'Star Wars Battlefront 2' Gear Coming To Other EA Titles
DICE and EA are releasing free "Star Wars Battlefront 2" Gear for "Battlefield 1," "FIFA 18," "NHL 18," and "NBA Live 18" to commemorate the game's release.
"Battlefield 1" players will get the lion's share of awesome DLC with Totokia War Club in a special Battlepack as revealed by EA's recent blog post. The war club was developed in Fiji and features a heavy spiked head with a beak meant to puncture holes in people's skulls.
Coincidentally, the Totokia War Club also served as the inspiration for the design of the Gaderffii or gaffi stick used by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine in "Star Wars: A New Hope" according to historian Bruno Claessens. Often referred to as the "pineapple club" due to its spiked head, the club is actually designed for the pandanus fruit or Screwpine.

The club saw action on the battlefields of World War 1 making it a fitting addition to the game. All players who log in beginning Nov. 8 will receive the gear up until Dec. 31, 2019, giving players more than enough time to get the limited edition freebie.
Sadly though, the freebies for "FIFA 18," "NHL 18," and "NBA Live 18" aren't as exciting or full of backstory as the Totokia War Club. Instead, players will be given jerseys based off of the emblems of Inferno Squad, an Imperial special forces commando unit that is the main focus of the "Star Wars Battlefront 2" single-player campaign.
"FIFA 18" players will be able to get the freebie on Nov. 7 to 28 while "NBA Live 18" players will be able to get home and away kits in addition to Inferno Squad-themed Live Events to unlock limited-time gear from Nov. 7 to 14. Unfortunately, "NHL 18" players were required to log-in to their HUT accounts before 11:59 p.m. PST / 2:59 a.m. EST on October 31 to get their jersey according to the blog post.
"Star Wars Battlefront 2" is set to be released this Nov. 17 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
