Star Wars Battlefront 2 features a progression system that allows you to unlock health boosts, stat buffs, and more for your favorite units, Star Wars heroes, and villains from the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies in the multiplayer modes.

Unlike Battle Points, which are earned in battles to unlock more powerful units, heroes, and villains, the Star Cards you earn are permanent and yours to keep. As a result, you are rewarded for your time and effort for playing the multiplayer games instead of them only being tied to random crate unlocks . Here's how to unlock and upgrade Star Cards in Star Wars Battlefront 2.

How To Unlock Star Cards In Star Wars Battlefront 2

The Star Cards consist of Boost Cards and Ability Cards. The Boost Cards provide health boosts, reduced damage, increased stealth, increased Battle Points, and more. The Ability Cards provide new weapons, health regeneration, and improvements to the unit's recharging between kills.

You must earn skill points by leveling up your favorite units, heroes, and villains in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. When you level up a character or unit, you earn a skill point specifically for that character. You can then exchange these skill points for Star Cards in the Collection menu. To unlock the Skill Cards, use the following steps:

  • Once you have earned enough skill points, select the class or heroes you have leveled up in multiplayer modes.
  • You can now unlock the Boost or Ability Star Cards with the padlock symbol on them.
  • Press the A button on the Xbox or the X button on PlayStation to equip your new cards in one of the three slots.

Check Your Crates

Check the Timed Crate Challenges on the home screen. Some crates have Ability Cards as well as cosmetics tied to specific units in Star Wars Battlefront 2. Sometimes, all you're required to do is play any mode for 10 minutes or more.

How To Upgrade Star Cards In Star Wars Battlefront 2

Rather than unlocking more Star Cards, consider upgrading the ones you have already. Upgrading cards and focusing more on health and defense boosts at first will ensure that your favorite units and heroes are better equipped for battle. Use the following steps to upgrade your Star Cards in Battlefront 2:

  • When you've earned enough skill points, head back to the Collections menu.
  • Select the character or unit you've leveled up.
  • Then, select your already unlocked Star Card and press Square on the PlayStation or X on the Xbox to open the Upgrade menu.
  • You can then upgrade the Star Card from Common to Epic.

That's how to unlock and upgrade Star Cards for your units and the roster of Heroes and Villains from the Star Wars saga.
