How to roll

Rolling is a two-step process that requires you to input both a directional key and the crouch key. Here's how you can do it:

• First and foremost, choose a direction you want to roll in and start strafing.
• Once you start strafing, you can now chain two inputs of the crouch key to execute a roll in the game.

Following these two steps will allow you to successfully roll in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Now, you are not merely restricted by a four-directional roll. You can roll diagonally and execute jump rolls. Once you've mastered the basics, you can try out unique chains of command to execute your desired combat roll in the game.

For PC players, the roll key is generally bound to 'Left Alt'. As for console players, it's primarly bound to the crouch key, on 'Circle' for PlayStation controllers, and 'B' for XBox controllers.
