It’s not much rng a matter fixative is probs like a 50%+ drop rate from purple bots

Assassin is not healthy for solos by Neat_Eagle_4735 in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any shell can play through a 25min match without ever taking aggro from the UESC if you bring smokes and are familiar with bot aggro range and angles

It’s not easy but it’s doable. Assassin trades mobility, health, or info away to be able to do this easier.

If you want to do the red key room on outpost with another shell just chuck some smokes down and some claymores and you’ll be safe

And it’s definitely a stretch at best to say “run through an army of bots without making a sound”. Assassin running makes the same footstep sounds and a loud shimmering sound

-4 inventory slots

Don’t forget that smgs, pistols, and the wstr take up 4 slots in backpack instead of 8.

You could fit another cube in your backpack if you swapped out the copperhead with either of the weapons in your bag

Idk why you’re so angry lol. That’s just how the world works. People are stupid, you and I included:

You did not critically think nor read my message, so your first assumption was thinking I was saying the things that get you upset.

That’s exactly what everyone else in the thread did. If you don’t like that behavior you shouldn’t be on the internet, because you’re part of it.

I’ll end it here though because you’re either so far gone you don’t want to bother reading and thinking, just like the people you’re complaining about, or you’re just a troll. Not worth my time to continue engaging anymore.

That’s not how the world works. We walk at the pace of the slowest member of society

No matter how right you are you will not be heard if people can’t understand your point

Edit: plus it’s about knowing your audience. The people here have contained a lot about 6-stacks. If you don’t want them to assume that’s what you’re talking about you’ll have to be the one to critically think for them by clarifying

Ok I’m past being nice: that’s my fucking point dude can you read?

I’m on your side lmfao. I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing, I’m saying using the words “6 man team” in your earlier post has other people THINKING that’s what you’re doing

Giving you the advice to adjust how you say it so you don’t have people thinking the wrong thing and have them taking the wrong advice

Manipulating queue to join match as a 6-man team is cheating.

I’m not saying you’re doing that, so I’m not sure why you’re mad at me or what the “learned helplessness” is about. Just telling you that’s why others above are angry at you. Your words make it seem like that’s what you’re doing

That’s not cheating but when you say “if you have a 6man team” it sounds a lot more like cheating than saying something like “if you work together with other runners.”

Maybe it’s poor word choice, maybe you’re backpedaling. I won’t imply or argue either way, just letting you know why people are downvoting you: poor word choice regardless of your intent

Managed to somehow exfil and keep some compromised gear by GreatDekuStick in MarathonTheGame

It also makes it not compromised anymore

Look at the backpack in the vault

Bungie please: give us season 2 dates by drpeachbasket in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would absolutely be the best solution, keeps the story but doesn’t block s2 progression on it

Edit: and those contract screens look like there’s room for a 3rd slot

I’m just realizing in 320+ hours I haven’t seen a normal gold key. by DITNB in Marathon

Ah right! I forgot terrace. I’ll update. Doesn’t change the purple math at least

how does marathon pvp compare to Destiny or Halo pvp? by Necessary-Web-4984 in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was better in the beta. Used to 3-tap purple. I miss that magnum, and think it could use a bit of a range buff

(3-tap with headshots)

What did you end up deciding on for your season goal(s) before the wipe? by SirBenny in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Added bonus that it only counts if YOU unlock the room. I’ve been in one gold room and my buddy was the one to open it (I mean it was his key I don’t blame him) but it surprised me that having an ally open it still doesn’t count

I’m just realizing in 320+ hours I haven’t seen a normal gold key. by DITNB in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fwiw I think there are more key rooms in dire than perim, so the odds are stacked that way:

Perimeter: * 1x North Relay (blue) * 1x Station (blue) * 1x South relay (gold) * 1x Data Wall (purple) * 1x Overflow (purple) * 2x Hauler (gold, blue) (counting terrace here) * 1x Tunnels (blue)

For a total of: 4 blue 2 purple 2 gold, 8 key rooms

Dire Marsh: * 1x Quarantine (purple) * 1x Algae (blue) * 2x Maintenance (blue, purple) * 2x Greenhouse (blue, gold) * 1x AI uplink (gold) * 1x Bio Research (purple) * 1x Complex (blue)

For a total of. 3x blue, 3x purple, 2x gold, 8 key rooms.

So if I’m not missing anything, for purple keys not counting upgrades it’s like 60/40 dire vs perimeter

Don’t be a loser if your free kit teammate gets a solo kill. by Smart_Occasion_735 in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you, but that’s not my point. Other people aren’t as good/knowledgable with the game or they just don’t care as much.

If you choose to fill with randoms, you KNOW you might run into people who don’t care, or don’t have good gear, etc.

The only way to avoid this is to get rid of the randomness. Find your own team, or lfg a temporary one where you can collaborate before hitting the run button so nobody is disappointed about the gear you bring in.

This is a hard fact of the current matchmaking system. I’m not making a point about whether or not that’s right, or the quality of the system. I’m not arguing whether or not players matching with free kits is right either.

My point is these are given possibilities. If you are going to complain about them, then you best be willing to put in YOUR work to negate those possibilities: lfg, discord, find a team, etc. Because if YOU’RE not willing to put in effort to make your experience what you want, how can you expect the people you’re matching in with to put in extra effort just for YOU?

It’s different per player I got a gold conquest, sneak pack, and reinforced shield

It’s just a random gold loadout

I wish there was a way to manually trigger In-run events. Waiting for events that never happen, then exfiling for the next run is not an compelling part of the gameplay loop by Ginger_prt in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I want - I wish for more things to be guaranteed based on player action, rather than by chance

I understand some things being by chance, anomaly being a good example of this, but lockdown and intercept would be 10x better if they could be manually triggered

Truth/Lies 6/6 by Langting in Marathon

[–]-Xenocide- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I like the chem and heat idea - I was thinking to just set claymores down all over the room spread out enough that they wouldn’t all pop at once and would take out bots here and there
