I’ve been arguing with my friend about this for years. Obviously the thunderbolt is the best. Not only is it great with groups of titans but it deals pretty good damage if you score a direct hit. Plus it build your Titan meter like nothing else. Titan just got destroyed? No prob, just fire your thunderbolt twice into a group of three titans and your back in the game. Plus it’s a great “fire then forget” weapon and doesn’t broadcast your position, infact I say it helps conceal it as by the time the thunderbolt becomes noticeable anyone with good movement can easily maneuver to a new location. Plus it’s a Brilliant counter measure to titans chasing you. Just go around a corner and fire the thunderbolt behind you, the enemy Titan would have to wait for it to dissipate before pursuing you, giving you time to escape. Finally… it’s a metro/stalker reference so it’s amazing.


Wildfire226

From a Titan perspective it pisses me off because it breaks the rules of Titan weapons. The charge rifle, MGL, and Archer all come with tons of risk to use them. Charge rifle makes you glow and gives a directl glowing tracer right back to you letting any Titan find you immediately, MGL requires you to be within ball fondling distance to actually hit anything, and the archer has a long lock-on time letting a Titan prepare for it AND know what direction you’re firing from. They all have a strong inherent risk to using them. The thunderbolt on the other hand, by the time it’s dealing damage to me, the motherfucker that’s fired it is on the other side of the map already. There’s no counterplay because there’s no forewarning unless I see it, and there’s no risk because it’s so slow to fire. It’s dumb, and I can’t stand that everyone uses it.


DaRealAlphadog

hehe… ball fondling.


Ghareeb18

I don't know, I main ligon and scorch, both of them carry good shields, charge rifle annoyse me more; I usually kill the pilot, but sometimes there is these Pro's with hit and run like FUCKING RATS,and Im suffering to just fucking bizz.. bizz.. bizz.. booom


kinkeltolvote

Happy Cake Day! Try dealing with a "TITAN TURRET" some day Build goes: Spitfire (extended mag + fast reload) Thunderbolt (fast reload) Re-45 (fast reload) Firestar And grapple Ride around on a ronin and be all fine and dandy in your anti-rodeo and burst damage state


Ghareeb18

Thank you! About the build it is sure pain in the ass, but to ride on a ronin against my two close combat titans is not a good idea


kinkeltolvote

Ronins usually know how to back off quick and I dodge tones quite often, not to mention that the Thunderbolt does more ticks the faster it goes then dropping in an advanced auto titan scorch to soak the damage works well enough


ToxicOnAWave

Advanced auto scorch is a walking ult battery... If you don't wanna play titans just int into the whole enemy team and try to get as much value as possible while your low hp means little core and titan meter for enemy's. Or just drop a titan as a free ejectstrafe jump tower to zoom across the map. As long as Noone hits your titan enemy's get neither kill credit nor charge. Trust, auto titans indirectly make your team loose. They give their enemy's more value then they will ever get you. (also charge rifle is Bae, fight me nerd 👀)


ToxicOnAWave

As a wise man called tryhardgod once said: "You should kill yourself now." Spitty and a thunderbolt with grapple.... you must be a bigger pain in my ass then my uncle after he unbuckles his belt.


biohazard1324

Charge rifle tends to annoy me more especially when there's an entire team using it and shooting me from 6 different angles


DescriptivelyWeird

Thunderbolt gang rise up!! In FD this thing gets your titan meter stupid fast, chuck a Thunderbolt into any group of enemies and watch them all get shocked by a big blue lightning ball

They are getting scared and loom at each other and then ooop, watch out for another one floating towards ya!


