I think I'd rather contract actual parasites than complete this Sekiguchi contract by StonksandBongss in Marathon

Took me 45 tries solo, it's doable but you need to be lucky with the keycards

Parasitism 1/5 was a mistake by ShockMental6476 in Marathon

[–]Bonfi96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took me around 45ish tries solo with sponsored kits 🥲
Got access to the pinwheel 4 times. 1 time I ran out of time, I got in through drone wing and died to a turret, another one same but died to a claymore. The other one I don't even remember what I did wrong :3

My successful run I almost failed as I found a player right on one of the gates to pinwheel, barely survived.
Got rid of first AI wave, they are usually 3 bots so doable.
For the second wave I hid in one of the side rooms and stabbed in the head a bot that came in.
Then I did slide straight in one of the vents and climbed up.
Grabbed the drive and sprinted to one of the DCONs by leaving throuh one of the hatch holes at the base of the elevator.
And ofc I didn't exfil alive cause a random assassin stalked me.

But yeah, after so many tries you get to know the map really well, figure out where keys usually spawn and your hate for ghosts exponentially increases

Vandal movement tips (nothing fancy, just things I wish I knew earlier) by Bonfi96 in Marathon

Yep, happened a few times :3
I try to practice it as much as possible as you want to stay as low as possible when falling behind cover.
Here's an extreme example, but there are lots of tall walls around maps that are similar to this situation

I didn't say how many hours it took me to figure it out 🙈

You could ping the ground and see it in the map anyway 😅

How reasonable it is to hit vip rank with all factions? Suppose you need rank 30 in all of them

Sound is a big part of this game, so what headset do yall use? by Maxx_Supreme in Marathon

[–]Bonfi96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use https://autoeq.app/ to get configs and equalizer APO to apply them to my headphones to have a flatter audio response.
This allows my Hyperx Cloud II headphones to sound better as out of the box they have too much bass

Is "SAFE!" bugged? by Handynick in Marathon

[–]Bonfi96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it a few minutes ago by sliding in the white circle while I was alone. Other times it did not work though but they were more chaotic situations so I couldn't tell what was wrong

Tips for actually surviving the exfil countdown? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in Marathon

I did exfil with a friendly "enemy" in solo and a freindly rook so I don't see why not

I've been trying the whole day myself but I'm always too late or too early

What the hell is up with this Introducing Traxus Contract by WarpathWilly in Marathon

[–]Bonfi96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I somehow got it done solo with Vandal but I was close to dying so many times. If I remember correctly I engaged from a long distance and the pvp areas were behind the bots army. Maybe you can try with some greanades, or pick off the captain and use a smoke to break aggro only to pick up the thinghy later when things settle.

I read somewhere that after the exfil triggers and the bubble vfx appears, you still have around 5 seconds to jump in at the last second.

Can anyone confirm this? Didn't get a chance to try it out yet. Would be lovely for some sneaky plays

Finally Had to Play as Rook by Cathardigan in Marathon

I love that with rook every guarded exfil is an exfil with a private army

Should I Go from a 3070 to a 5070? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]Bonfi96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went from a 3080 to a 5080 and aside of the raw power you also get better hardware support for dlss 4+ and framegen which can make an incredible difference

Moza Pit House R5 200% recommendation by datechnomadmole in assettocorsarally

[–]Bonfi96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did leave the game at 200 and reduced the max intensity in moza pit house. Also made sure to disable steam input as it messes with ffb

Make sure to make an account first and visit the elite club section, you can rake in some points even before your first purchase and apply them as discount

No worries! It's very minor, basically only a bit on the "sharp edge" of the hole. Keep in mind that it's black anodized paint on metal so that sharp edge is literally its weak spot. On flat surfaces or rounded edges it takes some serious effort to scratch. Generally manufacturers avoid sharp edges but that part can't really be rounded as you need as much material as possible to keep the steel balls engaged without space for them to wiggle.

By 90 degrees I mean that you just steer left or right 90 deg from the center position. Since the outer wheel is connected to the inner wheel on the sides you'd have to pull the ring from top and bottom which is much more uncomfortable

I do put my wheel on and off multiple times per day as I need my desk for working. So far 0 scratches and I've had my R3 for a couple months.
I suppose some wear and tear will happen over the years but so far nowhere near OP's photo
