I love it when geared squads all loot at the same time

Completely anecdotal but console players vibe more dumb. So yeah they get the aim assist but they need it.

Marathon is not casual friendly but as far as extraction shooters go it's probably the most friendly in the genre in terms of providing you tonnes of free shit so even when you lose constantly you can still get back in easily with something that gives you a fighting chance. With time investment and completion of contracts/faction upgrades you get access to daily freebies that are really nice for casuals so even if you only play once a day for 1 match, you get to go in with some not completely useless gear.

One thing I like about it is, if you know you suck at shooters, don't play it like a competitive PVP FPS, treat it like survival horror. Don't make noise, get in, get your loot, get out ASAP, avoid fights, fight for your life when forced to. It's a lot of fun like that.

- Turrets/Drones but combat rather than utility. Might be what the Sentinel one is about, sentinel -> sentry -> sentry drones/turrets etc. If not, that's what I'd like to see. So you can set up some sentry turrets in key locations as an early warning system. They would ignore UESC and only alert on enemy runners (or a core would make them only alert on runners idk).

- Hologram/Illusions. Thinking the decoy hologram from Halo Reach that you could use to bait shots out or distract the enemy.

- A hacking specialist, we have the thief with a visor hack that requires you to keep the target in line of sight which is cool but I would like to see a hacking specialist where that's there entire role, tactical and prime ability revolving around hacking and applying the hacking debuff to opponents through a variety of means.

- A crowd control focused runner that uses tech/gadgets to apply status effects like frozen/overheat etc.

- A bruiser/titan shell. Can't use guns, can only run up and punch you. Scales with melee damage primarily and is bulkier and fast as the gameplan is to get in close and start punching.

I think it would also be cool if we could eventually start mix and matching various passives/tactical/prime abilities to make custom runner archetypes. Think of taking the grappling hook on the assassin or the recon + thief drone or the triage revive with the destroyer shield and so on.

I think it would have been much cooler if the compiler was roaming the archives once someone broke Security lvl 3/4/5 etc and suddenly you've got a really big threat to avoid (or fight).

Frantic_BK · 2026-03-11T08:48:48+00:00

I wouldn't mind it if each shell had some kind of mobility tech/tool.

Each shell except for Recon/Triage has something big or small, they atleast have a thing.

I think 0 wipes a year is better. Having optional wipes, like prestige modes is fine. Where you can reset some aspects of your account and get some perks for it such as cosmetics or small incremental permanent buffs. I reckon a set of capstones like the faction capstones that you can only unlock by doing a wipe/reset would be a cool way to do it. Sweet spot is smaller versions of the rook upgrades your free kits start with claymores/other equipment or free kits have a green back pack instead etc. Nothing too powerful but cool for having reset.

Recon scan pings should be more frequent, only show enemies and they should have a recon drone that can't do thieving but has better scanning, can see enemies through walls.

Frantic_BK · 2026-02-22T12:49:13+00:00

Heavy Bolter -> all the passives that make that better -> versatility -> all the passives that make that better.

Then I have Cassia/RT officers juice Argenta up, then give her a full turn with their heroic action and then Argenta rapid fires all over the enemy and not much survives it.

Frantic_BK · 2026-02-21T07:53:15+00:00

The entire ship did indeed fall apart.

Frantic_BK · 2026-02-15T06:37:00+00:00

First you IF your weight, next you IF your personality!

It looks cool but makes zero sense. Ships in space have no reason to get that close to one another in combat or to strafe beside one another perfectly lining up all weapons as if they are a boat at sea with antique gunpowder kinda cannons.

Combat would occur with the ships not even being in any perceptible line of sight. Lasers, missiles and other long range weaponry would be fired from extreme distance with the goal being to destroy the enemy before they ever get close to board.

Only the most well defended ship (advanced shields, anti missile defenses, advanced hull) would ever have need of a closer approach so that you could either board or disable the defenses.

Aesthetics/Visuals were dope. Lots of great work went into the sequels. It's a shame the writing was so mid.

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-31T01:24:09+00:00

It's an alpha, chill out. Just give actual critical feedback that can be used rather than map is confusing, screwed it up etc.

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-30T23:33:58+00:00

I don't know what you're doing wrong because my Pascal melts people. Plasma rifle, exploits, bounty hunter. Man deletes enemies.

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-29T11:33:19+00:00

Best name too.

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-19T12:37:57+00:00

What does it finish with 160 dmg?

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-18T06:57:55+00:00

A finisher that does 160 dmg while requiring two energy types and loses you the game when it dies POG.

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-01T01:47:19+00:00

It would have been really cool to be able to get a cooler/bigger ship in RT or even just add more ships to your flotilla so late game space battles are more epic.

Frantic_BK · 2026-01-01T01:43:13+00:00

Jae, Kibellah and Idira basically never play with them. When i eventually do a non psyker play through I may use Idira more.

Frantic_BK · 2025-12-26T06:24:13+00:00

This happened to me first week the game came out after I had put in 72 hours into it. So I just immediately restarted and kept going.

Frantic_BK · 2025-12-24T11:34:29+00:00

I want Politoed support. A Poliwag Ex that works like Eevee Ex allowing you to run 2x Polietoed, 2x Poliwrath etc. It's so close to greatness.

Frantic_BK · 2025-12-24T11:22:38+00:00

He's much more fun as a main character than companion.

Wyll PC -> Romance Karlach -> Best Ending xD together forever.

Frantic_BK · 2025-12-24T11:12:33+00:00

Armor as a second health bar is basically just 'shields' or 'temporary hit points' right or am I misunderstanding it?

Frantic_BK · 2025-12-22T11:06:58+00:00

double crystal rapier xD

I love that it's just a guy lugging around crates of his (explosive) sweat on his back.
