Top 5 ways to get the best out of your Titan
Map: War Games – Pilots on the Frontier frequently use simulator pods to train, using life-like recreations of historical battles as combat scenarios. War Games highlights the civilian shops, tall buildings for window-to-window fighting, and city streets for Titan combat from the Battle of Angel City, and the large, open tank garage facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra. The outskirts of the map feature a clean, VR style perfect for Titan duels, while Pilots are often found running along the bright, interconnected wall running routes.
Live Fire Map: Traffic –A weathered test site where pilot positioning is pitted against mobility across two busy thoroughfares. Dense cover makes every corner a threat, with room for snipers to hide in the back fields.
The rest of the free DLC update’s content includes,
New Execution: Shadow Boxing [Holo Pilot]
Get 20 pilot kills while a holopilot ability is active (Both normal holopilot and boost ability holopilot nova count.) Does not retroactively count.

There will also be some additional details for balance changes, features, and updates, that will be provided in the patch notes closer to launch.
Titanfall 2 may have launched to poor sales, but the stream of free DLC Respawn has provided seems to be keeping the player base healthy. It helps that Titanfall 2 is also a splendid shooter both in singleplayer and multiplayer. Here at PSU we awarded the game a 9.5/10, calling it ‘frenetic, enthralling, and inventive’.
