For best results, always take aim before firing, using the weapon’s iron sights or optical attachment to acquire your target. If you’re familiar with other FPS titles, the gunplay in Titanfall 2 should feel very familiar. FirearmsĪlthough distinct, Titanfall 2’s firearms all function similarly, mostly firing cartridge-based projectiles. When combined with ordnance, such as grenades and explosive charges, Pilots have greater flexibility when creating loadouts. After selecting a primary weapon, Pilots can now choose a pistol or anti-Titan weapon as their secondary. WeaponsĮach Pilot has an impressive arsenal of weapons at their disposal. To remove your Jump Kit’s exhaust entirely, equip the Low Profile ability, available in Kit 2. Sometimes it’s best to avoid double jumping when cloaked, so as not to draw enemy attention. To perform a wallhang, hold your aim control while in the middle of a wallrun.Įnemy Titans can see your Jump Kit’s exhaust when you double jump while cloaked as a Pilot. Hanging onto a wall high up while defending an objective can help you get the drop on unsuspecting enemies. If you have the Wallhang ability equipped (available in Kit 2), you can cling to walls like an insect. You can continue to do this until you mistime your jump and slow down too much or you come to a stop against some object. Each time your feet are about to touch the ground-as long as you are moving at a high speed-you can jump to “skip” along the ground. Then, as your feet touch the ground, jump again.
To try this, jump away from a wall while wallrunning at a full sprint. This will preserve whatever speed you’ve built up to that point as a Pilot. You can move quickly by “skipping” across the ground. Shooting while wallrunning won’t cause you to lose any speed. You’ll get to places faster and more safely than when running across open ground. Keep an eye open for wallrunning paths through maps. Use wallrunning to traverse through environments quickly. You move faster when running along walls than you do running on the ground. Sliding is a great way to maintain momentum following a jump or wallrun. You can initiate a slide even before landing: as you drop, press the crouch button/key to automatically transition into a slide upon landing. Sliding is an excellent way to maintain momentum upon landing from a jump or wallrun. If you initiate a crouch while running, your Pilot will slide along the ground for a few meters. So when accuracy counts, make a habit of dropping to a knee before firing. The reticle constricts while you’re crouching, improving accuracy. It also offers greater stability when firing a weapon. All ziplines are two-way linear paths, allowing you to travel up or down ziplines at a consistent speed.Ĭrouching is helpful for squeezing into tight spots. But don’t let the angle of the zipline fool you. The direction you’re facing when you attach to a zipline dictates the direction you’ll travel. When within close proximity to a zipline, attach to it by pressing the Reload button/key-you can even do this while in midair. However, they’re still featured in the single-player campaign. Crouching/Sliding ZiplinesĪt the moment, ziplines aren’t available in multiplayer. The wallrunning skills you mastered during the campaign continue to pay dividends in multiplayer. Furthermore, moving on the ground (even when sprinting) is much slower than utilizing wallruns and other Jump Kit-assisted techniques. If you stay on the ground, you’ll be at a serious disadvantage as enemy Pilots (and Titans) attack from above. Advance to rooftops and other elevated positions to gain a better perspective of your environment. For starters, look for opportunities to take the high ground. While the basics of movement are covered during the campaign, putting these moves into practice during combat takes some getting used to. Utilizing Jump Kits, Pilots have a distinct advantage on the battlefield, making them capable of wallrunning, wallhanging, and double jumping. Here we take a look at some of the most fundamental aspects of playing as a Pilot, complete with some helpful tips from the developers at Respawn Entertainment.
