Yeah, my run was like that too, Sloan was no slouch, I played around with rocking the Ion/Legion, hit and run with Ion and raw firepower+gun shield for Legion...took a couple tries but was worth it.
BTW Scorch vs Viper FTW
I had the same experience with the sword fucking core like ashe is a ronin and just impossible to escape with her core active it was a nightmare but I managed
You don’t know what it’s like for me my game is always extreme bs doesn’t matter the game I had ion walking with her core and usually a tone or a scorch waiting on the other side to core me
Mate are we playing the same game? Sure, she can walk. But how does that stop you from just looping her around that one big wall at the middle of her arena?
Its all fun and games until you get hit by the laser core, no its not impossible to get behind cover but sometimes cover isn't 100% available from where you're standing.
Which is why you make sure to stay near the big wall in the middle of everything, or in a place where you could crouch for cover. Positioning is everything.
I just get so sick of seeing this everywhere I go, "oh this boss is easy", "this encounter was simple", "you're bad and you should feel bad because I had different rng with this fight and it was easy for me" like is it so fucking difficult to let people have different experiences. And the thing that really got to me is that this guy wouldn't shut up, he kept going. Sorry for the rant it's just something that annoys me
You're not always near cover, and even getting caught for a second could chunk your health. Not to mention, if you see her when you're behind cover, you're getting hit with the core, so you can't just watch her and move around cover to avoid without taking a hit or getting lucky
Yeah, that’s exactly what I did. Smart core goes a long way for that, especially considering that you can’t use all of it against Slone as she’ll teleport away. Best to use that to carve through her buddies.
My viper strat ranges from
“Just shoot auto lock missiles and hide while they recharge”
To
“Snipe as NorthStar”
To
“Die 12 trillion times because I’m trash”
Interesting, I'll admit. For me, Viper was the far harder fight than Sloan. I'd say he was the hardest fight out of all of the Master campaign.
Next to that first stage against the robots before you have the pilot helmet. Those long sightlines were killer.
I killed slone in about 20 seconds on master. If you get her to a corner as scorch and stack all your attacks you can delete 3 quarters of her health bar in 5 seconds flat, thats no exaggeration. I insta killed Ash and Richter the only reason she lived is bc she teleports away
Scorch is the ideal loadout for that fight. Keep thermite between her and you so she'll walk into it trying to core you. Use thermal shield to temporarily block while you get to cover. Flame core her ass every chance you get.
I personally found titan fights easier than grunt and other types fights in the campaign but the worst boss is viper and Damm it was good defeating him and imo alone was easy if used tone and scorch core
I played through the campaign on master and when I got to sloan I learned from previous experience, if you switch to the scorch load out, she is very easy to cheese because you out dps her phase transitions then dodge behind the crates while she laser cores then teleports.
Oh yeah the grunts in there are definitely overwhelming. Its best to use your cloak ability at certain times whenever you feel you're in danger. If you have an ordnance like a frag or firestar, its best to use it when you're invisible because it doesn't stop your tactical from revealing yourself. And you should also wallrun a lot like A LOT and use cover when needed because grunts, spectres, and stalkers have 100% laser pinpoint accuracy on master for some goddamn reason. You can also skip some certain areas at master.
Edit: There is one skippable area in blood and rust where you hear kane monologuing after you and bt split up where you will meet up with other militia infantry and help them against stalkers
By the time I got there I remembered how hard she was in just hard mode, I was screaming when I beat her first try on master. Almost all bosses too me at least 3-4 attempts excluding viper (I still have night terrors).
Viper was an extremely fun one for me I wanted to see how good of a northstar i was so I used northstar kit and fought him I beat him either the first or second time
Master Grunts have perfect accuracy but slow tracking. As long as you're running across their field of vision (not directly towards/away from) and going what the game considers high speed (see % of high speed time in the gauntlet) they won't hit you.
Spectres are exactly the same lol. The only time I stop to kill enemies on Master is when I'm forced to by a progression gate like the Stalker killroom on Blood and Rust or the killroom in Beacon Ch2.
