CR-2 Blaster- can shred the opponents like the SMG.
A280-CFE Blaster Rifle
BARM-ST12 Scatter Blaster- it's a perfect close-range weapon.

DLT-19 Blaster Rifle- it's a perfect close-to-medium range weapon.
IQA-11 Marksman Rifle- can snipe the target from afar.
Thermal Imploder- the grenade-like tool can suck the enemies into the explosive vortex. It is perfect to flush out the campers.

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.

Rey Mysterio details double injury setback before WrestleMania 41
Image via WWE WWE legend Rey Mysterio has opened up about a pair of injuries that kept him out of action during WrestleMania 41, shedding light on his sudden removal from a planned singles match against El Grande Americano. The high-flying veteran was originally slated to face the masked alter ego of Chad Gable at the marquee event. However, on the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania, Mysterio suffered a torn groin and was pulled from the card. Speaking to Jim Varsallone in a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was also dealing with a busted eardrum at the time. Rey Mysterio keeps the heat on 'I'm actually still recovering from the injury I suffered just before WrestleMania - a torn groin and a busted eardrum. But I still love what I do,' said Mysterio, who was recently honored with the Legend Impact Award at the National Hispanic Media Coalition's Impact Gala. Rey Mysterio, Brenda Victoria Castillo talk National Hispanic MC Legend Impact Award, WWE, AAA, Dom The 49-year-old was replaced by Rey Fenix in the WrestleMania bout, where the babyface team - also featuring Dragon Lee. emerged victorious over American Made. Despite being sidelined, Mysterio's interview has kept him in the headlines, thanks to a light-hearted jab aimed at his on-screen son, Dominik Mysterio. While the injuries sidelined him physically, Mysterio remained sharp on the mic. During a rapid-fire segment in the same interview, he was asked if Dominik could ever surpass his legacy in AAA Wrestling. Without missing a beat, Rey leaned into their long-running WWE storyline: 'Dirty Dom? Dirty Dom needs a spanking with a chancla and a belt.' The culturally resonant quip, referencing a common Latino disciplinary tool, drew laughter from the hosts but also sent a clear message - the family feud is far from over. WWE x AAA: Could the rivalry spill into 'Worlds Collide'? The timing of Mysterio's comment is interesting, especially in the context of WWE's recent acquisition of AAA Wrestling, a historic move that opens doors for crossover rivalries and fresh storylines. The upcoming WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide event is being promoted as a celebration of global wrestling styles and legacies, with both Rey and Dominik Mysterio prominently featured in the early marketing campaigns. Dom Mysterio talks WWE Tampa Takeover, IC Win, Attitude Era, Judgment Day, Carlito, AAA, Omos, Miami Although Rey has not disclosed whether he'll be wrestling or appearing in a different capacity, fans are already speculating that the father-son feud could take center stage at the international showcase. Rey's deep roots in lucha libre and Dominik's current run as Intercontinental Champion present a compelling contrast, offering creative opportunities for a legacy vs. rebellion narrative to unfold on a bigger stage. Dominik, now firmly entrenched in his heel persona as part of The Judgment Day, has not shied away from provocation. In a separate interview, he boldly claimed to have already eclipsed his father's legacy in WWE and expressed a desire to 'sh** all over Rey Mysterio' in AAA as well. The comment raised eyebrows and further fueled fan interest in a possible in-ring confrontation. For now, both stars remain on separate paths - but in the world of professional wrestling, it often takes just one moment to bring everything crashing back together. Fans will be watching closely to see whether that moment arrives at Worlds Collide.
