5 DC-15A

A Standard Issue Blaster Rifle for Moderate Performance

Cooling Power	7
Range	5
Rate of Fire	5
Damage	6

The DC-15A is the default blaster rifle in Battlefront 2, and one that will get an average performance out of players just starting out, but that doesn’t mean players should stick with it as they rank up. The DC-15A has a good performance with average stats for both its cooldown and its damage output, but the weapon lacks modifications and advancements that make further upgrades superior.

4 E-11D

An Unlockable That’s Too Similar to the Default, With a Twist

There isn’t much to be said about the E-11D that hasn’t already been said about the DC-15A. Both weapons are effectively the same in terms of stats and performance, and that’s because they are actually the same gun. The only difference between this variant is the unlock requirements and the fact that it can have attachments, but that still doesn’t boost this precise and reliable weapon into the big leagues. The E-11D is decent enough, especially with its mod selection, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best.

3 EL-16HFE

A Powerful But Slow Blaster Rifle

Cooling Power	8
Range	7
Rate of Fire	3
Damage	8

If players want something with a moderate range, then the EL-16HFE is a decent choice to take into battle. It’s steady and reliable, with predictable recoil that players can lead into to control their shots, even with its heavy feel. The reason the El-16HFE is a great choice is due to its damage. Boasting the highest damage of the blaster rifles for the Assault class, this assault rifle can tear through enemies with ease, eradicate normal troops with just 2 shots to the head, while other specialist enemies will take 3 or more. Further recoil control and improved range modifications will make this a must-have, but players will need to be cautious when surrounded, as the slow fire rate isn’t for close-range engagements.

2 A280

The Three-Shot Burst Blaster Rifle for Reliability

Cooling Power	6
Range	6
Rate of Fire	4
Damage	5

The A280 is one of the best guns in Battlefront 2, even if some players might not enjoy the three-round burst fire mode of this blaster. With the A280 in hand, players are in for a treat with a medium-range blaster rifle that can easily take out opponents with just a short burst. Great cooling power, moderate range, and decent damage make the A280 a reliable choice, especially when players are using it as close-range and mid-range, and with modifications to increase the range and cooling even further.

1 CR-2

A Rapid-Fire Submachine Gun to Rip and Tear

Cooling Power	8
Range	3
Rate of Fire	10
Damage	3

The CR-2 might seem like a small package, but as Yoda always says, “size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?” With the CR-2 in use, players are going to have something small but deadly. The CR-2 is a rapid-fire SMG, with a DPS so high that players will easily eradicate their enemies, but only in close-range vicinities. While it’s not an assault rifle that benefits from further distances, those who like to get up close to their foes are going to have a blast with this weapon that simply doesn’t slow down, especially with its controllable recoil that’s aided further with the light stock attachments and ion shot to tear through defensive shields.
