"The Empire reels from the humiliating defeat at the Battle of Endor. As night falls, the Imperial survivors are about to learn that their Ewok nightmare has only just begun..."

— In-game description

"As an Ewok, your hunter's instinct and familiarity with the moon will give you an advantage over the Empire. Retake the forest!"

"As an Imperial Stormtrooper, your superior gear and numbers should make surviving until the morning's extraction a trivial concern."

Ewok Hunt is a limited time, 20 player game mode in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II that was added in the Night on Endor Update. It pits Ewoks against a team of Imperial stormtroopers who are awaiting their morning extraction off Endor.

Overview

In this mode, player-controlled Ewoks are trying eliminate a team of Imperial Stormtroopers before their extraction shuttle arrives. The mode begins with only two players as Ewoks, the rest Stormtroopers. As more and more Stormtroopers are "lost to the forest," now spawning as Ewoks themselves, more Ewoks are on the field, increasing the Ewok team's chance of success.

Ewoks can utilize their three unique abilities to help them accomplish total victory. Additionally, besides being in third-persion view, Ewok players have an easier time navigating the Ewok Village map since they have a different, brighter map lighting than their Stormtrooper counterparts. The Stormtroopers are in total darkness, relying on their weapon's flashlights they have and any light provided by Ewok lampposts.

The team of Stormtroopers must work together and try to survive until morning. Each Stormtrooper starts with a standard E-11, however, they only have one ability: to turn on/off their weapon's flashlight, which periodically requires to be cooled down. Special weapon caches can be found in certain areas of the map that allow players to exchange their E-11 for a DLT-19 with unlimited flashlight and a Fire Grenade.

It takes an average of seven minutes for the extraction shuttle to arrive. In that time, the Stormtroopers must try to fend off the increasing number of Ewoks with the dwindling amount of teammates that remain. They must also try to avoid any traps that are scattered throughout the map, which can be triggered by walking through a knee-high trip wire. When the shuttle finally does touch down, all surviving troops must try to make it to the shuttle before it departs. Not doing so in the allotted time, about ten seconds, results in the player not being credited as having survived despite not dying to the Ewoks.
