How to unlock the Do. Or Do Not. There is no Try. achievement in STAR WARS Battlefront II - Definitive Guide

As of the March 2018 update, all heroes are unlocked. Therefore, no more grinding. Just play a match of Heroes and Villains, switching characters when you die until you've used them all, then do so again after it switches sides. The tracker updates as soon as you use each hero, so as soon as you load in as the final one the achievement should pop.

Confirmed by Reborn Insanity. Thanks, man. :)

I can confirm that all characters are unlocked and you can simply switch between them during Hero vs Villains.

As I already have the achievement, I have no way of knowing. If somebody could comment when you find out I'd appreciate it. I'll edit the solution either way and give credit where it's due.

I've played with all the launch heroes/villains, but my achievement tracker is stuck at 92%. Any idea what I might be missing? Is it glitched still?

Mine was at 85% Played as Darth Vader. Moved to 92% Then I played as Palpatine and it popped. The description is misleading because you have to play as all launch Heroes and Villains. Not just heroes.

Thankfully due to the power of reddit the heroes have been drastically reduced. This is looking like a 25/30 hours investment now.

There are a total of 14 heroes. Not all are available straight away.

Unlocked: the following heroes are unlocked right away
Boba Fett
Bossk
Han Solo
Kylo Ren
Darth Maul
Yoda
Lando Calrissian
Rey

The following need unlocking via credits
Chewbacca 10,000
Darth Vader 15,000
Iden Versio 5,000
Emperor palpatine 10,000
Leia Organa 10,000
Luke Skywalker 15,000

Playing multiplayer, completing arcade games ( at least the first time) and challenges will get you credits. Challenges are the biggest and best source of income, focus on these to reduce time on this chievo.

Reddit user TheHotterPotato crunched the numbers to calculate that players are (at least for now) getting around 275 credits per each match of roughly 11 minutes, which would have meant around 40 hours of constant gameplay (not counting challenges and other credit sources) to unlock the pricier heroes. With EA’s adjustments, that should now be around 10 hours."

That means 70 hours rather than like 300+. That's passable.

Without loot box help, it looks like a 40 hour or so grind for 60,000 credits. Just FYI.

Wow if reddit is true then it will take about 175 hrs just to grind the heroes - and by then you won't have unlocked any other star card to progress your class... woah....

You guys also need to take into consideration that a lot of the credits earned early on are through challenges. Apparently you can earn a little over 30k via challenges, but they are one time payouts. After that's been awarded, you have to grind away the rest. According to math and averages, it will most likely take over 100 hours to unlock all of them, and that's if you complete ignore loot boxes and save up for heroes.

10 hours per 10,000 credits seems to be the average subtract about 30-40K credits from all the easy credits you get early on plus daily credits and you get the an idea of the grind.

Angrymagnox around 8 hours. Like xIx EDGE xIx says though a lot come from challenges early on.

Looks like they've lowered it, Chewbacca is now 10,000, Vader 15,000, Emperor 10,000, Iden Versio 5,000, Leia 10,000, Luke 15,000

Another update; according to PowerPyx's trophy guide and roadmap, this should come more or less naturally on the way to Level 50. Additionally, someone on TA has this achievement with approx 25 hours played so it's likely to not be difficult or grindy at all anymore :)

Nice try, EA. The community wins.

Yeah I got a few crates with my credits but if I had focused solely on heroes I'd have just about all of them. It pays to do as many challenges as you can to reduce the time.

I only need 1 more hero. It really does not take long at all. I am only level 13.
A lot of that was playing starfighter though and it's xp gain is poop.

It helps to spend scrap on the level 1 cards you do not have. That's 200 credits for each extra you get in a box.

I was able to get all of my heroes and villains in 35 hours of playtime. I prioritized heroes and villains and bought no loot boxes. There might be a more efficient way but way less than 70 hours.

Might want to amend the guide. In its current state, it only takes maybe 25-30 hours to amass enough credits to unlock all heroes.

