@ARCRaidersGame 🥱

Someone forgot to close the Stella Montis doors on their way out... Check your corners, the Flashpoint Update drops next week! 😱

@PR0JECTWeeb @GSXRCLYDE Problem solved.

@GSXRCLYDE I think give the raids +10 more mins, and make the chips 100% spawn

Cryo Archive is an amazing map. One of the toughest maps I've ever seen. But why make the AI chips RNG? Kinda kills the vibe. Then make a boss that only top 1% players can do in time. Definitely a gamble. I feel like most players will just ignore the vaults and boss.

This... So many games lately are coddling players with AI "opponents" and dumbed down "for everyone" gameplay 😴 Marathon is for gamers who pride themselves in overcoming extreme challenges. The gameplay is brutal, but the payoff is unmatched.

@solgob_ Yeah I just happen to have 3 weeks off during launch. I played the hell outta Marathon. Lv90+.This will prob be as far as I get in any season moving forward as this 3 week window will not pop up again. Father of 2, Husband, Full Timer. Would ❤️ to play all day. Not gonna happen.

Marathon from the viewpoint of a competitive-spirited gamer that is older: Marathon is a very good game. I don’t consider myself a “sweat” these days but I have competed in shooters at a high level my entire life, always reaching the top ranks in games like Halo, StarCraft, Warcraft 3, CS, League of Legends and Apex. As well as attending LAN tournies in a few of those games. (Also currently loving Deadlock) I would have been absolutely in love with Marathon as a young fellow with more time to spare, as some of you probably are. I’m 35 now, on top of all of my responsibilities, I have like two hours a day on average to play video games. Some days, zero. And the following point is why Marathon will never be huge and might actually suffer greatly and ween off. Which genuinely makes me sad. It is simply too time consuming and unforgiving. I can’t even imagine trying to play this game as someone who isn’t inherently talented at shooters but still plays them for fun. It’s probably so brutal that it simply isn’t worth your time. While Cryo Archive is SO sick, it is a perfect example of this. I guess I’m just worried that one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played is going to suffer from the thing that also makes it so cool. 😂 I would love to be wrong and for Marathon to go on and gain a larger playerbase and keep releasing badass content for years.

@staycationtg Effective it is indeed

After 10 hours of Cryo, I need therapy. The map is incredible, the puzzles and mysteries overwhelm in the best way possible, I LOVE that everyone you fight has the GOOP. My wallet and Vault are absolutely rinsed. I always complain about stash space, this solution was effective.

@Mapocolops No one reading all that bro 👏🏻

Honestly, true. Long winded but passionate, constructive rant ahead: It’s a mixture of skill issue but also time available. We can watch the unemployed and the full time streamers experience this stuff so easily but for everyone else, this is tough. It’s cool as hell but tough. First impressions on Cryo is that I can’t stop thinking about it and Bungie deserve massive props. I love this game to pieces and heavily enjoy the idea of preparing for a weekend raid on the Marathon with acquired loot. But the amount of steps, keys, RNG, chaos of sweaty runners…in only 30 MINUTES! And then only for the weekend! I get a feeling this will filter out so many people leaving only the best of the best runners to be a brick wall for new runners trying to finish it. Would love if it was an hour long session maybe. I’m conflicted because I absolutely love the concept of this challenge mixed with a raid like experience, Bungie have essentially given us FPS Dark Souls and a dedicated hardcore experience. But I can’t help but think about a middle ground that is still punishing but more accessible at the same time. If it’s hard and I lose my loot I am cool with that, I just want more people to be able to reach the boss and exfil the map. Maybe some form of “Cryo (story)” queue for lack of a better term that has intentionally worse loot but is “easier” to complete for those of us wanting to experience the story, unlock codex entries, fight a cool PvE boss and feel a part of the event successfully. Idk. I think the game needs more people to be able to play it and complete stuff and not less, for the game to continue to succeed in terms of a player base. A dedicated passionate community like this deserves to grow even bigger. (Why I also think arena PvP and PvE modes are a good idea to populate the game with even more people that wouldn’t play an extraction shooter.) I can love this game, play it daily and still not touch that Compiler for maybe a couple months or ever and then the seasonal reset and FOMO with potential story/map changes are gonna upset me, which feels unfortunate. I’ll be trying my best to get there but doing so much in only a 30 minute timespan is brutal. And I LOVE Destiny raids, so the goblin brain is irrationally wishing this was a PvE raid in the game because the mechanics, the map, the whole fucking atmosphere of this map ROCKS and I wish more people could experience it (same with Destiny raids but y’know, can of worms). I’m obsessed and want to spend more time exploring it but with a constant threat of 5k min loadout wipes and a skill ceiling that requires me to become a full time astronaut to reach…it stings that even people loving the game this much will even struggle heavily to reach the endgame. TLDR; Bungie make cool hard game and I wish I had a hyperbolic time chamber to be top tier, hope to see a middle ground to balance challenge but also accessibility for the community. Also Ben Starr is sexy I mean Durandal knows how to set the scene. Maybe I’ll change my mind over time but this is day one thoughts. @MarathonDevTeam @Ziegler_Dev #marathontakeover #focusedfeedback

