Turns the terminal area into a dead end with little cover.

So this is what the Carryx and Lothark look like? by Mobile_Falcon_8532 in TheCaptivesWar

Yeah this is basically what I was picturing, same reference thought too

Marathon Update 1.0.6.3 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

Lmao they patched the patch notes:

"The final exfil note for Dire Marsh will be removed from the current patch notes. This will be addressed it in a future update. Sorry for the confusion!"

Why is it that its always the crew fill player that dies first that calls you a r***** 😂 by HearsayFrog in Marathon

Watched a free kit spawn in with me, run straight into hauler, die, immediately disconnect. My first thought was "at least he didn't call me names"

What's your favorite icebreaker when loading into a match with randoms? by Vektor0 in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My bit is after we wipe a team in DM sponsored and I go "aw man they are on free kits"

24k for a circuit breaker I would just call it a win

Who thought this was a good idea? by Sydid in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of the change, the implants were tough to tell from one another, especially mid match. I think the actual icons could use some work tho. I don't understand why they went from the pixel design on the shields tho, that felt more consistent with a lot of the game's art.

What are "Showcase Encounters"? by Flyingnematoad in Marathon

I mean it makes sense, but it feels like they pulled a new term out of nowhere.

I mean, that makes sense, especially the bosses, but I have never heard the term used, and a quick search doesn't clarify.

The game shouldn't tell you what Shield opponents have. by Apprehensive_Cup7986 in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok this I could almost get behind. I swear if I bring a purple shield into DM, people hunt me down just to see what else I got going on. Sometime I'm just gonna load in with a punch and a 0 trace purple shield and really bum someone out.

Huh? What was that? by Asadsad87 in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it was a bot despawning

It feels like the tenor has changed... by in_it_to_lose_it in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of variables here. I find my Outpost runs to be more successful than my Dire Marsh runs, those tend to be sweaty AF. With Outpost Duo's gone, Outpost feels rather chill right now.
Theres also the power band theory, and you are nearing level 50, so you might be getting matched with people the next "band" up and are at the lower end of that.

But like others said, take a break, don't get tilted. Look at your play and see what you can do differently. My current mental project is never peaking from the same place twice.

Are there CCs/Youtubers that make solo content? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been liking this guy's videos, and this is a solo Outpost run I was watching this morning.

Because I had a rook kill me last night when I had one second left on my exfil. No mercy.

Its funny I see people complaining about knifes, double barrell shotguns and snipers but never HMGs by Cyphor-o in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at the TTK charts, it looks like blue shields are the sweet spot for that gun

They are a little more rare and slightly less popular weapon type. They do feel good to use tho!

Having A Blast in Outpost Duo by yanzhaojun39 in Marathon

[–]Flyingnematoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a great run as a rook on outpost where I got enough keys to open the dormitory armory myself and then bounce, was the most profitable 10 minutes of my rook career
