Titanfall 2 Getting First Free DLC Next Next Week

Are you enjoying Titanfall 2 so far? The game may have launched in a busy game buying period, causing a lot of people to skip over it, but to date it seems that the latest from Respawn is one of the best shooters this year, and it’s about to get a whole lot better. The first major DLC for the game is set to launch at the end of this month, bringing you everything you could ask for; a new map, additional weapons, execution, stats, and much more. The best part about this major update? It’s going to be completely and utterly FREE.

There will be premium items on offer too, but they’re purely cosmetic and have no impact on the overall gameplay. Any gameplay changing content is set to be free.

“First let’s look at the big picture and make a crucial point about our DLC vision crystal clear: All maps, modes, weapons —anything that has effect on gameplay— will be free for all players that bought Titanfall 2. We believe that in order to maintain a healthy community we shouldn’t be segmenting players behind paywalls for these things.” said Respawn. “In addition to the free stuff, we will be opening a store in game with the launch of DLC #1 that will allow you to purchase new skins, camo and Prime Titans if you want for a modest price. We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and that’s it. These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic. We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts.”

This is the right way to expand a game these days, as many are becoming tired of Season Passes, Micro Transactions and all the other cash grabbing schemes. Make your game worth buying first, and people will pay up for it. Heck, even Ubisoft are getting wise to this.

Angel City’s Most Wanted is just the beginning of our support for Titanfall 2. We will have more drops that will differ in size and scope but the additional maps, modes, and weapons available will continue to be free. We’ll be revealing just what these are next year but in the meantime here’s what kind of events and updates you can expect from us for 2016:

• GAME MODE TWISTS
  Changing things up and trying out new ways to play is a big part of how we work here at Respawn. We’re carrying that philosophy over to multiplayer with semi-regular events that will change up rule sets on certain games, giving them a “twist” to how you might normally play them. Changes like these force players (and ourselves) to look at the game differently and try some things you may never have tried before.
• DOUBLE XP WEEKENDS
  Beyond new content and rules that change the game, we’re also big fans of giving excuses for all your friends to pile into Titanfall 2 over a weekend to reap bonus XP, level up faster or unlock a weapon you’ve had your eye on and generally have some fun. Don’t forget to coordinate with your Networks to optimize your happy hour merit madness!
• TOP NETWORKS RECOGNITION
  Networks represent our grand experiment to make Titanfall 2 a meaningful social experience for all players. Being a part of a Network is a great way to meet new people and get bonuses for playing, so every week you’ll find us calling out a few Networks we think are worth checking out. You can join as many Networks as you like, so make a point to join one that interests you! It’s a great way to meet fellow Pilots and have fun together.
• SOCIAL GIVEAWAYS
  Make sure to follow @respawn because every Wednesday we’ll get doing random giveaways that could be anything from the Titanfall 2 Art book, signed posters, and much more.
