Bad news for fans of the big time realism in their favorite video games is going to hate this news. It turns out you can use BB-8 or the world’s most famous Wookie, Chewbacca, in the powerful game Star Wars: Battlefront II. This is bad news because it is not entirely accurate that the BB-8 droid or Chewbacca can stand toe-to-toe with Darth Vader or the dreaded Luke Skywalker, but here we are.

So what now? Well, we just roll with it, which is exactly one a lot of these players have ended up doing. They are out there, right now, doing their absolutely best to make it happen and they may or may not be able to get it out there in time. That’s where things get weird: It is a definite strategy to use BB-8 whenever you get the chance. Why? Well, keep reading to find out.

The BB-8 is super, super small. That means it has a smaller hit-box than you might have thought. So you will need to be careful if you come up against this powerful foe in a huge standoff.

There are not many things you will be able to do if you think about it, but you have to fight through it if you get stuck in this wild situation. BB-8 also has the ability to shoot short-range blaster bolts from the tip of its head, and it has the highest mobility within the game. This thing can roll around like its nobody business.

So, if you find yourself playing as Luke, Rey, or Darth Vader, just know that the Jedi killer is none other than BB-8. That is absolutely incredible.

For the rest of us, we will be avoiding playing as the dreaded Jedi forces. Because now there is nothing more worthwhile than playing as the beautiful little baby known as BB-8. This baddie can get it all done, and if you are smart and trying to strategize to make it out there, then you will need to choose this powerhouse to make it all happen. This means that in competitive play, you will want all of that mobility and firepower for yourself.

So in future competitions on the Star Wars: Battlefront II stage, we know that all of the pros will be going all out to get their grubby little hands on the BB-8 character. There is no other option. Good luck, my friends.
