If a Titanfall 2 player wants the strongest loadout, they don’t need to look any further than this list of the game’s best weapons.
Both Titanfall and Titanfall 2 helped change the shooter genre by giving players more things to do and more ways to fight. Titanfall’s gameplay was made more interesting by adding platforming, which made the game go up and down. Also, the huge titans make each match a lot of fun to play and make the game feel more real. Titanfall 2 went even further than the first game by making the titans more flexible and the pilots more adaptable. This is why players have been asking for a third entry.
One way this happened was through the weapons pilots used against both enemies and titans. Players will have fun no matter what loadout they choose because the guns offer different things for different ways to play. But there are a few weapons that stand out because they make players fight more aggressively and help them understand how Titanfall works better. These are the best weapons in Titanfall 2 that get the job done.
Archer Heavy Rocket
The titans can be a problem, especially if the whole enemy team is in their mechs and moving around. When this happens, the enemy team can quickly double their points, which also speeds up the time it takes for their ultimates to charge. But luckily, Titanfall 2 lets people who aren’t in titans fight back in other ways. Another thing that sets Titanfall 2 apart from other shooters is that players on foot can hold their own even when the battlefield is full of titans. Each titan in the game works in a different way, and some are stronger than others. Luckily, the Archer Heavy Rocket is an anti-titan weapon that makes most of them useless.
It does two things. First, it fires a rocket that does a lot of damage. Second, it stuns the titan, which lets a nearby teammate do a second attack. Also, if a player jumps out of their titan, they can aim down and shoot at it. Then they can get back on the ground and keep attacking. The main problem with this weapon, though, is that it only fires one rocket before players have to reload. So, while it does a lot of damage, players only get one shot before they have to reload. Since the Archer Heavy Rocket can lock on to its target and takes a while to reload, it’s best to use it from a long distance.
Hemlock
Players who have already started playing Apex Legends will know how the Hemlock works. Its burst fire and limited range will give players a fun way to play. The Hemlock works best in close-quarters battles and “run and gun” situations. Because, as we’ve already said, it has a wide range. Even though it has a low stat, it makes up for it in damage. Titanfall 2 has a lot of different game modes, and the Hemlock won’t work as well in all of them.
But capture the flag, which is done very well in Titanfall 2, shows off the best parts of the Hemlock, which is that accuracy goes up as players get closer to their enemies. During those times, this is important because the faster the enemy dies, the more shots the player can land. That’s because it fires in short bursts. When the team needs to make a push, the triple shots become a matter of life and death.
CAR
This SMG is probably the most versatile in its class. It does a lot of damage, has a surprising long range for an SMG, and fires at a steady rate. The CAR looks like an SMG, but it has all the features of an assault rifle. This makes it one of the easiest weapons in its class to use. Not only easy to use, but also makes players in Titanfall 2 better able to adapt to any situation or game mode. Its run-and-gun style of play can make players more aggressive, and since it’s a faster gun, it can also block enemy fire while moving.
Also, players can fight with the CAR from a distance, which is something most SMGs in the game can’t do. When players have a fast gun that can fight from a distance, things can get more interesting. Titanfall 2 also has a feature called “freerunning,” which lets players run sideways or up walls. When doing these things, the CAR is a great weapon to have. Since other pilots will be doing the same thing, this gun will kill them quickly.
Mastiff
Since most of the guns in Titanfall 2 are also in Apex Legends, players who know how to use the guns in Apex Legends will know how to use the Mastiff. Both games show how dangerous the Mastiff can be. It does a lot of damage but isn’t very accurate and fires at a medium rate. And those are even more important for a shotgun. The Mastiff is near the top of the list because it’s a good shotgun for both Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends. Even though it’s not very accurate, players shouldn’t use it from far away.
So they would only need to fire one shot to kill the enemy right away. This weapon is good for players who want the high damage of the Peacemaker and the fast fire rate of the EVA-8, but want something easier to use. It will make their loadout stronger. But the problem with this shotgun is that players need to be close to their enemies to use it. Even though the Mastiff is more accurate than the Peacemaker, which is its opposite, there is still a chance that they will miss their shot because the spread isn’t very big. But once players get this shotgun, they should try it out.
Flatline
The Flatline is a pretty good assault rifle. It doesn’t fire as fast as some others, but it makes up for that in a number of other ways. The Flatline works just like it does in Apex Legends, in that it is easy to use, has low recoil, and does a lot of damage. It’s a great replacement for the R-201 because it has many of the same features, such as damage and recoil. The Flatline is also a great gun for firing back, so if a player is surrounded by enemies, they can use the weapon’s devastating damage to get some space.
But if they use the Flatline, which is a slower weapon, players should fight from a distance. Players’ hits will do a lot of damage, but it will take them a few seconds to hit the same spot every time, which is best done from a distance. But everything else about the Flatline makes it a good assault rifle, except for how fast it fires. Players should use its benefits.
R-201
A “Jack-of-all-trades” weapon makes the game more interesting because players can use it in many different ways and always get the same result. This is clear in the spinoff game Slope Game, since the R-201’s older brother, the R-301, has a lot of the same qualities, which is why it can be used with a lot of different load-outs. The same thing is said in Titanfall 2, which is because the R-201 is a highly reliable and versatile assault rifle. The reason is that it does a lot of damage, fires quickly, has almost no recoil, and is good at pushing enemies back.
When the R-201 and the Flatline are used together, they become very dangerous. But the R-201 is a threat on its own and makes players fight more aggressively. Titanfall 2 players can get into the flow of battle when they can change how they fight. This makes them more creative with this weapon. Also, most assault weapons are slower and feel more sluggish when running along walls. With the R-201, however, this is not the case; players can do these tricky moves with this gun.
Titanfall 2 is now available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC.
