Titanfall

Ride 'Em Cowboy



To jump on a titan (Rodeo them) you have to get close to them and jump on them with the A button. Once you are on them you can shoot the hell out of the wiring and it will go into doom mode, you will unlock the achievement after the match has finished.

Note: Sidewinder anti-titan weapon will kill you (or any anti-titan weapon) if you try to use that while shooting the wires.

According to peoples responses, it must be a manned titan, and they cannot eject, if they eject you will not get the achievement.

Have fun and Good luck!

I had a pretty tough time getting this, since every pilot immediately jumps out right when you jump on.

Here are some general tips:
1. I wouldn't worry about this achievement until you unlock the Spitfire LMG at level 39. That gun makes it WAY easier because of the large ammo capacity of the gun, so you wont have to reload as often, AND.....

2. If you kill 15 pilots with the LMG, you unlock the "Slammer" attachment, which does more damage to rodeo'd titans. This makes it a LOT easier to dispatch them quickly.

3. You have to ensure the pilot doesnt eject or get out (auto-titans dont count). I recommend finding an enemy titan who is already engaged in combat with other titans... preferably outnumbered. They'll usually be too busy to notice or care, since they're probably going to die anyway and jumping out would mean instant death. Use your Cloak to approach the fight.

4. Watch out for titans with the red glowy shield on their backs. These cannot be rodeo'd and you'll usually end up getting "stepped on" when trying to jump at them.

5. If you're having trouble with people jumping out, try jumping on a titan's back, tearing off the plate, then jumping off. Subsequent rodeos on that titan will skip the plate tearing animation and you get right into shooting it immediately.

If you get the final shot in to "doom" the titan, you'll get the "Brain Surgeon" challenge complete. That means success, even if the achievement doesn't pop right away. It should pop at the end of the round... though mine didn't pop until midway through the next game.

This can be done at any point. The trick is to jump onto the back of a Titan and once the animation of ripping the back plate off is done, you then need to fire into the spot. Once the health is depleted and the explosion countdown started jump off the back.

Simple - Just double jump onto the back of a titan, and after the short animation of ripping a metal plate off, unload your primary or secondary metal into the wires to quickly chew off a titans health. Once the titan is doomed, the chievo should pop at the end of the game.

NOTE - Many human controlled titans, when noticed they are being rodeo'd will jump out their titan and attempt to shoot you off the back, so be prepared to quickly jump back off the titan and kill the opposing pilot on the ground. Then you have a much easier rodeo kill on an auto-titan.