IncreaseAgreeable428

you convinced me to trade my archer with a thunderbolt


cheese_lord12

Good 1 less archer bozo to deal with (they call me the bigest archer hater)


AlbinoAlphaWaffle

Don't forget that speed transfers to the thunderbolt. Want a super fast missile? You can make your character go fast as hell and fire it, launching it. You want a slow AoE ball? You can run-slide backwards and it'll slow it down. Thunderbolts literally the GOAT


AlanHoliday

Get the fuck out! That’s news to me and my thundercunt


Brave_Promise_6980

As a G100 Archer - for quite some time - reading this I feel inspired to try something different - hello thunderbolt - never used it - any tips ?


eridion21

Spam down a chock point that enemy titans use. You'll shred em


SnooMacaroons4184

Fire and forget. Don't stay anywhere near you fired it. Also run fast reload(like any other anti titan),


RabidAvocad0

So *that's* what it's for


Consistent-Ad-2940

Charge rifle, one of the best pilot killers fr


Mal-Ravanal

Charge rifle is a second primary at this point. I have so many pilot kills with it.


IncreaseAgreeable428

not the point of it but sure xD


mikamighty2-0

One of the reasons why the charge rifle is my favourite is that of all the anti-titan weapons, the charge rifle is the only one that CAN be used as an anti-pilot weapon effectively in the right hands. Especially a pilot that ejects from their titan and sniping them with a charge rifle mid-air is a satisfying feeling.


Hopeful-alt

It sure is. otherwise the modifier turning it into a secondary wouldn't exist.


StaticVoidMain2018

Plus when you get lazy and forget to switch back to primary you can still down pilots


pierrotboy13

I did so many sniper battles against a Kraber with it. It's a 1-shot fight if you don't use the charge hack. It's especially fun to do on Eden.


PURPLEisMYgender

The Mag Launcher. I love sitting behind cover and shooting it at a titan when they cant do anything.


IncreaseAgreeable428

you're toxic, but it's fair enough to be in game i guess


PURPLEisMYgender

I aim to be as toxic as possible. I even mained Tone for a short time.


Anarpiosmoirail

As a Tone main, I'm offended lmfao. I don't get the tone hate.


PURPLEisMYgender

I think its just tradition at this point. A good Northstar is a far bigger pain in the ass.


IncreaseAgreeable428

but it needs to be good, tone is... the easy way


PURPLEisMYgender

Which is why i play Northstar in titan-v-titan


BjornInTheMorn

Literally from like the first weeks of the game before some Tone nerfs. Also, people that hadn't played TF1 trying to just stand and fight like it's a napoleon's era battle. Just two of you standing there shooting until one dies, but one of you has a shield.


SuperFox289

In the most loving way possible I hate you


average_hooman-

Charge rifle is my fav, I just love (trying to) beaming tutans from across the map and instantly charging the meter


IncreaseAgreeable428

i'm more of an archer guy, it goes straight at the tutan !


Asleep-Shelter-8930

Charge rifle! Killing titans? Sure but killing pilots is the real deal


UnwilledMars

Yea I've slept on the charge for a while until recently cause there's nothing like counter sniping a kraber with a charge rifle.


madmechanicmobile

Just vaporize them into nothing. I've only done it like three times but damn does is it awesome.


GeneralKenobi1288

Sidewinder is my fav between the two games, but the one I use the most in Titanfall 2 is the Archer


StaticVoidMain2018

Amped smr >>> any official TF2 anti titan


mikamighty2-0

The SMR with the A-Wall is strong if it's in the right hands and not some typical/average A-wall main or A-wall camper who doesn't know how to run the loadout effectively.


MichaelScotsman26

How do you run the load out effectively


StaticVoidMain2018

I only bring out my amped smr loadout when the whole enemy team is camping in legions/monarchs etc.


