KYBER

Hello there!

This update introduces the Report System, allowing you to quickly and securely notify KYBER when a user is disrupting the experience. Reports can be made directly within the KYBER Launcher and will be reviewed in accordance with our Terms of Service. Support for custom maps and game modes is now implemented.

The Launcher now supports custom names, images, and selection UI for new maps and game modes. We’ll be sharing documentation later to guide mod developers through map setup in Frosty Editor. A big thanks to the Battlefront Plus team for their collaboration in making this happen.

We’ve also resolved the issue where Battlefront 2 settings would reset every time the game launched with KYBER (thank the maker).

Battlefront Plus

CONQUEST RETURNS TO BATTLEFRONT

  • Supremacy reworked into Conquest, using a ticket-based system instead of percentages. Kills and captured posts deplete enemy tickets; more posts = faster drain.

  • Majority capture rate decides control speed (e.g. 9 Clones vs 3 Droids = rate of 6).

  • Capturing all posts triggers Overtime - the losing team has 60 seconds to reclaim a post or lose.

  • Auto-captured posts: Two per team at round start (Prequel/Sequel) for faster variety.

  • Capital ships return as limited “lives.” Losing on the ground sends your team to defend your ship once.

  • Win by either destroying the enemy ship after a ground win, or by winning two ground phases.

NEW MODES & CONTENT

  • Added Conquest XL (cross-era heroes).

  • Added Galactic Assault (era-locked heroes).

  • Added BARC and STAP speeders to Naboo & Kashyyyk GA; added Hoth and Andor bikes to Conquest Hoth & Yavin IV.

  • Adjusted AAT gravity, boosted MTT fire damage, and fixed various map and UI issues.

  • Removed Yoda’s AP from OT maps; restored Blue/Grey STAPs/AATs to era-locked Conquest.

  • Fixed elimination counts in HvsV and Clash, and reset Speeder Bike weapons to BF+ defaults.

VEHICLE BALANCE

  • AT-AT: Ear cannons now automatic; fire rate 0.5s → 0.3s. Chin Cannon duration 10s → 18s, radius widened 1.5–5 → 3.5–6.

  • Removed gravity effect from AAT rockets.

AI & SYSTEMS

  • Bots no longer path through closed doors or use wrong skins.

  • Fixed Ventress choke, CO-OP spawn, Dengar AP, B1/Clone AP, and Kamino/Geonosis skin bugs.

  • Hero menus reordered for clarity:

  • Frontend: LS/DS → Era → Saber/Range → Importance

    • Gameplay: Saber/Range → Era → Importance

TROOPERS & REINFORCEMENTS

  • DC-17M Sniper: No longer resets heat when swapping.

KYBER

Hello there! It’s time for another KYBER Beta Playtest update - and this one brings some big upgrades.

The team’s been working steadily behind the scenes, and today we’re rolling out a fresh set of improvements across the board. You can dive into all the details in the full Update Notes below.

We’re also expanding our support for players across the globe:

And yes - Wave Four is on the horizon. We expect to welcome around 6,000 new Playtesters, doubling the number invited in the previous Wave. We’ll share the exact start date soon - but preparations are already underway.