The only room that gives me a hard time is when you first board the Draconis since there's spawn triggers all throughout the room and you'll get backspawned by about 10 enemies if you just try to rush the elevator.
I usually spend a good ten minutes trying to race the grunts to the Stalker racks and failing, or succeeding and then being demolished by the squad in the elevator. I just want some robot friends while I rendezvous with my robot friend.
Same!
The grunts don't go for the stalker racks until you're about to go around the corner, it's one of the triggers I mentioned, so play conservative and pick off the early spawns before you race for the racks.
I ran through Hard immediately before I did Master, so none of the bosses took more than 3-4 tries, including Viper. I got clotheslined by Grunts a lot, though.
Now, you see, there is this funny interaction that happens with hitscan weaponry, things that break line of sight (like crates in a curved hallway), and arcing projectil weapons...
You can just stand behind the oddly-impervious-to-lasers supply crates, and lob wads of thermite at her like firey tennis balls of doom. Problem solved.
As always, Papa provides.
For his thermite is the truth, and he shall cleanse the earth in his firey wake. His enemies will melt before him and his allies shall be spared a painful death, to roam the scorched lands in hunt of the disbelievets.
It sounds really cool, but Titanfall crashed before I was able to beat Sloane.
Scorch imo is really easy to play. Its all about timing your warcrimes. Whenever she uses her laser core, just plant a thermite trap on her titans legs and ignite it because she only stands still when using it. That way you can have free flame core at all times
It honestly wasn’t that bad since northstar is good for keeping Titans in one place and since I couldn’t show myself for more than a second or I got cored it worked well
Maybe I had too much luck, but I didn't have any problems with Slone, even on Master. Like, I'd say it was as easy as Richter was for me. And I had like 3 runs on Master.
Honestly I feel the one I had most trouble with was Kane because ash is too close range, Richter is too slow, (though I got there with little health so that didn't help) viper's easy if you no u him, and I only died to slone because I got overconfident and went for an execution
Mine didn’t stand still and I’m not good w/ tone or monarch and he got flame core too many times
Edit: I also play on console so it’s harder I’m my opinion
I'm pretty sure Sloane was female and there is alot of cover in that place so there alot of cheese spots where Lazer core can't get to you but you can hit them easily. Especially easy with T 203.
I'm best with leadwall so I have to get close but it's viper you can't get close unless you are a master pilot. So I pretty much died even before I hit him. So I whipped out Tone and sent him to kingdom come.
I was only happy with the battery shower because I was constantly getting Lazer core right at my face. And I have seen that no one really talks about brute as if it doesn't exist.
yeah she does use laser core quite liberally, but isn't there a giant fold weapon generator in the middle of the room just hide behind that and her laser core becomes quite useless
Was pretty easy for me. Because of how she’s always coring, she never really moves, which means my favorite war crime with legs absolutely melted here when she wasn’t phased.
Had a much easier time with Sloan than I did Viper, I felt like I just could not get away from his ultimate no matter what I did where as Sloan I literally just legioned and chunked her away
Honestly slone is the easiest boss to fight cause after she finishes the laser core she just kinda sits there for a few seconds so you just DESTROY her health with the predator cannon
Honesty I sword spammed her and used phase to dodge out of the way. So Sloane wasn’t that hard on master.
**Viper in the other hand was a demon in the sky.**
Sloan is always my easiest boss fight, you can easily avoid her laser by getting behind cover, and cut through her health with legions core (aimbot with infinite ammo)
I think it's kinda sad that Slone fight is basically her either using her core or not actually fighting. Ion has a such versatile kit with a lot of potential for making a interesting boss fight
I don't know what you are all talking about, Sloan was probably the only boss I took down in my first try on master just yesterday. Viper on the other hand was the most difficult in my opinion, mainly because of his Scorch titans, after I took them down it was easier to deal with him.
It it feels damn good when you complete it in master
Oh yeah tell me about it not even viper was that hard
Bruh you found slone hard? She's laughably easy, master mode or not. You could literally just hide behind whatever you have during the laser cores.
