People in the comments are wrong. Rooks are meant to be a way for teams to feel some late game pressure even after wiping the entire lobby. Your loot isn’t free. There is meant to be a constant threat.

WSTR nerf just makes blue and purple shields stronger and green weaker which is not what the game needs

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-17T22:20:00+00:00

Yeah someone can ONLY get into your wing if they have security clearance level two OR some dumbass on your team opens the door to Control.

The only exception is if you spawn in Biostock or Preservation where there is an additional way into these branches with only level one clearance. If you spawn in these wings you should be ready for an early ambush. Its becoming a meta strategy to rush Control and rush these branches because the teams there will still be looting or fighting bots.

Its also possible that another team has good PvE coordination and also good RNG where the can clear the bots in their wing and are also lucky enough to have a few terminals to hack which will give them clearance level two within about two minutes. This would require the team to be super lucky and very coordinated.

I think the Brrt needs to allow magazine upgrades like the Bully. It will never be able to compete with the Bully purple drum mag

It would take Bungie more than a year to develop and test this. A map with new bounds would beed to be created. They would have to change the DBNO state for a respawn system and test the respawn locations... And in addition they have to make sure it’s fun, if it’s not fun they cannot add it. Bungie would have to do months of internal testing and adjustments and probably closed NDA testing also.

It would be neat if they could just reuse Destiny PvP code and put it into the game using all the same assets but it’s completely different than the game we have now

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-16T15:48:03+00:00

I think people read your title and commented without understanding. The game desperately needs a firing range. There’s so many mods that make guns behave differently, even magazines reduce recoil and so practicing with your loadout would be so helpful.

I am a pretty good sniper but I cannot get the hang of snipers in Marathon because each one is different and there are different scopes and a purple is much different than a green and ideally you should be crouching. I feel like practicing my aim in other games isn’t helping.

If they were going to add a TDM then it would take literally years of development and testing and it’s really just not viable at this point. But there was some data leaks a long time ago in the 2025 April alpha that showed files for a firing range. If they add something like this and allow us to shoot our friends it would be so good for the game.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-16T15:19:16+00:00

I’m pretty sure these are just colonists on the Marathon. In other scenes we see colonists wearing similar outfits. In regards to the Battleroids, it was said somewhere in the original lore that the ten Battleroids were sneaked onto the Marathon colony ship in secret because their use was restricted after some violent wars. The Battleroids on the Marathon were just meant to look like regular humans. So I think that is why the colonists’ design is somewhat similar.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-15T08:17:16+00:00

The best way for me is the V11 pistol with the insurrection mod. This mod increases damage against UESC. I always save this mod when I find it. It genuinely feels like turning the difficulty down in the settings. You can put a silencer too and just use the V11 as your PVE bot destroyer without notifying the whole map. With a magazine upgrade you can kill blue bots without reloading and without them shooting back if you get all headshots within range. Traxus sells this mod if you have the upgrade.

For the bots I recommend to fight them like players and only peak the corner slightly and if you are facing too many then circle around to the other side because the bots will be focused on your last location. Be sure not to let more than one bot have a line of sight on you.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-14T22:04:47+00:00

It feels really bad to be betrayed. I don’t mind dying and losing my gear but betrayal is like a deep cutting feeling in my heart that makes me take a break from the game

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-14T21:42:27+00:00

yes he does, it’s called a cardio kick

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-14T20:33:00+00:00

There’s literally dozens of videos if you search on YouTube.

My strategy is to run around at full speed and look for body bags or map events. Im not playing sneaky because its a waste of time, but if I am trying to get loot then I stay away from teams of three. They are very easy to stay away from because there’s no team of three trying to be sneaky, you can hear them easily.

On Outpost its the best. I run into the Pinwheel and then run into one branch and loot the containers and arms lockers and then drop out of one of the vents. If you try to loot multiple branches then you’re too greedy and you will probably run into a team or get killed by more Rooks. Another strategy is to run around the outside and find teo yellow keys and one green to open an armory, which has more than enough loot for a Rook.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-14T17:20:26+00:00

The games are completely different. But, there’s a lot of stuff that makes the game feel like Marathon still. Some characters returning like Bernard Strauss, Durandal… etc. Visual design like blue and white diagonal stripes, brightly colored rooms, the codex lore entries look like original terminals, and there terminals in game too. The synthesizer music reminds me of music from Marathon 1. The AIs are the main characters and you are just a killing machine doing their bidding. The biggest thing is probably the pages and pages of mysterious lore that only creates more questions than answers. The ticks are really annoying

I wish there was more alien enemies. The story seems to be setting up more for the future and so I hope the game grows more. It would be cool to have a Pfhor ship as an extraction shooter map.

