Gemling Cross bow still by far my fav, then Werewolf.
But going over these patch notes making me so torn on what to do really.

@nori_pasta @PiggyKropotkinn yea thats why i said it is good, ik it's likely just a bandaid but i rlly hope they just go with a dedicated slots plus stat tuning, seeing some suggest nades require more squares but that just sounds miserable for low gear runs and doesnt fix how annoying and messy switching is
English
@4bid_3k @PiggyKropotkinn This was always an option, just half the amount of grenades
English
@PiggyKropotkinn a good solution imo would be to have a dedicated quick use slots above the backpack slot where u can arrange euipment how u please and equipment can go only there to prevent stacking, like 3 slots plus the in-use slot, less inv clutter, better control and less spam
English
@PiggyKropotkinn Good change but rlly hope this is jist a placeholder, pre-made trios can just have 1 guy hold util nades n other two fill their inv with frags, emps... to spam in a fight, also i just dont rlly like switching everytime an equipment is thrown considering how ass the radial menu is
English
@Duckness33 @PorkPoncho Is the spawn of biostock fill always there like the control one? n where do the empty one even spawn if u know?
English
@4bid_3k @PorkPoncho Or you can fill up empty coolant the spawn of Biostock or the center of Control

Okay Marathon players I'm going to need hard evidence that key based Matchmaking (In cryo specifically) isn't a myth because last weekend I was fairly certain but after 5 Cryo runs tonight I'm like 95% certain.
Did a vault 1 and 2 run, matches were good, loaded into lobbies in a few seconds at most.
Did 2 vault 6 runs (with my only 2 vault 6 keys I've found in 300 hours of play) and we noticed instantly matchmaking for both took well over 2 mins and we got completely rolled by death squads.
Did another lower key run and straight back into fast matchmaking times.
This combined with all of the stuff I was noticing last week it just seems like way too many coincidences.
@Skarrow9 and @RyGilliam I know you guys said you didn't believe it but is there any specific reason why?
English
@Duckness33 @PorkPoncho I can only do fills n so far ive only managed vault 1 bc it's all batteries, struggling with 2 bc of the coolant n cant a find a good guide on how to go about it if u dont find one in spawn zone, any tips? idek where they spawn to begin with tbh
English
@PorkPoncho I honestly do my vault requirements and head to the vault. I take the back routes and just go around the map using vents and alternate paths. We never go to control unless we know that there’s no other squads or final exfil. I’m 8/8 this weekend on vaults

@amberembr @Orion_UESC Yeah they rlly dont give a shit about solos my god, from this to some quests feeling near impossible, kinda sad, for me at least, i aint got anybody so it's all i can play
English
@IsaacSant133 @nBaMilkBoy @PiggyKropotkinn Yea i was scraping for green shields at this time, especially when most of my money is going to upgrades and my inv is prioritizing salvage, aint no way u can have the gear to run it more than once, tho the MM might allow for higher chance of success it's still rough
English
English
@nBaMilkBoy @PiggyKropotkinn Doesnt the map unlock at lvl 25 or smthin like that? forgot the exacts since im wayy past that point but just for reference, im lvl 106 n still far from maxed out or even have enough to buy stuff to consistanly run the map
English
@4bid_3k @PiggyKropotkinn how do people have the map unlocked if they’re struggling with having shit
English
@artificial0wl @MallowTheQueen Salvage requirements should be cut by at least 25% n imo they should replace some with just money instead of salvage like nucal's, some of these salvages are just too jarring and boring to get, 5 mins perimter queue just to get no action and 2 green drives is not fun bungie
English
@MallowTheQueen or hell just double the spawn rate of salvage and make materialist+ stuff more common and remove regular materialist
English
might be a hot take, but I genuinely think gold weapons and gear should be rarer than gold salvage, not the other way around like it is now
gold salvage is directly tied to upgrades and progression. gold gear can be earned entirely via faction barters and credits once VIP
English
@MallowTheQueen upgrades*, kinda killing my motivation to play as a solo player, idk how non cryo runners manage to get any of these bc holy shit gold salvage is wayy too rare n ive done multiple anomalys and countless master key room, defo needs tuning
English
@MallowTheQueen It's like weapon unlocks and lvling in cod or bf, it's not difficult more so time consuming, faction uogrades should be likewise, im nearing 160 hrs n only got 1 hazard n 1 alien n all i do is farm marsh m outpost, it's ridiculous considering how strong gold uogrades are
English
I hit 15 1v6s with shotguns on cryo today that entirely relied on people having WSTR instead of a misriah or a circuit breaker EXCLUSIVELY bc of how good those 2 shotguns are comparatively

UPDATE: WTF WSTRs We're gonna take a shot at bringing the WSTR more in line. Right now it's become a dominant option and is eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game. SOOOOOO... as of Tuesday 4/21 (likely 8AM PT) the WSTR will no longer be able to down an enemy player who has blue shields or above with two shots. The ideal is that in a majority of cases this will force a reload in scenarios where the target has a blue shield, allowing for some more counterplay in these scenarios. What Will Change: - Change will go live Tuesday 4/21 in the morning. Likely 8AM PT. - WSTRs can still down a green shielded target with 2 direct shots at short rang - WSTRs will no longer be able to down a blue and above shielded target with 2 shots at short range. We're still keeping an eye on a variety of balance issues. Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming and we'll keep hammering at it.

Most people on pc play at 40 fps
nik@niksurs
If @MarathonTheGame can somehow find a way to optimize Marathon to run at 120 FPS on console instead of 60, player counts would genuinely skyrocket imo, it’s a lose-lose between pc and console as pc offers a smoother experience but with cheaters and console offers a safer place to play legit but at 60 FPS in 2026. If console had a 120 FPS option Marathon would see a rise in players who would switch back just to have a fair chance and an even playing field.
English
@Ziegler_Dev it defo needed a nerf but i dont think dmg is the right move, Rate of fire and stability imo would be better to consider first considering what type of shotgun it is, blue and purple shields are quite common now so rooks are screwed, we'll see tho, keeping an open mind
