Developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher Electronic Arts (EA) have released a new update for its multiplayer FPS title, Titanfall.
This new update four brings in new features, tweaks and bug fixes. It will add a new game mode – Marked for Death, in which players from each team will be marked for death. Players will have to kill the enemy who is marked while protecting the teammate.
Titanfall will also be getting game modes in the playlist rotation. These modes will be available in a time bound way. Two of the new game modes are Marked for Death and Wingman Last Titan Standing.
The game will also get 14 Titan new burn cards which will add to the Titan weapons and Titan abilities will be enhanced. Players will not be losing their burn cards if they die as Pilot but they will if they die as Titans, said the post on the official website.
The new update will also bring in Titan Insignias that will be unlocked as players complete the challenges, it was also revealed that if player have filled the quota of requirements for the insignia, then they will get it.
Tweaks have been made to matchmaking and team balancing. Arrangement of the team occurs before the level loads, this will help in balancing the team's skill and player counts.
The update will add three new Titan V.O. options – Jeeves, Lisa and Betty. Players will see new warning and observations from your Titan.
A Challenge tracker has been added allowing players to keep a track of the challenges and work on the ones they want to act early.
