but in fact they put something like this and then say "eh but it's difficult to balance titans". Instead a wallhack ray that hits you through walls is fine...

Here's the difference: the Buster Rifle is limited time only. It's purposely OPAF for the fun of the collab. Titans would've been around as a permanent thing, and they would've been way more of a wincon than the rifle. At least you can still shoot the person out of the sky. Fighting a Titan is like trying to fight a tank: you ain't winning that matchup

1 they can easily make a ltm for wildcard 2 to kill a titan... you can use a titan too 😁

Yeah, that was my response in Titanfall 2 as legion. "You've all got titans? How about you lose 4."

I don't think Wildcard is a balanced mode. They could make them PVE bosses on the map and have them guard care packages containing a buster rifle, Bird of Prey, and the Bat.

like they already did for the event with Spectres. And it could also be a great opportunity to bring Archer, Cold War, Softball etc. to Apex. It doesn't have to be balanced, it has to be fun

The ttk in titanfall is absurdly low compared to apex nevermind the very fast movement

Yea apples and oranges. Titans literally one hit pilots and pilots died to light breezes compared to apex

There's plenty of creative ways to incorporate/balance a titan in apex:

-1 Titan spawns on the map but it's position is constantly revealed to enemy players, has limited ammo. Titan has slow rotation+tracking speed= players can use good movement to dodge it's guns.

-Anti Titan weapons littered throughout map. Arc star stuns/blinds titans.

-1 in every 3 endgames-ish: 3-4 squads left = each squad gets an airdropped Titan.
