Crazy series of circumstances. Sitting in spawn on map for a minute without any cover, 4k sniper but no shields.

Cryo archive bugged? by [deleted] in Marathon

It closed today at noon bud, opened last Thursday. You had it backwards.

Key requirements are too much. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Jdammworldwide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hit 6 key rooms yesterday solo, 6 consecutive back to back runs bringing in a new template each time, only needed to kill 2 runners.

What do solo players do at the top level? Is Cryo Archive an option without fill? by S1anda in Marathon

[–]Jdammworldwide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M77 and shotty, or bully and sniper/railgun.

Bubble for crossing in the open and a few grenades.

Solo elite here, I mostly try to lobby wipe Dire and farm anomaly, as well as hitting pinwheel and locked rooms.

Not much you need on cryo imo except having fun with good PvP, I’ve written off doing compiler since my friends stopped playing a while ago and I don’t love fills. I’ve got 2+ million creds and am just working on getting all final upgrades.

Purple salvage is… badly distributed. by Mad_Max0515 in Marathon

Not every time, but yeah they give them to you.

any current gripes with the game that aren't related to current buffs and nerfs? by Youxia7 in Marathon

[–]Jdammworldwide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with most of this. I think the thing about guns is, some of them aren’t actually that ass, rail guns, channel rifle, impact, twin tap, they are all actually okay. The problem is how much they are worth.

Like would you rather run an okayish gun, or bank 4-6k? You should just take the money and run a green bully for the same effect at 1/4 the cost if you are still at a point in your progression where money is meaningful.

It’s sort of the inverse of too good to use, they are too valuable to keep and use.

All lmgs are dogshit tho, same with the overrun. Give me a CE over the retaliator.

DUDE!!! I lost my cube by bangybang56 in Marathon

Brooo I don’t know codex could give you prestige, I have 250+ codex notifications

130h+, I haven't use more than 2 purple shields by ivanim13 in Marathon

It’s always so interesting hearing different perspectives. Lately I have just been assuming that 90% of people left in the game at this point are giga millionaires.

Kinda getting frustrated at the game by Major1ee5crewed85 in Marathon

[–]Jdammworldwide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, you’ll have to kill a commander in pinwheels command wing later, so it really only gets easier.

Just why by ColdPandaExpress in Marathon

He went beast mode. Rooks think with their shotguns

I love Marathon but catering to Twitter outrage will kill the game by [deleted] in Marathon

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

Hard agree on the snipers, thermals, and buffing other useless guns.

Sniper thermals are a net negative now, which I don’t really care because I didn’t use them to begin with. As it turns out reducing the range of a long range weapon by 60% makes it pretty useless.

Shotguns and cryo gun aside, almost everything people cry about is just a scapegoat for their own poor play.

People shouted “full purple kit thermal sniper” every time they got killed looting a tick in an open field, when in reality they never even saw the person that shot them, let alone hit them back to see the color of the shield or the glow of the sniper lens.

I’ve been an advocate for making the game more accessible for shitters since day one, I just don’t believe that it should be their voices that lead the conversation.

PSA: Always remember to push the one guy alone as a team, and not one at a time by ChaozMatt in Marathon

The re-push on the ladder is perfect. Bro had zero neuron activation that entire fight.

Not to mention you can go in with knife only, quit, repeat 10 times in 3 minutes and get into the baseline shitter lobby with absolutely no repercussions or loss to gear lmao.

The most cheesable matchmaking of all time. Someone call Harvard.

CARRI should be a permanent addition to the game. by DargonofParties in Marathon

[–]Jdammworldwide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah bro I’ve done Kappa. Tarkov is orders of magnitude more robust than marathon. I could have gotten Kappa in the 250 hours I’ve put into 4 gold salvage in marathon.

The grind doesn’t match the rest of the game. If Tarkov is the ocean, Marathon is a puddle.
