EA has launched their companion app for Star Wars: Battlefront and it could get you a head start on getting the equipment you’ll need to to take the fight to or against authority over the galaxy with a mini-game included in the app.
Base Command is a tactical card game in which you must build and defend a Rebel base from oncoming Imperial forces. You can use the cards to call all sorts of perks and weapons to your aid like X-Wings or Thermal Detonators. Much more importantly however is that you can gain credits in the game that you can then use in the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront.
Credits are one half of a system in Star Wars: Battlefront that allows you to unlock and strengthen the available armory you can take into either side of your battle in the game. You can earn credits through Base Command by playing and progressing in Star Wars: Battlefront alongside an experience system that offers you access to higher tier equipment. Needless to say, if you’re interested in having as much of an edge on the competition as you can, it might be in your best interest to check out Base Command.
The app is available on iOS and Android devices through their respective app stores, as well as on PC via the Base Command page on the Star Wars Battlefront website. Star Wars Battlefront is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC next week on November 17th. You’ll need a valid EA account to port credits over from the app to the game.
