@JoyeuseAI I just posted about Recon kinda having an Identity crisis based on her in game "information broker" identity clashing with her ability/core description playstyle. x.com/Wiki_XIV/statu…

Six shells. Three of them show up in every match. Here's what each one actually does, including abilities, strengths, and how they rank for solo vs squad Some disagree on Recon. Do you think she needs a buff?

Here's a bunch of her cores for reference if you don't have them

Think of her like a Bounty Hunter/Predator and you'll play her much more effectively, from my experience, and she'll have a much more defined identity apart from the other shells with the "recon" role as a compliment to her true "hunter" role.

In regard to the #BuffRecon #Marathon convos: I think they made a mistake in naming the Recon shell. "Recon" implies "stealthy information gathering at a distance", usually. But, if you actually read Recon's abilities/the effects from her Cores, she's closer to a "Bounty Hunter"

@MarathonGG_ @NiftyN00b All of her ability descriptions and cores detail her as a "hunter" not a "recon" in the sense of intel gathering. She is meant to hunt down targets, not let them escape, and finish them off. Her bot is meant to be used IN an engagement to prevent your target from sprinting away.

@NiftyN00b I’d still say it’s use case isn’t optimized yet

Recon NEEDS a Buff in Marathon so BADLY #BuffRecon ❤️ Like if you agree! ✍️ Comment what buffs you think she needs & tell us why!

@xDevil_cod @pinglyadya How would that work? When you die, you're not respawning but a new helldivers is sent out in your place because we are expendable. A character with style and personality wouldn't work without maybe saying they are clones?

@pinglyadya I would really love if the game had actual characters at the least instead of randomized generic npcs

I want a single-player story or atleast more cinematic linear experiences than the tutorial. What little we got was immensely superb

We have a lot of convos around the game going right now, but one thing we've aligned on and will be doing for the next Cryo window is making Subroutines a 100% drop from each vault. Thanks for the feedback we'll keep hammering on more updates.

There is nothing like Marathon's Cryo Archive map pcgamer.com/games/fps/ther…

@NewtypeSeiji @StadiaTime Absolutely a drum mag and a stabilizing mod. Scopes are nice but not necessary if engaging at mid range.

@Wiki_XIV @StadiaTime Yea I’m assuming you at minimum need more mag size and then what? Something for stability?

I LOVE USING PROXY CHAT LMAO "The music was sick bro" (yes they can hear EVERYTHING) MARATHON X METAL GEAR

@LemonadeUpgrade @MacticsG1 While I love with Marathon, I can def see this perception. At least for Marathon, it helps me to think of the game like a roguelike. My current gear is just what I've earned on that "run". If I die, I just start back over and go again. Perm upgrades help raise the power floor too

The difference in challenge in marathon vs say elden ring , is the addition of pvp. Pvp adds a huge unpredictable factor and I'd argue is way more annoying to deal with. Plus add in it being an extraction shooter and not being able to just keep attempting from a save because your gear pool shrinks and keys to access vaults get lost. Plus you're relying on other players to be competent enough to help in your own squad. And it's time gated with rng elements to progress... A challenge in a singleplayer game is just more accessible than something like this

When did people start hating challenge in video games? I feel like back in the day challenge was seen as cool and fun and something many looked fondly at even if they themselves couldn’t beat it Now anytime something is hard its seen as unacceptable…

@N_ticx @MacticsG1 Are you referring to streamers? I'm a normal dude that just loves games but I love when theres challenge in them that pushes me to care about all the systems/gear/mechanics/etc that the game has available to overcome that challenge. That's what I enjoy in games but I'm not the 1%

Challenges in video games became a spectacle, any normal human being knows that reveling in the accomplishments of others is a waste of time. Challenges have continuously been catered to the 1%, normal people don’t like the 1%. It’s a pretty obvious reason, it’s not rocket science.

@giih______ @monsterhunter Gogmazios, the elder dragon

@monsterhunter Gog? the terraria thing?

Gog, I've seen what you've done for others...

@NewtypeSeiji @StadiaTime Gotta mod the fuck out of it to make it good. Base overrun is dog water

@StadiaTime GREAT clip but also unironically using overrun are you a masochist???

@PaulTassi All it takes is one thief drone with 3 claymores on it to catch them in a hallway then boom. Cryo loot is out in the normal players hands or gone for good if never looted.

reallllllly curious how the week will go with all these guys on the normal maps now compared to everyone else

@MarathonTheGame Found another of her cores straight up called "Hunter//Killer" lol Here's a bunch of her cores for reference if you don't have them

@MarathonTheGame Think of her like a Bounty Hunter/Predator and you'll play her much more effectively, from my experience, and she'll have a much more defined identity apart from the other shells.

Loot everything and everyone to acquire Thief cores. Then get back to looting.