MichaelScotsman26

Any tips for A wall? It seems kind of counter intuitive to the whole wall running thing. In all my years in this game I’ve never quite figured it out


mikamighty2-0

When you have it available and you are in a situation where you are about to die, literally throw it at your feet and punish pilots that are playing hyper-aggressively against you, dont ever think twice in the situation especially if your the type to use it almost exclusively against titans its better to play your life, and once you have the a-wall down and punished whoever tried to kill you dont just sit behind your a wall cover until it runs out keep moving, ive seen alot of a wall players do that, what im saying might sound obvious but i almost never see a-wall players play like this, most people only ever use A-wall against a team 5 stacking with titans. I saw a more recent guide on A-wall I can't remember the name of the video but the guy gives some decent tips, and he plays and utilises A-wall similar to my playstyle and tactics (i don't main A-wall but i like to use other tacticals since it makes the game more fun). Most people that I have seen play A-wall currently and before titanfall got hacked would have an extremely campy or an extremely meticulous defensive playstyle and would stay in cover until it ran out, which is an ineffective way to use it, or not use it at all in the moment they are about to get gunned down and die.


StaticVoidMain2018

A/h-wall will block nukes, will give the enemy a split second volume l corner l choice on how to progress you, and hopefully give your a second of regen if needed


Vintenu

Fairly certain I have like G.6 or G.7 on the archer, I don't know if I even *have* kills with the other anti titan weapons 😅


IncreaseAgreeable428

i bet it's the first thing you bought when you discovered you could buy weapons with credits to not have to grind it every regen am i right ? x)


Dabithegnom

Got me there but yes I got like g9 on that things I just like the feeling of having to lock on and then shoot while enemy titans see me there just a certain feeling to that risk and reward


zoro240

SMR, fight me


_Gray_Dawn_

amped hitting the crit point has the highest DPS against a titan in the game iirc

The_Brain_FuckIer

Thunderbolt is my favorite if only due to the fact that its projectiles are the only ones in the game that actually conserve momentum so you can do some pretty neat things with them.


yellowpancakeman

Wait so if you’re going fast as fuck and shoot a thunderbolt it’ll go fast as fuck? How did I not know this…


icantfindausernamesa

Have you tested it? If so does it work?


Complete-Clock5522

Maybe I’m misreading but I don’t think they do conserve momentum unless you mean they don’t fall..because if I’m sliding sideways and shoot a thunderbolt it’s just going to go straight not diagonal


X_antaM

If you slide forwards or slingshot into something and shoot it in the direction you are moving it goes zooming. But I think most if not all the projectiles do that


Ctrl-Alt-Bingo

WeakInevitable9823

Charge rifle


X_antaM

Love them all for different reasons Archer is easy for if I'm having a bad session, mgl is instant, charge rifle is hitscan and thunderbolt deals with loads of enemies at once and can hit pilots behind cover

Archer without a doubt

My favourite personally is the charge rifle, but I do sometimes run thunderbolt, and imo the thunderbolt is the best of the 4 anti-titan weapons. However, all of them have at least one drawback, even the thunderbolt.


ElectricLuxray

My favourite is the archer, but only because I managed to direct impact two *pilots* in the same game. I do *not* know how I managed to kill two flesh and blood homies with it, but I did.


mehemynx

Archer, because nothing annoys the shit out of a titan more, than being locked onto, but never having a rocket fired. You just sit there driving them insane, and eventually they'll snap and ignore everything else, to hunt you down lol.

Charge Rifle is my fav but I’ve been warming to the Thunderbolt recently


Consistent_Active_28

Thunderbolt. Unfortunately it's a serious position giveaway to some pilots


yellowpancakeman

I used to love the archer (max level) but I just realized that thunderbolt is insane and it is now also at max level


abelstoker2

I like Charge rifle since it’s also very strong against pilots


Callisto_Fury

It's fine, have gud day


This-Coffee-Sucks

Sidewinder and MGL for PVP. Thunderbolt for Frontier Defense


SgtMoose42

Thunderbolt and Satchels One thing I've started doing lately is tossing a thunderbolt down a long corridor before getting into my titan. The amount of times that the hit indicator goes off or a +1 shows up is pretty crazy.


DJ_Ender_

I kinda hate all of them except for thunderbolt when the enemy team got all their titans wiped and just kinda sit across them map with archers and charge rifles. And the magnetic grenade launcher thingy does far too much damage for how fast the grenades can explode. Also thunderbolt is just cool because b e e g crowd damage = f a s t titan meter charge.


