Titanfall 2 | Let's Talk: Holo Pilot 

Unironically the best ability. 95% of pilots can't afford NOT to shoot it

3:30 "it only relies on how simple minded your enemy is" Me who got fooled 500 times by holo pilots: oh... okay then...

It is pronounced bamboozle pilot

Sorry sir you have been caught using the smart pistol and your pilot license has been revoked

I was playing Attrition once, and I walked into a room with a holo pilot in the center and two holograms on either side of him, all facing the wall. It looked kind of like that council meme, so I just waited to see what he did. When the two holos disappeared, he turned around slowly and barfed up an insane number of holos, ran past me, out the door, and blew up. One of the best games of my life XD

I think you are overestimating the intelligence of titanfall 2 players, also, in the heat of the moment it is pretty easy to fall for a holo pilot, especially if you use it to make your enemy think you are trying to run from him or to cover up a retreat with a still holopilot

As a holo pilot main, it is not bad, at all. It took me some practice to be good with it. The deal is to use it wisely, but trust me, holopilot is a great ability. Many people understimate its power probably because they don't know how to use it properly. Just like grapple, ou have to learn the areas where it is effective and practice.

4:55 *Uses smart pistol*

As a holo pilot user myself we just live for the one moment every 5 games that you successfully bamboozle a enemy pilot

Ah yes, the Tactical that nobody understands how to use and thus thinks its awful. Just like how tone was OP, and How Ronin is currently getting bitched at for being OP despite being squishy and even more reliant on dumb enemies than holo pilot is So lets get this show on the road. What advantage does it bring. Well from the least beneficial upwards Is the best way to do it I guess. AI, AI always prioritises the Holo. So grunts, Spectres, Reapers and stalkers all stop shooting you to shoot it. If you're weak, they're a threat you've been saved from, if not, the reaper is atleast distracted and Obviously an Auto titan will also prioritise it. So yes in this case its nearly useless with a couple niche abilities. Now, onto actual helpful things. Its basically a Pulse blade with two charges and a faster recharge. Send it into a room and you know exactly where the enemy is because they're gonna open fire immediately, marking the map. So thats one use. Next is a direct follow on, a distraction. Send in a second one as you cook a nade and then when they shoot at it, throw the nade. Distraction, free kill. EZ. It can stop a whole teams advance if you time it right by sending it round the corner as they get to it. The result is like scary six cats who all leap into the air and scramble to respond. I have wiped out whole teams just by sending one round the corner, nading it, then repeating and gunning down the distracted people. Its a planning tool, not a reactionary tool like the majority of tacticals. Third is mid gunfight. As soon as you break sight hit the holo and then reverse your direction. They'll shoot at the holo and you'll shoot them, stealing away the victory they thought they had. You have to think about what you're doing with this, if you do, you'll almost guarantee a pub stomp. And laughs. Cuz memes. Play smart, not hard

7:24 Holy shit do Respawn watch your videos. In Apex Legends Mirage goes invisible when he summons his pilot nova for like 5 seconds.

Enemy pilot: Sends out hologram Me a Reach veteran: "Oh, you're approaching me!"

Fun Idea: In at the end of a game, use all your holo pilot nova's at once. (like get as many as you can in a game, and at the end at the evac, just spam and army of holos just for the lols... maybe you can blend in with then to the drop ship. i don't know.) (*Think i saw this idea on internet somewhere*)

Bruh this dude really just predicted apex legends in 2017

I know it's years after the fact, but if I may: The secret to understanding the Holo Pilot is understanding people, and the timing involved in their thinking. It's best to understand this intuitively but here's my most simple breakdown: People have four basic states in Titanfall: searching, alerted, in-combat, and zen (not even joking). Each state moves faster than the last. It's about the brain. Searching takes the most brain power and will always be the slowest. People in a zen state play this game all the time and literally aren't thinking - they're very fast, and might as well be holo pilot kryptonite. Your job, as a Holo Pilot user, is put the appropriate distance between you and your holo to account for your opponents brain. If they're moving fast, they need to see a holo, then you need to shoot them within, like, 100 milliseconds. It doesn't matter what they're skill level is. Unless they're in the habit of ignoring enemies, or they've got god-like focus (zen people), then they'll just be 100 milliseconds behind. Likewise, when people are searching, you can use a few full seconds between you and the holo. Advanced techniques include using parkour to put your holo in various awkward orientations, not just right in front of you. Soft skills include identifying exactly when someone has seen you, shooting people from weird angles, and knowing when to be a parkour god vs when to keep your boots on the ground (holo pilots don't jump). There is no skill that cannot be honed.

