Nelle scorse ore, Respawn Entertainment ha rilasciato A Glitch in the Frontier, nuova espansione gratuita di Titanfall 2, che introduce la nuova mappa Glitch, la nuova fazione M.R.V.N. e una nuova mappa Live Fire, dal titolo Deck.
L’update modifica il menu principale, ora più chiaro, e aggiunge la modalità Live Fire tra le opzioni della partita privata. Ecco di seguito il changelog completo dell’aggiornamento (in inglese):
NEW CONTENT
- New Map: Glitch
- New Live Fire Map: Deck
- New Faction: M.R.V.N.
- New Execution: Get to the Point [Pulse Blade]: Unlocks after getting 10 Pilot kills with the Pulse Blade. If you have already achieved the 10 kills it will unlock retroactively
New Featured Modes [we’ll be introducing these at different times in the near future]
- Glitch 24/7: Get a feel for the new map by playing a variety of modes on just the Glitch map
- Marked for Death: 6v6. One member of each team is Marked as targets and both teams must defend their target while trying to kill the other team’s target. Once one of the marked players are killed, the surviving Mark’s team is rewarded a point. After a few seconds, new Marks are chosen. First team to 10 kills wins.
- Titan Brawl: Think of this as Team Deathmatch with just Titans. 5v5 mode with Titans only [no ejecting] and respawning. Each kill counts for 1 point and first team to 30 points wins.
- Iron Last Titan Standing: It’s the Last Titan Standing you know and love with a few new rules. 5v5 with no ejecting and no batteries.
NEW FEATURES
- Main Menu Update: We dressed things up a bit with new background videos, updates, and tiles with rad stuff we think you should check out
- Increase Pilot Gen to 100
- Added Live Fire mode to Private Match options
- You can now choose between regular, Prime, or random for executions for Titans if you own the Prime Titan
MATCHMAKING AND NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS
