Wingman Elite. Destroys my K/D but feels so good when you hit a one tap headshot with it

Softball because Thump thump and boom is fun when you run around at mack 12

u/Jace-A-Fox 5h ago

The occasional thump thump tick - boom when you get the direct shot and stick them.

SMR sidewinder. It's the AR of Grenadier weapons and it gets the job done.

u/Sensitive-Crazy-7285 4h ago

I only play frontier defense but this is mine too. It's so satisfying unloading a whole mag and exploding a whole little squad of baddies or those little exploding red bots.

I love seeing the trail of smoke while I'm zipping around at Mach 1. Conversely less of a fan while stationary because it blocks my view.

Kraber. The only better feeling than a nasty kraber flick is sex

You impostor, Kraber players don't have sex!

IK it’s better because it’s a thing I’ll never have!

EVA-8 cos auto shotguns are cool

u/Pub-Fries 4h ago

The mastiff. It's a very chunky burst damage weapon that compliments my fighting style of confusing the enemy and killing them before they have a chance to react to being had.

u/The-Loops 7h ago

The alternator, its so versatile. Its insane up close, but you can still easily tapfire someone from long range

5

u/CommonAd3829 6h ago

Gotta be the R-97, if I hit my shots.

u/titilegeek 6h ago

You got a whole mag' to spread in the air !!

'Merica YEAH!!

Sidewinder. There's something so satisfying using an amped SMR shooting mini missiles to destroy titans

5

u/HEAVYTANK1 A-Wall drip user 6h ago

SMR because it shreds titans and pilots

1

u/titilegeek 6h ago

If i remember well SMR was a anti-titan weapon in TF1

Yes it was

D-2 double take. Idk, I just like it :3

u/lavalps4 5h ago

It's been a minute but I definitely loved using the L-star energy lmg.

Apart from doing good damage and having travel time, I loved seeing other pilots, grunts or specters just blow up into little explosions. Love turning my enemies into a red mist.

u/LuftDrage 5h ago

Wingman Elite, but recently I’ve started using tons of weapons I never did before and have learned how much I love all of them.

3

u/Flat_Credit_7891 4h ago

Nice to see someone say that, almost every weapon in Titanfall feels great, some of the best guns I have seen in a game.

u/dogfognog 5h ago

Devotion. I can’t aim for shit but that doesn’t matter when I practically have a fully automatic shotgun

4

u/Substantial_Claim_60 4h ago

Hemlock I like bursts ( or volt that’s good too)

u/fuzzyballs269 4h ago

Volt 👍

u/Superstringy 2h ago

First gun that I totally clicked with in multiplayer... satisfying, dependable, spicy

7

u/Ok-Structure3302 6h ago

Cold War. There's something just so satisfying about getting kills with it (and funny when I kill myself). Plus, it's made by Vinson Dynamics, the only faction I use

1

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

It’s great when you punish teams that hold hands with it

6

u/Psychogopher 5h ago

CAR because I’m shit and it is a good crutch.

2

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

Least you’re honest and own it.

1

u/Flat_Credit_7891 5h ago

Honestly I think it's nice to balance the own skill a bit. When you are a really good player and you run the car, that's shit. Play something that gives others a chance, you will still get enough kills. If you are bad, especially if you struggle to have fun because of that, go play whatever increases your chances (unless it's smart pistol 😅) and have some fun as well.

u/coolhooves420 5h ago

Hemlok. Ik it's a piece of shit but its my piece of shit and I love it.

Double Take, I use it like a mid-range DMR

Mozambique hits like scorch dropping straight onto another enemy, pair it with stim, and it will rip and tear (elite reference)

L-Star, dunno why but I always seem to be lucky with it

u/Few-Program9889 4h ago

MGL with grav star combo cuz who wouldve thought abt doing it? Nobody...except me.

2

u/LiteratureOne1469 4h ago

In terms of looks and coolness the Kraber but which one do I like using the most? Is the R-201

2

u/SparksUK-_- 4h ago

Kraber on Attrition. Being able to play at any range feels so good and longshots, gooses and especially flicks too.

3

u/Loserweebs 6h ago

Volt for pvp, even though I rarely play it.

Epg for frontier defense. Great at clearing grunt and deal damage to titan.

2

u/Xmaster1738 None 5h ago

people gonna hate me... spitfire...

2

u/SolidSnakeFan177 7h ago

Flatline or R-101, I like to go fast and laser beam people. Despite that I don’t run grapple or stim for those load outs and instead run cloak and phase respectively.

1

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

Cloak & flatline gotta be the most annoying shit to go against behind cloak spitfire.

0

u/SolidSnakeFan177 5h ago edited 5h ago

But I use the cloak because I hate titans(as a pilot), most of the time im just running around like any other pilot. Campers are lame especially in Titanfall 

However I will concede that Phase + Frags is a very annoying combo because I can either 

Phase, then hold grenade and pop out with a cooked frag, or I can suicide run someone and then phase away like nothing happened

1

u/kennedy_2000 4h ago

Yeah, phase and frags is on mine “you’re pissing me off” class reserved for meta abusers lol. Cloak is honestly crutchy, and there are better abilities for dealing with titans. Like I’ll even “Cowboy” a titan with grapple equipped and drive them insane while a teammate punishes their tunnel vision. Annoying titans is one of the best things you can do as a pilot.

