Stormtrooper

**Stormtroopers**are the main infantry of the Galactic Empire in DICE's *Star Wars Battlefront*. They also appear in *Star Wars Battlefront II* as the Empire's Assault class.

## *Star Wars Battlefront*

### Overview

All players start out with helmeted Stormtrooper skins for free. They are the only infantry for the Empire that change their armor on different planets. The game originally had helmetless stormtroopers, but this option was removed due to fan complaint and the skins were replaced by the Death Star Trooper and Imperial Officer instead.

In Missions mode, they are the basic enemy foot soldiers and do not pose much of a threat in any way. Being more or less cannon fodder, they are rather weak individually and are not particularly hard to kill in most situations.

That being said, stormtroopers are **not** to be underestimated. Their sheer numerical superiority more than makes up for each individuals' rather lackluster performance and they can easily overwhelm the player if caution is not taken, especially in Survival.

They also appear in Skirmish on Walker Assault, where they move and act largely in the same as they do in Missions with some performance improvement at higher difficulties.

### Appearances

Stormtroopers wear different armor on different planets and are the only Imperial units to do so:
