New Titanfall Server Update Rolling Out, Nerfs Smart Pistol, Tweaks Scores, and More

A new server side patch is rolling out for Titanfall on the Xbox One and PC.

Along with a number of bug fixes, there are a few notable balance changes as well. The Smart Pistol is getting a bit of a decrease in damage and hip-fire accuracy, for instance. Game modes like CTF and Attrition have also been tweaked when it comes to scoring. An exploit allowing players to use Burn Cards more than once has also been addressed.

Check out the full notes below:
