Since i used credits for low profile, I'll be able to keep that, though?

If you regen, you will go to generation 2 level 1 and lose access to everything except for Low Profile and any gear available at level 1. When you re-unlock titans or the Volt (or any other weapon), those will be whatever level they currently are.
Low Profile is locked. It was unlocked for you because you bought it, presumably.

How does regeneration work for titans and guns? I assume for guns at 20 (or 21?) you'll have the option to regenerate it, re-locking all the attachments? What level do titans regenerate at?

Guns and titans don't lose their unlocks when they regenerate

What gives weapons XP? Pilot/titan kills only? I'm trying to level my MGL, but it's hard to get XP when I don't strike a killing blow specifically. Does dooming titans make XP?

I think you get a pip for assists with the AT weapons. My MGL is like G6 or something from just constant use.

Oh, thanks! Can anyone confirm this? Is it the same across the PC and console versions?

Wait, what is XP? I thought pilot levelling was based on merits, and guns/titans levelled on kills? Or is it just that everything will count for double?

It's felt like my MGL has only gotten points on Titan Kills? I remember tagging a lot of titans with the anti-titan laser beam a whole bunch and I don't think it has any points/levels yet.

If it's like the doritos codes, it'll double the number of merits you get at the end of a match. So your weapons will go up up at the same speed, but your level will increase twice as fast

If you already have a battery, you'll instead drop a grenade into the battery port. Those are the only two options.


e: "option" might be too generous of a word, they do the same amount of damage (I think?). You're just given a different animation depending if you have a battery on you or not.

It's a shame there isn't an option to drop both Satchels after pulling the battery. Satcheling isn't the most effective tactic, but it is by far the most fun being able to do it as part of the rodeo attack would just make it more hilarious and fun.

Finally hit 50 and regenerated last night! After re-unlocking it, I finally used the L-Star with the grapple kit. It's... not the worst? I can see it being pretty bad in sweaties but tarzanning around and magdumping stupid red lasers like a coked up stormtrooper was a lot of fun.

Edit: I think it's because it feels like it has a usable hipfire compared to the sidewinder.

What does extra ammo even do on the LSTAR? Make it so it doesn't overheat as quickly?

Yeah, L-Star's probably my favourite MG, even if it's not the best. That would be Devotion but you can't really Go Fast (tm) with it and it doesn't explode people.

Not gonna lie, I pretty much play all my loadouts, except Grenadier, like I play SMGs.

You used to, but it seems like they broke something in the patch since none of my weapons have been getting pips for assists anymore. Pre-patch you used to get pips for any type of assist, pilot or titan, but I used the Thunderbolt a whole bunch the other day only only got a single pip towards leveling it over the course of a dozen games or so because none of the assists gave it any pips.

Same problem here. I use the thunderbolt much more often now but it's stuck at level 2 because it never gets the finishing blow.

Getting hits should level an AT weapon regardless of whether or not you get the killing blow.

Hence me saying that they broke it in the Angel City patch

Before the patch I managed to get the Thunderbolt to level 3 in a single match just by firing it randomly at Titans, after it I only get pips for killing blows

Nah, he's just saving up all his Holopilot Novas and using them at the end of the match. You can stack your Boosts and they don't overwrite each other.

Yeah, that makes sense. I regenerated my first time the night of the patch, and hadn't used the MGL in super long, so I just figured that I had gotten way rusty with it.

Does killing Reapers yield XP, or did it pre-patch?

I didn't know this. That explains the earlier linked video where there were 3-4 sentry turrets down.

Is there any visual indicator or HUD icon reflecting that you have multiple boosts stored? Because I don't think I've seen any.

I started using the MGL after the patch and it has definitely leveled just from landing hits.

At the bottom left there'll be a indicator for your boost and tickboxes next to it if it has more than one use. They ticks will stack up as you acquire more.
