Titanfall 2 | Let's Talk: Reaper

Grunt: I sleep Titan: I sleep Pilot: AWOKEN

When you shoot a reaper in titanfall 2 it feels like shooting it with a nerf gun

Here's my reaper joke: Two reapers walk into a bar. There were no survivors.

*Reaper*: jumps in front of me as titan *Me*: “TF is this?” Flicks him out of my way *Reaper*: jumps in front of me as a pilot *Reaper*: “Your virginity. Give it to me.”

Before I touched multiplayer in Titanfall 2 I decided to play through the campaign on master. The most terrifying moment of the campaign is when you encounter the reapers for the first time. It’s not actually their first appearance that’s scary, it’s the fact that they crouch down a bit and FIT THROUGH THE GOD DAMNED DOORWAYS. I was sitting in a building trying to recover some health and find a new gun but just as I looked around for the reaper hunting me the wide mf squeezes through the door to put a mechanical claw through my ribcage.

REAPERS HAVE HEADS!?!

Salesman: slaps roof of Reaper This bad boy can kill a big amount of Titans and Pilots. IMC: ... Salesman: They can fit through doors and jump very high... IMC: I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK.

Me: sniping from other side of the map peacefully on a roof. Reaper sprinting towards from the opposite side of the map Reaper: Swggity swooty I'm coming for that booty.

Reapers are Satan’s children

Reapers are like my dad Always dodging the consequences

"They fire plasma rockets" Me a new player playing Ion: You mean EXTRA AMMO?

I suppose a big challenge when designing AI combatants in a game like Titanfall is you need to compromise between enemy variety and network resources. Bullet sponge, overpowered enemies that can two-shot you are not the way to do it. If their high dps wasn't enough, on certain maps Reapers will drop in clusters, potentially near the enemy spawn. Then, the enemy team that already has their titans can further snowball and gain a significant lead when, say, 5 enemy Reapers group up. My guess is Reapers were an attempt to make an additional threat for titans to watch out for, because in the first game you were practically impervious to the AI's attacks when you got into a titan. I wouldn't say outright remove Reapers and retcon them from the series. They were an interesting enemy to fight in the singleplayer campaign, but encounters with them were tailored specifically for Titan or pilot gameplay. I don't think you ever had to deal with multiple reapers while playing as Cooper, the only times you did was when you had BT.

The last time I was this early my friends still played titanfall 2

The fact the Respawn made the Reapers a 3 point instead of 5 point makes Reaper useless for AI farming

"This pieces of shit are everywhere or nowhere" I swear you had me laughing for like 10 minutes

Every titan 1v1 i have had there always was at least 1 enemy reaper shooting me while all our reapers are out jumping up and down a building next to our spawn! Thanks respawn

A reaper was chasing around the whole map once was screaming life f#$K

What if you could play as them

HOLY SHIT THEY HAVE HEADS???? Ive never seen one up close.

When I first started out, I noticed that in the latter half of Attriction matches, there was an unspoken rule that one person was on "reaper detail."