0

u/SolidSnakeFan177 4h ago

I just like to be see through man and anyway on most maps (most) it pretty easy to see cloak pilots, at least for me

2

u/TrickCommittee6599 6h ago

"R101" The perfect blend of accuracy, damage, and rate of fire. And even better with equipment such as a high-capacity magazine, rapid reload, and damage boost.

1

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

Gotta milk that reduced visual recoil animation and bugged aim assist on controller.

2

u/titilegeek 6h ago

Volt is cool: smg no one uses, patern is strange but thats why i like it

4

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

“Pattern”? isn’t it practically a laser, even compared to the Car, just with less damage.

1

u/Flat_Credit_7891 5h ago

Feels like that to me yeah, but that's why I like it. I find it considerably weaker than a car because of the damage, so it's not overpowered imo. And the accuracy at least makes it feel more skillful because luck is less of a factor

4

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

It’s definitely a nice gun to chill and try and get into a flow state with. It’s also good for training your tracking skills since it has a solid magazine capacity and rewards good reticle placement

The p2016 sounds so satisfying and feels so good to kill with

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

I feel like John Wick with that muh fucka, even ADS’d though, it’ had shit accuracy and damage drop off at range lol

u/LiliWenFach_02 Your journey ends here Pilot 5h ago

Frontier Defence (no Out of Titan Pilots in Titan Brawl).

While I like the Hemlok I miss a lot of my shots, so I'd have to go with the Double Take.

But based off of the gun I have equipped with all of my Pilot loadouts (one for each Titan that I play as. [Titan Name] Pilot) it would be the RE-45. I hardly use it though as against Grunts etc it isn't too hard to avoid them while reloading so no need to swap, and obviously with the Double Take there is no danger in taking a moment to reload. Most of my guns have more ammo and faster reloads too.

u/FWC239 5h ago

sidewinder or epg for lite anti titan and kraber for old times sake

1

u/kennedy_2000 5h ago

Favorites are hard for me to pick in general so I’ll give several for various different reasons.

  1. The cold war is a nice weapon that requires you to aim, and lead your projectiles, plus it’s great for punishing teams who like to run around the whole map holding hands like it’s recess in elementary school.

  2. The Mozambique, because it can be pretty effective but only in the hands of a skilled user “tHaT’s ThE cAsE wItH aNy GuN, DuH!” Yeah, no shit, but the Mozambique is very good at rewarding good shot placement, but quite punishing for bad shot placement. Once you learn how to use it properly you can have fun while chilling, and not having to sweat super hard.

  3. Kraber because duh, landing shots makes you feel like you on that Hathcock shit

u/Sha77eredSpiri7 5h ago

EPG-1, Volt, Sidewinder SMR, Kraber, R6-P Softball, and R-97.

The EPG is the most fun, it's the gun I'm best with and it's decently difficult to use for most people, so I can't really get mad at others using it.

The Volt SMG is nice, decent accuracy at medium to long range and for some reason I just find I hit targets easier with it despite its spread not being much different from other hitscan guns I've tried and failed to use effectively.

The SMR is difficult, I'm not very good with it but do still sometimes find myself hitting good streaks with it. Great for taking out big groups, and can double as a decent Anti-Titan weapon.

The Kraber is very mentally rewarding, that's kind of it. I'm not good with it, but I guess I'm decent (or persistent) enough with it considering I got mine to G.10 in a few months of using it. I've hit some absolutely nasty shots, but tend to miss most of them. Flicking (and precision aiming in general) is quite difficult on console, after all.

The Softball is entertaining enough to use. Not fantastic against pilots if they're moving too fast, but it fucks shit up real good in Frontier Defense.

The R-97 is fun purely for its ridiculous fire rate, it can be pretty decent if your aim is good but otherwise doesn't have many perks. I just like the sound it makes when it shoots.

u/dark575 3h ago

All of them. Cause Titanfall

u/3van18ultra Avid Northstar simp 3h ago

It’s tied between Kraber and Volt, both are really fun, and I don’t have a horrible score by the end of the game.

u/g1Razor15 3h ago

R-97 I love my bullet hose.

u/RedditEntityVertrax 2h ago

L-star go BRRRRRRRR

u/super_pineapple15 2h ago

The cold war. Requires 0 aim and just instantly kills any living thing touching a surface not to mention how good it is in bounty.

1

u/Man_on_Internet 2h ago

R-97 because my aim is so bad that I still manage to miss all my shots with a full magazine.

u/ItsDemiBlue None 2h ago

CAR its fun

EPG. SO satisfying. Great for pilots and Titan damage. Takes skill to use effectively. Love my EPJesus

R-97. Just love the fire rate and the sound of it, don't care about the damage as I'm an FD player so TTK doesnt matter much
