With Star Wars: Battlefront's early October open beta drawing near, the developer reveals new gameplay details of what you can play in the open beta. Drop Zone is a 8v8 mode sets on Tatooine, Hoth, Sullust, and Endor, where Rebel and Empire teams fight to capture and control these pods.
When you locate a drop pod's landing site, make your way to it and trigger the short claim process. Your team will win if it captures five pods, or control the majority of them after the 10-minute match is up. If a pod is constantly changing possession with no team able to defend it long enough to claim it, another pod will be sent down to break the stalemate. Then, there would be two pods that the teams have to gain control over.
Drop Zone is all about action and quick thinking, forcing Rebels and Imperial troops to always be on their feet. Though captured pods need to be defended, static players standing in a cluster too close to their pod always run the risk of being hit by explosives or a well-placed Orbital Strike.
You can read the full introduction of Drop Zone at the official site. Apart from Drop Zone, you can play 40-player massive mode Walker Assault and co-op Survival Mission mode. Don't miss the open beta in October.
