What a horrible thread to have a post.
For real fun, save up all your Dice Rolls and become some weird super-villain who pulls a bunch of magic devices out of his PDA at the end of the match.

Just remember it's first in, first out.

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.

Only annoying thing is that you can only use them in the reverse order you recieve them. So if you use the random boost (like me) you have to use the completely useless phase rewind to get to the good stuff.

Nope, you have to activate it during a match, so feel free to play away and sit on the boost until you're ready

Awesome! Titanfall 2 is easily my favorite arcade FPS since MW2. I hope they do another free weekend soonish as I've talked to a handful of people who wrote it off completely after the beta and that weekend created enough buzz that they finally realized their friends hyping it up aren't just in that post-release honeymoon phase.

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.

L-star is really underrated. It's much more map dependent than most guns and grapple probably isn't something you'd wanna use it with. Try cloak, stim, or phase. Once you get the shoot while sprinting mod it's really fun

idk how anyone plays without autosprint on tbh


Pops Mgee posted:

I've tried both stim and phase shift and can't get into it. Grapple is the only kit that feels right for me.

Stim can be fun but yeah, I hardly use it to its advantage. Phase shift is the same. They're both great for stealing batteries and ejecting though. I wish grapple had a lower cooldown

Lemon-Lime posted:

Yeah.

It's 5 more shots before overheat, so completely not worth it.

Oh. Thanks. Didn't realize I was wasting a mod slot

You can't slidehop with autosprint on, so they're playing significantly faster then you?

I've worked my way through the entire LMG list and I absolutely love all of them, but I popped over to the Volt to level it and the "balance" between hitscan and projectile weapons in this game seems absurd.
Your winrate doubles with a hitscan weapon

I could see myself being a lot more lucky with the L-star if I could cloak and phase shift but I use the grapple for so many weird jumps and shortcuts that i'd just feel kneecapped without it

that's cause the vast majority of people on console are shitters using default controls and a carbine. they are basically playing half the game, zooming around the map is a lot of fun. the other half is flanking people that don't know how to move and exploding them from the inside out while they cry about "exploits".

People are loving terrible at Bounty Hunt. If I'm playing with pubs, I'll dominate the match probably 80% of the time by a comically large margin and I'm not even that good at the game. Like I said earlier I got 3650 points in BH once with zero kills and my team still lost. Gamers are just horrible at objective based stuff.

If I play with a group of goons the score tends to even out more.

So what do all of you do in terms of pilot loadouts? Do you decide on loadouts that you like and stick with them, or do you keep switching things up?

Pretty much since I started playing the game, I've been trying to Gen (at least once) all of the weapons. It's not something to brag about in any way, but I like doing it because it keeps things interesting for me.
I've done all of the asssault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, 1 out of 2 shotguns, and 2 out of 3 LMGs. Working on the L-Star and the Mastiff right now.
I have not really touched any of the Grenadier or Pistol weapons... I think I'll eventually give those a shot, but only when I am prepared to accept the fact that I will probably lose many matches in the process.

i switch up loadouts depending on gametype. hardpoint is a lot more satisfying when you rock a shotgun for defence, but it's not like something you want every day

I'm real lovely at the shooting in this game. I was pretty good at COD Blops2 but this is a weird mix of COD and Battlefield and I can't get my ranges right. Plus it's so fast it's hard to get a bead on someone. What awful load out should my poo poo rear end use?

or at least don't use them in close quarters. People keep saying don't use iron sights throughout the thread, which seems like pretty bad advice for most of the guns.

Anyone who impulsively uses iron sights absolutely needs that quick aim perk to not get wrecked though.

Kinda disappointed with the cosmetic poo poo they've added so far. I mean I'm sure they'll be constantly releasing stuff as time goes on but where's my gaudy poo poo to waste money on? I also want to get the prime titan for Ion but I already have my dewitos skin and buffalo wild wing nose art and it negates both of those :/

It'll take a couple weeks but it'll "click" and you'll suddenly be twice as good. For me, a lot of loadouts are simply map dependent. I'll run things like the hemlock and devotion on bigger more spread out maps and SMGs and things like the Lstar on the closer ones. Maps like Angel City drat near require the grapple hook. I don't use the 201 anymore but it's the best all around gun, especially for getting a feel for the game. I won't say never ADS--but you'll wanna ADS in this game A LOT less than you have in any other FPS. Just keep your momentum up and be constantly on the move. It also takes a while to unlock the second mod slot for guns but those will help as well. All the anti-titan guns are pretty good. I prefere the thunderbolt but the MGL and charge rifle are prob the best

For you and anyone else starting out buy the diceroll boost outright. You get it pretty fast and it gives you a nice variety of all the boosts so you can see which you prefer. Even after playing a lot it's still all I use.

Not really though because you aren't getting any points directly into your score unless you bank, and even if you do you can only really get about half of their worth. Most players who only go "hunting" get stomped by us, though in a pub that might be different.

You know, game, I think you kinda messed up on the matchmaking when one guy has 201 points at the end of an attrition match and like one other person has cracked 100. Dude could have singlehandedly beaten our entire team, and I've got no room to talk because I spent the entire game spawning right in front of him and got all of one kill.

And after many attempts I have come to the conclusion that the SMR has no redeeming values. The EPG at least has the gravity star combo.
