BB-8 and his evil doppelganger BB-9E have arrived in Star Wars Battlefront II. The update bringing the two droids was due out recently but was delayed from its original January 31 date. However, the update is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Ahead of its launch, the two droids were detailed extensively on the game’s forums, so we know what to expect from them. Read on for a look at what each one is capable of and how they differ from one another.

BB-8
BB-8, the famous droid from the recent new Star Wars trilogy, is defined by his speed–not only can he move very quickly, but the droid captures Command Posts at twice the rate of other characters. He can roll even faster with his Rolling Charge attack, which lets roll zoom straight forward into opponents. His Shock Prod attack lets him deal electrical damage to enemies. BB-8 can also use his “Resistance Backing” ability to reveal enemy locations (while also increasing the damage they will take), and he can use his Cable Spin ability to hit enemies around him using three tow cables.
Here’s the complete list of other abilities, functions, emotes, and poses for BB-8.
Passive Abilities
Technical Support
- BB-8 will count as two units when capturing a Command Post, and activating an objective device is much faster.
