Titanfall 2: 5 Ways To STOP Battery Stealing

[@InigoFlash]

I'd also like to point out that you can walk into a friendly titan shield (the kind that is generated around every non-warpfall titan when called in) and let the shield damage kill the pilot on top of your titan.

[@TheSpyFromTeamFortress2]

You mean a Dome-Shield?

[@dragodx8238]

I was actually really surprised that the dome actually damages enemies.

[@TheLPRnetwork]

6. If your using ion, you can deploy trip wire behind you and turn around so the pilot jumps into them. 7. If you are using scorch, place a flame trap or flame wall behind you so so the pilot jumps into the flames. Both are tricky to pull off but do work sometimes times.

[@TrickyAcidGaming]

TheLPRnetwork Thanks for the suggestions man, wanted to hear if anyone else has other tips so it's good to hear

[@Logann-sn2iz]

TheLPRnetwork thx

[@meechtree5795]

TheLPRnetwork as scorch just crouch and fire wall up, kills him fast than he can take the battery

[@meechtree5795]

I mean thermal sheild

[@meechtree5795]

I mean thermal shield

[@pinkyless]

Not even the ronin one was mentioned here: Use phase dash right when hes about to pull the battery and you want take damage. You can kill the pilot who stole your battery and get shields and 20% of your core for free. All of these tips are pretty noobish.

An og method that I used in TF1 was when they'd first begin to rodeo you you'd crouch and look down. it simulated the pilot leaving the titan like they were jumping out to shoot them then the person rodeoing would jump off. Doubt it would work it TF2 but it used to be super fun

[@Do_NoHarm]

Tom Danner that was a tip in titanfall 1

[@impactst1901]

Better tactic: Do the same but whilst you turn around go forward a little bit and disembark and your titan will take no or just little bit damage.

[@SCP_Nerd]

[@memistcentral2044]

You can do the same with a scorch thermite launcer

[@VultureXV]

This is why you use Low Profile perk: the video.

[@TrickyAcidGaming]

draconic33 Ah not to worry man I've got that covered in my new video coming up later on today >:) watch out for it bro

[@VultureXV]

I guess it might be a little different in pubbies then. Right now I'm at the level where some folk forget they even have smoke. I've seen folk enter Titans solo when the entire team is Titan'd.

[@gumenski]

All the perk does is remove the sound of the guy climbing... no one listens for that anyway. There's still a giant orange icon showing you're on their titan. I don't suggest ever using that perk unless you're desperate to get rid of your jet trails, because you use cloak or whatever weird reason. Otherwise it'll never help you vs decent players

[@jasperposey3446]

actually it removes the noise AND makes it so there's a significant delay before the orange icon shows up for the enemy titan. as a result they have almost no time to react before you pull out the battery. plus compared to all the other perks in that slot it's the only one that really gives you an advantage, i use it on all of my loadouts

[@savycenter]

gumenski it delays the ai also

[@bagel9780]

Hey quick note on the northstar cluster missiles tip, you can avoid taking damage by disembarking after you’ve shot the cluster missiles at a wall and turned around. So just shoot a wall, turn around and disembark, it’ll kill the pilot and your titan won’t take self damage from the cluster missile

[@shotgunammo]

You can also manually eject by pressing d pad up and spam the eject button (adding to the last tip)

[@HCF249]

Hi Im Kayu Yeah we thought about that, but it seemed too wasteful to destroy the titan if it wasn't already in doom state. But that method is certainly possible

[@obi-wankeknobi8413]

it was usefull in TF1 , because the nuclear ejection was still activated .

[@funnyname5071]

3:59: “A quick well aimed shot” *shoots teammate*

[@0mobility548]

6. By using ronin , you can use your phase ability to prevent your titan from taking damage (this Trick is based about the noises so if you Play without sound or that the ennemy Pilot has the Low profile kit, it's hard)

[@4400seriesFAN]

Aaaaahhhh! THAT'S why I ejected from a Titan and had an enemy on my face that other time! Thanks, I didn't know!

[@genxwarlock]

Well this was some common sense.

[@edomar2r]

well, all of these require you to take damage anyway or know way before that you are getting rodeo. Besides getting your battery removed is not bad at all it gives you a shield. Here is what I do: 1. when a pilot gets on you find an open area, let them take the battery and as soon as they dismount turn around and punch them or if they are out of reach because of stim then shoot them. 2. when a pilot gets on you and you are at the edge of the map or a location where is out of bounds let the pilot land on there that way they have very little room to get away, now you have to be quick because they can just get right back on you or simply dash back to put distance and since they can't go forward and only towards you well guess who will die first. Your options are very valid I just thought I add my tactics. Nice video.

