New Titanfall 2 Update Tones Down Two Titans, Nerfs Map Hack

Titanfall 2 is a great game, but like any other title, it’s being constantly patched with new updates and fixes.

Today, EA released an update for the game’s multiplayer that nerfs the overpowered Map Hack ability and rebalances both Tone and Legion titans. The patch is server-side, so you won’t have to download anything.

Map Hack is one of the abilities that Pilots can equip, which reveals where enemies are. The problem with it wasn’t so much that it was useful, it was that it was too overpowered as players could spam it incessantly. The patch makes it so that the skill will now instead pulse instead of being always online.

Tone and Legion are also extremely powerful compared to the other Titans available, making them default picks for many players. The new update intends to scale them to be more in line with the other Titans, although the developer did not elaborate exactly how.

The patch also adds the ability to create a solo private match so you can run around and check things out on your own.

Here’s what’s up:

• Map Hack: Rebalanced Map Hack so that player locations will now pulse instead of always on. We’ll continue to look into this boost and will modify it further if it continues to cause frustration
• Rebalanced Legion
• Rebalanced Tone
• You can now play private match solo

Pilot changes

• Anti-Titan and Grenadier weapons once again restore ammo when embarking into your Titan