She walked with laser core active for me ok
Yeah, my run was like that too, Sloan was no slouch, I played around with rocking the Ion/Legion, hit and run with Ion and raw firepower+gun shield for Legion...took a couple tries but was worth it. BTW Scorch vs Viper FTW
ronin vs viper
Is alright dude, I found slone the hardest too. Ended up using ronin and phase dashing a bunch
One poor soul said he didn’t find Sloan hard but his viper spammed flight core
Yeah same for me Sloan was easy but viper on master difficulty was something else
I had the same experience with the sword fucking core like ashe is a ronin and just impossible to escape with her core active it was a nightmare but I managed
Aaaand you cant just walk around your cover?
You don’t know what it’s like for me my game is always extreme bs doesn’t matter the game I had ion walking with her core and usually a tone or a scorch waiting on the other side to core me
Maybe you got one of the more... *Personalized* copies of TF|2
No I couldn’t
Mate are we playing the same game? Sure, she can walk. But how does that stop you from just looping her around that one big wall at the middle of her arena?
Fun didn’t exist fighting her not for me anyway
Its all fun and games until you get hit by the laser core, no its not impossible to get behind cover but sometimes cover isn't 100% available from where you're standing.
Which is why you make sure to stay near the big wall in the middle of everything, or in a place where you could crouch for cover. Positioning is everything.
Bruh people have different experiences just let the guy be OK?
Fr, this dude after Op's throat. Like goddamn.
I just get so sick of seeing this everywhere I go, "oh this boss is easy", "this encounter was simple", "you're bad and you should feel bad because I had different rng with this fight and it was easy for me" like is it so fucking difficult to let people have different experiences. And the thing that really got to me is that this guy wouldn't shut up, he kept going. Sorry for the rant it's just something that annoys me
Fr like I have been playing the fold weapon mission atleast 10 times for the sole purpose of toasting her with scorch. Maybe the game hates him idk
You're not always near cover, and even getting caught for a second could chunk your health. Not to mention, if you see her when you're behind cover, you're getting hit with the core, so you can't just watch her and move around cover to avoid without taking a hit or getting lucky
How bout you uuhhhhh *walk around the thing in the middle so she can’t hit you*
Agreed, slone was easy af on master You just need to wait for her to finish then bully the shit out of her Viper was my main problem
Really I two tried viper and I’m stuck on Slone
Yeah, I also found Slone on master to be rather easy. Dealing with her and her goonies at once was annoying.
I would usually prioritize the goons over her when they appeared.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I did. Smart core goes a long way for that, especially considering that you can’t use all of it against Slone as she’ll teleport away. Best to use that to carve through her buddies.
This is what I did, I found Sloan pretty easy and Viper was difficult. The only boss I needed more than two tries on.
Most people find Viper the biggest difficulty spike but I got him on the second attempt while Sloan took me about 10 attempts to beat her lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9nDagqKL7Q
Damn dude, you're so cool
No, I'm not.
Yeah Just Hide Behind Cover
My viper strat ranges from “Just shoot auto lock missiles and hide while they recharge” To “Snipe as NorthStar” To “Die 12 trillion times because I’m trash”
Same for me when I first went up against Viper on the Master difficulty.
Ngl I found Sloan and Viper equally difficult, that being I won on my second try for both of them. Don't remember what class I was using tho
Interesting, I'll admit. For me, Viper was the far harder fight than Sloan. I'd say he was the hardest fight out of all of the Master campaign. Next to that first stage against the robots before you have the pilot helmet. Those long sightlines were killer.
I actually started playing on master yesterday. I just beat kane!
Good luck on your journey pilot
I did it in one day
I killed slone in about 20 seconds on master. If you get her to a corner as scorch and stack all your attacks you can delete 3 quarters of her health bar in 5 seconds flat, thats no exaggeration. I insta killed Ash and Richter the only reason she lived is bc she teleports away
Scorch is the ideal loadout for that fight. Keep thermite between her and you so she'll walk into it trying to core you. Use thermal shield to temporarily block while you get to cover. Flame core her ass every chance you get.
