There shouldn't be a grapple class in Titanfall 3, and this is why

Actually, that title's a bit of a misnomer. I don't think there should be a grapple class per say, but it should be a standard pilot tool. There's a lot of utility in the other classes, but everybody and their mom is running grapple, because it's simply the best. Why would I use Cloak or Pulse Blade, when I can get across the map with one use of an ability?

This is my idea; Give one grapple charge for all pilots.

Movement is what makes Titanfall such an interesting game. I don't think anyone is going to disagree that grapple is the king of such movement, so instead of taking the crown, give it to everybody.

^(That, and I wanna see some pulseblade+grapple montages)

^(^sorry ^for ^the ^clickbait)

It’d be interesting to see grapple as a grenade replacement imo

Rifle grenade. Must be affixed to your weapon's muzzle, fired, and then reeled in.

Yeah, that could actually be balanced. The second best way to balance grapple behind removing it entirely

If you're good enough with the movement the grapple doesn't really do much, it's useful but not massively so, especially compared to other tacticals

Yeah, as my skills improve I find myself running phase and stim more than grapple. I used to be an avid grapple main, now I'm seeing the downsides of it, the slow start to any movement, your pilot putting their gun down when grappling

Yup, a lot of PRO players use stim

Yeah stim and grapple are the best in my opinion, stim to get across the map in a few seconds, and grapple for maneuverability and correct mistakes

At my peak I considered myself a pretty good grapple main but I couldn't touch the stim mains in terms of movement and speed. They would just slide in and ass blast everything and get out.

I like this but I would like a class that gets 2 (or maybe ever 3!) charges. I am not sure about it being the definitive best because I am not the best at the game but I always use grapple because I simply find it to be the most fun. I may miss my entire spitfire magazine but you can bet your ass I had fun flying across the top of relic immediately prior

This would be ridiculously op especially in comp. grapple is already stupid enough when not combined with other abilities, so much so that it had to be banned/restricted in comp

rickgotmytongue•

yea. But Grapple is so synonymous with Titanfall that's removing it seems like a bad idea.

I prefer everyone have it regardless of tactical choice

2
SHADOW-DA3MONG100 CAR•

I don’t think they should remove it I just think it should be a tactical problem that you have to use

I don't think that's entirely true. It's the most used by far, yeah, but saying that others are barely used is a bit of an exaggeration, I see tons of people use other stuff. I do like the idea lot though

Why not stim plus using regular movement you can get across the map easily. Also I nearly never see anyone using it.

Probably because grapple with a bit of experience is significantly faster than Stim, and it has two charges.

If you want to give a stim main like me a grapple I'll happily take it

I use pulse blade because my battlefield awareness is shit. If I just fly across the map I always get shot down by a player who takes it a bit slower and pays attention. With the blade, I just toss it into an area I'm unsure of, and I can be aiming down the sighta and be onto people when they come around corners.

Stim and grapple in tandem would be absolutely insane. Maybe even too good imo.
