Too bad the first Titanfall patch is not one with any content updates; but hey it does show that Respawn Entertainment is really putting itself behind the game’s well being.
The Titanfall patch number one is a server and balancing update that will, most prominently, nerf the damage delivered by Smart Gun among numerous other tweaks to the game’s Xbox One and PC version. Another important change would be the visibility of the Electric Smoke which will now be more prominent when its dealing damage, so that there will be a better warning before hand.
Here are the patch notes that Respawn has shared through their official website:
