Star Wars Zero Company update 1.2 adds Campaign Modifiers
EA and Bit Reactor have released Update 1.2 for Star Wars Zero Company, adding Campaign Modifiers, including death risk and injury strikes.
The main addition is Campaign Modifiers, a new system that lets players adjust campaign settings through Difficulty Settings after completing the tutorial.
The update also includes balance changes and bug fixes. According to the source, Bit Reactor plans to add more Campaign Modifiers later.
What happened
EA has published patch notes for Star Wars Zero Company Update 1.2, while Game Rant highlighted the update on October 15, 2026 as a major new release for Bit Reactor’s tactical Star Wars game. The EA patch notes confirm, according to the external context, that patch 1.2 is live and that the update includes new Campaign Modifiers, bug fixes, and feature updates.
Campaign Modifiers become available after the tutorial is completed and can be adjusted through the Difficulty Settings. The source mentions Injury Limits, death risk, and Health progression as examples of the new campaign options. This gives players more control over the rules that apply during a campaign, without needing a separate mod or external tool.
One concrete setting is death risk. It is off by default, but can be enabled; once active, the risk increases by 20% each time a character is downed. The source also mentions injury strikes, where an operator can permanently die after a chosen number of injuries. It also notes that the modifiers are available on any difficulty after the tutorial is finished.
The provided information further says that Bit Reactor wants to add more Campaign Modifiers later. No exact timeline was given in the supplied sources. The full patch notes were also not broken down in the provided material, so it is not clear which balance changes and bug fixes were included.

Background
Star Wars Zero Company is Bit Reactor’s tactical Star Wars game, with EA as publisher. The update fits into an expandable campaign customization system, with the source explicitly referring to Campaign Modifiers as a new layer on top of the existing difficulty settings.
The available information says patch 1.2 is live and that the update includes Campaign Modifiers as well as bug fixes and feature updates. Both the EA patch notes and Game Rant’s coverage confirm that the update combines new options with ongoing maintenance for the game. However, the supplied sources do not provide a full list of all modifiers at launch, nor the complete set of balance changes.
The source does mention a few specific examples of modifiers, including Injury Limits, death risk, and Health progression. It also states that Campaign Modifiers are available on any difficulty after the tutorial is completed. That means the feature is not limited to a specific mode or a later stage of the game, but can be used directly in the campaign settings.
The source also says Bit Reactor wants to add more Campaign Modifiers later. That suggests Update 1.2 may be the start of a larger system, but the provided information does not include a roadmap or release date for future additions. It is also not confirmed whether the mention of slashed upgrade costs from a Reddit post refers to the same update or a separate change.
