Respawn Entertainment has revealed many of the patch notes that have been released to accompany the second beta test for Titanfall 2. These changes will make the game better.
The first beta test for Titanfall 2 didn’t go so well because they changed a lot of what made the first game fun. Now these changes for the second beta should make the sequel better. Patch notes can be seen below as posted on the game’s forums.
TIME TO KILL
- Amped Weapons Boost now unlocks at 80% of the earn meter instead of 50%.
- Charge Rifles now have damage falloff at cross map distances.
- Slightly increased cloak visibility for other Pilots.
We think the abundance of Amped Weapons is a large contributor to lower time to kill. We’re still adjusting individual weapon balance for ship.
MOBILITY
- Increased max wall-running speed.
- Increased base wall-running speed and air speed.
- Increased acceleration while jumping off walls.
- Titans dashes recharge 2 seconds faster.
Training is unaffected by these changes, ensuring Gauntlet records will remain valid.
TITAN TIMER
- Pilots now earn a small amount of Titan meter every 5 seconds.
This value may be undertuned until we can take a pass at how much meter you earn from objectives.
BOUNTY HUNT
- Score Limit lowered to 5000 from 6000 to increase the amount of games won by score instead of time.
- Banking phases now last 45 seconds instead of a minute.
TECHNICAL FIXES
- Fixed some issues with the outer deadzone on PlayStation controllers.
The second Titanfall 2 beta is available to download for free on both PS4 and Xbox One only. Sadly, no beta is planned for the PC as of this time.
