Instead pilots appear as an almost invisible outline with a subtle pixelation effect, a representation of the titans optics being "fooled". Cloaking also does not completely hide a pilot from the view of an actively piloted titan, though it is very effective. In addition, every optic's reticule will be removed while cloaking, which can makes target acquisition difficult while cloaked. The Smart Pistol MK5 can still lock on to cloaked enemies, but 2 times slower. It is also noteworthy that cloaking does NOT hide the charging light from the Charge Rifle, or Jump Kit exhaust from jumping, double-jumping, and wall running, even from Titans. While effective against Titans, other pilots can make out cloaked enemy pilots as bleak-white shapes. Shooting any weapon will instantly cancel a cloak, but the cloak's timer will still drain as if it was still in-use. Cloaking will also reset locks that a Smart Pistol has on you. Cloak will also fool an enemy player's Active Radar Pulse, Satellite Uplink, or Map Hack. Firing any weapon will cancel a cloak prematurely, but using melee attacks, hacking, wall running, using ordnance, locking with the Archer Heavy Rocket or Smart Pistol MK5, and charging the Charge Rifle will not cancel a cloak. Cloaking modules are built to fool a Titan's optic sensors, which makes a cloaked pilot undetectable to an Auto-Titan and almost undetectable to a piloted Titan.

Furthermore, Grunt dialogue speculates that Pilots have the cloak technology embedded in their skin - however, Jack Cooper has not been mentioned to have had augmentation surgery of any form for Cloak technology or otherwise, leaving this claim in doubt.īecoming partially invisible creates possibilities for ambushes, as well as escaping. Tai Lastimosa and Jack Cooper, alongside Pilots in the original Titanfall are all able to operate Cloak regardless of their equipment. While Titanfall 2 Pilots utilising Cloak wear ghillie suits and bulky armour, this is not exclusive.
Using the ghost squad burn card allows you to remain permanently cloaked except when firing weapons. It should be noted that cloaking is considerably more likely to fool Titans, Grunts, and Spectres than Pilots. This allow you to escape opponents, ambush enemies, avoid minions and in general reduce the pilot's visual signature. It takes 10 seconds for this to recharge, 6.6 seconds when using Power Cell.
The CQB Pilot loadout is designed for close-encounters, and what it lacks in range it makes up for in punch.Cloak allows pilots to appear nearly invisible to enemies for 9 seconds, 18 seconds with Active Camo, and for your Pilot's life with Ghost Squad.

There are several default Pilot loadouts available to new players. Pilots have global statistics, as noted below: On top of that, Pilots would have to be quite bodily strong in order to withstand the stims often used by pilots, of which two drops can keep a Grunt from sleeping for an entire week. This would also add a lore-friendly explanation on how Pilots are able to deliver lethal kicks and snap necks with such relative ease. According to them, the Pilots are on a entirely different level than them. It is also rumored that Pilots are a form of super soldiers, much like Halo's Spartans, as is made evident through Grunt dialogue.
Pilot's extreme skill are likely a result of the brutality of the training grounds they come from, of which has a 98% fatality rate. However, the jumpkit takes years to learn to use effectively, and is "hard on your knees," as grunts can occasionally be heard saying. Pilots are anything but vertically anchored. Every pilot is outfitted with a jumpkit, allowing them to perform various parkour movements, including double jumping, wall running, and Mantling. Called Pilots for their ability to control Titans, they are the extremely versatile foot soldiers controlled by the player in Titanfall.
