During the data mining of the new Titanfall 2-DLC “Störimpuls im Grenzland”, details about three unreleased Titans have now been found.
The developers regularly release DLCs for Titanfall 2 that include new Titans, game modes, and maps. During the data mining of the latest DLC, a Reddit user found information about three Titans that have not been released yet. There are also details about the game mode “Frontier Defense”.
Ramm, Archon, and Monarch Titan
Ramm: The unreleased Berserker, or Fighter-Ogre Titan, had a change in its code that reduced the angles of the Titan’s punch. Ramm was already found in a previous data mine. Since that finding a few months ago, nothing has changed about it. The recent change in the new DLC code suggests that work is still being done on this Titan.
Archon: This Titan was recently “unearthed” and only received a minor name adjustment in the game files.
Monarch: During the data mining, a few changes to the development of the Monarch Titan were noted. This unreleased Titan received a change to its Superior chassis. This now increases the Monarch’s health by 15,000 points instead of 10,000. Additionally, it has new unique assets instead of using the animations of the Tone Titans.
Frontier Defense
If you haven’t played the original Titanfall, you probably won’t recognize this name. Frontier Defense is a game mode where you must defeat waves of enemies. It is played in co-op mode where you need to defend a Harvester alongside three other players. You will be interrupted by IMC units that become stronger with each new wave of enemies.
This game mode has not yet been added to Titanfall 2, but it has received some changes in the game data. This indicates active development of Frontier Defense.
- “Mortar Spectres will utilize the Archer weapon with the Mortar mod.” The user who conducted the data mining mentions that these attackers will not target the Harvester but are likely trained to disrupt the pilots.
- Boss Titans for each class.
- Cloak Drones for Engineer Pilots.
- Specialists had their model set to be the Shield Captains.
- Pilot and Titan Sentries had separate player-types added for Frontier Defense.
- A separate system of currency for PVE.
- Models for Droz and Davis are being loaded with “FD” prefixes.
Mods, Abilities, and Executions
- A new Titan Ability was added for Nuke Ejection. This is likely an ability for Frontier Defense.
- It also has references to a “Spider” passive and an “Ordnance Core.”
- The Boost Activation “weapon” was updated to support a “Nuke Titan” boost.
- The Archer has received a “Mortar Mode” mod.
- The Kraber has received a “PVE Elite” mod. The mod raises its damage from 49 per round to 70 when used by NPCs, which may point to sniper Spectres.
These two new executions for Prime Ronin and Tone were found in the execution menu screens:
- Tone: Target Acquired
- Ronin: Thunder and Lightning
More Changes
The minimap is expected to be better configurable due to size adjustments and zooming. The code also references a “Boost Store” that may belong to the Frontier Defense Store.
