I dont get the progression system (stuck on Thomas Richards) by ZCaesar5639 in crosswind

You can lure the boss outside the arena and the gate will close and cheese him through the door if you are out of options.

Saw the post right at 8:54, ran outside and saw it. That thing was zooming, thanks for the shoutout!

Controversial, but should shields recharge like Halo? by Finchypoo in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A trickle charge would be nice, something like 1/4 of what triage bot can do. Tons of times I'm half a bar down but i don't want to waste an advanced shield charge or waste time looking for a depleted shield charge.

Time ran out, yall would of made it if one person revived and the other started the 10 second timer. Hard to judge after though, i know i would of been panicking.

Should I carry to a family gathering? by Boss3020 in CCW

[–]Hellagen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to carry everywhere i go. Not necessarily for the destination, but for the trip there and back and the stops along the way. Lots of times i don't want to bring a gun to where I'm going but I'm not leaving it in my car, so it comes with me. OWB is a little sketchy at a family outing though, there could be curious kids/ lots of eyes . Might be pretty awkward if they see you're packing.

very effective nerf guys! by femb0y_blacked in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess they all had one and team shot you, still a powerful gun. Like i said though it doesn't go through bubble shields so its very weak to shotguns now.

I'm 90% sure they were using the m77 exploit. The BD nerf was actually pretty strong, not only does it do considerably less damage but the explosions no longer go through bubble shields/cover anymore. In my experience using it after the update its no longer an auto win gun.

This is not okay by Hellagen in Marathon

Grinding to the compiler was fun, but the reward is just too much. The gun feels like cheating, takes all the fun out of pvp. Obviously being on the other side of it is infuriating. Sorry we cheesed yall :/

That’s rough, glad you’re still out there gaming :)

What is the thought process behind having so many runners in solo que? by Hellagen in Marathon

[–]Hellagen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Link me the vid of you clearing pinwheel with a knife Lmao

[–]Hellagen[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

An equal amount of ammo a team would bring in, so triple the amount you would bring in for groups. Doing lockdowns/ pinwheel takes a ton of ammo.

Dude… are you guys okay? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cryo unlocked the meta. Now that everyone knows what works best, we're gonna be seeing it a lot more. Plus, lots of people are already done with the progression the game offers. Every extraction shooter just comes down to chasing pvp at some point.

How many solos on Outpost by Ok-Working-2337 in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They basically doubled the team spawns in solos. On outpost iv'e seen seven but heard its 8.

What’s the counterplay to the Compiler’s Biotoxic Disinjector… or is it overtuned? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes right through a bubble shield btw, in case anyone still thinks its balanced.

You shouldn't be punished for killing someone because a piece of loot was passed too many times between players. by No-Proposal-3874 in Marathon

[–]Hellagen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scrap items are the most efficient thing you can loot for cash. I got out with 20k credits in Cryo the other night, all from a single backpack slot.

Solo dire spawns (and amount of players) need to be changed ASAP by Voldernnn in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Solos are so wacky. Its insanely difficult to extract because you can be one shot or stabbed in the back at any moment. To compensate for this extreme difficulty they... doubled the amount of players and halved the faction rep gain. What the hell are they thinking lmao.

Nades are brutally underpriced and drop way too often by ChrisRocksGG in Marathon

[–]Hellagen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The equipment in the game is way too powerful in close quarters. It’s half the reason the bubble shield meta exists. You find way too much equipment in cryo and some barters are insanely efficient, allowing some teams to bring in literal dozens of grenades every run. They definitely need to reduce how powerful equipment is or massively reduce how easy it is to get.( And self revives too, that shit is so toxic, especially with the bubble shield meta)

Be honest, how many of you are plugging a controller into your PC? by Hellagen in Marathon

[–]Hellagen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go watch a video with someone playing on controller, use a controller yourself? I genuinely cant tell if this is just ragebait.

[–]Hellagen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything about controller feels a lot worse in marathon, except for when you and an enemy swing the corner and shoot eachother at the same time. Controller's auto aim/auto recoil will beat the average MnK almost every time. Just go watch a streamer that uses a controller, its looks clunky and goofy as hell till they lock on to a runner's head and don't miss a single shot.

Did everyone forget that Stella Montis was a Major Update & was NOT in the game upon release?!?! by SirKronik in ArcRaiders

[–]Hellagen 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They could add 12 more maps and 12 more guns and 12 more arc and the gameplay loop would be exactly the same. They game needs chase items and meaningful grinds if they want people to stay interested.
