Vehicles

The following vehicles are available on Maz's Castle for Galactic Assault using Battle Points, unless otherwise stated:

First Order

Resistance

Trivia

Maz's Castle was faithfully recreated in Battlefront II exactly as how it was seen in The Force Awakens, as the developer team was able to visit the set itself.^{[citation needed]}
Maz's Castle was a map available in the Battlefront II beta.
This map is one of the few multiplayer maps that appears in the campaign without any significant changes or additions from how it is seen in multiplayer.
There is a chicken near the East Turbolaser that always flees from players. At one point, a bug caused this chicken not to flee from players, but this was quickly resolved in the Squad System Update.

Updates

Battle on Scarif Update

Resilient skin added, and the way to obtain it is to "discover the secret on Takodana". A secret room has been added to the map.

BB Update

Added to Capital Supremacy and Instant Action.

2.0 Patch

In Galactic Assault, re-worked the spawns in Phase 2, moving them closer to the objectives.

In Galactic Assault, the price of the AT-ST has been increased from 1500 to 2500.
