A very passionate Titanfall player and Reddit user by the name of DownTuClown has reached the maximum level in the recently released, first-person shooter, claiming the first “Generation 10 Pilot” title. According to DownTuClown, it took him 3 days, 9 hours and 5 minutes of playtime to achieve that feat. In Titanfall, reaching the final generation is similar to reaching Call of Duty’s maximum Prestige level. When you advance to the next Generation after that, your levels get reset and you lose everything you’ve unlocked, however, you earn XP at an accelerated rate of 350% when you respawn as a Generation 10 pilot.
DownTuClown took to Reddit to report his achievement and said the following:
“Most of the people I played with were individuals I met in random games. A couple of others are long time friends. There were less than a handful of times we communicated ‘seriously’. Those were mostly CTF games against people with clan tags we got matched up against. And some random times where we just wondered what it’d feel like to try and coordinate seriously. It was mostly just a group of guys talking about random stuff like latest episodes of The Walking Dead. So it was mostly individual skill I’d say.”
“My kill stats aren’t bad but I don’t feel they’re a good reflection of my skill which they would almost certainly be used for. I had to go out of my way to do certain challenges and those certainly affected my stats in a negative way. I played strictly to progress quickly rather than to have good stats.”
The lack of an in-game leaderboard makes it hard to investigate the claim but it’s reported that other Titanfall players are reaching the final rank as well. Respawn’s CEO, Vince Zampella, congratulated DownTuClown on Twitter:
Congrats @DownTuClown on gen 10! You are a madman!
