Best cards for Assault in Battlefront 2 (2025)
One of the game's most beginner-friendly picks, together with Sentinel, the Assault class is perfect for those looking to dive into the flanks for key eliminations while staying mobile in Star Wars Battlefront 2. But as you might have realized from the second you entered your first multiplayer match, equipping the right cards can make a planet-sized difference. Here are the best assault cards and loadouts to use in Star Wars Battlefront 2 in 2025. Table of contents Marksman Assault Training Improved Thermal Detonator Recharge Vanguard Toughen Up The best Assault loadouts in Battlefront 2 Marksman Image by Destructoid The first card in our shortlist, Marksman, allows you to reset your weapon's heat gauge following each headshot elimination to stay in the fight for way longer. Scoring a headshot kill also decreases your gun's heat production by 40% (on Epic) until you are killed or overheat. You can unlock Marksman after reaching Assault level 10. Assault Training Image by Destructoid One of the first unlockable cards for the class, Assault Training adds a huge amount of survivability to your build by allowing you to get up to 40 health (on Epic) per kill performed. This, when paired with other elimination-focused cards such as Recharge Vanguard, allows you to go all out without reservations for as long as you remain lethal. Assault Training can be unlocked after reaching Assault level 2. Improved Thermal Detonator Image by Destructoid A favorite among the game's community, Improved Thermal Detonator boosts the effectiveness of your trusty grenade via an increase in blast radius and a cooldown decrease. I know this might seem simple, but in a game where taking hold of points is key and corridors are common, a large explosion can be all you need sometimes. Improved Thermal Detonator can be unlocked on level 2. Recharge Vanguard Image by Destructoid A must if you are looking to apply a run and gun playstyle, Recharge Vanguard allows you to get the most from your shotgun, with each elimination resetting the cooldown of all of your abilities. This sees the card become a premier pick in any ability-focused build. For example, pairing it with Toughen Up and the mentioned Improved Thermal Detonator will enable you to heal non-stop while raising hell on the battlefield. You can unlock Recharge Vanguard on Assault level 10. Toughen Up Image by Destructoid Have you ever come face to face with an enemy that does not seem to die? Well, Toughen Up, aka the best Assault card in BF2, is most likely the reason for it via its ability to trigger continuous health regen at the press of a button. There's not much else to say here, as what can be better than pretty much coming back to life? You can unlock the ability card after reaching Assault level 20. The best Assault loadouts in Battlefront 2 Now that you know which cards to invest in, the best Assault loadouts in Battlefront 2 will always rely on Toughen Up as its foundation. Weapon-wise, I recommend going with the A280 or the CR-2. Both weapons are widely regarded as the class's best via their stability, semi/full-auto style, and ability to excel in long and close-range encounters, respectively. Here are the best card and mod combinations for each weapon: Best A280 loadout Cards: Toughen Up, Assault Training, and Recharge Vanguard / Improved Thermal Detonator / Bounty Hunter Mods: Improved Cooling and Improved Range Best CR-2 loadout Cards: Toughen Up, Assault Training, and Marksman / Improved Thermal Detonator / Bounty Hunter Mods: Reduced Recoil. Night Vision (if the map demands it). The sealed crate featuring the A280 can be acquired as a reward by killing 50 players with the Assault class. The CR-2 can then be acquired after scoring 200. To reach the milestones fast, we recommend taking on Cooperative Missions. The post Best cards for Assault in Battlefront 2 (2025) appeared first on Destructoid.
