Rebels are, in line with franchise lore, the shabbiest-looking but the bravest faction of the four main ones available in the game. They may have no armor, but this doesn't give them any disadvantage in comparison to the white-clad Imperial troops. The Rebels in Battlefront II are comprised of humans, Bothans, and Wookiees, all of whom receive damages from being underwater for too long and being out in space. | Rebels are, in line with franchise lore, the shabbiest-looking but the bravest faction of the four main ones available in the game.

A basic infantry unit. The Rebel Soldier is equipped with a blaster rifle, a blaster pistol, and four thermal detonators. Like all "Soldier" classes, the unit is well rounded out and acts as a grunt.

The Smuggler has two types of secondary weapons: three detpacks (a remotely triggered explosive) and five health and ammo packs. You can only have one detpack planted at a time, and while the health and ammo packs replenish detpack ammo, it will NOT give you more packs (they must be obtained from ammunition droids). | ||

However, jump-pack fuel is limited (it charges back up over time when not used) and the jump-pack, unlike the Republic Jet Trooper's jetpack, tends to just shoot up at a more rapid rate for a shorter time and drops the player back down quicker. These soldiers are also equipped with Arc Casters (they fire streams of lightning that can be charged to hit multiple enemies at once), commando blaster pistols, and four thermal detonators. | ||

They are given commando pistols (more accurate than the standard pistol, times between shots are shorter, but they deal slightly less damage) and four thermal detonators. | ||
