Speaking of the smart pistol, in the story if they had that technology the whole time why wasn't every pilot using it?

Outside of Ronin and for executions is the melee on Titans ever worthwhile to use on other Titans?

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

Stealing a battery also looks like an instant kill against any doomed Titan?

This is correct. Only one caveat. You can give a doomed titan a battery and it will gain a shield (though it will remain doomed). If a doomed titan has a shield a rodeo will not insta-kill it. Otherwise hell yeah that titan is dead.

Also SP is worse than tf1, still making it the best weapon in the game :smug:

It depends who you are punching but as a general rule of thumb it can be helpful. With the exception of ronin and MAYBE scorch you probably never want to be that close to another titan anyway but the punch will deal decent damage and it also knocks the enemy titan back (which can be useful to get a ronin with sword core out of your face).

I got three executions in one life with Ronin a few hours ago and I still feel like the biggest loving badass. RULES OF NATURE! :black101:

Somebody mentioned this to me earlier and I was wondering if it was true: if you use the anti rodeo smoke and then crouch will it affect the pilot more? Or does it just put them more in the hitbox so it's harder to escape

It just makes it harder for them to get out of it, there's not some weird smoke inhalation math at work or anything.

Is that the one where he yanks the pilot out, throws them in the air and then pops them with the 40mm? 'Cause someone did that to me and I couldn't even be mad 'cause it was cool as gently caress.

The second one, plus if you look up you can see where they jump and can punch them easier

How do you do Titan executions? I can't figure it out, maybe I'm just bad... actually I am bad at this. One thing I did find out when I was playing with goons in MP the other night is that pilot executions can be interrupted, I managed to punch a guy off one of my teammates during the animation.

That's the one, though personally I prefer Northstar's where she does a leg-swipe and then fires a railgun shot point-blank into the cockpit: it's stylish and rare as hell to see since as a Northstar you really should not be anywhere near an enemy titan unless you go for the Tether+Nuke combo (and even then it's risky).

Don't you have to press and HOLD melee on a doomed titan? I think just tapping the button will only do a normal punch.

I wish the end of Ion's execution was cooler. There's not enough graphical report to the burst of gunfire he fires into the titan's cockpit. It looks like he puts the gun in there, leaves it there for a second and then just removes it again. It could do with some energy bolts coming out the back of the titan, like he's shooting all the way through it.

Does the "pop smoke + back into a wall + look up" trick still work on rodeos? In T1 you could trap the pilot between the wall and your gun and almost guarantee a kill.

Legion is pretty loving sweet too though. His execution lifts the enemy into the air with the tip of his chaingun and shoots through until it's completely impaled. :black101:

I'm kinda partial to Legion's personally; lifting them up vertically by the barrels of your gun and just unloading.

If you ever play Northstar a pro tip from TF1 is, if you got someone on you but used your smoke already, shoot a cluster missile at a wall, get next to the explosion and turn around. It'll kill the pilot before you take too much damage

Yeah BT uploaded part of himself to Jack's helmet during the time travel mission so they could communicate across timelines. Begs the question of why it isn't standard practice for ALL Titan AIs to copy and upload themselves to some sort of central server or cloud all the time instead of just keeping their data in the one place where it's most likely to be destroyed...

Finally got a sub 33.60 second run on the gauntlet and got my achievement. Now to never run the gauntlet again. Had to edit two runs together to make the video though since recording more than 25 seconds on xbone is difficult. That's why the first ghost is waaay faster. (I also didn't want to scrub through the 8 million failed attempts.)

You can go to the Xbox DVR app and record the last 5 minutes of gameplay if you wanted something longer than 30 secs.

You can change it from the edit interface, but it takes 24 hours to change.

Did they buff the ticks since the beta? They seemed kind of lovely but I see people using them a lot now.

Still only been killed by one tick since the game came out though.