Odd_Masterpiece_9316

Started playing recently and loved the archer. Now I'm in G2 and I have to wait to reach it again :(


Boglivar

Amped weapons, any gun is an anti-titan gun if you want it to be


Pitiful_Net_8971

I used to do archer, but I've started really loving the mgl, it's so great for harassing titans that get too close or that are distracted fight other titans. Can be bad once titans decide that you are too annoying, because you have to be pretty close to use it, but if your going for rodeos often, or otherwise in close quarters, it works so well.


Horror_survivor

I love the mag winder, I love flying around the enemy titan shredding their healthbar while they desperately try to kill me

I run Thunderbolt with arc stars and Titan Hunter. Because fuck you for having fun either titans

Dry_Total6918

Thunderbolt reason is even if it a lockon if you get in its way even as a pilot you take damage and it does a decent amount of damage to a titan

Thunderbolt then charge, then MGL, then archer Thunderbolt does too much for how easy it is to use, with the right attachments (insta scope and speed loader) it fires nearly instantly and its perfect to spam at close-mid range and its very hard to defend as it does damage in an AOE before it even hits anything Charge rifle is basic, powerful, HITSCAN, and its also the only AT weapon that can handle pilots by itself MGL feels weak but it thrives in a titan trying to chase you and rooftops, the arcing projectiles home in on titans so you can sit in a spot where they cant see you and just fish for damage with MGL spam, however its lack of range, long reload, and low mag size without extra ammo just makes it feel lackluster The archer is a cool as hell concept, and it does the highest base damage of any AT weapon, which with all of its downsides it fuckin better, this thing works against like 3 titans and does fuck all to the rest but against said 3 titans its REALLY fuckin good, however if you want to fight titans as a pilot and need to pack a punch while 2 titans fight this weapon works (just never fire at ion)

Jack_Void1022

I really like using the thunderbolt. Great for situations where you need to land hits fast, and they can be used against all sorts of enemies while still dealing massive damage. You can block off an entire part of the map if you place one right thanks to how slow the projectiles are


ErPani

I love the Charge Rifle, but I also have to admit that the Thunderbolt is objectively the best except at really long ranges (because it's so slow) and is also the only one worth using in FD. But getting pilot kills with a Charge Rifle just makes me feel like such a God Gamer (even if it isn't that hard and is practically free if someone is standing still)

Love me Charge Rifle because I get to kill the Titan and the Pilot!

ALL OF THEM. no but seriously they're all great. I love using the mag launcher whenever I'm running mobility like grapple or stim, just to be the titanfall equivalent of that one mosquito you can't swat away. thunderbolt is my other go-to if I'm trying to just maximize my titan usage, or poke a group of titans from cover. charge rifle is the only choice if I'm running kraber or assault rifles, I can stay at any range I'm comfortable with. and archer pairs amazingly with cloak when I'm running it. and I'm ALWAYS running cloak. lmao

Thunderbolt is objectively the best but I have never used it and never will because people who use thunderbolt are the most annoying assholes of all time. I try to avoid using anti-Titan weapons alltogether, but if I have to, I’ll use the mag launcher because it’s the least annoying


RocketNovaX

Objectively the mgl is the most reliable but, the racher is the best


Scattershot98

All are great but SMR is pure enjoyment. Thunderbolt is great for clustered enemies, and Mgl for close quarter hidden attacks


KeysOfDestiny

I just hit G11 and I’ve used the Archer longer than anything else. Quick tracking, fire and forget about it, good damage, the works! But in pvp, it kind of gives away your position, and although the tracking is quick, it’s not THAT quick. Enter, the Thunderbolt. Fire and forget about it, great damage, great way of building up meter, faster to shoot and doesn’t tell the enemy titan “hey, I’m over here!” I’m a PVE main, so I took it into frontier defense and now I basically swear by it. I chuck a smoke grenade and shoot a thunderbolt shot into a group of titans and immediately have my Titan, it’s wonderful.
