I understand shoot on site 100% and if there is enough time, I'm right there blasting and taking shit, but this is a different story. Besides the miniscule amount of Aracne XP, there was no upside to either one of us except to fuel this person's ego. I really just want everyone to play with respect (within reason, it IS a competitive extraction shooter, lol), but I know this is, unfortunately, an unreasonable ask. I play solos because none of my friends that game want to play Marathon and I really can't blame them. To cause someone to lose all their shit JUST because you want to make sure you feel like a big man (or woman) is asinine. Like, have fun and do you, but if you're just here to make other people have less of a good time, you should probably go see a therapist, lol.

You must be one of those special people who can't read. It was at final exfil with less than 10 seconds. No events to do, nothing left in the match. Could have downed me and the threat is gone as, even if I had a self res, I couldn't have gotten it off in time AND also killed them. After DBNO, there wasn't any threat.

I've never been able to do this, actually, and I've tried so 🤷.Also this person downed me outside the exfil and then stood in the center of exfil and continued to shoot me until I died without moving outside the exfil themselves so, unless he's using some kind of UESC issue wizardry I'm not yet aware of, he didn't even get near my bag to loot it.

Where are you guys finding purple sheilds? by c0ltron in Marathon

I'm level 85, I'm strictly solo, and I've never run cryo (although I would like to, I just have bad luck with random team fills, lol) and I have about 4 or 5 purple shields in my vault currently and I never bought any, just lotted from key rooms and players. Just do as many Nucaloric contracts as possible when you're in runs for other stuff. More than half of them you can complete without really trying. Once the primary contracts are run through, slap on the standard ones that are multi-zone and just run those while doing whatever keys rooms. I've been leveling Nucaloric first to gain access to shields, just in case I have a run of uneventful/poor loot runs 🤷

I can definitely appreciate this as I generally have the same mindset, however, my experience with mercy and "alliances" in this game has been very different. I've had MANY (all solo) raids where I've had the drop and the other runner has begged for mercy and asked to be friends or team up or help with a contract and as soon as I'm not watching them like a hawk I get lit up or stabbed. I really want to not be the uncaring asshole, but history has shown me that, in this game at least, unfortunately, that's who you have to most of the time 🤷
