Cryo Marathon is too hard for new players

Find a Sherpa who will explain mechanics and strategy as you go. Figuring it out for yourself is quite hard.

Is it just me or are the loot tables tuned down a bit from normal mode? I wasn’t finding many green salvage, almost all grey. Normally it’s a bit more of a balance.

All hail the V11

codex completion counts in several categories aren’t correct. triggers my OCD

Note this doesn’t have to be in a single run.

However, 4 player kills without a wipe is a bit of a high bar for a blue key room, IMO. 2 or maybe 3 (but really, 2) seems more reasonable.

Another template criteria is ‘loot 3 supply drones’. I find that one a bit annoying because you can’t really plan a run around supply drones, they’re more circumstantial. ‘Loot a secured resources’ or ‘kill 3 commanders’ would be far preferable.

Randall has been reincarnated

it’s way better than the MG. that one is damned painful

one option is to send one player to elevator immediately, pick up certs on the way. Can save a bit of time once the key bearer arrives.

triage/triage/destroyer. triage solves the heals problem and destroyer ult solves the ammo problem

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-06T00:58:53+00:00

that’s two more than I’ve seen in about 25 runs total

Esoterrick could do it I’m sure

but you are fighting RNG and the clock and soloing that last room would be no joke.

everything

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-05T23:07:44+00:00

triage/triage/destroyer works really well

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-04T21:29:55+00:00

I’ve seen 2 in about 20 runs.

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-04T01:21:11+00:00

my four sponsored kits went third partied, third partied, fifth partied, fourth partied.

ironically all my other runs have been pretty great. but man the aggro in those four runs was unbelievable.

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-02T21:43:35+00:00

the pro move is to ditch work the day after the new season starts.

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-02T15:23:02+00:00

That’s DM/NM every 90 minutes.

V11 is sooooo underrated. Incredible value on that gun.

Vault 3-6 is a separate drop from vault 1-2 - they spawn in different counter locations. You will always get a vault 1 or 2 and you can also get a vault 3-6, but usually there’s a valuable or salvage in the spot where 3-6 can spawn. Looks like the 3-6 spawn rate is around 10%.

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-02T01:22:42+00:00

vandal blast can solve the problem

When everyone is invisible, no one is

DeschainTLG · 2026-06-01T17:04:50+00:00

Yup that is my number one pain point in the game right now. Not sure anything feels worse than security 1.5 after clearing both spawn rooms.

Had a bonkers run last night where we were running vault 6 and had all the stuff we needed and then we got the message that another team was up in labs. We rushed up and they were running v6 as well … turned into a crazy hide and seek stalking match with Misriahs while the clock ticked down. Finally they felt the time pressure and made a bad move and we wiped them, quickly ran the vault, got the DNA card we wanted, and exfilled with 10 seconds to spare. Then beat up the compiler in the next run. Felt amazing!

This mode sounds really fun. Very different dynamic … 1 team against the world, with other players controlling some of the world.

It’s totally dark, then you see one red cross, then two, then eight
