However, it will destroy unused or enemy turrets, and speeder bikes (on Endor). Note that this Orbital Strike, like its power-up version, doesn't damage or destroy buildings, obstacles, or wreckage, meaning the player must choose the area they want to bomb carefully. With this ability, the player can select an area for an Orbital Strike to occur. Orbital Strike: The final weapon of the AT-AT. This is the AT-AT's second-fastest ability, requiring a two-second cooldown. This ability is useful against players hiding behind cover as the explosion radius is much larger than the light blasters. This ability is somewhat unwieldy and the camera angle is closer to the ground, making it harder for players to use on fast-moving targets such as Rebel soldiers.

This is the only ability that the AI AT-AT uses. These lasers are more effective on vehicles and turrets as they deal more damage per shot. Heavy Laser Cannon: This second pair of blasters is fired from the bottom of the head. It is the fastest of the AT-AT's weapons, only needing a split second to cool down. The light blasters fire two shots of dual blasts that have a wide area of effect that will hurt enemy players upon impact. It is fired from the sides of the walker's head. Light Blasters: This is the ability the player always starts off with when assuming control over the walker's weapons. Attaining kills increases the time a player has control of the AT-AT's weapons. The AT-AT has three abilities at players' disposal. Players can increase the length of time in the walker by killing enemies, with each kill giving an extra 3 seconds of time. When a player is not in control, the weapons are controlled by an AI. This differs from the titles in Pandemic Studios' Battlefront series, which granted the player full control over the behemoth. The health of the AT-AT differs from map to map.Ĭollecting an AT-AT power-up in Walker Assault allows a player to man the AT-AT's weapons for 60 seconds. Once the Y-Wings weaken it, Rebel soldiers can begin to damage the AT-AT's armor, dealing extra damage if they target its drive motors located in its underbelly. In order to weaken the AT-AT for the attack, Rebel soldiers need to call in Y-Wing bombing runs. The AT-AT's four, towering legs allow its pilots a wide view of the battlefield but can be exploited to trip the walker and destroy it using the T-47 Airspeeder's tow cable, but it is difficult because you might get destroyed trying to do that. To the distress of the Rebel soldiers upon which this machine is unleashed, the AT-AT is also equipped with a shield that makes it nearly invulnerable to small arms fire. The AT-AT is a vehicle armed with two medium blaster cannons, mounted on both sides of its head, and two heavy laser cannons mounted below the head.
