Got more dew codes. Same rules as before. Must have posts in this thread. I'll send anyone two, and if I already sent you two and you didn't get the skin or takedown I'll send you two more. (Honor system people)

Details:
You go to the https://www.dewanddoritos.com website (Not the titanfall one!) and register an account and link your gamertag/PSN/origin ID. From there you enter a code. Each code gives you automatic 1x 2xp and a coliseum ticket. The 2xp is a one-time use, per-match, it's kind of bullshit. When you start a game you'll receive a prompt in the bottom right to activate it if you have the code redeemed. In addition to the above you get a "chance" at the dew ion skin, "in your face" takedown, and early access to Ronin. Only the first two really matter. The takedown is pretty rad.

Just played through the campaign,mostly because I figured I could at least classify it as practice and figure out my optimum loadout. Didn't realize I'd enjoy it so much.I mean,sure,it still ain't Shakespeare,but A Boy and his Robot is still a massive upgrade over the first game's "story".
I am a tad disappointed you don't get to fight Whatshisface at the end. Guess you need your EA-mandated sequel/DLC hooks.

I've said it before, but I think Northstar's sniper gimmick and flight gimmick should have been two separate Titans. Maybe give the flying one the quad-rockets from T1 and then give the sniper some sort of active camouflage or something.

I'm curious how fast the new legion kit will shoot the second power shot. It does a surprising amount of damage, like a charged north star shot.

Also, does North stars piercing shot work on barriers/shields or only Titans?

Pretty amateur question (I'm level 5) but are the titan classes/chassis locked to a specific weapon?

In the first game I could pick a chassis and a gun, is that option locked behind a certain level or have they simplified things?

The chassis are more generalized here. Ronin is shotgun and sword, Scorch is lumbering firemonster etc. You've got customization options that can change the behavior of certain abilities, but you can't exchange weapons and abilities.

Alright so you just started titanfall 2, and you're thinking, I'm getting all these creds, what should I get?!

I know, I know, you're eyeing that shotgun, and the smart pistol. WELL WAIT JUST ONE MINUTE MY FRIEND!

First off play video games, have fun and get what you wanna get. Now you want the dirt? Alright follow these steps to ensure you're unlocking quality first and foremost.

Do you like to help teammates and build titans incredibly quick? Get low profile asap, it may just as well be the best perk in the game.

Do you like to blow up titans and lay traps? Get satchels, they unlock late as hell but absolutely can decimate titans and pilots alike (set it up on the bank for a beaucoup bucks surprise).

You want to just be a pro and use the best tactical? Get phase shift, it is hands down the best (I DID NOT SAY MOST FUN!)

You want to run and gun like a dick? Well good news is you get stims super quick (lvl 3) so spend your money on the volt. Best smg in the game, the others are good too but the volt is hands down the best for people who never want to ads.

You want the best AT weapon? Well they all unlock pretty quick but the Thunderbolt is the best one, but they all have they're uses (don't use charge hack, its a gimmick bad pilots use!)

You want the best titan? Its pretty cheap you could pick up tone, they all unlock at low levels though.

You want to farm grunts and do nothing else in your life? Get the EPG and consider buying the smart pistol boost.

Congratulations pilot, you're now sperging your way to the top!

Do tell about the AT weapons? My thunderbolt shots always just sail on by doing gently caress all damage. Also the charge hack laser seems to be really useful in building Titan meter and staying on the move.

The best thing about the Thunderbolt is that it feels like it charges your Titan meter really fast. It does decent damage and it has more range than the MGL, but I still feel like the MGL is my preferred AT weapon because it seems to do the most damage.

FrothyOmen was a competitive TF1 player, he goes over all the equipment in this video, charge rifle/mag launcher being the best AT weapons by far.

Thunderbolt shoots a slow moving, enemy piercing, AOE that can hit multiple times. Unless you're hitting direct shots with the ball you're not doing much damage, but when you fire it into a mess of Titans it generates a whole lot of meter.

MGL is definitely the most deeps, only issue is it's pretty easy to get out ranged. Really, all the AT weapons are good they just have their own niche.

There's a lot of talk that maybe Titan executions are a little glitchy and don't always activate when they should. Don't know why but it definitely seems to be true. But yeah, just melee when they're doomed.

RE: Thunderbolt - I don't have any concrete evidence but I think it might actually do more damage if you let it sail by the enemy instead of landing directly. More time to do splash damage that way. I could be wrong though.

AT weapon roundup (from best to worst):

Thunderbolt: OK, here's the thing about the thunderbolt: it loving wrecks poo poo. FIrst off, you don't need to hit a titan directly to do damage. If a titan is standing still and you shoot the thunderbolt right over its shoulder, it will do about 1/3 - 1/2 of pip damage to the titan. If you hit it directly it will generally do just under a full pip of damage.

But here's the thing, the indirect damage is where the thunderbolt crushes. Say the enemy has four titans all grouped up down a corridor. Toss a thunderbolt just over their heads and you will do 1/3-1/2 a pip of damage on each of their titans. That right there will probably give you half titan build meter off one shot.

A tone dropped a shield? Shoot the thunderbolt around the side or over top and still do that indirect damage. If there is only one titan, sure try and hit him directly but if there are more just use it for that sweet sweet indirect damage. The area of effect is surprisingly huge and while against one target its not amazing against multiple it really stacks up damage incredibly.

Archer heavy rocket: I know what you're thinking. That slow rear end rocket?! Yes. It loving destroys titans. Yes it can be dodged by a competent pilot, yes it gives them a locking notification, but a direct hit does almost an entire pip's worth of damage, and if you amp it it does 1.6 pips of damage, 1.6! An amped archer will one shot a doomed titan. Use it in conjunction with cloak and the lock notification means you likely won't get retaliated against. Also one of the best post-eject AT weapons. Its really good and often overlooked.

Maglauncher - The second best indirect fire AT weapon. Use its massive arch and magnetic lock on to your advantage. Never expose yourself to an enemy titan. It actually has the highest DPS against a single titan in the game. However its limited range is it's achilles heel. However, again, that can be managed by making sure you arch it over obstacles so the nearby titans can't gib you.

Charge rifle - Its still really good, but it got nerfed. It has damage fall off and it does a pretty pathetic amount at distance. However amping it removes the fall off, an amped charge rifle is pretty darn good! Don't use charge hack. Charge rifle is already a giant laser pointer telling the titans to "shoot here"! Charge hack just lets you put out more and more of those little laser pointers. Best used on fast moving classes imo. Don't forget you can feather your trigger to keep a charge rifle almost at full charge to fire at a notice.

You can start nuke eject while in the phase dimension!

I actually did these tests last night in a private match. Engaging a single titan it is always better to go for a direct hit. However as soon as there is more than one enemy titan letting it sail close by but not impacting will do more DPS and generate more build time.

The ball itself does 200 damage, each tick of the lightning arcs does 150. If you hit a titan with the Thunderbolt you're doing way less damage than if you purposefully graze it.
