Respawn has just released the “A Glitch in the Frontier” free DLC for Titanfall 2. This DLC adds new maps, a new execution and a new faction. The new execution unlocks after getting 10 Pilot kills with the Pulse Blade and if you have already achieved the 10 kills it will unlock retroactively.

In addition, this patch fixes two PC-specific issues: a crash issue when switching from Crossfire to SLI, as well as a bug where top 3 player callsigns would overlap the chat box at the end of the match.

Respawn has also dressed things up a bit with new background videos, updates, and tiles with rad stuff we think you should check out, increased Pilot Gen to 100, and added Live Fire mode to Private Match options.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from Origin, and you can read its complete changelog below.

Titanfall 2 – A Glitch in the Frontier DLC Changelog:

NEW CONTENT

• New Map: Glitch
• New Live Fire Map: Deck
• New Faction: M.R.V.N.

New Featured Modes [we’ll be introducing these at different times in the near future]

• Glitch 24/7: Get a feel for the new map by playing a variety of modes on just the Glitch map