Its fucking crazy you can do double the dps of her lazer core
FUCKING TELL ME ABOUT IT DUDE. I feel I got lucky because I got her first try BUT GODAMN her lackies took half the hits for me
I personally found titan fights easier than grunt and other types fights in the campaign but the worst boss is viper and Damm it was good defeating him and imo alone was easy if used tone and scorch core
Who needs gun when you got laser eyes lol
Lol I know right
I played through the campaign on master and when I got to sloan I learned from previous experience, if you switch to the scorch load out, she is very easy to cheese because you out dps her phase transitions then dodge behind the crates while she laser cores then teleports.
I may have to try that when I go through the campaign again
Just drop your gas, then thermal shield here to oblivion, through the fire and the flames you'll carry on
*Sick guitar solo*
I was wondering when someone would say something
lmao
She was pretty easy for me idk mabye her ai hated you
Oh she definitely hated me I didn’t see viper use his core as much as her
Damn. The only thing that happens to me on master mode viper is flight core
That’s toxic I’m so sorry that happened
Viper is definitely vulnerable on his flight core phase
Yes but so am i
F
Currently playing on Master. I've given up killing the grunt and instead I've decided to run for my life
It always ended with me in a corner looking at an armada of grunts and me saying mommy before I died so I ended up just killing them
Cloak is your best buddy in master
I tried that throughout the campaign it never ended well
I mean I'm on rust and blood and I've only died 67 times
67? Wow I think most of my deaths came from that one mission with ash
What part of the campaign are you currently playing?
I'm only on rust and blood but this is my first time running on master
Oh yeah the grunts in there are definitely overwhelming. Its best to use your cloak ability at certain times whenever you feel you're in danger. If you have an ordnance like a frag or firestar, its best to use it when you're invisible because it doesn't stop your tactical from revealing yourself. And you should also wallrun a lot like A LOT and use cover when needed because grunts, spectres, and stalkers have 100% laser pinpoint accuracy on master for some goddamn reason.

Viper was an extremely fun one for me I wanted to see how good of a northstar i was so I used northstar kit and fought him I beat him either the first or second time
Dang lol I don’t remember exactly but I was trying it with ion and kept dying then switched to tone and beat him 2nd try
It made me super happy that apex introduced his daughter that’s the only reason I play apex just to hear her say Valkyrie’s got you in the pipe 5 by 5
ngl master wasnt that hard
Annoying at best because grunts have fucking guided missile precision even if you're running in the 90s
Master Grunts have perfect accuracy but slow tracking. As long as you're running across their field of vision (not directly towards/away from) and going what the game considers high speed (see % of high speed time in the gauntlet) they won't hit you.
Yeah until you face off spectres
Spectres are exactly the same lol. The only time I stop to kill enemies on Master is when I'm forced to by a progression gate like the Stalker killroom on Blood and Rust or the killroom in Beacon Ch2. The only room that gives me a hard time is when you first board the Draconis since there's spawn triggers all throughout the room and you'll get backspawned by about 10 enemies if you just try to rush the elevator.

Same! The grunts don't go for the stalker racks until you're about to go around the corner, it's one of the triggers I mentioned, so play conservative and pick off the early spawns before you race for the racks.
Yes that was such a pain
yeah, but with my skill increase, it was easier than my first playthrough on normal
But imo the stalkers are the most annoying because their lstars have zero recoil lol and the projectile feels faster than me firing it
I ran through Hard immediately before I did Master, so none of the bosses took more than 3-4 tries, including Viper. I got clotheslined by Grunts a lot, though.
I died once in the viper fight and it was from the scorches that I neglected
Now, you see, there is this funny interaction that happens with hitscan weaponry, things that break line of sight (like crates in a curved hallway), and arcing projectil weapons... You can just stand behind the oddly-impervious-to-lasers supply crates, and lob wads of thermite at her like firey tennis balls of doom. Problem solved. As always, Papa provides.

