Pilot Combat/Mobility
- Careful! Your jump jets are still visible when they fire, even while you are cloaked.
- The Pilot’s cloaking device was built to fool Titan optics, and is less effective against the naked eye.
- Hang from the walls! You can come to a stop and hang onto a wall by holding the zoom button while wall running.
- Each time you inflict damage on an enemy, you reduce the time it takes to get your next Titan.
- Get there faster. You get a big speed boost while you are wall running.
- Check your minimap for enemies and friendlies on foot—large dots are Pilots, small dots are Grunts. Titans appear as large triangles on the minimap.
- Get the drop. You can detach from walls at any time by pressing the crouch button.
- Stand on the shoulders of giants—you can get to higher locations by double jumping off of other Titans.
- Leverage your momentum. When landing while in motion, jump as you touch the ground to go even faster.
- Create a personal army. Get close to a Spectre to hack it. This will also automatically hack other nearby Spectres.
- As a Pilot, you can ride on zip lines in both directions, thanks to your Jump Kit.
- Using Cloak before using a zip line can help you avoid enemy fire.
- Keep ‘em guessing. Press the crouch button to suddenly drop from zip lines without carrying speed.
- Swoop into the action! Jump to detach from zip lines without losing speed.
Titan Combat
- Watch for weak points. Taking down a Titan’s bodyshield will expose bright red weak points to certain weapons.
- Don’t hesitate! You can board your Titan from any direction—even from mid-air!
- Heads up! Titans falling into the battle will kill any enemy combatants they land on.
- Go for the rodeo! You can kill a Titan by jumping on its back and firing into its internal systems.
- Get under their skin. When you rodeo an enemy Titan and shoot its internal systems, your attack bypasses the shields.
- Don’t rest on your laurels—a doomed Titan is still a threat.
- Finish them! You can rip an enemy out of a doomed Titan with a well-timed melee attack.
- Switch to your Anti-Titan weapon to do the most damage to Titans when you’re on foot as a Pilot.
- Getting outnumbered in a Titan fight is very dangerous—your Titan will tell you if you are in danger.
- Always check your teammates’ Titans—there may be enemy Pilots on their backs.
- Your Titan is programmed to follow you around unless you manually switch it to Guard Mode.
- When you switch your Titan to Guard Mode, it will face in the direction you were looking at the time.
- When you hitch a ride on a friendly player’s Titan, its shields will protect you too.
- When a Titan is doomed, its health bar will change to a striped pattern
- If your Titan is not doomed, your shields will begin recharging if you avoid getting hit for a short time.
- A Titan’s built-in shields are not impenetrable—the armor underneath just takes a lot less damage.
- Live to fight another day! When your Titan’s bodyshield is low or depleted, take cover from enemy fire to recharge it.
- Get punchy. Prevent enemy Pilots from jumping on your Titan by punching them at close range.
- A doomed Titan gets a striped health bar and will soon self-destruct. The Pilot who dooms an enemy Titan scores the kill.
Weapons
- Get refreshed. Every time you enter your Titan, your Pilot ammo is automatically refilled.
- Be quick on the draw. Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading.
- The Smart Pistol will lock onto live grenades. Be careful not to blow yourself up!
- Be patient. The basic Smart Pistol takes three lock-ons to kill a Pilot with one trigger pull.
- Be prepared to do it yourself. The Smart Pistol’s auto-targeting shuts off when you aim manually.
- If you are equipped with the Cloak ability, it will slow down enemy lock-ons when active, while you are a Pilot.
- Give it some time. Fired continuously, the Spitfire LMG kicks heavily on the first few shots, but stabilizes soon afterward.
- Arc Grenades disorient and reveal cloaked Pilots.
- The Arc Grenade is highly effective against a Titan’s shields, and temporarily distorts a Titan’s vision.
- Remotely detonate satchels by double tapping the reload button.
- Zap it. The Arc Cannon can destroy rockets in flight.
- The Arc Cannon drains energy from an enemy’s Vortex Shield.
- Pilots can jump above explosions created from Triple Threat grenades.
- Scratch your back! As a Titan, you can use the explosions from your Cluster Missile to hurt a Pilot on your back.
Burn Cards
- Respawn with a vengeance! Remember to select and activate a Burn Card after you die—it will take effect when you respawn.
- Get a head start. Select and activate a Burn Card before the start of every match—it will take effect when you spawn.
- Burn Cards give you special abilities that last until you die or the match ends. Try them out!
- Out of Burn Cards? Challenge yourself—many Challenges have Burn Card rewards.
- Burn Card effects carry over during round-based game modes, such as Last Titan Standing, if you manage to stay alive.
- Make some space. If your Burn Card collection is full, discard or use your existing Burn Cards so that you may earn more.