I think holopilot should be holopilot nova. I like the idea of throwing 3 holo pilots in your face confusing the shit out of an enemy. Then the boost holopilot nova is replaced with 20 holopilot in different directions, being used as a smoke screen

As an ex-Holopilot main, I can confirm that the class can have extremely long survival times if used to bamboozle properly

7:26 mirages ultimate on apex legends

“What if it turned you invisible for a second or two.” Respawn: Hippitity Hoppitity your idea is now in apex legends

Holopilot is my favorite pilot tactical :3

Holopilot shotgun works great for Frontier Defense on certain maps. From a lore theory perspective; Cloak hides pilots until they strike the enemy; Phase Shift helps pilots evade/attack/escape enemies depending on the situation; Holopilots deceive their enemy and kill them before the enemy realizes the target was a holo. This enemy the HP engages could be a Titan or group of Spectres/Reapers. Against human pilots the holo is easier to detect but it can work, even if it's not as effective. From a multi-player perspective it kinda sucks by comparison to other choices but from the cinematic TF2 trailer depicting it, the Holo would be an invaluable "point man" in a planned attack on unsuspecting enemies. While not all weapons are equally strong, the strongest isn't always the best. It's how the weapon is used that truly determines how deadly it is.

I used nova when introducing my friend to titanfall. They had no clue what was happening. It was entertaining while it lasted.

I've played aggressive players with the hollow pilot and it also proves how simple minded people are and you can outsmart them but there are distinct characteristics that are very subtle of how you can tell if it's an actual pilot or a hollow

2:58 trying so hard to hold back the laugh

As a Holopilot main, they are really useful against auto Titans, since they usually attack the hologram first. I’m usually not able to fool many players with it, but when I do it’s an amazing feeling. I also like the armor design the best. I like using my Holopilot before I round a corner in case there’s a sniper or a camper waiting for me. If it stays alive, then I follow it. It’s helped me to suss out where some enemies are, and where is safe to move to. It’s extremely good in FD, since all the enemies are AI. I usually wait for them to horde up, use my Holopilot to draw their fire, then place down a satchel. Then I just clean up what’s left with the EPG. I also think it’s execution looks amazing (it’s called Shadow Boxing, if you’re not sure which one).

I actually love to use it, if you use it in a room or outside, you could know where the enemies are based on where their shooting from, or just use it as a distraction for other enemies to shoot at while you kill them, it’s just all about learning when and how to use it.

Rolling around at the speed of sound got to follow my little hollow pilot

"Makes them invisible after for a second while activated" Respawn making Mirage : Write that down , Write than down !!

*A L R T I G H T*

7:28 he actually predicted it how

"You got bamboozled, look at you!"

WOW look a stormtrooper 😂👍

Holo-Pilot can actually be a very good loadout if you know how to use it properly, like when you have low health. Use the Holo-Pilot to buy you some time to run. Making the enemy think that you are running in another direction.

So thats how Mirage gets his ability and "Bamboozle" Catchphrase

I confused the shit outta my friends when I was fighting them, hell, if the enemy has aiming help, they'll lock onto the holo-pilot instead. That's what happened to my friend when I used it on him.

I love how you put a bit of a meme spin im your video, love it!

4:40 you can use holopilot nova when ejecting out of your titan to decrease the chances of you being shot out of the air , by the time the enemy worked out which one is you , you already got back to earth and rushed into cover

This is so good, your quality of videos has come so far, nice work!

I did manage to make the enemy team think I was a hologram one by activating one hologram then just going in an exact straight line. Only thing I've ever been proud of

Love the comedy and the editing of this video keep up!

how to improve holo pilot: make it so that when another pilot attacks the hologram it reveals and highlights the position of them for a short period

2:07 That looks like a republic commando, storm troopers do not have glowing visors. Republic Commandos do.

I find it best for tricking people when you have a new or underpowered weapon to be able to kill them while they are distracted, or to check if an areas clear by sending one out to see if it gets destroyed

I know this video is 2 years old, but one of my favorite tricks with holo pilot is went you get the enemies attention get cover and place the holo grams. So all they see is three of the same enime standing still.

You should voice one of the titans in Titanfall 3

7:18 oh I know rewind the video 10 sec.

Also nice editing dude keep up the good vids (overall great vid

That blink as always sunny in, ALL AVOUT THE ENTRANCE 😆

Please do a theory on what the harvester harvests in frontier defense in the latest update.

