Remove Sun Flares
Preparation
Locate your game folder and find this folder if you are on Origin:
Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\
Or this folder if you are on Steam:
Steam\steamapps\common\Titanfall2\vpk\
Copy these files and paste them in a backup folder somewhere else:
englishclient_frontend.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk
client_frontend.bsp.pak000_000.vpk
For the next step you'll need the Titanfall VPK Tool, a program which allows you to open and repack Titanfall VPK files.
Unpacking
Now that these files have been backed up, navigate to your game folder and open this file:
Titanfall2\vpk\englishclient_frontend.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

Editing
Sun flares are blinding and they don't really add much to the game when they are this pronounced.
It also occurs on Relic, Rise, and Exoplanet, to name a few.
To remove the sun flares, once you have extracted the frontend vpk, navigate to the \particles
folder, and delete the following files:
env_sun_red_dwarf.pcf
env_sun_haven.pcf
env_sun.pcf
After you repack the vpk, you should be able to see without getting blinded.
Repacking

Rename pak000_000.vpk
to client_frontend.bsp.pak000_000.vpk
Rename pak000_dir.vpk
to englishclient_frontend.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk
Place the renamed files back into your game directory, and you will be able to see your results!