I thought that mine was stuck at 85% after I finally bought Chewie and played him. Then I replayed someone in a regular MP match and it jumped to 92%. I guess I just have to try everyone again in regular matches.

Just to confirm, you DO NOT need to pllay as the two DLC characters Finn and Phasma for this to unlock, just those listed in the solution

He was removed because he was very overpowered after a recent hotfix. They removed him until he is fixed.

The 'hardest' part of this achievement is to get the credits for these heroes. So better don't buy any lootboxes and save your credits for the characters. You don't have to do this with hero ships.
After you've bought them all, the fastest way to play them all is the Heroes vs Villains gamemode. Of course this works with every other mode too except the arcade mode because you have to do this online.
Choose your hero and play until you die and then choose the next one, until you played them all. After that the next game will start and you should be able to play as the dark/light side, depending on what side you played as in the first round. Do the same here again and the achievement will unlock.

Wanted to write a guide as at March 2021 as actually doing this achievement felt easier than the below solutions hinted at. :)

- Go to:
Play > Multiplayer > Heroes and Villains > Heroes Vs Villains
- You need to play a round with each side, for a total of 14 characters.
+ Dark Side:
Boba Fett
Bossk
Kylo Ren
Darth Maul
Darth Vader
Iden Versio
Emperor Palpatine
+ Light Side:
Han Solo
Yoda
Lando Calrissian
Rey
Chewbacca
Leia Organa
Luke Skywalker
- Just start with the character in the far left and work to the right. The first 7 on each team are the release characters you need.
- You can press A when you die to change character, this works fine.

I got this in 2 games (one as each team).

This is my first guide here, so if you vote negative, please let me know how I can improve.

Thanks and hope this helps. :)

The characters you need to play as are;

* Luke Skywalker
* Princess Leia
* Han Solo
* Chewbacca
* Lando Calrissian
* Yoda
* Rey

* Darth Vader
* Emperor Palpatine
* Boba Fett
* Bossk
* Iden Versio
* Darth Maul
* Kylo Ren

As of writing, you can easily cross off the Prequel and Sequel era heroes in Co-Op mode; which lets you rack up points easily and only have to compete with 2 other players to get the heroes you need. I usually use the Heavy class with the explosive sentry star cards and cards to reduce cooldown- then hunker down at a point and mow down the AI bots for easy points. Play as the Republic and knock out Yoda and Chewie, swap to CIS for Maul and Bossk. Switch to a sequel map and knock out Rey and Ren.

The easiest way to get the OT cast right now is to just hop into Heroes vs Villains, which should let you pop the trophy after only a couple more matches.

This achievement is straight forward and easy to get since the update that unlocks all of the Heroes for everyone to play.

NOTE: the achievement says play all
heroes
BUT you are required to play all the launch (When the game first come out) villains too.

The best and easiest way to get this achievement fast is by going into a Heroes vs Villains game and every time you die switch character. Make sure you stay in the lobby after the game ends so you switch sides so you can play the heroes or villains that you're missing!

LAUCH HEROES
- Luke Skywalker
- Han Solo
- Yoda
- Rey
- Chewbacca
- Leia Organa
- Lando Calrissian

LAUCH VILLIANS
- Boba Fett
- Bossk
- Darth Vader
- Emperor Palpatine
- Iden Versio
- Kylo Ren
- Darth Maul

Although the trophy only states “Heroes” you’ll have to play as all of the “Villains” as well. There are seven on each side. For the light side you get to pick from these characters:

  • Luke Skywalker
  • Leia Organa
  • Chewbacca
  • Han Solo
  • Lando Calrissian
  • Rey
  • Yoda


For the Dark side you get to pick from these characters:

  • Darth Vader
  • Emperor Palpatine
  • Iden Versio
  • Boba Fett
  • Bossk
  • Kylo Ren
  • Darth Maul


You can play as the heroes and villains in any game mode, but the Heroes vs. Villains mode is the easiest because you’ll always play as one of them as opposed to having to buy one with battle points during a game. You simply have to play as each one of them to obtain this trophy.
