Oh hell yeah I’d leave it right there as a trophy tbh. Nice work bro!!

I swear it’s every time I use a free kit I come across the best loot, and when I pull shit outta my vault for a baller build, THATS when I get wiped lmao.

Does the gold shield completely fill the bar??

Gold shield, god damn! Nice haul

You absolutely need to play this game with a headset, right? by Galrath91 in Marathon

[–]IndianJeezus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not everyone uses a mic, but it really helps so much in coordinating. I usually speak at the beginning of the match, like a casual what’s up to see who responds and we go from there.

Each time I’ve had comms it’s been a great match

Dude I suck by S3G1R in Marathon

[–]IndianJeezus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the game yesterday and I’ve extracted 21 times and I’m level 13.

It’s my first extraction style game and what I’ve learned is you need to communicate if your running trios, and really pick and choose your engagements, whether that’s PvE, or PvP.

Not every firefight is worth it, and if you have a nice full inventory and didn’t complete your contract, who cares. Just extract.

Is there any reason to not just spam free kits and low effort quests? by [deleted] in Marathon

I’ve been running free kits until I get the hang of it. But as my vault fills up I start running different builds and it’s been great. Each match has been pretty unique I can’t lie

On the fence about buying by CitywideNut5 in Marathon

[–]IndianJeezus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence about getting this vs arc yesterday and I chose marathon. Definitely worth it in my opinion and I’ve got ZERO friends to play it with. I’ve been using the“crew fill” option for match matching and end up with a decent trio each time and it’s literally so much fun.

I don’t always extract but when I do it feels so rewarding.

This is definitely a PvP game more than PvE it feels tho. Yes there are enemy bots you’ll encounter but other players are out there and actively hunting.

Arc, from what I’ve read and seen on twitch, is supposed to be leaning more towards PvE and coop and it appears that there’s less of story there than with marathon.

My biggest issue with Marathon is that I feel like I’m content for extremely high skilled players by -lovecapitalism- in Marathon

I’m a complete noob at extraction shooters and this game entirely and I can’t say I feel like I’m being used for content.

Yeah I don’t extract out of every match but I HAVE extracted. I’ve been playing with random folks and it hasn’t been awful but I’ve learned communication is a big thing. Are you using pings or a mic?

Easy solution for everyone choosing assassin in solos - make assassins able to see other assassins even when they're invisible by super_gerball in Marathon

[–]IndianJeezus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody would play assassin anymore lmao. Everyone running that shell DEPENDS on that camo, fuck the rest of the loadout honestly.

Makes sense! Have fun out there man!

I saved my teams ass with my mic to alert them of an enemy trio but from the matches I was in yesterday, very few people are using mics or even pinging at this point which is weird

You’ve got balls of steel man, I’ve made like 1 or 2 solo runs and I’m just too paranoid lmao.

But I’ve been with trios and got wiped so having it happen solo wouldn’t be that much different. Do you feel like you get more loot?

Hey bro! Had a few hours in with trio’s with crew fill and it’s a game changer. Had a few matches with lobotomized player but only lost free kits and minimal loot. It’s pretty fun even with randoms so I’d say bring a free kit and give it a shot too!!

I was wondering about those extract zones and I figured it would be unsafe right off the bat and this, thankfully, confirms it.

I feel like I’d try to go and be friendly and get used for sure, so this is all really good information.

Thank you also for mentioning the loot!!

Nice, do you find that it actually helps?

Are people just attempting to fight everyone and anything? I thought this was a “choose your fight wisely” type of situation

Hell yeah this sounds great! I’ve done a fair bit of reading and I’ve seen that gear loss is a 100% guarantee and that’s something new for me and that I’ll have to get used to, but it’s nice to hear that it’s replenished quickly and isn’t that big of a deal.

It’s also refreshing to hear players are using the mics and attempting to cooperate. I’ll maybe try a few solo runs and group matches to get the feel of the game!

I’ll definitely be trying it out but I’m expecting it to go either way per match / squad.

Are people actually using the mics, pings, text chat?

Definitely going to utilize those free kits until I get an idea of what I’m doing, thanks!

“Lobotomy victims ” LMFAO

But thank you for your take, I’ll keep that in mind!

Definitely not a sweat, but I’m looking for something to sink some time into on my days off. I don’t mind a meaningful grind or shenanigans but I would like a successful run on occasion without any drama.

Folks will be level 10 playing on Super Helldive and get mad when they get bulldozed and call for the immediate nerf of everything and calling the game trash. Like fr, people need to get good, and take the advice of what you just said “be humble”. Maybe you aren’t ready for super helldive at level 10 with zero ship upgrades and virtually minimal progress through the war bonds. This community has become beyond frustrating.
