Specialist (class)

"The Specialist excels at long ranged combat, but is vulnerable in close quarters."

— In-game description

The Specialist class is one of the four trooper classes in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II. The other three trooper classes are Assault, Heavy, and Officer.

Overview

This class specializes in long-range and one-on-one combat. With 150 health, Specialists must use a combination of flanking and certain Ability Cards, such as Personal Shield, to effectively fight several enemies at once.

Like all units, the Specialist's class level is determined by the experience earned and time played in game with the class. Star Cards for the Specialist class can be unlocked through Skill Points, one of which is earned each time the class is leveled up. Their unique Boost Card is Stealth, which hides them on enemy radars. The Specialist class uses targeting rifles that are unlocked by completing their respective milestones.

Weapons

Faction default

These weapons are the default snipers for each faction and all share the same stats.

Abilities

The Specialist class has three default abilities, which can be modified by Boost Cards or replaced completely by Ability Cards.

The default Shock Grenade that temporarily slows enemies down.

Go behind enemy lines by becoming undetectable to enemy scanners, marking enemies, and equipping a powerful medium-ranged weapon.

Digital macrobinoculars capable of uncovering heat signatures of enemy soldiers, even through walls. Additionally they can spot enemies in direct line of sight and relay their location to your allies.
