Sorry, Titanfall fans. The Smart Pistol isn’t going anywhere as it will make its return in Titanfall 2.

Titanfall 2 game director Steve Fukuda spoke with us during E3 last week to chat about changes his team will make to the sequel’s multiplayer game modes. While many original Titanfall players were hoping the plans for the Smart Pistol would be crushed by a giant mech, Fukuda reveals the controversial weapon will be making a return in Titanfall 2.

“We are going to be bringing back the Smart Pistol, but different,” he tells us during our interview. “[We know] that’s what received a lot of negative feedback, and we’ve been working on that to make sure that it is a more balanced experience for all players.”

Fukuda also mentions his team is taking all player feedback into consideration, although it appears not enough of us have been complaining about the Smart Pistol to warrant its removal. Hopefully its tweaks will cause it to feel less overpowered than other weapons in our soldier’s arsenal.
