The Best Dual Specs in Star Wars Zero Company: 6 Combinations That Really Work

Star Wars: Zero Company becomes much more interesting when operators are no longer defined by a single specialization. The second slot is where a good build can suddenly become very annoying - usually for the enemy, sometimes for yourself when it comes to planning.

Dual specialization isn't just about choosing two classes you like and hoping their icons will look great side by side. The best combinations solve a specific problem. One class generates a resource that another consumes. One corrects the weak damage of the other. One guarantees a critical hit and politely passes it on to the one with the most powerful rifle.

Mobalytics recently highlighted six particularly powerful combinations in their dual specialization video and accompanying guide. We took that as a starting point and then looked at what each pair actually means during a turn and how it fits into our existing Zero Company builds and battle guides.

REVIEW: LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian

Almost every year since the launch of Disney+ Lucasfilm has released an animated special or miniseries based on the LEGO Star Wars universe, telling a story in a galaxy far, far away with great respect for the iconic franchise and a willingness to laugh at it. The tradition continues this week with the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, an equally witty but inherently less exciting special, being more of a parody of the hit Disney+ series than an original story.

In LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Din Djarin (Gavin Hammon) and Grogu (David Acord) attend a surprise party to celebrate their achievements. Characters attending the party include Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris), Grieve Karga (Carl Lumbly), and Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). The party turns into a retelling of Mando and Grogu's most exciting adventures over three seasons of The Mandalorian.

With the exception of a few minutes of the final act featuring a vengeful pirate, LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian differs from previous LEGO Star Wars specials on Disney+ in that it does not tell an original story. Projects such as LEGO Star Wars: Tales of Terror and LEGO Star Wars: Galaxy Rebuild skillfully combined the wit and humor typical of LEGO projects with an original story that featured new, as well as already known characters. In turn, this provided these specials with a compelling storyline and energetic sense of humor.

Best build for Luko Bronk in Zero Company: Marksman + Scoundrel

Luko Bronk looks like one of those characters for whom the tactical game has already figured everything out for you. He appears with a rifle, a sniper badge, and the expression of a man who would rather be a few meters further from what you're pointing at. Hide it behind cover, find something valuable on the other side of the map, and let math do the rest.

Interestingly, the best version shown in The Critically Clueless video is not just "another sniper". The video starts with Luko paired with Scout, briefly looks at the Medic option, compares other additional specializations, and finally settles on the Rogue. This change is important because Trickster doesn't require Luco to become a different character. It just makes his existing job more dangerous: punching through defenses, creating critical hit opportunities, and contributing more in assists while the Marksman line continues to do some serious shooting.

The first update for Star Wars Zero Company will be released next week

The developers at Bit Reactor announced on the Steam Community that the first patch for Star Wars Zero Company will be released next week and will fix bugs and performance issues in the critically acclaimed game.

Next week we will be releasing a patch to fix bugs and performance issues in Star Wars Zero Company. Stay tuned to our website - https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/zero-company/news - for more information, and again thank you for your patience while we prepare this patch.

We will share more information as soon as the update is announced. Star Wars Zero Company is available now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The Best Astromech Build in Star Wars Zero Company: A Droid That Controls Your Whole Squad

Astromechs are very easy to underestimate in Star Wars Zero Company. They're small, don't carry conventional weapons, and their combat animation language mostly consists of rolling around somewhere useful and making an insistent electronic sound. Compared to a Mandalorian with a jetpack or a sniper carrying an EE-3, this might look like the tactical equivalent of carrying office equipment to a gunfight.

The secret is that a properly assembled astromech does not compete with your damage-dealing units. He improves them all. The build shown here turns the droid into an action point source, battlefield scanner, defense coordinator, and walking stockpile of useful items. He can remove protection from groups, remove evasion from a priority target, transfer action points to an operator who can use them more efficiently, and then replenish the squad when the turn really needs to get incredibly difficult.

The Mandalorian and Grogu's place in the Star Wars timeline has been confirmed

Disney+ has confirmed where The Mandalorian and Grogu fits into the Star Wars timeline.

For the first time in almost seven years, the franchise is returning to the big screen. The new film will continue the story begun in The Mandalorian series. The film is largely separate from the events of the Skywalker Saga, leaving fans wondering how it fits into the overall timeline.

After debuting on Disney's streaming service, the film was added to the official Star Wars timeline after 2024's Backbone and just before 2018's Star Wars Resistance.

Basically, The Backbone takes place parallel to the early seasons of The Mandalorian, during the time of the New Republic. The Book of Boba Fett and the first season of Ahsoka take place around the same time.

"The Resistance" follows a young New Republic pilot who is recruited into the Resistance by Poe Dameron to spy on the First Order.The series is set during the Star Wars sequel trilogy, approximately six months before the seventh episode.

Weekly hunting missions on land and in space are being added to SWG Legends

The new highly replayable system combines ground missions, space combat, individual objectives, group objectives and lower level combat.

Star Wars Galaxies Legends is preparing a new weekly mission system that will take players into battles on land and space. The missions are designed for single players, groups, and even low-level characters. The system was revealed in the latest developer diary and is based around a new mission board run by a Rodian named Kritz Baelna. Players will be able to take on repeatable missions ranging from Tier 5 Rebel starships to much more dangerous ground targets such as the Shadow Cult of the Sith and Terentatek. For completing tasks, players will receive boxes with rewards.

The most interesting thing is just this combination. For much of 2026, Legends has been busy improving certain aspects of the game. The massive Battle of Restuss update pushed PvP and bounty hunting forward, while the June update expanded Bespin, space content, and improved usability systems. Weekly hunts don't feel like just another isolated activity, but rather like a link between the many systems that already exist in SWG.

Star Wars Zero Company Patch 1.1 Notes

Star Wars Zero Company Update 1.1 has been released, bringing a number of new features as well as dozens of bug fixes to improve game performance and stability.

This page contains a detailed overview of Update 1.1 for Star Wars Zero Company, including a link to the full patch notes.

“Star Wars” has revealed the canonical image of the main character of Star Wars: Zero Company

Star Wars: Zero Company from Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment allows players to command a small secret unit dedicated to carrying out covert missions during the Clone Wars. The main character is Hawks, the leader of Zero Company, and the only operator who cannot die in the plot.

In the game, Hawks is a customizable character, meaning players can choose his race, gender, name, face, voice, clothing, and combat specialization. This freedom of choice opens up many storytelling possibilities, but the Star Wars Databank, the official online encyclopedia of Star Wars, confirms that Hawks is male.

Hawks is depicted as a bearded man wearing a dark leather coat over a green high-collared shirt. This image was used in the introductory video of Zero Company before character creation began.

The official description of Hawks in the database uses the same short biography as in the game's marketing materials. It is noted that he was a former captain in the Grand Army of the Republic, dismissed after the defeat by the Separatists.

In an interview with IGN director of Star Wars: Zero Company Greg Fertsch said that "Hawks can be anything you want him to be," giving fans the opportunity to demonstrate:

Hawks can be anyone. You can make Hawks a Twi'lek or a Zabrak, a man, a woman... He has to be what you want him to be as a player.
