Models - Pilot class

Guide to swap pilot models

Note: Changing pilot models may result in broken animations or even crashes. However, changing arm models works perfectly fine on any tactical.

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_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

  • client_mp_common.bsp.pak000_000.vpk

You will need the Titanfall VPK Tool, the program which will allow you to open and repack Titanfall VPK files. Here

Unpacking

Now that these files have been backed up and everything installed. Navigate to your game folder and open this file:

Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

Editing

To change pilot class models go to this directory:

models\humans\pilots

If you want to change the look of the arms, you can go to:

models\weapons\arms

To change the pilot class you want, first off find the file linked to this class. Then choose the class you want and duplicate them. Then just rename the duplicated files into the name of the class you wanted to change.

The files in the folder have different names that correspond to their pilot classes:

  • pilot_light_jester = Stim

  • pilot_light_ged = Phase Shift

  • pilot_medium_stalker = Holo Pilot

  • pilot_medium_reaper = Pulse Blade

  • pilot_medium_geist = Grapple

  • pilot_heavy_roog = A-Wall

  • pilot_heavy_drex = Cloak

The f & m at the end of the files correspond to the female and male versions of each pilot class.

Repacking

How to repack VPK files properly?

After following step by step the previous link

Rename pak000_000.vpk to client_mp_common.bsp.pak000_000.vpk

Rename pak000_dir.vpk to englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

Place both of the renamed files back into your game directory and then launch Titanfall 2. You should be able to see your changes!
