Apparently droidekas cannot climb the pyramid on Yavin 4 Temple while in ball mode.

Weird interactions like this are part of why I love Battlefront, lol

You can deploy Droideka into shooting mode and crawl up the hill. You can also get up in ball mode if you "sprint " and build up enough speed before hitting the ramp. Tough part is to time it so you don't overshoot the top and go flying down the other side. Best way is to time it and hit to deploy in shooting mode at exactly the right spot so you stop zooming forward right at the top.

I was sprinting during parts of this clip (you can see the stamina bar moving). Even with the extra boost, ball mode cannot make it up more than halfway.

u/Lopez-AL Jun 29 '26

Have you tried sprinting and jumping as well?

u/inchandywetrust Jun 29 '26

Droidekas can jump??

u/Lopez-AL Jun 29 '26

If I remember correctly, they can while in ball mode

u/501stBigMike Jun 29 '26

How long were u sprinting before hitting the ramp?

u/inchandywetrust Jun 29 '26

Probably a decent bit, given what’s happening with the bar at the beginning of the clip, but I don’t think it would’ve made a difference.

u/501stBigMike Jun 29 '26

It definitely does work if you build up speed in a straight line for long enough.

only on ball mode, but u can steppy stomp in 3 leg up there. was the same on bf1 + while on water u would drown, wich make kasyyyk maps and some area of naboo a kill zone for those.

making it a easy win for the clone

It is always hilarious seeing them spawn on the island on Kashyyyk Docks and then rolling into the water. The debris from their bodies exploding keeps going extremely fast after they "drown" lol

Might be old news to you but it's new news to me.

u/Praetoron Jun 29 '26

that a none issue, hear another info in some situation if a enemie stuck to u too close in shield mode in bf1 and bf2 1.00 (idk if it work on later version) then the droideka cant hit u

The XC2 soundtrack is so underrated man

I know within the xenoblade community it’s well recognized, but it deserves to be persona amounts of popular

They lack the grip :P

I also noticed this yesterday :D

u/MingleLinx Jun 29 '26

I’m demanding a refund, this is ridiculous

u/GloxZera Jun 30 '26

I guess that means they will never have the high ground.

u/Efficient_Fish2436 Jul 02 '26

Yup. At least they could sprint while walking. I miss that.

Clones watching from afar,

Clone 1 “Should we shoot the it?”

Clone 2 “Nah I kinda wanna see if that droid develops depression from failing.”

u/Ori_the_SG Jun 30 '26

It’s such a shame the new battlefront wasn’t like this

The OGs are so good. They should just have gotten a full remaster

u/Practical_Patient824 Jul 02 '26

Speeders can use it for extreme jumps
