Fegraeus clarified that earning in-game currency by playing matches and completing challenges, and that's it. Paying for upgrades or currency is "not part of the core design of how it works," he said. "This is a progression system based on your gameplay performance."For more on Star Wars Battlefront, check out our impressions of the promising Drop Zone mode new modes , and a ton of new gameplay footage ahead of the multiplayer beta that starts this week.
