How To Rodeo Kill A Titan:

Step 1: To perform a Rodeo-kill, first have your Pilot jump onto the back of an enemy Titan.
Important: If the enemy Pilot turns on Electric Smoke (which gets unlocked at Pilot Level 12) you can simply jump off the Titan and jump back on again once the smoke has cleared.

Step 2: Pull open the panel on the Titan’s back, and begin shooting its back… ideally until it’s in the Doomed State and will explode as a result.
Optional: Have your Pilot reach Level 39 to unlock the Spitfire LMG weapon (with its large magazine extension), so you can shoot 80 rounds into the Titan’s back without having to reload.

Step 3: If in the middle of shooting the Titan’s back, the enemy Pilot inside makes a move to escape — as soon as the Pilot animation starts that indicates he/she is about to get out — then quickly throw a Satchel Charge onto the Titan’s panel!
Requirement: Have your Pilot reach Level 17 to unlock the Satchel Charge, which you can throw onto any surface to stick to it and then manually detonate it.

Step 4: Quickly jump off the enemy Titan now that the Pilot is about to leave and once you’re off quickly detonate the Satchel Charge on the panel to explode… killing the Pilot instantly! Now immediately jump back onto the remaining auto-Titan’s back to finish it off. Or alternatively you can stay at a distance and call in your Titanfall to drop right on top of the enemy Titan to kill it.
