The Electric Smoke Grenade is a Pilot Ordnance in Titanfall 2. It functions as a grenade-deployed version of the Electric Smoke used by Titans. However, it has a much smaller radius and does not do as much damage as its bigger brother.
Strategies[]
Apart from radiating electricity and damaging anyone or anything standing inside it as a form of area denial, the electric smoke grenade can be used similarly to a conventional smoke grenade - use it to obscure enemy vision so you can safely move about without being exposed to enemy sightlines. Aside from conventional uses, there are some useful but niche strategies one can employ with the ESG:
- When thrown down while having the Threat Scope or Pulse Blade equipped, you can essentially create your own one-way vision (Similar to how Smoke Grenades and IRNV worked in Battlefield 4)
- Try using the grenade against people camping with A-Wall. It will force them out of position or, at the very least, reduce their vision.
- Use the ESG in Bounty Hunt and Attrition to farm points by deploying it on newly-spawned Drop Pods. Farm Grunts and Spectres easily.
