Introduction
Titanfall 2 celebrates its 7-year anniversary with renewed player interest, surprise updates, new modes—and even a commemorative theme song. While fans still hope for Titanfall 3, now is the perfect time to revisit the Frontier. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a fresh recruit, here’s a detailed collection of tips and tricks—gathered from the community—to sharpen your gameplay and elevate your experience.
General Combat Tips
- Targeting Titan Shields
- Titan shields (the blue bar) can be damaged by any weapon—not just anti-Titan gear. While heavy weapons deal more damage, even small arms can wear shields down if aimed well.
- Understanding Tracer Types
- Hitscan weapons (e.g., Longbow DMR) register instantly upon firing. Aim precisely.
- Projectile weapons (e.g., Double Take, Kraber) require leading your shots based on movement and distance.
- Double Take’s Hidden Projectile
- Despite its name, the Double Take fires three projectiles—not two. A hidden center shot gives it “Triple Take”-like potential, boosting accuracy and damage.
- SMG Handling
- The Alternator SMG excels at hip-fire accuracy. ADS isn’t required for effective targeting, making it ideal for close-range duels.
- Weapon Variants: R101 vs. R201
- Both rifles are nearly identical, but the R101 has slightly better recoil control in ADS—at the cost of a bulkier view model.
Advanced Weapon Techniques
- Charge Rifle vs. Monarch’s Laser Shot
- The Charge Rifle is a pure hitscan weapon, great for precision sniping.
- Laser Shot hits targets in a narrow 1° cone—effectively an aim-assist beam.
- Unlike Monarch’s Energy Siphon (1.5° cone), neither deals splash damage.
- Shotgun Mechanics
- EVA-8: Hitscan. ADS does not tighten its spread.
- Mastiff & Mozambique: Projectile-based. ADS improves pellet spread, aiding accuracy.
- Grapple + Face Embark Combo
- Use Grapple while airborne and aim it at your Titan. With Face Embark, this enables rapid in-combat Titan entry—perfect for tight skirmishes.
Titan Combat and Mobility
- Ronin Dash Chaining
- Alternate between standard dashes and Phase Dash to chain movement. This technique allows Ronin to reach high ground like Drydock’s bridge or escape confined encounters.
- Warpfall Kit Advantage
- Equip the Warpfall Kit to deploy your Titan instantly. It lands faster and becomes active more quickly, letting you seize initiative in combat zones.
Pilot Mobility Tips
- Slidehopping + Grap Star Combos
- Combine slidehops with Grap Star explosions for powerful speed boosts. Add Stim Tactical for even faster traversal across maps.
- Avoiding Mantling
- Instead of triggering slow mantle animations, use double jump after wallkicks to ascend ledges with your weapon still ready.
Unique Weapon Tricks
- Smart Pistol Insights
- ADS disables auto-aim, allowing manual precision.
- It has no damage falloff, dealing 40 base body damage (or 55 with Amped Wall), no matter the range.
- It can also detonate enemy ordnance—excluding Fire and Gravity Stars.
Titan Loadout Optimization
- Dash Cooldown Awareness
- Titans have built-in cooldowns between dashes. Learn your Titan’s timing and use terrain to shield while recharging mobility options.
- Combining Long-Range and Control Tools
- Pair Northstar’s sniper artillery with Smoke Grenades to zone out enemies while delivering precise damage from afar.
Closing Tips
Mastering Titanfall 2 means understanding its layers of depth—whether you’re grappling through the skies or stomping in your Titan. The tips above can help you outmaneuver your opponents, optimize your loadouts, and elevate your performance in both multiplayer and PvE. Dive back into the action, celebrate seven years of wall-running chaos, and make every moment count in the Frontier.
Happy Anniversary, Pilots. See you out there.