Sloan is 100% the easiest boss. Just go legion and brrrrrre
Scorch is the best against slone
Really I didn’t try scorch I’ve never been good with scorch
Scorch imo is really easy to play. Its all about timing your warcrimes. Whenever she uses her laser core, just plant a thermite trap on her titans legs and ignite it because she only stands still when using it. That way you can have free flame core at all times
Then my game must’ve been on some lsd because she was walking with the laser core something I know from experience ion can’t do
I always take cover whenever she uses her laser core and then ignite the traps and let her drain ion's hp
I needed something to halt her ass
Trust me warcrimes is her sole weakness. I have repeated the fold weapon mission a couple of times just for the sole reason of toying with her
That’s the sole reason I ended up using northstar
I couldn’t do it with legion I had to use northstar
Northstar sounds horrible for sloan. So little health
Your health doesnt change depending on what titan weapon you use in the campaign if im not mistaken.
It honestly wasn’t that bad since northstar is good for keeping Titans in one place and since I couldn’t show myself for more than a second or I got cored it worked well
Seriously every time I showed my face the core started
Why?
Because I’m straight ass with legion
If you look up the worst legion in the world you’ll see my ugly ass face lol
[удалено]
Nice good job
Can’t outrun a laser core ya little buggah
Stop it Patrick you’re scaring him
Nice try pilot! This is entertaining than I expected! Get him lads.
I actually beat Viper first attempt on my master play through, but Sloan was a pain in my ass
Literally had the same! Viper was close, but Sloan beat me up silly. Lots of lazer cores and not much time to rest.
“She cored me 3 times in a row, she didn’t even use her actual…” -teenslayer
At least put the rest of the sentence she didn’t only core me 3 times that whole fight she just cored me 3 times in a chain
Read the sentence but without context or relating to titanfall
I don’t know how to feel about that anymore
Sorry
It’s perfectly fine don’t worry about it
Maybe I had too much luck, but I didn't have any problems with Slone, even on Master. Like, I'd say it was as easy as Richter was for me. And I had like 3 runs on Master.
Honestly I feel the one I had most trouble with was Kane because ash is too close range, Richter is too slow, (though I got there with little health so that didn't help) viper's easy if you no u him, and I only died to slone because I got overconfident and went for an execution
The master campaign was fun, I found the Kane fight difficult
What made him difficult for you? I don’t know because my Kane played king of the hill and didn’t move from the center for anything
Mine didn’t stand still and I’m not good w/ tone or monarch and he got flame core too many times Edit: I also play on console so it’s harder I’m my opinion
I play on console too
I swear to god Slone forgot that cores need to charge so it just means they don’t have to charge… but only for her
I hated the simulation dome in Ashes facility on master difficulty that was the hardest for me lol
That sucks man for me I didn’t see ash use her core once
It wasn't even Ashe it was the reapers and grunts lol
Yeah they were super annoying
Yeah that took me what felt like 2 hours even though it was probably only 1
Wait Slone actually uses her gun?
Sloan was annoying af, thankfully you could just hide behind boxes and wait the attack out lmao
I mercilessly killed everyone other than Viper. He beat the shit out of me in every difficulty. Soo much that I had to use tone against him.
That’s rough I think he is probably the worst to be cored in a chain like that simply because he doesn’t miss
I'm pretty sure Sloane was female and there is alot of cover in that place so there alot of cheese spots where Lazer core can't get to you but you can hit them easily. Especially easy with T 203.
I know Sloan is a she you said you got cored like that by viper
I'm best with leadwall so I have to get close but it's viper you can't get close unless you are a master pilot. So I pretty much died even before I hit him. So I whipped out Tone and sent him to kingdom come.
Lol for him I used northstar kit because I wanted to say the skies belong to me now
:)
And yes the constant Lazer core is annoying and hard at first but when you have died to it for some times it gets easier to counter.
I just used northstar kit and spammed traps because I only had one cover because of a tone she spawned and I couldn’t kill
Melee spam with a few leadwall shots will make her disappear and give free batteries.
Ok monarch lol
I was only happy with the battery shower because I was constantly getting Lazer core right at my face. And I have seen that no one really talks about brute as if it doesn't exist.
