Elite Dangerous: Taking Down a Titan: Tips and Tricks

Assaulting Thargoid Titans in Elite Dangerous has become more accessible with the removal of specialized equipment requirements, allowing players to earn rewards for participating in the final phase of the war. Players are advised to have a fast and cold-running ship, use specific weapons, and deal at least 2 million worth of damage to the Titan core within a week to be eligible for rewards.

Assaulting a Thargoid Titan has become easier with the removal of specialized equipment requirements and Thargoid glaive interdictions. Players can earn rewards like paintjobs, ship kits, decals, and ARX for participating in the final phase of the war, with 7 Titans still to be taken down in the Bubble. New weapons designed for use against Titans are available for purchase with in-game credits from rescue megaships, eliminating the need for unlocking Guardian weapons. It is advised to have a fast and cold-running ship engineered for heat management to navigate the challenges of assaulting a Titan.

When approaching a Titan, players will likely be hyper and interdicted by Thargoids, but these encounters can be evaded by boosting away quickly. The removal of the Glaive hunters’ interception has made the journey into Titan-occupied space smoother. Upon entering the Maelstrom surrounding the Titan, players must navigate through caustic damage and generators using caustic sinks and a Thargoid pulse neutraliser bound to fire groups. The neutraliser must be used strategically to counter the pulse wave effect as players move closer to the Titan.

During the assault on the Titan, players should utilize a long-range beam laser with thermal vent for cooling the ship and nanite torpedo launchers for attacking thermal exhaust ports. It is important to hit as many thermal ports as possible before they close and switch to attacking the thermal core when it appears. Players must stay outside the Torus magnetic field attack shape to avoid damage, then return to attacking the Titan’s core. To be eligible for rewards, players must deal at least 2 million worth of damage to the Titan core within a week before meltdown.

Community efforts are focused on weakening the systems around the Titan Leigong in preparation for a coordinated attack. Players can practice and prepare for the upcoming assault by following guides and tips provided by experienced commanders. Contributions to Titan takedowns are crucial for the ongoing war effort against the Thargoids, and players can engage in future Titan attacks to support the cause. Overall, players are encouraged to equip themselves with the necessary weapons, equipment, and tactics to effectively take down Titans and contribute to the war effort in Elite Dangerous.
