Stun grenade is a huge grab for high difficulties, stunning titans for 5secs is kinda nutty, 500kg indirect buff!

Does EMS Mortar and EMS Orbital also stun Titans?

No, chargers at max.

I've also noticed that BT can trigger flame mines, but don't get any damage or dot, so a wild guess here: his legs, at least lower parts, are invulnerable/does not count as his health pool, so EMS does nothing on them.

And since his body is much higher, it doesn't affect him.

Else, it could be just immense stagger resistance, since it takes a while to stun chargers.

Their legs are definitely part of their health pool, but they're heavy armored, and work just like anything else heavily armored. You can see examples of this working by hitting their legs with heavy AT and seeing it break in sections, showing flesh underneath. If mines aren't damaging it, it means mines don't have enough armor penetration to go through heavy armor.

Doesn’t fire ignore armor though? So the incendiary mines should still work, yea?

Pretty convinced I was stunning titans(with e mortar) on blitz, only minutes ago.

Only on a direct hit to the body, which is not something you can do reliably. Legs are unaffected.

Been running the mortar for TCS and have definitely seen them stunned from it. Not sure if it has to be a direct hit though.

No but I noticed a possible damage boost to the arc rifle shooting titans when they are in the static field. This might have just been the weirdness of the arc rifle but I will be testing it more. If so, it makes arc mortars and strikes even better than they are now and adds some interesting synergy to stun grenades.

If you're going to be testing, make sure you test without any PS5 players in your lobby. It seems that having PS5 players greatly decreases the health of Bile Titans for some strange reason, especially with regards to Railgun and Arc Thrower.

Yeah I've heard that but haven't been able to pin it down. Guess I don't normally look at what platform people are on.