[@ApharmdBattler]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@apocalypsesquid3037]

If someone tries to get tricky and firestars your titan, they will probably die if they try to rodeo you. You can use this to take them out and avoid further damage by baiting them onto your titan. Alternatively, you can have a teammate/friend ride your titan, or (haven't tested this yet) have the friend try putting firestars, gravity stars, or satchel charges on your titan.

[@EnclaveOperator]

a good tip is that if you want to get revenge on a titan that had just made you eject from your doomed Titan if you have a Grappling hook you can grapple the ground or the enemy titan and instantly start to take his battery / attack him wit a anti titan weapon, so you don't have to waste time flying in the air. this is helpful if the enemy titan is trying to shoot you out of the air and you need to escape

[@swoosh2097]

Ethan Witherow yeah but you need to be very quick

[@jakemitchell3599]

Ethan Witherow and assuming that the enemy isn't bloodthirsty (which they probably will be)

[@reeceytaylor]

Me: oh shit someone's on my titan i really need some electric smoke Electric smoke: I'm getting tf outta here

[@bioforce5]

Using the ricochet kit with ronin you can shoot straight at a nearby wall and the projectiles will bounce back at you and hit the pilot.

[@isaacarias9936]

Just today I was playing with Ion Prime but I was at very low health. My screen told me a pilot was not top of me and I was like “oh really” then I activated self destruct.

How to stop a pilot from stealing your battery. Step 1: Blow your titan up.

[@alexkang2897]

Honestly, the jumping out of your titan to shoot them is the option I've seen the fewest people use in titanfall2.

[@dw2032]

They did it all the time in Titanfall1, they also used the cluster missile tactic in Titanfall1

[@TrickyAcidGaming]

Yeah they did, thought i'd share the same method here since I felt it was a good tactic :)

[@Cuber-3000]

The problem is that usually they have already taken the battery out before you turn around and so it would be better to stayin the titan and kill them after wards.

[@odstagmn8714]

Alex Kang i just shoot them with my titan

[@bryanramirez7736]

I find it hilarious seeing a pilot move in front of you while in a titan or having a titan move while in pilot

[@aspiringartist3949]

I was trying to steal a battery when the enemy ejected, neither of us knew we both went into the air so he wasn't expecting me to be up there and I killed him easily xD Good to know that's why it happened!

[@croakinc3670]

Wow, that cluster missile tip is awesome! I use Northstar all the time, I'll have to try that.

[@jakemitchell3599]

1:) hop on a titan with low profile (obviously) 2:) get the battery 3:) book it. I don't care how, just book it. Don't hide. You'll only be trapping yourself and chances are that the titan you robbed isn't going to leave you alone until it gets its battery back.

[@Keveregales]

also if a pilot starts the rodeo, and you have no extra battery on you already let them take it just make sure you run to an open area where he cant hide once he is done taking it the proceed to kill the fucker and grab the battery he stole from you it will give you extra health .. very vital fro ronin users

[@JuggyBohab]

if you time it right with a ronin you can phase shift as he's pulling it and it won't damage your titan. and you get a free battery when you kill him at no cost to you....just phase cooldown

[@_charlienolan_8089]

With the cluster missile u should get out of the Titan so damage isn't taken from ur own missile And if u wait till the last moment of rodeo look straight up with scorches thermal Sheild up and when they jump of they jump into the thermal Sheild and burn alive

[@RokushoTheRavager]

Wow these are actually some great tips, I hadn't even thought about 3 & 5. Also on 5 if you have the grappling hook and the enemy is airborne with you, can't you grapple to them and deliver a kick to their ugly mug? It might be risky since they could gun you down, but chances are they won't really expect it in the first place and it may catch them off guard.

[@HCF249]

If youre accurate enough with the hook, its definetly possible

[@RokushoTheRavager]

Definitely gonna have to attempt this to see if it's effective.

[@B1akeXC]

ShadowWarrior242 the airborne grapple was in a trailer

[@RokushoTheRavager]

BlakeXC Yea you're right it was, but I don't think it was after ejecting from a Titan.

[@totallynotdio1311]

6: wait mroeless 5 seconds, turn around, and melee that pilot while hes in air. its the ultimate f*ck off strategy...

