great support players. They buff teammates and control the battlefield. Their weapons are compact, but some pack a punch.
- SE-44C – Your starting pistol. Decent, but there are better options later.
- S-5 – Unlocked after 50 kills with the Officer class. Comes with a scope and great accuracy.
- Blurrg-1120 – Get 200 kills to unlock this hard-hitting burst weapon.
- SE-44C (Modified) – Reach 400 kills with Officer to unlock this enhanced version.
- DL-18 – Play Co-Op and get 50 kills as Officer to unlock it. It’s a reliable sidearm.
Specialist Class Weapons
Specialists are snipers and scouts. If you like taking out enemies from a distance, this is your class. Their weapons are precise, powerful, and deadly in the right hands.
- DLT-19D – Your starter weapon. Decent fire rate for a sniper-type.
- IQA-11 – Unlock this by getting 50 kills with Specialist. A true sniper rifle.
- A280-CFE – Unlocked after 200 kills. It’s versatile and good for mid-to-long range.
- NT-242 – Reach 400 kills to unlock this high-damage sniper rifle. Great for vehicles.
- Cycler Rifle – Get 50 kills in Co-Op while using the Specialist class to unlock it.
Unlocking Weapon Attachments
Every gun in Battlefront 2 comes with three possible attachments. These attachments can improve accuracy, reduce recoil, increase range, or help with overheating issues. To get these upgrades, just keep using the same weapon and hit the kill targets below:
- 25 kills with a weapon unlocks the first attachment.
- 75 kills unlocks the second one.
- 150 kills unlocks the third and final attachment.
Once unlocked, you can customize your loadout to match your style of play. Some players like longer-range scopes, while others prefer attachments that boost hip-fire accuracy.
Tips for Unlocking Weapons Faster
If you want to unlock everything as quickly as possible, here are a few strategies that help speed things up:
- Stick to one class at a time. Switching around slows down your progress. Focus on getting all kills for one class before moving to the next.
- Play Co-Op mode. Enemies are a bit easier to take down in Co-Op, and it’s a great way to rack up kills fast—especially for the Co-Op specific weapons.
- Use your abilities often. Since kills from grenades and special powers count, you don’t have to rely on your gun alone.
- Play objectives smartly. Chokepoints and capture areas are great places to farm kills. Stay alert and find the flow of each map.
- Check your progress often. Go to the main menu, then into the Career tab. There you’ll see how close you are to unlocking the next weapon or attachment.
