Slingshot

Slingshotting is a Pilot movement technique involving Grapple in Titanfall 2.

By attaching the grapple at the edge of its range or at a higher elevation, then jumping just as the grapple begins to pull, the pilot can be thrown vast distances, over structures, Titans and even across entire maps.

Strategy

• Combining this technique with Slide Hopping allows speed to be carried even further
• Pilots using this technique are notoriously difficult to hit, especially with projectile weapons.
• The large height and speed advantage, along with the element of surprise allows for lightning-fast hit and run attacks, along with fast capture speeds.
• Air Strafing and tactical use of the Jump Kit can further enhance this technique's effectiveness.
• This can be used to ambush Titans with unexpected Rodeo attacks.

Trivia

• It is unknown whether this method was voluntarily included by Respawn Entertainment or a simple bug, but given how it has been left, the former is more probable.
• By going at immense speeds, Pilots can 'break' the game's hit registration; shots that appear to hit their target will instead do no damage, yet blood effects will still issue from the target.
