Field Notes

• Having the slowest rate of fire, this is a great weapon for sharpshooters. Take aim, charge up the weapon, and make each shot count. The longer you aim the weapon, the more it charges, resulting in devastating damage output upon the release of its precision projectile.
• The theme for this weapon is “Make each shot count”. You can easily dispose of a Pilot in one shot if you wait for the enemy Pilot to use their second jump. This way they can’t juke out of your line of sight. There’s no need to charge the weapon when engaging Pilots or minions.
• This weapon is the least effective against minions because of the small magazine capacity and slow rate of fire. When killing minions, be sure that no enemy Titans are nearby and try to pick off the Spectres first to get your Core Ability faster. If minions are out in the open, save your ammo and just crush or melee them.
• At a distance, this is the best Titan vs. Titan weapon. The ability to charge up allows you to deal a ton of damage and take off all of the enemy Titan’s shields before they know what hit them. Being a great long-range weapon, the Plasma Railgun excels when paired with the fastest Titan, the Stryder, so you can cruise around the map and avoid the close-range slugfests.
• Extended Magazine is the safest choice for this weapon because it negates one of its biggest drawbacks, limited magazine capacity. Can’t seem to ever get the full charge with the gun? Try the Instant Shot. It has a dramatic decrease in damage but eliminates the charging time so you aren’t vulnerable while waiting to fire off your shot.
