While the E-11 deals respectable damage at close-range, it suffers from having low end-damage, making the weapon unreliable in dealing with long-range targets and must close the distance in order to deal with them effectively. Combining this with the jetpack means that the Rocket Trooper can position itself behind or above enemies, and rain a hail of devastating fire upon them. The weapon's increased damage means that the Imperial Rocket Trooper is capable of outgunning most targets in single engagements and can deal even more damage by landing headshots against them along with its Rocket Launcher to deal with tightly clumped groups of enemies. The Imperial Rocket Trooper's E-11 deals increased damage as compared to the existing default blaster for the Stormtrooper, and can provide reliable firepower with its relatively low heat per shot and low venting time. The thrusters of their jetpack allow them to propel forward and upward for some flight. As their name suggests, they bring into combat with them a rocket launcher. Imperial Rocket Troopers are equipped with an improved E-11 Blaster Rifle.

In Star Wars Battlefront II, the Imperial Jump Troopers return as Imperial Rocket Troopers, the Aerial Reinforcement unit of the Galactic Empire. Add the extra mobility from the jetpack and you understand the Empire's investment in these troopers." - In-game description " Precision and area attack are both qualities the Imperial Rocket Trooper delivers. Jetpack (visually identical to the Jumpack) Once they are hovering, Jump Troopers can quickly eliminate the player due to their higher chance of landing headshots. In the air, they remain stationary.Īt higher difficulties of Survival and Battles, more Jump Troopers are deployed at once and their RT-97C Heavy Blaster deals increased damage. Once Jump Troopers are close enough to the player, they take a moment to activate their modified Jump Pack so that they hover in the air before actually starting to fire. They activate their Personal Shield when they are attacked from any range, but only attack the player at close-range. Imperial Jump Troopers have low health and rely on their Personal Shield for protection. Jump Troopers are fragile and their behavior is predictable. In Battles, Imperial Jump Troopers can be encountered as enemies or they can be friendly units depending on which faction the player sides with.


In Survival, they are most often seen in later waves.

They cannot use their Personal Shield and Jump Pack at the same time. They are armed with an RT-97C Heavy Blaster and equipped with a Personal Shield and a modified Jump Pack that allows them to hover in the air in one spot for an unlimited amount of time. In DICE's Star Wars Battlefront, Imperial Jump Troopers are encountered in Survival and Battles.
