Although EA’s Star Wars Battlefront II was released in 2017, there was a recent boom in downloads and player activity due to it being free on Epic Games Store for its weekly giveaway deals. It also helps EA changed the multiplayer progression, getting rid of its controversial pay-to-win multiplayer progression.

While new players are discovering how fun the game is, they might be disappointed when they realize EA stopped supporting the game in early 2020. This hasn’t stopped the modding community from adding their own tweaks and additions to the game. There are so many amazing mods available that heighten the Battlefront II experience that it is a wonder why EA didn’t include many of these ideas in updates or patches.

10 Grogu

Many Star Wars fans are upset that DICE and EA didn’t include any Mandalorian characters before support stopped for Battlefront II. A modder by the name nanobuds decided to change that and added everyone’s favorite baby to the game.

This mod is only a reskin as Grogu replaces BB-8 and uses the droid’s abilities. The character model even sticks to the ground as BB-8 would, instead of hovering in the air. Still, this is the perfect mod for fans who cannot get enough of the adorable child.

9 IG-11 Assassin Droid

Another character from the popular Disney+ TV show that fans wanted in the game was the IG-11 assassin droid. This mod replaces the ISB Agent Infiltrator reinforcement, but user EldeBH switches out the agent’s pistols with the weapons from the show.

Players can even use the Infiltrator’s star cards to their advantage as they play as IG-11. While this mod doesn’t significantly affect gameplay, it should appease fans who want Mandalorian content in Battlefront II.

8 Second Sister

A mod that will make many Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order fans happy is the Second Sister mod. Players will be blown away at how much detail was put on this character model, as it looks like she was taken straight from the action-adventure game.

The Inquisitor moves and acts like Darth Maul as the mod switches out the Sith Lord for her. Maul players will get acclimated to her quickly and might enjoy using her unique Inquisitor lightsaber.

7 BetterSabers X

The lightsabers in the vanilla version of the game are noticeably dim and not movie accurate. Thankfully, a mod has come along to fix the saber’s lighting and effects.

User Dulana57 noticed the lack of brightness in the game’s sabers and aimed to make them more vibrant for an immersive Star Wars experience. BetterSabers X also fixes issues with motion trail and adds more spark effects during combat. If players are dissatisfied with how sabers look in the base game, this mod will give them a more authentic Force user experience.

6 Improved Battle Droids

EA’s Battlefront II has a disturbing lack of CIS droids as they neglected to add MagnaGuards and Super Battle Droid variants from the Clone Wars. This mod not only adds these droids but others from obscure Star Wars games.

EldeBH made a mod that included more well-known droids such as the Aqua droid and the B2-HA droids from the television show, along with lesser-known ones like the B1-A droid from the Revenge of the Sith video game and the EG-5 Jedi Hunter from Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels. Fans of the droids need to get this mod immediately.

5 The Mandalorian

The most disappointing thing about EA pulling the plug on Battlefront II was that gamers never got an official Mandalorian hero with his own abilities, star cards, and weapons. The modding community decided that everyone’s favorite laconic bounty hunter needed to be in the game.

While there are many Mandalorian mods out there, Dulana57 crafted a mod that features Din Djarin’s full beskar armor set and his disruptor rifle and IB-94 blaster pistol. Players must be ready to sacrifice their Finn slot as this mod replaces the ex-Stormtrooper. Many Mandalorian fans won’t mind as this is the way.

4 Darth Nihilus

The original Battlefront II and EA’s reboot don’t feature characters from other iconic Star Wars games, like Starkiller from the Force Unleashed or any Sith Lords from The Old Republic games. User DeggialNox changes as the Darth Nihilus mod allows fans to play as one of the antagonists from Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

The catch is that Nihilus takes Count Dooku’s place in the roster, thus inheriting Dooku’s abilities and playstyle. Still, this is a great mod for fans of The Old Republic series.

3 Ahsoka Tano

It’s no surprise that many in the modding community are trying to recreate their favorite Star Wars characters that EA didn’t include in the game. One fan-favorite character that fans desperately wanted to see was Ahsoka Tano.

While there are many Ahsoka Tano mods available, nanobuds’ mod includes different skins such as her Padawan appearance, Mandalore apparel from Clone Wars’ final season, and her Rebels outfit. Plus, Ahsoka’s lightsaber color changes from green to blue, to white, with her different appearances. That’s an attention to detail that Ashoka Tano fans will appreciate.

2 LEGO Star Wars Battlefront II

Fans of both LEGO Star Wars and Battlefront are in for a treat as FegeeW’s Lego Star Wars Battlefront II mod merges both games into one. The mod is a work in progress as its earliest iteration only replaced heroes with their Lego variants.

Since then, FegeeW has included Lego Clone units and Stormtrooper skins, with more on the way that will completely change how the game looks. Players should keep an eye on this mod as more updates are bound to come.

1 Instant Action Prequel Trilogy

One of the greatest complaints fans have of Battlefront II is that it does not include that much content from the Clone Wars era. What if a mod did a complete overhaul on the game only to include content from the prequels?

This game-changing mod from PT IA’s Dev Team includes characters like Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, Captain Rex, Jango Fett, Pre Vizsla with the Darksaber, and many more. Instant Action Prequel Trilogy also adds Clone Shocktroopers and Flametroopers, and Ahsoka Tano’s 332nd Company clone battalion. Clone Wars fans should download this mind-blowing mod as soon as possible.
