It will throw off the enemy's direction, and confuse them enough to fire at the clones as you revive. The clones will appear with your teammate in the holograms.
Try combining this ability with your passive ability when attempting to revive a downed teammate.
Send decoys towards replicators and care packages when you're using/looting them, to reduce your chance of being shot if an enemy notices you.
They'll likely be briefly distracted by your decoy, giving you time to start shooting them.
Send a decoy into a room with an enemy and immediately follow.
Use this if there is an enemy sniper nearby.
If you hold a grenade while sending out your decoy, it will show a unique animation while running.
If you slide-jump, then while you're mid-air you send out your decoy, it will become extremely fast.
If you look up into the air without any barriers (trees, roofs, etc.) then your decoy will run in a straight line with no end until they reach cover.
Send a decoy towards a door to make an enemy on the other side think you're blocking it, then flank around them.
If your enemy is smart enough not to shoot decoys, act as a decoy to get behind them.
That way, enemies won't know which is which. Direct a decoy in one direction and then run in a straight line in a different direction or start controlling it.
The best way to fool smarter players is to act like you're the decoy.
Similarly, send them into thermite to locate the enemy who threw it.
Direct your decoys into Perimeter Security or Nox Gas to figure out where the Wattson or Caustic is.
If you're off on your own and suddenly start getting shot from a distance, put a decoy in front of you to instantly show your teammates where to shoot.
#When did titanfall 2 come out windows#
Have decoys stand in front of death boxes or front of windows with a sniper rifle since these are the most natural places for a player to stand completely still.
As the tactical is fast charging, always have your clones out.
The decoy can be controlled by pressing the utility action button (default H/ / ), and it will mimic Mirage's actions.
#When did titanfall 2 come out full#
This ability may be activated twice while skydiving from the dropship or jump towers, and if you are with your squad in flight it will send out a full decoy squad.
The decoy will also automatically vanish after 60 seconds or manually by deploying another decoy.
When a decoy vanishes from taking damage, it will output a "you got bamboozled" voice line from the decoy.
This icon appears for Mirage's whole squad, and also indicates distance.
The decoy has 45 HP, and an icon will appear indicating where the enemy that damaged it is.
Upon reaching the targeted location, the decoy stands still and performs the 'inspect weapon' animation unless the player takes control of it.
When spawned, the decoy will replicate whether Mirage was walking, running, or crouching, and if used in midair will have the same momentum as Mirage.
When used, a hologram duplicate of Mirage is sent in a straight line to wherever the real Mirage targeted.
