How to unlock the The Interceptor achievement in STAR WARS Battlefront II - Definitive Guide
You get killstreak every time you shot down at least two enemy starfighters in one life (kills of both player and AI spacecrafts count, and I guess kills of ground troops do too, assists, on the other hand, do not). Next kill in said life is counted as another killstreak. That means you can get The Interceptor achievement as soon as your 21st kill. But there is no need for you to get all the kills in one sitting.
I was able to get the achievement in just one round of Starfighter Assault as the defender on Ryloth/Lucrehulk map (32 eliminations/23 kills). During the first phase stay between battleship arms near shield generators and shoot down every bomber you see and every fighter that is preoccupied with shield generators and doesn't pay enough attention to the opposition.
It's my first guide. Please let me know if there is something that needs to be corrected. And sorry for poor grammar and any grammatical errors. Happy hunting!
This trophy is specific to the “Interceptor” ship class so make sure to pick that when going for this trophy. Although you can pick ships in Galactic Assault and Strike with battle points, your safest bet is to play Starfighter Assault for this trophy because you’ll be in a ship the whole game.
A kill streak is when you kill multiple enemies in one live. Kill assists don’t count towards this trophy, but fortunately if you get a kill streak of more than two those kills actually will count towards the trophy. In theory you could obtain this trophy in a single kill streak of 20, but realistically it will take you a few. Note that killing AI ships counts for this trophy as well so if you’re having difficulties killing other players, go to the outlines of the map and focus on AI.
To make things a bit easier on yourself you can obtain or craft star cards to e.g. upgrade your damage output, survivability or rate of fire. These can be very helpful depending on playstyle.
You can check your progress towards this trophy in the main menu. Go to the “Career” tab, then choose “Starfighters” and find the “Hunt Down the Enemy” milestone.
