Stim is a PilotTactical Ability that appears in Titanfall and Titanfall 2. It allows for a temporary boost to Pilot speed and doubles the pilot's health regeneration. This ability is handy for pilots who like to traverse the map quickly or find themselves injured often. In Apex Legends, the Legend Octane utilizes a Stim, which decreases health in exchange for a speed boost.
Stim increases the pilot's movement speed by 35%, doubles their regeneration rate and halves the amount of time before regeneration occurs. The ability lasts for 5 seconds (10 with Smuggled Stimulant, or until death with Adrenaline Transfusion). The ability has a cooldown of 16.66 seconds, which can be redcued to 11.11 seconds with Power Cell.
Stim allows faster map traversal and reduces the risk posed by injury, incentivising more dangerous strategies both offensive and defensive.
Titanfall 2[]
Stim users in Titanfall 2 appear as Simulacrums, alongside Phase Shift pilots. Their Stim ability massively increases the user's movement speed and doubles their health regeneration. Unlike in Titanfall, a Stim user has a very identifiable blue trail following their body to allow for easier identification of the ability.
In Titanfall 2, Stim works best with a close-range weapon with the Gunrunner attachment. It also pairs well with the Smart Pistol for easier dodging while locking targets.
Reflexive use allows pilots to quickly evade enemy fire and recover health.
The speed boost from Stim combines with that of wall running, and can be used to launch into a Slide Hop at breakneck speeds, or chain wall runs together.
Stim is best used on urban or thickly covered maps.
Skilled pilots can use the movement system and stim in conjuction for massive flanks during the start of a match.
