I always wondered if it was worth it. @StevoSuprem0 Fuckin "bros" can be good!

Does the titan's defense and mobility during auto pilot mode go up? Cause I feel like they just sit there and spend half the time firing normally

"Bros" are never good lol. I'll believe it when I see it. It's not their shooting that is lacking, it's their mobility and ability to respond to situations. I'm fine with somebody's bro being better at shooting at me as long as they just continue sitting still while I rain hell down upon them with an onslaught of grenades :D

They move according to your setting, but they lock onto targets a lot faster and tend to shoot much more accurately. They also use more ordinances and have a bit better situational awareness (they will attempt to actively move to cover if outnumbered or being locked onto). They aren't perfect, but if you are using them like I do as a general escort to distract enemy titans or refill ordinances on the go, they are more than sufficive. Their aim with the triple threat and railgun, and their use of the arc cannon are particularly noteworthy.

So basically no, they won't dash however yes, they do show a lot more active movement and general utility. I had mine tossing out electric smoke when rodeoed when it usually just goes down, but I don't think they'll do it if the enemy is cloaked

You're basing this off observation? I'm just wondering, seems hard to discern/control because auto-titan behavior differs heavily based on their surroundings and enemy actions, which is really sporadic and variable.

Basically I'm basing it off of how my titan works with it vs without it. I've ran a couple of games and a few scenarios came up, so my titan responded in these ways:

- Whenever there were multiple enemies, or whenever I assume my titan was being locked onto, it proceeded to move behind the nearest form of cover.
- Using the 3 round burst, my upgraded titan would land all 3 hits about 50% of the time and 2 hits the other 50%, compared to 2 and 1 hit from the unupgraded titan.
- When rodeoed, my titan would use electric smoke on occasion, but I've yet to see it do so to a cloaked enemy.
- My ordinance, the cluster bomb, would be fired (not always with precision) around the feet of the enemy titan, something I've began to do myself since it does wonders against auto-titans set to follow and it allows you to deny space. That, or it was firing at a pilot on the ground. Either way.

- Using the triple threat, my titan would use the vertical if the opponent was farther away, or the horizontal if closer.
- From what I've heard, its really effective when using the railgun and arc cannon.


As can be expected, the titan on auto isn't as good as one directly piloted, however for what its worth it takes the place of an average player with better aim but no dash button.

Hmmm. I'm not super convinced yet. It only says it does anything to aiming in the description. Guess I'll test it a bit and see if I notice a different in movement, but I only ever let my titan rock on auto when I'm playing on hardpoint, and even then it's only on certain levels. That's just my playstyle though. Might start trying it out on hardpoint. In general, I think it's way more useful to have minion detector to both know where they are for the points and to aid in differentiating them from pilots.

Man... found out that if you have a 3 round burst and you get rodeo'd near a wall, you can hug it and splash damage the guy on your hood. Good times.

I do something similar with the triple threat. But I'm usually playing with friends and just call it out. Arma's always good for swatting a pilot off my back :)

I was playing this game religiously until last Friday when my console took a shit all of a sudden and locked up. Microsoft is shipping me a brand new one after my bitching and moaning and it will be here Saturday. Add me fools.
