While Respawn gave us our first look at all six new Titans in Titanfall 2 in an introductory video, we didn’t see the abilities of each Titan separately. Fortunately, there’s a few new videos of the new Titans making the rounds, and we have ’em here for you today.
First in the Titanfall 2 Titan video roll out is “Legion,” a Titan ” who utilizes an assortment of ballistic abilities focusing on defense and control,” according to Respawn. In short, he’s a big mech with a big gun and he’s not afraid to use it. His Core (ultimate) ability called “Smart Core,” auto-aims his chaingun which should help in quickly disposing of any enemy that comes into his path. Check out the video below to see the rest of Legion’s abilities.
Next up is “Northstar,” a master of both flight and precision kills.” Not only can Northstar fly, but his Flight Core ultimate ability lets the mech unleash a hail of rockets while in mid-air. The video below showcases the other abilities Northstar has.
You can check out the rest of the Titans’ abilities in the gallery below. Don’t forget to check ot our latest Versus episode where we pit the Battlefield 1 beta against the Titanfall 2 tech test and declare a winner on which game has left a better impression on us so far.