[@tyler6229]

With north star you can avoid some damage by placing the cluster missile a little above your titan

[@dylanwilliams4302]

another tip of your tone you can stand next to a wall and keep on shooting it until the splash damage kills him, note you will also tale damage from this

[@HCF249]

Good tip, I didnt know this

[@jackcooper5414]

The tricky Acid:did you enjoy the video? Me:HELL YEAH!!!!

[@Zechinesespy]

Similarly with the cluster missiles, scorch can do the same thing, shoot the wall and face your back towards it when someone is rodeoing you, had this done to me, I was very surprised

[@rxbots]

Surprised you didnt mention the ronin trick. Wait until right before the animation of stealing the battery to end, then phase shift and dash backwards. If you do it right, you'll phase shift into the enemy pilot and kill them, the phase shift will negate the battery stolen so you wont lose any health, and the enemy will still drop a battery so you just get a free battery.

[@shadowslayer205]

You never mentioned the phase dash trick: When your Ronin is mounted by a pilot, if you time it at the part where the player's battery pull animation starts you can phase dash to not only stop the rodeo from damaging you, but also cause a bug that creates a free battery for you to take from the enemy pilot.

[@kashmiramakwana3649]

You know with Northstar, if you get out of the titan, ur cluster missile doesn’t do dmg, but u need to disembark farther away from the cluster missile strike area or else u will go down with the pilot and ur titan is alone, and u can u the 40mm cannon with ton to take pilots out,

[@lmotekh]

This has made my Titan survive like, Twice as long!!! Thanks for the help 😀

[@TheRomanoLV]

You can also walk up to a wall and shoot it, so the splash damage ends up killing the pilot on your back. Feels good to do that

[@celestialstarsilver]

As tone you can walk up to the wall, and fire into it and splash damage does the rest

[@TKA13]

The best is just set your back on the space that pilot have dificults to fast ran away like open flat groud or place that u will easy to catch him. so if u just get the sound that he took batery fast turn to him dash and punch or shoot or wathever 99% chance if u do this in proper way :)

[@shrekworshiper4965]

Best feeling is just leaving the safety or your 800 ton death box to personally kill an enemy.

[@Shadowlord_777]

what if I phase dash as Ronin

[@HCF249]

Nate914 Have tried this, doesnt do anything, enemy pilot stays on while phasing.

[@pyrocynicalsdad6944]

Nate914 it works if you see the pilot first I always see the pilots than phase dash out of the way cofuse the pilots and laugh at em then kill them

[@eagleye6637]

Cool😎

[@TheDutchcrusade]

If you're in phase dash when they jump off in kills them.

[@MyGamingHardcore]

If you phase at the correct time you will take no damage but they will take a battery.

[@harvey04m60]

If you are using tone, just stand next to a wall and shoot at the wall a couple times, it works

[@werland9425]

Here's one. If your ronin, now hear me out, go into an open-ish field and let them take your battery. As soon as they jump off. Turn around and charge them while swinging your sword witch covers more than the average melee. You will most likely kill them as they can not out run your titan and have no we're to go to hide. You will then get the same exact health you had when you retrieved the battery. (Including sheild.)

[@bosha6654]

Cannibalistic Burger not only that but u get core charges 20%

[@xvipereno3813]

You should've covered the use of Ronin's phase dash ability to counter battery stealing instead of talking about basic electric smoke. Any experienced (>G5.00) Ronin player knows how to use phase dash to allow the enemy pilot to steal a battery but while also dealing no damage to your Ronin. You can then steal the battery from the pilot and have even more health than before the rodeo. It's an advanced technique and hard to explain verbally, so I'm willing to share a couple of clips of me performing the technique in real games if anyone reaches out to me.

[@odstagmn8714]

x Vipereno thats broken

[@aplane9248]

All you need to say is phase dash when they steal the battery you take no damnadge kill the pilot and it’s a free battery for you.

[@mehkiwatson9097]

You can also melee a pilot right after they jump off your titan, super hard to do but once you understand it its super useful

[@joey.h14]

hey and whenever your decision is to get the death from above your titan is following protocol 3; protect pilot. and its the one who signed up for it to be sacrificed

[@sevayen6429]

Those who played the first Titanfall, cluster missiles were a classic for getting rid of pilots. Good times good times

[@donut1800]

if you play ronin and you phase dash right when they take the battery out, you won't take any damage. you could essentially get a free battery that way

[@mysticlone9343]

Click down on the D pad and click x or square 3 times to eject. I believe it also works if you have nuclear ejection as well

[@Jaysunn]

number 2 is something only 1 of the 7 titans can use. real nice. sick even.

