Respawn's latest batch of "Titanfall 2" updates arrives next week, bringing with it a fan favorite map from the original "Titanfall" and a whole lot of new customizations for the Titans.
Polygon reports that those who preordered "Titanfall 2" will be able to get the multiplayer map Angel City from the first "Titanfall." But to those who didn't preorder will get it on Dec. 3. The multiplayer map is part of the larger multiplayer content drop called "Angel City's Most Wanted," which includes a Wingman Elite Pistol for pilots, a new kit for each of the six titans and a new pilot execution.
The aforementioned content is made to be free for everyone, but Respawn is also planning to sell "new skins, camo and Prime Titans if you want for a modest price" in the new in-game store coming alongside the "Angel City" DLC. But, of course, the company still would want to stick to its principles that their gameplay comes first than trying sell them off for money.
We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and that's it," said Respawn. "These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic. We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts."
PC Games N also covered the list of free stuff players can obtain:
§ Fans that pre-ordered Titanfall 2 will get access to the Angel City map starting on November 30. All other players will get access to the Angel City map starting on December 3.

The developer also announced its plans for "Titanfall 2" for the remainder of the year. Some of these include double XP weekends and new "game mode twists."
"Changing things up and trying out new ways to play is a big part of how we work here at Respawn," said the developer. "We're carrying that philosophy over to multiplayer with semi-regular events that will change up rule sets on certain games, giving them a "twist" to how you might normally play them. Changes like these force players (and ourselves) to look at the game differently and try some things you may never have tried before."
As more plans like more maps and weapons have already been laid out by Respawn, which will be revealed in 2017.
