Yeah, I'm that guy. I don't exclusively use the smart pistol but I sure do enjoy it. I've read that its in here somewhere but I can't find it.

In multiplayer, there are abilities that you gain access to once your Titanfall meter has reached a certain level. You get to pick one before the match, and they're things like ampped weapons, or those little explosive robots. Once you unlock it, the smart pistol is one of those. You can only use it once you've gained enough Titanfall meter, and it's only good for a few uses.

Is it like a perk that I would equip to a class? I didn't know I could choose; I thought amped weapons was just what it was. Edit: Is it where it gives me an option to press X before a match?

@spaceinsomniac: That sounds like a pretty good way to keep it included in the game and not have it run rampant like it did in the first Titanfall.

You mean its use is super limited?

Thank fucking Christ! The smart pistol singlehandedly fucking ruined Titanfall 1 for me, to the point where I wasn't even going to buy Titanfall 2 because I was so bummed out about the smart pistol in the first game. I hated that thing with a passion.

Yeah, it's called a boost and I think you get it at rank 36 or 42, or something high like that. That gun is super fun in the single player.

Yeah, it's definitely limited in this game. You get 12 bullets, and a lock-on kill requires 3, so you can use it 4 times per activation, assuming you don't miss a shot. I believe it's accessible at 60 percent of your Titanfall meter. In addition, it takes the place of your secondary weapon, so you can't use an anti-titan weapon if you're using it. You also have to pass on using some other neat boosts in order to use it. To give you an idea, here's the full list:

Yeah, screw the haters, the Smart Pistol was fine in Titanfall 1. Especially for those of us who don't really play Call of Duty-esque shooters where both the allies and enemies all look almost exactly similar, it was the only way I was actually able to play the game. It was *really* hard to actually get a full lock on a player that was fully using all the mobility options the game gave you.

The old shotguns were vastly more obnoxious.

The campaign has you covered, homie.

It's only one section as far as I know, but I don't want to give too much away.

I enjoyed using the Smart Pistol's capability to lock onto grenades more than locking onto heads. Throwing a grenade into a window where I know a guy was hiding out and shooting it the moment it entered the building never got old.
