Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Bug Continues To Make Entire Lobbies Invincible, But It "Will Be Fixed"
Last year, EA cut support for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 - no more updates and no new content. Despite leaks and plans, the game finally came to a close. But now, nearly a year later, a new bug has cropped up that's making players invincible. DICE promises a fix is coming.

On Reddit, a few users claimed the 1HP issue is something they've seen for years now, but it wasn't common because it's a hack. Others linked to a site that has allegedly released the hack for free which
