A player in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor demonstrates the power of the Force by utilizing Force Slow against a boss, showcasing the versatility of Jedi abilities beyond the traditional Force Push. The game follows Cal Kestis, a Jedi Knight who continues to fight against the Empire five years after Jedi: Fallen Order. Kestis' journey leads him to question the effectiveness of his efforts until a discovery offers him a chance for a fresh start, reuniting him with old friends and introducing new enemies.
During his journey, Kestis faces off against the formidable Gen'Dai Rayvis, leader of a marauder group that opposes the Jedi. This clash takes place on the planet Koboh, where Kestis hopes to find a safe haven from the Empire. Rayvis proves to be a challenging opponent, wielding a variety of weapons, including blasters, melee weapons, and a devastating rocket barrage attack. This attack can be particularly difficult to counter, especially on higher difficulty levels. However, Reddit user Loj35 discovered a clever trick to slow down the rocket barrage, allowing players to hurl the rockets back at Rayvis while stunning him temporarily. This tactic not only deals explosive damage but also creates an opening for a lightsaber strike.
Using the Force to wield an enemy's weapon against them is a common occurrence in Star Wars. Jedi and Sith have demonstrated this ability on numerous occasions, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi using General Greivous' blaster to eliminate him or Kylo Ren halting Rey's lightsaber mid-strike. However, explosives present a greater danger due to their unpredictable nature. Deciding whether to take the risk or not is a matter of weighing the potential reward. Nonetheless, as demonstrated by Loj35, a Jedi who is truly attuned with the Force may not need to concern themselves with such risks. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can be played on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
