Tactics
- If you make your way to the top of the Town Hall by wall jumping, you’ll find this tower is great for sniping a couple enemy Pilots, but only for a short time. Once you kill an enemy Pilot here, the enemy Pilot is sure to see your location and let teammates know where you are or come back to hunt you down personally. If the enemy Pilot comes to hunt you down, it can lead to another easy kill by placing Arc Mines along the walls and jumping up to the top of Town Hall. Enemy Pilots are most likely not going to be paying attention to the walls, so you’ll get an easy kill. After the second kill you get up here, it’s probably time you moved positions.
- All the buildings in the center of the map promotes a lot of wall running and jumping. Use these to quickly maneuver around the map and to get away from a losing battle when you are outnumbered.
- The interior of the buildings also provide for sneaky play. Make your way into a building and use Active Radar Pulse near a wall or window to see if any enemies are near. While Active Radar Pulse is activated, be sure to look towards rooftops as many Pilots travel these areas.
Pro Tip: StrongSideEquip Cloak if you are going to be traveling on the rooftops or sniping back on a rooftop around the perimeter of the Colony. Although Cloak doesn’t completely hide you from enemy Pilots, it still makes you tough to see from a far distance. Cloak also makes you especially hard to hit if you are wall running and jumping while you have Cloak activated. |
- The rooftops play a big role on this map. You’ll get an overview of most of the map from almost every rooftop, but you’ll want to stay clear of the rooftops on the center of the map near Supply Rations as you’ll been seen from every rooftop surrounding this area and you are most noticeable here. Use a sniper rifle and position yourself on the rooftops around the perimeter of the Colony to look into the Colony and kill enemy Pilots running from rooftop to rooftop or traveling throughout the streets.
- Position yourself on top of the Town Hall rooftop and equip a sniper rifle with the AOG attachment. At this position you’re able to view most of the map and use the cubby hole for cover. Here you can peek shoot across the map and pick off enemy Pilots jumping from rooftop to rooftop or pick off enemy Pilots sitting back trying to snipe.
- With your Titan, you’ll have a lot of access throughout the Colony, but many Pilots can hide in buildings and jump out to rodeo attack you easily. Make use of the Tactical Ability Electric Smoke to keep those pesky enemy Pilots off your back. The Electric Smoke is also good to use if you want to halt an enemy Titan charging you through the Colony. Deploy your Electric Smoke in the middle of the street and make your escape to your teammates or to get your shield back.
- While in your Titan, you’ll have a good view of most of the rooftops in the Colony. This view allows you to pick off many enemy Pilots running from rooftop to rooftop. Attach the X0-16 Chaingun to pick off enemy Pilots quickly and still have ammo to turn and fight an enemy Titan if needed.
