Update notes

## Titanfall: Assault 11/29/17 Update Notes

```
For Version 2.1.1 (Apple & Android).

```

### ASH (Legendary Pilot)

* Ash, a Simulacrum, uses a modified Vortex Shield that both blocks incoming damage and takes control of enemy Robotics (Spectres, Reapers). Killing Ash releases her control over enemies.

### CORE RONIN (Legendary Titan)

* Dual-wielding swords, Core Ronin phases to deploy into enemy territory, avoid enemy attacks, and execute Doomed Titans whenever her Core Ability is charged.

### BOOMTOWN (New Map)

* An IMC Dynamic Testing Facility, Boomtown is a simulated city, newly constructed for testing of IMC weapons and technology. The various buildings are connected by a network of ziplines, with Hardpoints clearly nestled near each player base. Reapers spawn partway through the match, instinctively fighting for both sides. Unlocks at Profile Level 14.

### GUILD MISSIONS

* Guild Missions are a new feature that run for a limited time (called “campaigns”). Through Guild Missions, you can earn XP for your units based on “missions” you launch and assist within your guild. To participate, you need to belong to a guild - the bigger the better! Once a campaign starts (keep an eye on NEWS for the first campaign), go to SOCIAL and select the “Guild Missions” tab. After a brief training you will be able to launch your own missions and assist those sent out by members of your guild. Completing missions improves your reward at the end of the campaign.
