I didn't put Frontier Defence in with the other game modes area because of how big it is. It is a whole new side to the game which instead of being pvp like the rest of the game, it is pve meaning that it is you and 3 other players vs waves of enemies and it can get very intense. The aim of game is to protect something called the harvester which will be marked on your map from a series of incoming waves of grunts, readers and titans all trying to kill you and destroy the harvester. You don't lose from dying but instead have to be dropped onto the battlefield on a plane which wastes time for you and your team. The waves do get harder as you go along. Although you do earn money which allows you to buy upgrades, traps and turrets to help defend the harvester, so there is a big aspect of working as a team and lending each other money to buy a new battery for their titan or helping an ally get amped weapons. This is almost a whole new way to play the game as things that were not as useful in the fast paced multiplayer are actually a lot better here. For example things like a sonar are not really useful here as all the enemies are on the radar anyway, so there isn't much point. Electric smoke is good for clearing out a group of enemies because you can drop it on them and leave and it will most likely kill them. The grapple is also a lot more useful in this mode as there will be a lot of titans so you can easily rodeo them with a grapple. Although you will probably be in a titan for most of this as you get it at the end of wave 1 and it doesn't take too long to charge. Titans work very differently from pvp as they have a new ranking system and upgrades. You still keep everything on your titan from other modes but there are upgrades you can earn for your titans for only this mode. The ranks are called Aegis rank and you can go up to Aegis rank 20 on each titan which will give them give them major upgrades for their abilities and weapons. For example usually Scorch only has 1 shot with his weapon before he has to reload but with his first upgrade he gets another shot, so he can fire two shots before needing to reload. Also initially you will have easy and normal mode unlocked for Frontier Defence but you can only unlock the other two by using a using an Aegis rank 5 titan for hard mode and an Aegis rank 11 titan for hard-core mode.
