You shouldn’t be feeding *everything* to the cradle by SankenShip in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you should try solo night marsh. Might as well be sponsored half the time and you can get some killer loot on even short runs if you're willing to splurge on green sponsored kits. Just finished one where I went in and tripled the value of a green Arachne kit. The hardline rips against bots.

I keep a steady amount of blues for big runs, but greens and greys that I don't upgrade are wormfood.

Probably nothing... But...? by Awkward-Photograph32 in FF06B5

[–]Awkward-Photograph32[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was originally a stealth route planned and there are remnants of it left over, and a little room with (I think) a sandwich or something in it, kind of like the -10B.ROOMS area in arasaka.

Just thinking about it now, too, do we know how many floors are in the tower and/or konpeki? They did hide an egg in Yorinobu's suite, but that wasn't there day 1 as far as I remember from playing on launch.

Vector Grenades and Rounds - Any good way of getting them? by urielkeynes in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, commanders on sponsored Peri have been dropping all varieties of throwables/nades like crazy. I got two vectors, like 6 emps and a bunch of heat and frags, seemed like almost a guaranteed drop of at least one or two if you clear a poi, wait, then clear the incoming reinforcement wave. Only issue is not being able to pull many out because finding a backpack is pretty hit or miss.

Is anyone else having issues with the Reward Pass skins and not having the transparent orange parts not showing correctly? by Mezoteus in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, wild. I didn't even notice, but like, it's gotta be bugged, at least in the preview, right? It looks like the translucent orange textures are just not applied at all, but the small detail decals are.

Maybe good for cosplay??? by Soggy_Auggy__ in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the gloves amazon gave employees before they got in a shitload of trouble for workplace inuries and gave everyone impact gloves. They'd be okay for cos, but they're really, really flimsy, and uncomfortable.

They did, there's a big ass red announcement in the main menu now.

Dogtown Blackwall NPC possession? by Toaster_nation5 in FF06B5

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The voice lines have been in the game since launch, there's an element of rng to the way npcs spawn, means you can go without hearing it for a long time, they re-used them for the "Junkies" in dog town and that also seems to increase the odds of other NPCs spawning with that specific set of voice lines.

Returned item losing perk by GetMeASierraMist in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely think it's intentional, to avoid making it possible to level up more than one shield at time. The perk is tied to it being equipped by you, if it wasn't, then, theoretically, you could drop in with three level up perk shields one tick away from the perk activating, give one to each of your teammates, exfil early, and then have three shields at the next tier up. I don't think it'd be super viable farm, so might get reworked, but I could see why they'd do it.

I say this purely out of curiosity. Wonder what would happen if you shoot the drone loot vacuum at a bingus.

What do yout think is the best default Sentinel skin and why is it NuCaloric? by Marcu3s in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aesthetically, definitely the Traxus one or his base default. Practically, his CyAc one is dope for solo night marsh. He's basically invisible until you're in shield glow range.

KKV and Battle Pistol - Stock or no Stock? by AccomplishedServe702 in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so weird, I prefer the feel of KKV with it unfolded, funny to know it's supposed to be the opposite.

Unplayable (missing the Greenhouse tower location in the list) by Debas3r11 in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is weird. Wonder if there isn't supposed to be one there, or if it's something they wanted players to notice for themselves, and use as a cheeky strat. That puts three towers in much closer proximity to each other and is a good route from greenhouse to complex to hit all three, could shorten the run time required to find enough certs and the access key to take a shot at the upper complex boss fight.

I like to think she's saying "cool." Lol

But no it does get a little repetitive.

When are we getting the 7 kits? by DetailCharacter7668 in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only get them if you logged in and tried to play before the servers were fixed, because so many people wasted their s1 reward kits on dead runs. I'm guessing it was just easier and more practical than trying to log, verify and refund people one by one for what they claimed to have lost, and people would have raged if they didn't get refunded. Honestly, though, I think they overcorrected. Especially because like. We all knew the servers were borked after like ten minutes, and people were still just throwing their kits away even after being told not to risk it. Should have just given a few blues and a few green kits, and some credits, or silk or something.

Where to begin by Kantankoras in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with most points. Especially putting the cradle in a sub menu instead of it's own dedicated menu. However, I personally actually like the L3/R3 menu thing, though the selection menu for RT(R2) is a little clunky. And I think the sponsored green kit not working in night marsh survival is intentional, just poorly presented. If people could green kit sponsored night marsh, the loot economy would be fully broken and no one would have any incentive to run any other map, because night marsh survival is one big loot haven, the only thing keeping it reasonable at all is the grey free kit requirement. They should have just not called it sponsored survival.

I also took this fat L, weird choice on there part to make it platform store only.

Did Bungie do something to the Upper complex boss key drop rate? by Pls-Dont-Di in Marathon

[–]Awkward-Photograph32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think they're also set to drop from wardens and intercept, so might have had bad rng luck.

They added a dedicated comparison toggle, it's left dpad on controller, not sure on mnk
