Gamers use progression droid and elastic for credits in Battlefront II

The progression system in Battlefront II invites tinkerers to get creative to collect credits without actually playing. One gamer designed a robot to move the controller, another uses rubber bands.

Now that Star Wars: Battlefront II has no microtransactions for a while, players will have to grind credits for progress through the game, a task that can be very time-consuming. Reddit user lowberg found something on that: he designed the Progression Droid. He used an Arduino Uno, two microservos and some wood and popsicle sticks. The first servo randomly taps the joysticks, the other occasionally presses X to enter a new game. The user claims to have made the robot as a joke.

Reddit user F0ngen claims that placing two rubber bands around the joysticks is also enough for movement to make the game think that a player is actually active, although this trick is not clear how ‘the player’ behaves with a new player. game adds.

It happens more often that players resort to technical solutions to grind or level up without having to play themselves, something that is not appreciated by other gamers and what studios are trying to counter.
