Titanfall 2 is an FPS game with the player taking on the role of Jack Cooper, as they become the unwitting pilot of a Titan mech, BT-7274.

Titanfall 2: Every Titan, Ranked From Worst To Best
Knowing which Titans are the best to use in a given situation is key to playing Titanfall 2 properly and well, and here is a ranking of every class.
If there is one bad thing about Titanfall 2, it is that the main campaign is quite short, and can be completed in a single, long gaming session. However, there are some great mods that can help to spice things up for players who would like to try a second playthrough once they have completed the vanilla game.
7 Toggle HUD
Great For Making Screenshots
- Mod author: TheJanitor
- Download link: Toggle HUD
The first entry on this list is a very simple mod that has plenty of utility. Titanfall 2 is a visually pleasing game, but getting good screenshots can be tough, as much of the screen is taken up by the Titan and its weapons. The Toggle HUD helps with this.
Titanfall 2: Best Weapons, Ranked
Players looking for the strongest loadout for Titanfall 2 need not search further than this ranking of the game's best weapons.
Once installed, pressing the caps lock key will toggle the HUD on and off. This means screenshots can be grabbed without the targeting overlay and other HUD elements being visible. However, toggling off the HUD will also remove all game menus, so it isn’t perfect, but better than not being able to toggle the HUD off at all.
6 Lightsight Reshade For TitanFall2
Improved Graphics Quality

Titanfall 2 was developed using a customized version of the Source Engine. Unfortunately, this means that the game looks a little dated today. However, the small but dedicated modding community has developed a few mods that freshen up the graphics.
The Lightsight Reshade For TitanFall2 is one such mod. It aims to clear up the display, and reduce the amount of noise that is rendered. The aim of the mod is to maintain the dynamic effects, but make them much clearer. The mod works at all resolutions, and has a minimal impact on performance.
5 Colony Overhaul
Upgrades Colony Graphics

Colony Overhaul is another graphical enhancement mod for Titanfall 2. This one has a very specific focus, and the results are pretty impressive indeed. The mod does nothing during single-player campaign play, but it does have a huge impact on the Colony multiplayer map.
First of all, the Colony map is switched from day to night, making it much darker. A lovely skybox that displays a nebula in space has been added as well. However, it is the additional bloom, as well as the custom desaturation filter and the tweaks to the god that really make this map pop when using the mod.
4 No-Intro (Skip Startup - Splash Videos)
Save Some Valuable Time

- Download link: No-Intro (Skip Startup - Splash Videos)
As mods go, the No-Intro (Skip Startup - Splash Videos) for Titanfall 2 is quite simple in effect but likely wasn’t simple to develop. Titanfall 2 has a pretty long delay between starting the game and getting to the main menu, due to the many splash and cut scenes.
This mod removes all of these tedious video segments entirely. This means that the game loads much more quickly, and the player won’t need to escape past multiple splash screens before they can load a save or enter a multiplayer match.
3 Destroyer Titan
Adds Another Titan To The Game
- Mod author: EM4V
- Download link: Destroyer Titan
The Destroyer Titan mod for Titanfall 2 does something quite clever, it adds the class Destroyer Titan from Titanfall Online to the game. This isn’t just a graphical change, switching models, the mod makes the Titan completely playable, with all of its equipment and abilities.
Titanfall 2: Best Loadouts For PVP
Titanfall is filled with a wide array of weapons, perks, and titans. Some of them are better suited for PVP dominance. Here are some solid loadouts!
The Titan has its own weapon as well, the charge cannon, and also a multi-target missile system. Abilities include overcloak, which, as the name suggests, enables overcharging the Titan’s cloaking ability. This is a great mod for mixing up gameplay, as playing as a different Titan changes the game considerably.
2 Night City (Northstar)
Revamps The Angel City Map
- Mod author: Rwyn
- Download link: Night City (Northstar)
Night City (Northstar) mod for Titanfall 2 has a couple of prerequisites that players will need to cover to get this mod to work. They will need to use the special Northstar client, and also install the VanillaPlus mod.
Once these prerequisites are met, the Angel City map will receive a number of visual changes. Firstly, it will be switched to night from day, and an appropriate skybox will be included. Secondly, it changes the signage and other visual elements to new visuals that are inspired by Night City from Cyberpunk 2077. The result looks great, and is very convincing.
1 Titanfall 2 Viewmodel And ADS FOV Change
Frees Up Screen Real Estate
Mod author: imLpb
Download link: Titanfall 2 Viewmodel And ADS FOV Change
One minor annoyance when playing Titanfall 2 is the screen space that some of the larger weapons take up. They block the view, and make it hard to spot enemies at long range. The Titanfall 2 Viewmodel And ADS FOV Change mod helps with this problem.
All viewmodels have been moved down and to the right slightly, which results in more empty screen space towards the center of the screen, which vastly improves the player’s vision. Furthermore, the field of view has been tweaked for each weapon, as well as the zoom level that is possible. Overall, a great little mod that solves one of the problems that players have with the game.
