Changes: Jakku: Graveyard of Giants

Revision as of 09:23, 3 February 2020

Graveyard of Giants is a large land map set on Jakku in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront. It can be played in Fighter Squadron, Supremacy, Turning Point, and Walker Assault.

It was added as part of the Battle of Jakku DLC.

Overview

Graveyard of Giants is a very large, open map, which makes it great for sniping as well as aerial combat. There is a crashed blockade runner in the center of the map. Faring as a lightsaber hero will prove difficult due to vulnerability to air attacks. The Jump Pack is great for getting around on this map and avoiding conflict.

Graveyard of Giants takes place on the desert planet of Jakku. Like other maps, fulfilling certain requirements triggers a background event. For this map, if the Rebels gain a quick advantage over the Empire (such as taking several control points in quick succession in Supremacy), the Super Star Destroyer in the background will crash to the surface, causing the ground to shake.

In Fighter Squadron, players cannot fly into the crashed Imperial Star Destroyer.

Trivia

The Super Star Destroyer (SSD) that crashes in the background is actually called the Ravager and was the last SSD used by the Empire.
- This SSD is subsequently featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and is the Destroyer that Rey and Finn piloting the Millennium Falcon flew into trying to evade First Order TIE fighters.

+==Overview==
-Graveyard of Giants takes place on the desert planet of [[Jakku]]. The map takes place during the Battle of Jakku which happened 369 days after the Battle of Endor. Due to the immense scale of this battle there were many casualties on both sides (the [[New Republic/DICE|New Republic]] and remnants of the [[Galactic Empire/DICE|Galactic Empire]]). Among these casualties is the last Imperial Super Star Destroyer ever seen in the line of duty, the ''Ravager''. The ''Ravager'' can be seen going down in game and the wreckage of it is seen in ''The Force Awakens''.