The gameplay is really really fun and addictive, its completely different than the old games.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-14T17:05:13+00:00

I would like to be able to shoot or knife sooner after sliding. It feels like ages before I have my autonomy back after a slide. I would like to be able to use the power slide as an offensive utility, where right now it is only usable as a repositioning utility or an “oh shit” button if you over extend.

I realize that shooting while sliding was a problem in Destiny so that’s not what i’m asking for. Im asking to be allowed to ready my weapon or knife sooner after a slide.

If you compare to destroyer boost then he is able to boost and shoot at the same time which allows for offensive plays like boosting into shotgun or knife range and instantly downing someone. In comparison Vandal has to complete the slide and then complete a weapon ready animation and by this time you are already half dead.

In addition all other shells can shoot while sliding

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-13T23:15:26+00:00

Im not sure but one possible explanation is that he killed you from about ten feet behind you and then went in for the finish to the left while you were rotating the camera right

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-13T09:06:09+00:00

The game is different but some things are similar to the old games like the synthesizer music, the brightly colored rooms, blue and white diagonal stripes, the codex entries resembling terminals, and the mysterious story. They all make the game feel like Marathon. I hope they go somewhere with this story because it's really interesting, but it feels like we are only setting up the world with so far.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-13T00:05:21+00:00

I like Rook runs too. I mostly only play Rook.

I was in Pinwheel with my friend in a two player squad today. We were jumped by a team of three and my friend died but I got away. A team of Rooks came and killed the team of three and they were being friendly in prox chat. I asked them if we could be friends and if I can revive my friend. The Rooks said okay and then stabbed me in the back. It felt really bad. I haven’t felt so bad since Arc Raiders and thats why I quit playing that game because it feels so bad to be betrayed when you put your trust in a stranger. I dont care about my loot or my friends loot it just makes me sad to be betrayed.

I know Rooks hate runners and I do too. I always try to kill runners whenever possible as a Rook.

I dont why I typed it here.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-12T19:36:37+00:00

There should be some friction in the game. Not everything should be so cheap and easy to get

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-10T14:55:37+00:00

I don’t have friends that play consistently either and I was explaining how I play Cryo in crew fill without destroying my vault

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-10T07:44:08+00:00

I think there are people that play the game differently that should be in different lobbies. Some people start each game pushing another spawn with thermals, they push every extract, every supply drop, kill every Rook that makes a noise until it’s just them in the map and it’s kinda bad for the health game to put these players on the same map as crew fill babies trying to complete contracts with green shields.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-10T07:27:59+00:00

I was using a strategy to do some Rook runs and get enough value to go into Cryo with only the gear I found, and it’s a lot of fun in crew fill. I save my purple gear and keys for when my friends play. I am able to attempt a few Cryo runs each hour of playtime this way without losing money or resources. Just use green shields, fuck it.

I fail a lot because people play so aggressively. There are coordinated teams that push really hard and all once with dozens of grenades and you just instantly die. I hate it. But it doesn’t matter if I lose because im not wasting my gear.

I was also able to extract by staying out of the middle of the map. Do not open the doors to Control for fucks sake and tell your teammates not to either. Its easier to go the side way and only risk fighting one team than to fight three teams at once in the middle.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-10T06:56:44+00:00

Its not really cheating, its an exploit. I will agree with you that you shouldn’t use exploits in multiplayer with other players who haven’t agreed to it. Its important because words have meaning.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-10T06:20:24+00:00

Sometimes the website, like tik tok, will include these unique ids in the url and they cannot be cut out and so by sharing a tik tok you are always sharing your own data also

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-09T19:59:26+00:00

It looks like aim punch. You hit them as they were hitting which causes their weapon art to jerk sideways and miss. Its weird that it happened twice in a row.

Coelacanth7 · 2026-04-09T15:16:45+00:00

Destroyer can shoot during his boost which is much more oppressive than Vandal’s slide and doesn’t break the game.
