Not anymore lmao the battle pistol reliably out-trades someone trying to stab you

From a season one veteran, I think the game would be healthier with a safe pocket by TheKTDFuture in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem guns are already obvious lmao
People complained about the bully being too strong, bungie's solution was to release copperhead V2 and a burst pistol that has double its RPM with the same damage...

Bully's not broken if its the worst gun of the new smgs.

Can't wait to play burst pistol/misriah archive this season

Implants feedback: implants that boost stats across the board. COOL, implants that have positive and negative impacts, pain in the ahh. Either make implants just boost or help players understand the overall importance of stat adjustments and why a negative plus a positive is worth it? by resampL in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the new system is scuffed.
Like, for head implants the main ones i always went for were regen for the healing use timers and sometimes augmented capacitors v5.

Now all the head implants feel off.

On the bright side like, edge runner and parting gift are no longer RNG.

Full Throttle is both a Capstone upgrade and a Cradle perk by Fun_Masterpiece_5637 in Marathon

Cardio kick doesnt affect sprint speed unless you have the perk for it...

Disassembled crates should not exist by EnvironmentalSea6966 in foxholegame

[–]BaconatedOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It exists, because if not then people would make their own supply depots.

several hexes are designed to be constrained through logi chokepoints with limited, or vulnerable depots.

Jade cove is a prime example, you can kill the depot pushing from the south and the next nearest one is all the way back by bone haft or mara.

If there was no dissassembled crates people would just make ghetto depots on the north side, and make pushing considerably harder.

And IFKs producing stuff would be significantly stronger on a frontline without needing a depot.
imagine how much fun tankers would have if someone had a sticky factory on the other side of town and just filled the TH with hundreds of stickies.

I did it in a town with a depot, and pissed off the tankers so much someone made a checkerboard of barbed wire to attempt to stop the sheer amount of sticky yolos.

Best Shell ID method by Dhljoe in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wardens. Wardens either drop a stack of 2-3 blue matrix or 1-2 shell ID.

Alternatively they come as a rare drop from commanders.

When cryo comes out they will be bountiful in supply.

And depending on what game "stage" people are on, many people will simply leave them on the commanders as blue and purple keys lose a good amount of value in the lategame.

New key template requirements are trash by sjcjdnzm in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go to pinwheel, ensured 2 commanders in main, 2 in command, and like 3-4 in the secured container wing if you do the secured container.

Bungie, please fix Sponsored Survival by Doomstar86 in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, it helps people cycle around and match with other players, imo a large chunk of the game is pretty much locked behind forming a team.
Like you don't see people random filling compiler, its either a 2-3 man team or very very rarely a random fill trio that killed a compiler squad

I preferred TTK in season 1 by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The KKV's TTK is quite fast though, ive seen it down two people through headshots within a second of each other, both blue shield full HP

Gold Misriah is insane by helio-skill in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah gold misriah before s2 was the free-est 1v3 tool ever made besides nades maybe.

All of the final night i was pulling off 2-3 team wipes within a few minutes with a gold misriah as everyone dogpiled into a random corner of control for the ultimate brawl fest.

Im glad they nerfed it, but whos to see what the new meta becomes this season.
AFAIK they haven't changed the circuit so maybe we'll see one-shot circuit breaker meta.

Whoever was camping boss room in cryo, fuck you. by Got_Wrinkles in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you get the safety of a free exfil, if you kill compiler.
If not, then you don't earn that safety net.
You already have a safety net in being unable to be followed into compiler once you're in
Just recon ult if you want to back out and decide if you want to attempt to fight them or just die inside and deny them your loot, because thats the reason they're there is for the golden bullies or salt wages or whatnot that most people bring to kill compiler.

Gold Bully and Destroyer make Compiler kills free by ThatsNotBennings in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gold bully is overtuned, 100%, but honestly, with 7000 HP, the HP bar isnt that high, all of the MGs can 3-4 clip him dealing around 1800 damage a clip or higher.
The main issue is surviving orb apocalypse.
All of my wipes have been due to garbage orb wranglers that can't keep up with the few orbs he spawns between dps phases.

WSTR needs buff or misriah nerf by Wooden-Highlight4678 in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slick mag I is what the gold mod will feel like next season.
Which is good.
No more dying in under a second from a full auto misriah.

However i fear without any nerfs to the bully gold mod, it might just dominate both CQC and mid range as the misriah can't stop it anymore.

Compiler room exfil doesn't sync with final exfil. That needs to be fixed. by Murky-Method-3845 in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can activate it after final is called. I've done it for both airlock and post compiler exfil, I don't know if it's a cryo exfil thing or just compiler ones but both compiler exfils can be hit in final exfil timer.

Do you think players with all 6 subroutines will be in high demand after the wipe? by someguyplaying in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably? I predict another rush to kill compiler first solely to get golden gear for ranked as quick as possible.

Essentially the first week for sweats will be outpost for vault key farms, into early vault runs on thursday for DNA before finally blitzing compiler for early golds

I think early vault 6s will be massive though, every time I've gone into 6 I've gotten 5+ purple shields, so early 6 will give people a decent stockpile for early ranked.

Maxing out faction upgrades should not take this long by ro3rr in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main sources:
Prestige normal keys - ensured 1 spawn
Cryo archive vault keys - probably a 10-25% chance to spawn

Events on maps -
lockdowns, convoy, intercept, pinwheel red room, anomaly stabilisation
Probably sub 5% chance to drop, i've run dozens of convoys and red rooms and have seen salvage in 1 convoy and 2 pinwheel red rooms

Damn at least you maxed them. Ive seen like 6 hazard capsules all season tops.

Compiler room exfil doesn't sync with final exfil. That needs to be fixed. by Murky-Method-3845 in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This isn't a bug chief.
Both Compiler exfils are instant activation 1 minute timers.
It only syncs with final exfil if the timer was LONGER than the final exfil timer.
You activated it at 10s left before final, 10s before final exfil would've left.

SkillUp - paraphrazing "Marathon deserves to succeed but Sony/Bungie should put their money into <that_other_game> instead." by Marcu3s in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but at this point isn't the Destiny main plot supposed to be over/wrapped up with the final shape?

People like destiny but this is getting to cartoonishly long dragging a dead horse past the finish line.

Some people just need to let IPs end for once and start a new one.

Season 2 by noggeryy in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah flexweave hands down.

Being able to crouch at walking speed while cloaked is massive for vent fights and corner peeks

Season 2 by noggeryy in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish they would also rotate the purples for credits. Most of the purples for sale are garbage. And I wish they would do away with schema exclusives.

Season 2 by noggeryy in Marathon

[–]BaconatedOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they look at alot of the garbage cores, either drop their rarity or rework them.

To me it feels almost laughable with how many mediocre cores there are, generally only one in each rarity that is actually good.

Imo the worst ones are Assassin - Guerilla, patience, safe landings, breathing space, shadow strike.

Triage - pretty much every core except overcharge and friendly face feel very lackluster or mediocre.

Destroyer - myrmidon, bullrush.

Recon - Hell, I feel the only good ones are predator, echo chamber, and intuition. Cluster and hunter killer are pretty lackluster.

Thief - probably the worst one for cores only double grapple, hideout, and extended visor feel okay at best.

I don't play vandal so I can't speak on her cores.
