InStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, there are things the player might not know that they could do. These mechanics might improve the experience of the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis, as hebattles through the Empire and the Bedlam Raidersin the galaxy far, far away.
8Hidden Climbing Mechanics
The climbing mechanics inStar Wars Jedi: Survivorare more intricate than in the previous game. Respawn Entertainment took their time to stop Cal Kestis from randomly falling off of climbable objects, or missing ledges by an inch. Characters have a double jump, a force dash, as well as much faster climbing hands.
However, there’s something the game does not tell its players, which is that they can speed up climbing by pressing the jump button. This will allow Cal to leap upwards on the climbing wall to save some time. Players will also note that they don’t need to hold the right trigger, as Cal will automatically grab climbable surfaces.
7Reset Skills
There’s a far more delicate skill system inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. With 5lightsaber stance styles, survival skills, and force abilities,Star Wars Jedi: Survivorfeatures a revised skill system. Considering there are so many skills to obtain, some players might not have the XP to obtain them all, soStar Wars Jedi: Survivorgives players the option to experiment.
By holding Triangle or Y, players will be able to reset all skill points, allowing them to re-invest their skills and see what works for them. Players can reset skills to check out one of the lightsaber stances with full upgrades, or to prioritize their survival skills.
6You Can Pet BD-1
There’s a grand adventure inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, but sometimes, players just want to pet the droid. BD-1 made a strong impression in the first game, and as Cal’s best buddy and valuable companion, it’s only right that Calgives BD-1 the attention that he deservesto further show just how lovable this brave and loyal friend is.
