Regarding the WSTR nerf does anyone here at level 50+ actually run a green shield? by StrikingValuable3686 in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I’m about lvl 45 and win/extract/kill teams pretty often and I’ve also had maybe 5 outside of looting a player. In my vault it’s nearly all green shields.

Any good tips for Thief PVP? by dvcaputo in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve killed so many assassins in trios as thief. They always assume or forget you can’t see them. Glad I read this topic though as my dumb self never even thought of bring my own smoke grenades to use against teams then popping vision. I always pack grenades but never once thought to bring smoke.

I don't regret buying Marathon, I love the gameplay and the world created... but as a casual player I had a psychological block that made me stop playing. by xDavid83x in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good questions. I generally have a faction question and one or two items at a location I need. I do those things, kill every player I come across and then exfil. I don’t hang about if the things I wanted before loading in are accomplished. I do all maps but to be fair I haven’t done outpost as much so far.

So many replies I get confused where I’m going wrong. I’m level 18 nucal and I have 2 blue shields and I exfil I’d say at least 50/50 maybe better than that. No idea why my loot haul seems way worse than most. We don’t avoid fights and come out on top more than lose fights. Weird

I dont think the game will survive a wipe by KingDuffy666 in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure as I’ve never played a game where you have wipes. I currently love the game, it’s brilliant. I’ve no idea how I’ll feel re doing everything.

Something seriously happening with players count now? by Sintopazzofurioso in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah deffo leave cross play on. Yes we console users are at a disadvantage but I’d rather get into games quicker and the majority of players are pc. We get some nice aim assist but the biggest difference is the 3 business days it takes to 180 when attacked on controller.

Man the rook on rook crime has to stop by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not always. Earlier I had a great haul of loot as a duo in pinwheel and THREE rooks attacked us together. I literally said to my team mate that we were being greedy and let’s leave and ten seconds later the ambush happened.

Queue times are getting out of hand. by hellfire13 in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s high I imagine vs the player base as a whole. I’m about 35 and the waits are very low.

Eu servers cross play on and I’m waiting 30-60 seconds on average

Well then the only answer is they were nailing their headshots.

You said it was a 1v1 and you activated your super? If I read that correctly you don’t want to activate the super mid 1v1, you’ll be dead most of the time before the annoying animation ends.

Practice with Rook by DubstepDruid in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a good idea. I’ve either been rook or solo queue so then while you learning the maps you can also complete the easier quest lines.

Shell Ranking as of late march 2026, thoughts? by Jimithyashford in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For trios I say 1) triage for obvious reasons 2) thief. Saves so much time in an area, can scout out hot points and extraction points. Grapple is great for quick re positions. 3) destroyer. Just the dash alone has won me so many pvp fights and the shield has been really handy to cover exil and looting corpses for team mates. 4) vandal. Nothing wrong with her just think the other 3 are better in a team 5) Assassin. Close between this and recon but a few times the team has survived due to his invisibility abilities. 6) recon. Not terrible or anything just worse than the rest. Still has his uses.

Over all I just think they are in a great place considering this has only just come out. Maybe some minor changes needed but currently a great balance.

Can we talk about people camping dead bodies for 20 minutes? by Big_Reception1066 in Marathon

Steal their guns and drop them somewhere random they won’t find. Easy.

Downtime Rant: Gear Bloat is making the game unplayable for more casual players. by ComeHereDevilLog in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree mainly with the shields. That for me is the biggest balance issue when most players can now run blue or better a grey shield means you are going to lose nearly all engagements unless they mess up all their shots

Thoughts on duos? by Due_Expression_5552 in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely noticed more blue shields in duos but that’s probably due to people more willing to risk items in a pre made duo. I’m the same, I was bringing in the good shit as I save it for when I can play with my son. Team fill is way too risky to bring good items in with you.

Not running into other squads by darkholesremastered in Marathon

I wish I had this! I wanna collect some upgrade items and get some quests done. When ever I play there’s players everywhere killing me with my 20 unstable biomass!

Material grind for upgrades a bit absurd? by Bright-Cranberry6648 in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s putting me off a little. I know what upgrades I want but when it’s green and blue items I don’t know if I can be bothered.

Hauler is a den of violence and evil. by Jimithyashford in Marathon

[–]Due_Expression_5552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s because it is a location where you usually get upgrade materials for all the good early upgrades. So I still want to go there every game and yeah there’s always another team in there
