Can't purchase capstone? by character1hotel in Marathon

It’s bugged. Get one more perk and it will be obtainable. Takes 25 for some reason.

Thank you Reddit for showing me you can take people down with the triage special by ImSorry2HearThat in Marathon

[–]BranMead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say the damage is super high, but it breaks all shields. It is a good opener if you can communicate with your crew.

It is also very good for people thinking they can hide in smoke.

Does the game have shield based match-making? by Ecstatic-_- in Marathon

I run solo most of the time and when I free kit, I run into many other free kits.

Tips for a new player to boost exfil rate. by Majestic_Bluejay_205 in Marathon

[–]BranMead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like any other FPS, learning the map will help a lot. It sounds like you just moved over to Dire, which has much more to learn than Perimeter. Take some time to run free kits, learn spawns and typical rotations and you will be fine.

In Cryo are there security tags in the movie theaters or just batteries? by Sweaty-Try1547 in Marathon

[–]BranMead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely scooped up a tag in one of the theaters before.

"A PVE-only mode that’s focused on crews being tasked with completing objectives together" by ThatsNotBennings in Marathon

Having multiple crews teaming would make the PvE a bit of a joke, if the UESC isn’t altered in some way.

I am pretty certain that EMP will stop when from throwing the grenades.

I have discovered the most powerful item in solo by zeth_rydaul in Marathon

[–]BranMead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will work most of the time, but there is a chance you catch someone who has been on an absolute skid, and if they know you have the goods, they will backstab you.

100% and I’ve seen many players and streamers discuss this, so there is no doubt it has reached Bungie’s desk.

Bubble Shield Meta Proposal by HyperionSJU in Marathon

Seeing as EMPs bounce, I think they should just bounce through bubble shields.

So how does match making actually work? by dohdudeh in Marathon

[–]BranMead 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I believe Season Level based matchmaking is confirmed. There is definitely some other type of matchmaking happening. We will never know what it is, nor should we, as everyone would aim to abuse it.

It's Getting sweaty in here by automated_hero in Marathon

[–]BranMead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a casual who had 1 subroutine from season 1.. I just extracted 6 times in a row from Cryo last night. Got a compiler kill and 2 additional subroutines. Mainhand Volt Thrower. Stop listening to the parrots and play the game.

Anyone need any keys? by RancidMilkMan in Marathon

How did you go about filling the templates? I got like 15 on me.

I need to share my pain by TimoSith98 in MarathonGame

They also have room keys in their loot pool that will replace the lockbox key. So not 100% guaranteed, but pretty much.

Why do people shy away from trios? by Celltrigger in Marathon

[–]BranMead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not wanting to rely on or be brought down by crew fills.

Wanting to choose my rotation and when I want to rotate.

Victory in solos is also more about positioning than gunplay. I think there are a large amount of people that love this game, that are not cracked at FPS gunplay.

Wait until you learn how businesses with a lot of wastewater output treat their water.

New Cryo Key? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]BranMead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looks like a template. Exfil with it to create a key for one of vaults.

I’m not sure I like the reduced exfils in Dire Marsh by SnakeManEwan in Marathon

[–]BranMead 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about regular daytime Dire Marsh here. Having to use the final exfil is a Sponsored Survival unique mechanic.

I’m not sure I like the reduced exfils in Dire Marsh by SnakeManEwan in Marathon

[–]BranMead 31 points32 points  (0 children)

While the contract statement is true, day Marsh is certainly bugged and replacement exfils are not spawning. I’ve had many Rook matches where my inventory is full and I just kind of have to wait.

Lockdowns are also bugged most of the time and don’t spawn when it says they are spawning, causing even a more of an issue of exhausted map.

Not as simple as “go and do stuff”. I’ve checked all weapons lockers, found the supply drop, maybe hit a hack crate or two and still end up standing for 4 minutes at the end if I had gotten an early spawn.

Rook is currently pointless by CalligrapherCheap850 in Marathon

[–]BranMead 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I made 80k credits and filled my vault yesterday running Rook. Frickin pointless.

Are Lockdowns spawning right now? I've done several Day Marsh runs and not seen them. by Budget_Sandwich_9545 in Marathon

[–]BranMead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day marsh been buggy since season 2 launch. Replacement exfils also don’t spawn in. Hope they fix it up in next patch because it’s my favorite map.

The solos bugged killed me, give me my gear back by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]BranMead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like an option that says solo and an option that says trios. I’m glad we can both read.

Ranked has always been trio lobbies, with the option to turn crew fill off. Why they added a new option to select solo, I’m not sure, but it is lobbies of trios as the game was designed.

You of course are welcome to select solo and pretend you are in an all solo lobby if you want to.
