Get your pilot to the next generation with this double XP event.

In celebration of Titanfall 2’s latest free content update Postcards From the Frontier, Respawn has initiated a double XP event for you to rack up your unlocks. The event started August 31st, and will run all the way up until September 5th.

Postcards From the Frontier includes a new Live Fire map called UMA; three new maps added to Frontier Defense with Exoplanet, Drydock and Angel City; a new Execution based on the Amped Wall ability; eight new TitanToons banners; two new modes with Aegis Titan Brawl and Aegis Last Titan Standing which allows players to bring their Aegis Titans out to play in PvP.

The patch also introduces a bunch of other changes, check out the full list here:
