The Star Wars Battlefront II trial is available to EA Access players, which means we get the chance to run through the multiplayer as Bossk, the famous bounty hunter who is certainly not scum!
Thatās right. Because someone demanded it (was it you?) Bossk has returned for this sequel.
Battlefront IIās multiplayer allows players to access hero characters after gathering enough points to spend. In most cases, this means playing as lightsaber wielding villains like Darth Vader or Kylo Ren. If that sounds boring, you can also spend your points to play as Bossk, the god among lizard people. Heās a carry over from 2015 Battlefrontās DLC and 100 percent the best character in the game.
If youāre unfamiliar with Bossk, thatās okay. Heās a giant lizard bounty hunter who appeared for one scene in The Empire Strikes Back. In the original expanded universe, he was a bit of a dope. Books like K.W. Jeterās The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy portrayed him as tough but too clever by half while the Shadow of the Empire comic had him chase down Boba Fett and try to steal the carbonite-frozen Han Solo. Fun fact: his dadās name in the old lore was Cradossk and he was also a big idiot too Iām pretty sure Bossk is a bigger deal in the new canon timeline but Iām an expanded universe purist and way too busy to watch Clone Wars and Rebels.
Here he is in action:
Bossk plays like a beefier assault trooper, packing an arsenal of poison gas, scatter grenades, and a powerful blaster. That sounds a little boring compared to lightsabers and Force lightning but he also has a special ability that lets him freak the fuck out out and go into some type of screwed up Predator mode with heat vision and a rapid fire grenade launcher. Itās bonkers and I love it.
Star Wars is full of iconic characters like Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett. I have no damn clue how Bossk made it into the roster of hero characters available for the gameās launch but Iām glad hereās there. Lizard people need love too.
