Star Wars: Battlefront II – Swap the Default Intro with Niamos Vibes

The galaxy’s seen its fair share of epic intros, but let’s be honest—after your 187th login to Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017), that default game intro hits more like a wet sponge than a hypersonic Star Destroyer flyby. So what if you could swap it for something a little… smoother? A little more space Miami?

Enter the NIAMOS INTRO mod — a cinematic replacement that injects some well-deserved swagger into your startup sequence.

What Is the Niamos Intro Mod?

This mod doesn’t change your loadouts, classes, or blaster fire—what it does is switch out the generic opening cinematic with a custom-rendered sequence straight out of Niamos, the techno-beach paradise introduced in Andor. It’s the one place in the Star Wars universe where stormtroopers walk past guys in neon shorts holding mojitos—and yes, that slaps.

The mod replaces the intro video with a polished, stylized visual that captures the sunny, synthy aesthetic of Niamos, including the iconic “Niamos Beats” soundtrack. Booting up the game suddenly feels less like you’re preparing for war and more like you’re vibing in a galaxy far, far away.

Why Niamos?

Andor made waves for bringing a grittier, more grounded tone to Star Wars—but it also gifted us Niamos, which answered the question: what if Ibiza existed in space?

That beachside sequence with Cassian Andor introduced us to a whole new vibe in Star Wars storytelling. No Jedi, no Sith, just people living their lives under the Empire’s shadow. And a killer electronic beat in the background. If you loved the Niamos scene, this intro mod is practically a love letter to that moment.

Plus, let’s be real: booting up to Niamos feels like logging into Star Wars and a nightclub. Dual immersion.

How It Works (No Spoilers)

Technically, this mod simply replaces the default startupvideo file with a custom intro showcasing Niamos visuals and music. There are no script edits or game mechanic tweaks—so you won’t run into any conflicts with your favorite gameplay mods.

Install is as easy as dropping a file into your Star Wars Battlefront II mod folder (via Frosty Mod Manager). You can revert at any time. But why would you?

Compatible With Other Mods?

Absolutely. Because it only touches the intro cinematic, it won’t conflict with your armor swaps, gameplay tweaks, or spicy Sabine Wren model reskins. It plays nice with others, just like Niamos locals who mind their own business until the Empire shows up.

It’s worth noting that this mod is cosmetic and audio-based only—so your gameplay remains unchanged. No Niamos maps, no beachball blasters (someone make this, please), just pure startup swag.

For the Mod Collectors and Completionists

If your mod library is already decked out with Mandalorian armor packs, Darth Revan overhauls, and sexy UI reshades, this mod is the cherry on top. It’s not about performance—it’s about presence.

And hey, if you’re the kind of gamer who adjusts their HUD color to match their trooper skin tone, the Niamos Intro Mod is absolutely your aesthetic.

Star Wars Meets Esports? Hear Us Out…

Okay, maybe you’re an esports diehard and you’re thinking: “What does a tropical beach intro have to do with ranked ladders and sniper flicks?” Well, nothing—except setting the tone matters.

Even in high-stakes matches, your mood can affect your performance. If a synth-beat from Niamos gets you more zen before diving into battle, who’s to say it’s not performance-enhancing? (No ban-worthy substances here—just good vibes.)

What About the Casino Crowd?

You know how casino games pull you in with lights, sounds, and ambiance? That’s what this intro does. It replaces the military-grade bleakness of the default Battlefront II intro with something that makes you want to stay in the game lobby a little longer—maybe even bet on who rage-quits first.

It’s sleek. It’s stylish. It’s as if Lando Calrissian personally curated your login screen.


Conclusion: Load Into Style with the Niamos Intro

When you’re modding Star Wars Battlefront II, it’s easy to focus only on the big-ticket items—new heroes, custom skins, weapon swaps. But don’t sleep on the atmosphere.

The Niamos Intro Mod adds that little extra flair at the front door, making sure that even before you’re blasting droids on Naboo, you’re already living your best Star Wars life. It’s tropical. It’s rebellious. It’s ridiculously on brand.

So if you’re tired of the same ol’ default intro and ready to embrace a more laid-back rebellion—go ahead, replace the opening cinematic with a dose of Niamos flavor.

Just don’t blame us if you start hearing synth beats every time you pick up a blaster.