@MarathonGG_ Tough to Bungie is make a lot of noise killing stuff in a tight area so that every team converges on the other team. Seems counterintuitive to how the rest of the maps play out. Hard is having to shoot UESC to get stuff to drop to access more of the map. It’s a no from me.

What are everyone’s thoughts on Cryo Archive so far 🤔 Let us know down below 👇

@staycationtg Idk if they cooked. Killing bots to get sec keys is kinda whack for a game like this.

CRYO HAS MY STRESS LEVELS GOING THROUGH THE ROOF IM GONNA CRY LMAO

@kruzer struggling to find the "why" to go into the Cryo Archive already? not trolling

First run in Cryo Archive 😭😭😭

@Gladd @KableKompany Holy shit

@KableKompany I’m just starting and trying them for the first time today. Any tips?

4 YEARS METH AND HEROIN FREE TODAY IM A GOD

@AngryArcRaider @ARCRaidersGame Game sucks. PVE over PVP was their death sentence for this games longevity. If it wasn’t for the wipe it would be down way more players than it’s down. PVE Larry’s will burn out and that game will fade into obscurity.

@ARCRaidersGame Like I don't want to hate on you guys but you do it to yourself. You're giving us EVERYTHING we don't want. Your grand ideas are new map conditions, 1v3 (which NOBODY plays), 2 new Arc that doesn't change anything just makes us more annoyed. Hint - give us something to play for.

Truth is scarce and rumors spread. The Flashpoint is coming. 31.03.26

@ARCRaidersGame Zzz

@MarathonArchive hes lying. FortNite is the most colorful shooter outs, till this day.

Ninja explains why he will continue to stream Arc Raiders instead of Marathon

@staycationtg Anyone tell me how the WSTR feels now? Bully/WSTR was my favorite Assassin build.

More stash space, Cryo archive added, Thief extract griefinng fixed, mods can be dragged off weapons now, WSTR shotgun nerfed. The patch notes could have ended here and I would have been happy 😂 W MARATHON UPDATE!!

@schadjoe A draft that actually matters 2-3 years from now.

Miami Dolphins fans: What are you hoping to see in 2026?

You Probably Don’t Meet The ‘Marathon’ Cryo Archive Access Requirements via @forbes forbes.com/sites/paultass…

We gathered some thoughts from people who've played Marathon. Here's what they had to say.

Alright everyone we're going a bit rogue here. We have a bit of an experimental feature that's in development we want to test and we'd love for you to help. As of Wednesday morning 3/18 at 10am PT, we'll be enabling a limited time duos queue on Perimeter only to test how the game plays with crews of 2 at a wider scale. Important things to note: -- It will be on Perimeter only for now. -- The test will last about 2 weeks (but we might cut it off early or elongate it depending on what's going on). -- You can only enter duos with a premade group of you and another friend. (no matchmaking solo into duos). -- You will be matched with other duos only. -- You can select "Perimeter - Duo" from the zone select screen to access it. (not the final intended ux flow right now) -- Some things will be a bit jank. Just a note: this is a bit of an experimental feature so we expect to learn some things along the way and make changes to future versions of this. This likely won't be the final implementation of how it would look and flow in the game, but for now it was easiest way for us to get it to you all to help us test. We're excited to run this experiment with you all. Pending what we learn, we're hoping to expand duos as a queue in the future and we wanted to take this first step sooner than later so we could understand how it affects our game better before investing a lot more time in fleshing out the feature. Additionally, this is unlikely to be the last experiment we run, so look forward to more as we continue to evolve Marathon. FOR SCIENCE!