[@ghostboy661mylo9]

you can shoot a wall with a scorch and turn your back against the wall, use a cluster missile if your a north star. or use the free battery boost before you embark in your titan so you can get electric smoke

[@Keveregales]

the best way to stop them from taking your battery is a bit risky but basically. just get out of the titan as soon as you see that they start the rodeo. make sure your titan is always in guard mode so he stays still always. and then just the pilot on top of your titan in works great if you are not in fight and you want to preserve your electric smoke they are very vital if using Ronin for example.

[@amazingrace971]

#2 could also be vortex shield if you are in a fight or someone is shooting around you

[@surumeman7195]

Cluster missile splash damage can be avoided by getting out from titan and get in quickly (titan does not take self damage during auto-titan phase). Even though the pilot took your battery, you can insta kill the pilot with thermite shield if you turn around like a crazy person.

[@milestovar4983]

If you have the ricochet perk equipped for Ronan you can shoot at a wall in front of you just stlightly upwards and kill the pilot, basically a free kill

[@jtr4256]

Tone's main 40mm gun can scratch his own back. Walk up to a wall and point blank shoot the wall and the splash damage will kill the pilot on your back.

[@Awoken68124]

the problem is that with ronin and northstar. there both small and fragile. but the time it takes for a enemy to steal your battery when your in a northstar or ronin. the te it takes for a enemy to take a battery out of a northstar or ronin is that the enemy can rodeo a lot quicker onto a ronin or northstar as we're as all the other titans, it will take longer for the enemy to rodeo and steal your battery.

R.I.P Grammar

[@pixelthis950]

Nick Ballard wtf are you trying to say

[@toxic1698]

+Daniel Pouresmaili I'm not entirely sure but I think he's trying to say that because norstar and Ronin are smaller they're easier to jump on

[@TrickyAcidGaming]

Jeff Boer I've already tested the timings with all Titans prior to making this video and it was approx 5-6 seconds for each Titan. So it isn't quicker to rodeo smaller titans. Because I was also curious on that matter when I was filming.

[@carson2000_]

6. If you are using Tone, walk against a wall and fire the 40mm cannon at the wall. The explosive splash damage will hit the pilot, but you won't take any damage.

[@jaydennnnnnnnnnnnn9822]

thanks for the tip where you can crouch on scorch to kill the pilot with electric smoke

[@mattkroll4464]

For Northstars cluster you should disembark your Titan after you turn around, your Titan will take no damage from the cluster after disembarking if you do this.

[@misterc9641]

With ronin, if u phase dash as the pilot pulls the battery, u will not receive damage and the other pilot will get a battery, if u kill him after that u get a free battery

Disembark from your Titan and beat the shot out of that pilot yourself Absolute flex

[@therobloxgroup4841]

As scorch if you aim up with thermal shield with the pilot sill on you stealing your battery, when he jumps off he will be burned alive by your shield

[@iamcorrectionman6218]

6: if you have good aim with your titan, you can let them take the battery, then shoot them so they die. if you do it right you can get your battery back and a big boost in your core.

[@demonofwar1155]

u can phase shift away on the death from above resort therefore keeping them alive but they have to use phase shift

Don't need to be doomed to eject and another fast move is step out of titan when u see them jump on set defense mode and just shoot them while your titan stands still

[@vaanmarler7979]

[@Wheelz567]

I can confirm. This was a tactic back in TF1, when all Titans had access to clusterbombs. Pop on wall, run up, turn around, disembark, and usually by the time your animation was done, the rodeo would be dead.

[@TrickyAcidGaming]

Wheelz567 Yeah good shout on that, thought it would be good to add that same tried and tested tactic here with Titanfall 2, sadly it's restricted to Northstar but still works just fine.

The only good one here is the crouch with the smoke, the others seem to be common sense to just damage your titan even more like the northstar one

[@mosqu1to988]

If you disembark northstar while cluster missle is exploding it will not damage the auto titan

[@mosqu1to988]

And tones gun can do splash damage on a wall to kill the pilot

[@rolandschoeneman1891]

With Northstar you should cluster missile the wall and then turn away from the cluster missile and exit your Titan to prevent damage to the chassis. because you leave the Titan it becomes invulnerable to self harm.

[@Tecilis]

The thermal chield can be avoided by the pilot with the grapple if he dubbele jumped during the real in so hel land on the head

[@jleg3ndary725]

If you wanna stop battery stealing just equip the Titans with Energizer Batteries.

[@Liindir]

There should be a titan kit called AAA battery where the pilots are grossed out so they can't steal your battery, but it automatically drains health from you.
