Tired of heroes dominating games? Stinger Pistol.
It's not a complete solution, but it is a solution. The Stinger Pistol hits heroes much harder than it does troopers, and it continues doing damage after it hits. Purple it up and it does even more.
If there were 2 or 3 players in every game who grabbed a Specialist with a Purple Stinger every time a hero caused trouble, it would make a big difference for everyone.
EA isn't going to stop catering to heroes, isn't going to take the heroes down a notch -- so we'll have to do it ourselves.
Rally around the humble Stinger, soldiers! Down with the demigods who think these games belong to them!

And hitting that headshot with the NT on a sniping Leia on Crait is also great. Most of them are pretty good at strafing a lot when they can be shot at to make it much harder to hit them, but there are some who will just stand in the mine ha far thinking they're out of reach, u til you hit three conscutive headshots and kill them in a matter of a couple of seconds.

Always equip the stinger pistol if I play GA.
It's also fun to use the Repulsor Cannon - knock them over and then melee them to death (With the stealth card increase melee damage - managed this a few times!)

That Specialist rework was disappointing.
I usually set up a trap of two mines, stinger pistol to get their attention, run behind the mines for a large chunk of damage, roll, melee. You wouldn’t believe how often this works
Behold, the power of the stinger pistol. (Skip to :56)

Leia Improvements
Heroes vs Villains Improvements

I will not stop complaining until DICE update Leia's Hoth skin's sideburns and add some for Rey!!
I LOLd when you hunted him down and added a few more hits while he was hiding and chilling out. This might be sole goal tonight if I play, just walking around hero hunting
It is fun, and if you have more members, especially with the squad system, and with a coordinated team, they will be losing health lol.
I love how the Assault facepalmed, but realized I killed Vader.

And well done mentioning the tag, I can't believe I forgot to!
Thats a great combo. Get the Heavy stocked up on survivability-enhancers, have him get the hero's attention... meanwhile the Specialist is in the other direction Stinging away. Ideally with Stealth so the hero can't see where it's coming from. Rinse, repeat as needed.
It's refreshing to see you strategizing against something you dislike, versus just complaining about it and how it should be removed (or alternate modes, etc).
I give 2 thumbs up! Keep it up! And I look forward to trying this myself.
Bubble for right card. Nothing else is really good vs heroes
Stealth for sneaky and because if you get the drop, you can win a fistfight with most blaster heroes (or even bad sabers)
Left card I'm torn between ranged efficiency of Stinger vs lulz you get from ragdolling Heroes with Repulsor Cannon
Thanks dude. I tried the repulsor cannon when I was still leveling up the specialist. It's fun, but wish it did damage. I think most people probably don't even know what hit them since its not used much.
Fast forward to the last phase I had enough points for the Enforcer, and I went after some heroes... That didn't turn out well, but later I spawned in as an Aerial and hit one of them (well maybe a different hero) with my rocket, and I think I finished them with the lasers [one of them was already low on health, also I go about thinking that I have a better chance against heroes using the Enforcer, but both my kills {non consecutive, the first one happened long ago} were with an Aerial... Insert "ironic..." quote here). Also I spawned in as an ATT twice during phase 3.
Sorry if my story was too off-topic.
Never forget
It's not what they advertise...on xbox 1. more points if you run & gun objectives as a specialist ...i.e. NT w/ion. They [dev] want players to use the periphery tools then make them worthy. I'm 1800 hrs in, lvl 70 no quips, no tears. Truth seeker....
Hey good post man. With the upcoming squad spawn, I foresee new threads popping up about coordinated antihero squad builds. This is only the beginning.
Mmmmm. Now that sounds tasty
Also, just FYI - if you use the NT with Disruptor, you can damage heroes through/around blocks. I'm not sure if they can deflect it, but even if they can just aim at the ground right below their feet and shoot, you'll deal a nice 67 damage to them. It might not sound like much, but that's 258 damage in the four (I think) shots you get with it, or quite often they'll retreat (with their block down) so you can hit them with your stinger a few times. Not the most useful strategy as it does mean you're less effective just running around against infantry, but if you're going specifically for a hero who keeps blocking then it's perfectly valid.
Also, does anyone know if deflected stinger shots deal the DoT? I'm guessing not.

I loooove watching people running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to “get out” of the nonexistent acid cloud.
Plus, melting Heroes/Villains is always fun. Go ahead, Palpy, and waste that Chain Lightning heal.

That's why I posted this thread, and the same topic in another thread months ago, etc. The more people who know about this and have it on their mind, the more Specialists we'll have spawning in with Stingers and we can rid the game of some of these entitled heroes that are everywhere.
"Down with the Demigods!"
Ive taken Palps down multiple times with this. Just gotta time it right when he finishes an attack run. Chewie Id imagine would be far easier since he cant jump high.
Nah Chewie is a huge target and even tho he has up to 800 health his regen is nowhere near Palpatine’s. Stingers eat him alive
Thankfully I've learned to remedy this by just sticking to heroes that are actually good in GA like Finn, Yoda, and Iden.
So your stinger pistols will ultimately stop nothing, and I rest peacefully knowing that the strongest heroes will always prevail at the opposite end of a pea shooter barrel.
\⧹If you happen to have ANY ideas for any hero you desire to have in Battlefront 2, Let me know in a DM!⧸/
How to make Every Hero Viable in Battlefront 2
Don’t get me wrong, Palpatine is still good, but with successive nerfs and his latest fixes along with his inability to lock lightning at close range makes him a liability on most maps now. Bossk is the ultimate Dark Side objective player, and Yoda is the ultimate defensive counter.
lol yea i got 4 heroes last night on hoth with specialist melee
Yoda is by far the best hero in GA, he's unmatched.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
