While long range blasters might be good for sniper-centric players, those who love to run and gun might be more attune to the CA-87 with a more heavy, scattered, shotgun like blast.

The wide array of blasters available at the player's fingertips will really help to build a custom play-style. One example here is the fast-firing DLT-19 heavy blaster that can sustain heavy fire for a longer time. Finally, we have the heavy blasters that have more spread than other weapons, but on the other hand, maintains a solid damage rate across range. Then there are the close-to-medium range rifles such as the E-11 and A280C blaster rifles, which have high accuracy and a good damage rate. These work well on short to medium range and is an intriguing choice for modes like Drop Zone. First we have the standard blaster pistols, like the DH-17. When asked to describe the types of weapons we will see in the final release of Battlefront, weapon designers Christian Johannesén and Tommy Rydling had this to say: There are 11 primary blasters that can be divided into three core groups.

In the interview they discuss the focus on accuracy to the source material while building out a well balanced and diverse arsenal. EA Games published an interview this morning with the team developing the weapons in Star Wars Battlefront.
