The Stormtrooper with a colored pauldron is a body Appearance for the Galactic Empire in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront that was added as part of the Death Star Update. It is a variant of the standard Stormtrooper Appearance.

The armor of the Pauldron Stormtrooper changes depending on the planet that is being played on.

Trivia

 * The colors of the pauldrons represent rank: black for troopers, white for corporals, orange for sergeants, and red for officers.
 * The tradition of stormtroopers wearing pauldrons was inspired by the Galactic Republic's clone troopers.
 * On the various Hoth maps, if the player does not have the Jump Pack Star Card equipped, the player's back will have a battery pack equipped instead. This closely resembles the battery packs attached to Snow Troopers, which heat their suit and helmet up to protect them from the cold environment. The reason these battery packs appear on Pauldron Stormtroopers and Snow Troopers is that without them, they would freeze to death quickly.
 * Strangely, the Scout Trooper, Shadow Trooper, and Shock Trooper do not come equipped with a battery pack on maps with a cold environment. Mentioned earlier, without a battery pack they would freeze to death in cold environments.
