Greetings, Hunters Fans, and thanks for your continued support in the Arena. There’s still a lot more to look forward to in Season 2: Empire Resurgent and the team wants your feedback on the game and the new content added. We are listening on the official Discord Server so join and share your thoughts. For now, here’s a quick update on our new Hunter, an upcoming addition to the Hunter’s Path and some other things to look out for.

K-A0S takes the Spotlight!

The hulking Imperial security droid K-AOS storms into the Arena, ready to unleash her powerful tank-class abilities. Capable of clearing control points and protecting allies, K-A0S is on a mission of vengeance against the Wookiee juggernaut Grozz, who tore off her arms and now wields them as weapons!

Season 2 also introduces a thrilling new Battlefield inspired by Darth Vader’s iconic castle. Battle across areas featuring fiery lava pits, a Sith monolith, the Dark Lord’s TIE Advanced Fighter, and his healing Bacta Tank.

UPDATE: Aran Tal Coming Soon to Hunter’s Path

First up is an important announcement about our Mandalorian Champion Aran Tal. Aran Tal will be added to the Hunter’s Path from the start of Season 3 and will be available for all players by earning Hunter Tokens through gameplay. If you can’t wait, then you can start playing now with the Aran Tal Starter Pack. 

UPDATE: Unlocking Friends & Parties Earlier

We have made some updates so that Friends & Parties can be unlocked as soon you complete your third match, so you can send or accept invites from your friends and start playing with them even faster! To help you get into the action quickly, if you are new to the game and want to jump into a match with friends, you will have the first 4 Hunters unlocked to ensure you can squad up with your friends and join the battlefield. This will be available from Aug 20, 2024

Events Shop

Be sure to check out the new Event tab in the shop, where you can spend Credits earned from events on exciting new Costumes, Weapon Wraps, Avatars, Stickers, and more. Highlights in the Event Shop for Season 2 include epic cosmetic sets for Grozz, Skora, and Charr. You can access this new tab from the shop directly or from the new Event Shop button in the event screen! 

PINNACLE CLASH: THE POWER PARADOX

THE POWER PARADOX is this Season’s Pinnacle Clash event, and will run from August 22 - September 1! It’s a grudge match for the ages as K-A0S seeks revenge against the Wookiee who stole her arms - Grozz! 

During the event, you will be randomly assigned to K-A0S’ or Grozz’s team and will need to complete challenges particular to your team. Completing challenges will earn you unique rewards, including an epic K-A0S Costume and Weapon Wrap. Complete challenges to score points for your team. In addition, all players will receive a special avatar for the winning team at the end of this event!

In-Match Control Schemes

If you have feedback on the new in-match control schemes, please do share your thoughts in the Discord server where your feedback makes it to the game team directly. You can now choose between 2, 3 and 4-finger controls and we’d like to hear what you’re using.

Hunter of the Week

This week it is our rugged stormtrooper Sentinel. Sentinel is tough in the Arena, but did you know that he’s actually cheated death multiple times as the only survivor of several military regiments? Sentinel has an average accuracy of 42% in the hands of players around the world—now that’s staying on target!
