Titanfall Guide Pilots Pilot Tactical Abilities

Tier 2 Kits

The Tier 2 Kits function just like the Tier 1 Kits, offering greater variety and customization for your Pilot’s loadout. As with the Tier 1 Kits, carefully study the benefits of each, then select one that complements your overall loadout and style of play.

Tier 2 Kit

Dome-Shield Battery

This kit extends the duration of your Titan’s Dome-Shield after Titanfall.

Kit Unlock: Level 1

Field Notes

The Dome-Shield Battery extends the duration of your Titan’s Dome-Shield by ten seconds. This is a good kit to equip if you find yourself always dropping your Titan in or near battle. Your Titan cannot be damaged while in the Dome-Shield, although your Titan will take damage if you activate Guard mode or Follow mode. If enemy Titans or Pilots enter your Dome-Shield, the Dome-Shield will inflict damage to them—if they don’t exit quickly they’ll be killed. Since your Dome-Shield will last for approximately 23 seconds, this Tier 2 Kit is also a good distraction if dropped into a high-traffic area. Nearby enemy Titans or Pilots may flock to attack your Titan while you as a Pilot sneak attack the enemies.

Tier 2 Kit

Minion Detector

The Minion Detector displays both friendly and enemy Grunts and Spectres on your minimap at all times.

Kit Unlock: Level 1

Field Notes

This Tier 2 Kit is great if you’re always looking to quickly pick off enemy AI. Your minimap will show you the positions of the enemy AI to take them out and receive your Titan or Core ability quicker.

Pro Tip: StrongSide

Since the Minion Detector also shows you friendly AI on the minimap, you can use this to locate enemy Pilots. Watch for groups of friendly AI disappearing from the minimap and you’ll find an enemy Pilot nearby.

Tier 2 Kit

Warpfall Transmitter

The Warpfall Transmitter accelerates your Titanfall substantially, using short-range jump technology.

Field Notes

The Warpfall Transmitter is a great way to score Titanfall kills on enemy Titans. This kit allows your Titan to fall in three seconds rather than five. With the shortened amount of time you’ll be able to line up some awesome Titanfall kills.

Pro Tip: StrongSide

If you notice an enemy Titan sitting in a position and not moving too much, that is the time to deploy your Titan. When an enemy Titan is running in a direct line, call in your Titan a bit in front of him. This will take some practice as you have to predict where he will be when your Titan lands. Also, if you’re feeling lucky, you can bait an enemy Titan towards you and lay the Titanfall where the enemy Titan will be chasing you.

Tier 2 Kit

Dead Man’s Trigger

The Dead Man’s Trigger auto-detonates all your planted explosives when you are killed.

Kit Unlock: Level 37

Field Notes

This is a helpful Anti-Titan kit and best used with Satchel Charges. Many times when rodeo attacking an enemy Titan, they are able to kill you before you can detonate the Satchel Charges. This kit rewards that hard work and explodes on the enemy Titan when your Pilot is taken out, allowing your teammates to finish the Titan off. Avoid using this kit with the Arc Mines; they are more effective when they stay on the map instead of just exploding once you are killed.

Tier 2 Kit

The “Icepick”

The “Icepick” is a modified Data Knife that increases the speed with which you can hack Spectres and turret control panels.

Kit Unlock: Level 43

Field Notes

The “Icepick” cuts your time to hack a turret or Spectre in half. This allows you to capture a turret fast and immediately get back into the action. This Tier 2 Kit is best used on maps that are heavily based around turrets, like Training Ground.

Tier 2 Kit

Guardian Chip

This upgraded targeting system allows your Auto-Titan to engage enemies with much greater accuracy.

Kit Unlock: Level 49

Field Notes

This Tier 2 Kit upgrades your Auto-Titan greatly. Your Auto-Titan will kill many more enemy AI and even kill enemy Pilots in pursuit of the Auto-Titan or enemy Pilots that expose themselves in the open for too long.

Pro Tip: StrongSide

When equipping the Guardian Chip, equip the Arc Cannon to maximize its use. This weapon will take out enemy AI and Pilots that expose themselves too much. This weapon can also eliminate enemy Pilots in mid air after they have ejected from their Titan.
