@casualblu3 literally stop using your vault stuff and just free kit and roll over when you exfil. Also, Rook exists and is the BEST way to get a good kit fast. Disagree with your complaints at every turn.

Marathon solo is as incredible as it is exhausting. Back to back to back to back zero progress runs suck. You die, fail your "and exfil" objective, achieve only a lighter vault and ultimately backwards meta progress. Repeating of course. Arc Raiders does some very clever things to avoid this issue. Not that Marathon should just copy everything from arc and sand down all the edges. I really think Bungie could alleviate this by letting us run 1 or 2 side contracts along side a priority contract, so even if you die you are still more likely to make some form of progress. But idk how else you could address this? It's just too deflating and feelsbadman.jpg.

@KingRichard Richard, you are more competent than this. You do not need a safe pocket in this game. Just extract. And if not, try again. Its a hardcore extraction shooter, not a babysitting service.

Marathon went a little too hardcore and it was one of its biggest mistakes. One thing that should have never happened is releasing a hardcore extraction shooter with no form of a safe pocket. No other game in the genre has done it. With all the hate and things working against it they should not have attempted to reinvent the wheel. I promise you if they had some form of safe pocket its outcome would be different. In this day and age where everyone cheats and exploits because they suck and hate losing you have to have a way for people to get wins even in their loses. If I was @MarathonDevTeam I would implement a safe pocket immediately for season 2

@loudshotace @cin_Aamon @paul4ner I have crossplay on. Slam constantly. play with PC players nearly 100% of the time.

@bryceauthor @cin_Aamon @paul4ner Key words “I am on console”

what are people considering high level in marathon?

@Geezaws2 respectfully, you had so many moves you could have made, specifically with that bubble shield in your pocket, and instead you popped ult, healed shield twice, and cornered yourself in an inescapable room. use that vandal slide and escape, bubble behind yourself and run. but no…

@cin_Aamon @paul4ner no. improve. I am on console and have great cryo runs all the time, fill and with friends.

@paul4ner 70-100 is high, 100+ is eternal punishment until season ends

@MallowTheQueen you just admitted it was a free kit, so the risk was nothing. you risked nothing and got nothing. it was a perfect 1:1 ratio.

I keep going on about it, but it is constantly bugging me Did a free kit run on Perimeter today. Wiped a squad, killed boss, did Supply Drop, did Valuable Safe, did Secured Resource. The loot earned did not reflect the effort or the risk. I love the map, but this is ridiculous

@SwiftSTB @MarathonTheGame no

imagine if @MarathonTheGame had a Gold “Buildpack” save your full loadout (weapons, cores, implants, ammo, heals, etc). store it in the bag and instantly rebuild after a wipe! Save vault space, save time. No extras though (2 weapons max, etc). make super rare, though!

@ohiojesustwink Jennifer Lawerence as Erika Kirk

I’m having difficulty casting the Charlie Kirk biopic. This is what I’ve got so far. Let me know if you have any ideas for the gaps

@staycationtg wrong about effectiveness sub 10k in Cryo

I think gear value requirements should be implemented accordingly across all Marathon maps. Half of the game becomes unplayable in terms of productivity once endgame. Nobody is effective in Cryo under 10k, Outpost should be 5k, Darsh & Perim include free kits and have a gear cap.

@xHOUNDISHx Sorry to hear this, but my fills are always awesome. Had some amazing runs with some really cool dudes! Keep trying

Crew fill morale is none existent. Nobody talks, I drop gear from my overflowing vault and free kit folks don't even pick it up. Its like an acceptance that we're all just here to be killed lmao. Also, these are players level 100+ ..

@MrBeast Forget all other arguments- you DO NOT want to live on a planet with only people who pressed the red button.

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

@gomyhealngdrone arms lockers. try a thief run and learn spawns all throughout Outpost pinwheel and cryo archive… they spawn sometimes

whats the method to stock up on misriahs i feel like they barely drop even from key rooms, is it just kill people with them?

@Geezaws2 I too have close to 200hours. I like the vibe of the game + the gunplay. It feels good to play and having good guns and equipment actually rewards you. Even on console, I find myself consistently winning fights and enjoying the experience. The aesthetic is top tier as well.

I have 200 hours and that’s a *lot* for *me*, it has exceeded my expectations, i don’t think i’ve ever put 200 hours into a game this fast. I love this game to bits and pieces. It’s not perfect, but its baseline is so good that even at its worst it’s one of the best FPS OAT imo.

@paul4ner when I rekit, I usually just bring a Bully and then loot for second gun, not else needed for bot clear phase… and as for meta, I really hope Bungie starts buffing guns rather than nerfing. it would be better if more guns became viable w/o needing gold mods

seen so many people only bring in one weapon into cryo, the meta is so fucked

@Pijinnn_ I think heat buildup for throwing nades would solve it, just needs to be tuned right so they are still usable but not in excess

Ideas for balancing equipment in Marathon as it'd became an obnoxious spam meta. Cooldown / heat cost - can't throw at certain heat level or timer between throwing Fragile - make all throwables fragile when you load in with them (reduces overall uptime during the run) Drop rates - Cryo drip rates could be tuned or rarities adjusted Locked slot - you have a dedicated throwable slot and only here you can slot or carry throwables. Anything picked up mid run can't occupy this slot Not sure what else

@GuapoGary_ that 38k Misriah is a flex

ready for ranked ✅

@PorkPoncho doubtful. more than likely just self-induced misperception of the queue parameters due to fear of losing gear and keys.

I know all the Marathon pros are posting clips of them melting compilers in less than 60 seconds etc but I finally managed to exfil a compiler trace and it feels good man. Cryo felt weird this weekend, great runs when we went in with Vault 1 or 2 keys, good fights, even the ones we lost we felt were fun and fair. Then when we tried our 2 vault 5 keys it was a whole different ball game....starting to make me think there some sort of key based matchmaking if I'm honest?

@chi_is_a_mess I commend your excitement for literal POOP ! gun is ahhhh

WE'RE SO BACK GANG

@MarathonGG_ Cryo is awesome! Here is my “method” for minimizing loot loss and maximizing stacking. First, hit a rook run on Outpost. Find a Matter Fixative and try to get a Bully, Volley, etc to pair with your WSTR. Upon exiling, supplement your now decent kit with a purchasable blue shield.

Cryo Archive has been out in Marathon for little over a month. With the mid season patch & everything else, what are your thoughts on this map right now? 🤔 Let us know down below & lets discuss 👇

@TheSnazzzyRock respectfully, why would you go up there? Yes, grenade spam is bad, but so is backing into a corner when there are so many routes you could hit instead

Nerf nade damage/radius and only allow a max of like 4 total nades/bubbles or whatever to be held at once. This is not ok bro lmfao. Cryo this weekend has been pretty rough for a lot of teams ive noticed. Ive talked bout this before early into the game and still feel the same way. Genuinely just want a good meta to play in. I understand positioning n what not makes a lot of these scenarios but also throwing 16 frags is 1000% NOT OK
