Unvaulted and upcoming weapons
Epic Games
have resurrected the fan-favorite Star Wars guns, like the E-11 Blaster (Stormtrooper standard), F-11 (First Order variant), and the DL-15 Heavy Rifle, which is ideal for suppressing fire.
The unvaulted weapons balance the nostalgia with a lot of practicality, ensuring they fit seamlessly within the new meta.
Later in the month, some fresh gear drops, such as Chewbacca's Bowcaster (available from May 15), will charge shots for the explosive bursts. The Mandalorian-themed weapons, available from May 22, include the Amban Sniper for the stealthy takedowns. When paired with the returning Jetpack, it will be perfect for the hit-and-run strategies.

Pro tip:
Land at the first Order Bases early on for snagging Mythic F-11D Blaster of Captain Phasma. It overheats slower, but it does mark you on the enemy's radar.
Make sure you avoid multiple Lightsabers, as their powers do not stack. Instead, pair one with the long-range blaster for the balanced loadouts. Drop early in the quieter zones like the
Vader Samurai
to farm the upgrades without a contest. Then, with the right combo, dominate the Galactic Battle and its ever-evolving warzone.

Epic Games wins partial victory in Australian court against Google and Apple
Epic Games, the company behind the popular online game Fortnite, on Tuesday won a partial victory in an Australian court. The case was brought by U.S. billionaire chief executive Tim Sweeney, who claimed that Google and Apple engaged in anti-competitive conduct in running their app stores. Federal Court Justice Jonathan Beach upheld key parts of Epic's claim that the tech giants breached Australian competition laws by misusing their market power against app developers and using restrictive trade practices. Google and Apple 's dominance of the app market had the effect of substantially lessening competition and breached Australian law, Beach found. But the judge rejected some of Epic's claim including that Google and Apple engaged in unconscionable conduct as defined by Australian law. Sweeney is also challenging Google and Apple's dominance in the app markets through the courts in the United States and Britain. The litigation began in August 2020 when Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store expelled Fortnite because Epic installed a direct payment feature in the extraordinarily popular game. The court ruled both companies pressured app developers including Epic through contracts and technology to sell their products through the two dominant app stores. Epic said that the ruling will allow its Epic Games Store and Fortnite to come to Apple's operating system iOS in Australia. 'An Australian court just found that Apple and Google abuse their control over app distribution and in-app payments to limit competition,' Epic said in a statement. 'There are 2,000+ pages of findings that we'll need to dig into to fully understand the details," the statement added. "This is a WIN for developers and consumers in Australia!' Apple said the company 'faces fierce competition in every market where we operate.' 'We welcome the Australian court's rejection of some of Epic's claims, however, we strongly disagree with the Court's ruling on others,' Apple said in a statement. Google said it would review the judgment. Google and Apple could potentially appeal the ruling before the Federal Court full bench. 'We disagree with the court's characterisation of our billing policies and practices, as well as its findings regarding some of our historical partnerships, which were all shaped in a fiercely competitive mobile landscape on behalf of users and developers,' a Google statement said. Beach has yet to release a 952-page judgment on Epic's case against Apple or his 914-page judgment on the case against Google. The judge gave an oral summary of his findings during a 90-minute hearing Tuesday. Lawyers will return to court on a date yet to be set to argue what Epic is entitled to in terms of damages.
