I have wasted about 40 titans on the live multiplayer field because they took out frontier defence mode so I have to trial on the field. Everyone keeps saying that you can nuke eject prematurely but I have tried and tried and nothing happens. Yes I have nuke eject equipped.
Community Admin@333m355i4h333 Hey, what system are you on? I've been playing primarily on PS4, and to self-destruct/eject early you need to tap up on the d-pad then hammer square like you would in a normal emergency eject.
EDIT: So I tried last night and I only got the vanilla eject, no nuke. Sorry!
Thanks for the post, I hope this helps.
I am sure it was done to prevent the ronin from phase shifting closer and then nuke ejecting to get kills. It would become a very common tactic once there were more than a few enemy titans on the field. Even if you take the phase shift ability out of play, it is still a tactic which was overly used in TF1. Players would regularly sacrifice their titans to attempt and easy kill. Now they will have to kill titans the old fashioned way.
Community AdminYep I suspect that's a factor, Hitman. It's still a common tactic, and quite useful. I find myself saving a dash in some fights, to be sure that I can get clear if I don't get the execution.
I still smile if I'm down to "doomed" when the AI titan phase begins in Bounty Hunt. Run up to the Titan, give him a big ol' hug and pop your nuke. You usually do 90+% damage and get a very easy 500-ish Frontier Bucks and a "free" titan.
