The Jedi arenโt the only ones getting ambushed. In the recently launched Order 66 raid in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, players have reported an unexpected twist: the Bad Batch modifier, meant to activate exclusively at Tier 7, is showing up in Tiers 1โ6 as well.
Yes, itโs a modifier mutinyโand the dev team has confirmed that theyโre investigating the issue.
๐ Whatโs the Bug?
To put it simply: the Bad Batch raid modifier, which should only apply in Tier 7 of the Order 66 raid, is currently affecting all other tiers.
This means that players diving into earlier tiers (presumably to build up or casually contribute) are getting hit with advanced mechanics and balancing shifts they weren’t supposed to face until the final tier.
The result? Confusion, strategic misfires, and a noticeable spike in difficulty where there shouldnโt be one.
๐ What the Modifier Does
The Bad Batch modifier isnโt just a cosmetic labelโit significantly affects combat by introducing synergy boosts, ability mechanics, or passive effects specific to the Bad Batch team. Designed for endgame raid tiers, it creates additional layers of complexity that are inappropriate for lower levels meant to be more forgiving.
Imagine expecting a training match and walking into a live fire exercise with Crosshair taking headshots. Not ideal.
๐พ Devs Acknowledge and Are Investigating
According to official communication from the dev team, the issue has been flagged and is under active investigation. Thereโs no confirmed timeline yet for a hotfix or patch, but itโs clear the Bad Batch modifier will be reined back in once the source of the issue is isolated.
Until then, if youโre wondering why Tier 3 feels like a war zoneโwell, now you know.
๐ง Strategy Tip: Adapt or Wait?
If you’re determined to raid regardless:
- Rebuild your squads with Bad Batch counters in mind.
- Avoid overcommitting gear or zetas to early raid comps until the patch lands.
- If you’re in a guild pushing for progression, coordinate and avoid lower tiers unless you’re confident in your roster.
Alternatively, you might want to hold your raid energy until the bug is fixed. There’s no shame in letting the clones clone themselves out for a bit.
Final Thoughts: Execute Bug Fix 66
Every new raid rollout comes with a few hyperdrive hiccups, and this one just happens to involve the galaxyโs most famous clone squad. While unintended, the Bad Batch modifier spillover in the Order 66 raid is a solid reminder that even digital warfare needs quality control.
The fix is comingโuntil then, remember: if the tier feels too spicy, it probably wasn’t meant for you (yet).