2016 : ah shit I fell for a holo 2021: fuck you mirage

I love it when i have a epic moment with holo pilot it feel so go to get someone with it

THE ALGORITHM HAS RECCOMENDED THIS MASTERPEICE TO ME AGAIN AFTER MANY YEARS!

I just like the look of the holo pilot. It looks like mandalorian armor

i find the holo pilot very useful. i've bamboozled a lot of people while using him.

Hey flying tea cup your honestly my favorite RU-vidd and you actually bring me happiness so yeah thanks for that

Thank you for using that sweet sonic music

The only use is in CTF, to distract the enemy from where you’re ACTUALLY sitting in a corner.

Him: says that when you have holo pilot you think you have grapping hook and use holo pilot by accident as a joke me: how does he know?

great video, keep up the good work!

BEST LODOUT EVER LOOOOOOL, And fazeshit really u are great!!!

I bet you also think the softball is a "bad gun"

To really use holo pilot you need to act like a hologram , like waking into walls, and stuff like that. If you use a holo pilot and start wall running and shooting, People will know that your not a holo

Hey tea cup nice vid i love holo pilot it is amazing

HoloPilot 9 times out of 10 gives me a head start against enemies. Its also a great troll class too. I think the best thing about it is how no one really expects it. Very few players use holo pilot, it really makes my play style unique since I have never fought another pilot using HoloPilot.

I saw “let’s talk” and I thought it was going to be another EMINEM and MGK thing lol “let’s talk about it”

“And the holo pilot is like” *EyH bAuSs!* I like holo pilot cuz he looks nice Filthy frank lmao

I’ve been able to use holo pilot affectively. It’s really good for baiting enemies into shooting at it while u hide and they just give away there positions and then taking them out before they can tell what’s happened

Tbh holo is really fun. I used him for the execution challenge and I got several triple kills because of my hologram

How do u have only 2k subs u should have more

Its not *that* bad.. I think if instead of repeating one action they should repeat all of your actions in the past second, including firing your gun. That might make them more believable

Your correct on the mistake of thinking you have grapple equipped. Happened to me today

I think a great thing about it is the fact that no one uses it. So when it is used, it's always more unexpected than if it was meta.

This guy just predicted mirage in apex

this video inspired mirage's ult in apex legends...

I personally love using hpilot to mess with the enemy, plus using it in a chase can be pretty useful

I like holo pilot, ime they fall for it 9/10 times. Also you can use to distract a pilot turret

0:04 "hello there, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior jes-"

2:07 Republic commandos: *ANGRY BACTA NOISES*

I’m a really new player who just beat the campaign and joined from apex legends and it’s so awe striking to see your amazing mobility

I noticed recently that when the hologram is shot by a grunt it sometimes doesn’t get instantly killed but it’s hp is drained

idk man...the amount of times i have bamboozled people with the reflex's and self control of a mongoose is comical....

I can think of a way on how the holo makes a sound when it dies is useful. If your being cornered by a couple people you can send one out and then go the opposite way. If you hear the sound then you know that their attention is over there and you can throw an arc star or make a quick getaway. If it doesnt, well you would die anyway

One of the most fun uses for both Holo Pilot and Holo Pilot Nova is to wait until you get all three of your boosts, then when playing a 1v1, unleash everything. Its just so funny to see their reactions to 11 pilots run out from around a corner.

Holy pilot nova is great for confusion. I've used it to clock and run directly up to pilots and melee them as they shot at what they though was me.

Halo pilot + monarch was my favorite set up

This is an ability that no one uses and you can be sure that everyone will fall for it every time

About the grapple and accidentally use hologram thing, it is so true, especially since I am a grapple main.

its useful when you are good with it.

That makes clone wars again on the battlefield.

The cloaking while hologramming sounds awesome, but if they holos could also fire at any enemy in their line of sight? They could do half the damage you do, maybe they could also explode once they die.

my favorite moment i ever had in titanfall 2 was when i set up a hologram in a window and another just crouching in the corner of the room and I pretended to be a obvious hologram. 3 players rushed right past me and i got them with a satchel charge i hid.

Holy crap dude this video its just too damn funny loved all the edits and memes you did, i would love to see more of these and maybe you could get some different people to do voices for these sketches. Anyway this was gud, 11/10 would respawn again

I love how there are some random memes and earrapes sprinkled here and there

This is valuable in point capture modes I guess

A quick tap of my bumper and gunfire is directed away from me

It is good in Live Fire when people are on edge, they fall for it often

This video just earned you another sub!

Yeah I've been there with the grapple holo or stim part

I know it might sound dumb to mention it now but I've found that the tracking on melee will autolock on holo's instead of the player if used at the right time
