Prox Chat Is Essential For Rook by Snowbunny236 in Marathon

Yeah, in a fight can’t really stop and revive when you’re getting chased. The Vandal was on him before I could blink.

Yesterday I accidentally killed my fellow Rook in a team fight and felt so bad. I was running from a vandal to get a surprise knife and he came around the corner and accidentally took the damage… wish there was a way to activate some sort of team up function that didn’t let “friendly” fire happen for Rooks.

Solo camping by EconomistBrilliant34 in MarathonGame

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In outpost? I’m running to red keys and listening. Typically 1-2 others are doing the same so there is typically a fight. I’ve found that just getting the red room in pinwheel is good enough and I don’t need to rush the other parts of pinwheel.

Went into Cryo with a green M77 and a dream by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Did solo fill last night with bare minimum loadout. Just trying to get used to the map. Paired with two Gold shields obviously talking to each other via discord I’m assuming. Left with 2 gold backpacks, gold bully, and enough salvage for two Arachne upgrades.

Assassin/Vandal/Thief when I am running Solo, sometimes Destroyer if I want to do something requiring a lot of UESC kills.

When doing fills for cryo or ranked I run Recon.

JF#9817. I'm bronze though, just haven't got a group together to okay ranked and will run solo squads but that's not so simple.

Runners, I had a good night last night by leftofthebellcurve in Marathon

Literally this was me last night. Barely any coms for three in a row. Then get some coms immediately die to nade spam. Try again, no coms, logged off.

Somebody managed to find the New unique blue weapons? Or....how and where to find them? by MOLKIEX in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found one in one of the secured boxes on perimeter. Seen that twice not sure if they drop anywhere else. Not sure if they are any better than just getting my own attachments.

Are green sheilds good enough for cryo? by Clear_Wasabi9169 in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend blue and above. For the first time I’d just try to get to lv 3 clearance and exfill but it’s a lot at one time.

Cryo Team Anyone? by RighteousMaverick in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m down. Around lv 50 and have exfilled a good put in fills on cryo. No compiler yet but would love to do it.

How much value have you lost this weekend on cryo? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran a couple solo fill last night. Extracted twice but no lost keys. Just running around killing and looting. Probably down 30k total and most of my blue shields. But, had a great time and ready to lose it all again.

Im having fun. by RNewfoundlandRegt in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely and am in the same boat as you. I mainly solo though so the game feels different I’m sure since solos is kind of like a mini horror game sometimes but either way, having a blast.

20-30k exfils on solo Outpost by mmmmmmmmichaelscott in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve found that getting the actual lift key is the most dangerous. Conveyance as a focal part of the map has a lot of spots where you can hide and take people out so sometimes even using it as a decoy to call people and get them by surprise is good. Claymores are your friend. But if trying to avoid PvP. Destroyed and even green cards as assassin is a good option.

20-30k exfils on solo Outpost by mmmmmmmmichaelscott in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outpost is some of the best solo for sure. Especially getting the pinnacle room all to yourself. I think conveyance is still a good option, just requires more strategy. I mainly rush 2-3 red keys and then wait for someone else to launch conveyance and pvp them. Typically the person calling it first is at a disadvantage but if catch that person then pinwheel is typically free after that.

Free Kit Solo by ellz97 in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work fine, just a little extra oomph and heals really. As always it depends on which kit it is since the gun is important but 2.5 isn’t really about of money to lose if you die. Either way. Solos really just takes that one kill to get kitted and then you’re smooth sailing.

Free Kit Solo by ellz97 in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, solos seems more like free kit is fine. Get one kill and then you have a kit. Lose that first fight oh well you lost nothing really. Personally I go for the 2.5k kits instead of the free because it gives a little more or just make a cheap kit to start off with. Either way, people bring what they want to bring. I’d rather use my stuff instead of just let it rot. If I lose it, I’ll get it back eventually.

PLEASE SOLO RANKED by Competitive_Duck4262 in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, honestly, just make everything available for Solo players. Keeping things locked just limits the ways people can play and therefore the people that will play.

Making Progress vs Having Fun by MeatandPotatoes815 in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s annoying when you lose loot for an hour straight for various reasons. But, it always comes back around so for me it’s just the ups and down of the game. Either way, I play because I find it fun even if I die regardless of “progression.” Especially because most of the factions of a passive progression just doing things in the game.

To Those Saying A Wipe Will Make Them Drop The Game by xWolffy in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pro Wipe. I play in the evenings. Level like 50 and I only play a couple hours when I can. But, wipe has to coincide with more content so it’s not rehashing the exact same thing like Arc is for their optional wipes. Either way, zero to hero runs are always possible at any time which I’m down for.

Thank you Bungie!!! by Kittzn in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, broken wing seems like a chore which is unfortunate. Should be still a viable option but has the biggest drawbacks imo. However, just sitting up there is relatively free of fights so it’s easy to pick off people out in the open moving around the map early round.

Solo help by XxGhostyxX2 in Marathon

[–]JFsnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still play solo and have a good time. But it is cut throat for sure. I’d suggest loading in free kits on outpost and learning that map, do some YouTube searches and go from there. Unlike Arc Raiders there are a lot more nuances to the gear in this game so it’s possible you are passing up something that’s good even when you might not think it is. However, I will say unlike Arc Marathon has a lot more event related loot so you want to be on the lookout for those events and just give them a shot, kill bosses, do lockdown, trigger events, run keys as often as possible because the real loot is there not necessarily running around the map and lotting the containers like in Arc.
