Pilot Kits

Unlike the tactical abilities, kits are largely passive, requiring no interaction on behalf of the Pilot to benefit from their bonuses. There are a total of eight kits, split across two different slots, each with their own benefits. You can have two kits active simultaneously, one in each slot. Before selecting a kit, take into account your other loadout selections and find a kit that complements them.

Kit 1

Power Cell

Field Notes

Power Cell is one of the first kits readily available. Paired with literally any tactical ability, this kit is extremely useful. Stay super mobile pairing Power Cell with Stim or Grapple, or become a real ghost with Cloak. Pick your favorite tactical and use Power Cell to become a master with it.

Fast Regen

Field Notes

Stay alive longer with Fast Regen. This does not mean that you can take more bullets, or survive a melee attack straight to the face. Taking Fast Regen does mean that you can trade a few shots with your enemy, escape for just a few seconds, and return back to the fight to actually have the upper hand, as you have just regained your health before they have. Using this kit requires some incredible timing, as well as lighting fast reflexes. This is a kit you will see some of the highly skilled players use, as they will be escaping danger just in the nick of time. This does not mean you must return to battle right away. This is more of an offensive move. Fast Regen can be used simply just to get away and not get killed as you retreat back to your base or get caught along the way with half of your health.

Ordnance Expert

Field Notes

With the array of ordnance options in the game, there are just as many different trajectories to learn when it comes to throwing out yours. Each grenade isn’t very different, but some are different enough to throw off your balance because you may not be used to how that specific piece might fly. Use Ordnance Expert if you plan to go on the all-out offensive. Being able to throw more grenades or blind more Titans with your Arc Grenade or Firestar can really mess with the enemy’s flow. Using this kit can be considered a bit of a waste if you are on the defensive, as you may not use it all that much and there are other kits that might serve you better. Toss grenades as far as you can with Ordnance Expert equipped, because you know exactly where it will land now.

Phase Embark

Field Notes

Embarking your Titan always looks really fun, but sometimes the traditional way just takes a little bit too long. In most cases, when you have Titanfall ready, you need it right then and there. Playing in game modes like Titan War and Bounty Hunt, you might need your Titan a whole minute before it actually drops. Phase Embark is exactly the kit that will help you out in these situations. When you go to embark your Titan, you will run up and literally phase right through the nose plating and into the cockpit, saving you a few seconds and making you combat-ready. This kit is best paired with Warpfall because not only will you get in your Titan quicker, you will also have the ability to embark your Titan faster. You are also quite vulnerable after Warpfall, as your Titan does not have the protective Dome-Shield on.

Kit 2

Kill Report

Field Notes

Kill Report is useful when you want to control a specific area or building. The use of Kill Report allows you to make a mental map of where the action is taking place on the actual map. Use Kill Report as either a sniper or a team captain because having knowledge of the battlefield is key for each role. Keep track of deaths around the map and dictate where you need to send your weaponry.

Wallhang

Field Notes

Wallhang is the perfect kit for sneak attack and surprise ambushes. Use Wallhang to kill movement expectations or attack from above before your opponent notices that you are there. What that means is, if someone is tracking you while you are running toward them on the wall and they expect you to jump off or drop, you can wallhang and light them up when they least expect it. Another way to surprise your opponent is by running above your enemy and stopping directly in their blind spot, thus having the perfect shot to take them out.

Hover

Field Notes

Hover is an ability that works in the same way as Wallhang, but for a slightly different purpose. Hover is less stable than Wallhang. However, you are actually able to aim down sights with Hover, unlike Wallhang. Use Hover during transitions from object to object while wallrunning. The best part about Hover is that you can keep up your forward or lateral momentum even after you are done hovering. In a hallway where you might jump from side to side while running, you can literally stop in the middle of a jump and fire on an enemy and then continue your jump and keep right on with what you were doing. This is a bit of a technical kit, but mastering it will serve you very well.

Low Profile

Field Notes

Low Profile might seem familiar if you are a w veteran. This is a kit that can be used on any Pilot loadout, as you simply can’t go wrong with it. Low Profile will do just that, keep you in a low profile against the enemy team. Because of the jump pack on a Pilot, it is rather easy to spot players from a distance, and this is where Low Profile helps you out most. Not drawing attention from your enemies while you’re attempting to move away from the action can save you a great deal of deaths, as some are now avoidable. Considering Electric Smoke from Titans take timing into a much larger account, being silent when attempting to rodeo a Titan can give you a few extra seconds before the Pilot inside notices you.