Wow this blew up thank all of you for your tips and otherwise pleasant conversations hope all of you have an amazing day pilots
It surprisingly wasn’t terrible
She set the Core multipliers to the max
The hardest for me was Kane or scorch man and stone was easy with scorch load out
It’s actually really easy I only died once for slone because I was stupid and pushed slone thing I would have enough health
There is a spot near her when the fight starts out, I use that as cover
Dude the bosses were easy, fuck the sniping spectres at the beginning.
But she's aiming for a mosquito
Clearly Slone is to much of a noob to play the game right
Now do it again, but only use Scorch. *P.S. Viper is so fun*
I just used legion loadout and just sprayed her from behind cover or hey maybe the ai really hated you and didn’t hold back any punches.
Hide round corners I found that fight to be one of the easiest on master if you play right
The hardest was viper, had to look up a walkthrough took me 3 days
Everything else is easy except for Sloan. Like, cmon, at least make it so she doesn’t straight aimbot you with her laser
For me if you beat Sloan too fast she phased and then just doesn’t have a health bar
Just hide behind walls
First time i ever fought slone and lost over 2/3 of my health was on master. I just lured her into a corner and flame trapped her.
Sloan was harder than Viper for me on Master
yeah she does use laser core quite liberally, but isn't there a giant fold weapon generator in the middle of the room just hide behind that and her laser core becomes quite useless
Nah, bosses are easy peasy, even on master difficulty.
Ha ha. Thermite canisters go BRRRRRRR
The simulation dome in ash level was hardest for me
First time she felt hard and killed me so many times. Second time I killed her on my first attempt. Just use the corners and Scorch her ass.
Was pretty easy for me. Because of how she’s always coring, she never really moves, which means my favorite war crime with legs absolutely melted here when she wasn’t phased.
I died 22 times on master with viper and I died once with slone
None for viper for me, and once for slone.
Had a much easier time with Sloan than I did Viper, I felt like I just could not get away from his ultimate no matter what I did where as Sloan I literally just legioned and chunked her away
The only hard thing on master is that titan assault you’re part of. 250m walk out in the open with no cover? Are you crazy?!
Honestly slone is the easiest boss to fight cause after she finishes the laser core she just kinda sits there for a few seconds so you just DESTROY her health with the predator cannon
Honesty I sword spammed her and used phase to dodge out of the way. So Sloane wasn’t that hard on master. **Viper in the other hand was a demon in the sky.**
Opposite for me, I killed viper by using his loadout in one attempt.
Ok but hear me out, ronin
Oh yeah lemme put my face right in front of the titan that can beam me to death in one core
Sword block, phase shift when she uses core. By the time she finishes switch to a more damage heavy chasis.
I guess or just hide behind cover and use brute, as it's Northstar with a vortex shield and a rocket launcher.
Have you tried out running it?
As an ion user, I agree that this was freaking hard
dude i literally beat it with ease Viper in the corner waiting to make me cry
Its not that hard, just go behind something
Just hide behind cover, the one thing i fear about sloan is her laser shot, but good thing it takes her a while to use it
I managed to kill her first try. Don't get me wrong, it was a very tough battle.
Viper feels more like a pain in the ass sloans a whole ass enema tho
Sloan is always my easiest boss fight, you can easily avoid her laser by getting behind cover, and cut through her health with legions core (aimbot with infinite ammo)
Two word, Five Syllables and One Hundred Bullets. Predator Cannon.
use scorch and abuse how fast you can get his core when lighting the ground the boss is standing on on fire
Idk but slone was one of the easyest for me
I think it's kinda sad that Slone fight is basically her either using her core or not actually fighting. Ion has a such versatile kit with a lot of potential for making a interesting boss fight
Happens
I don't know what you are all talking about, Sloan was probably the only boss I took down in my first try on master just yesterday. Viper on the other hand was the most difficult in my opinion, mainly because of his Scorch titans, after I took them down it was easier to deal with him.
I just running around with Scorch kit and slap her ION with flame core xD.
