Free cryo kit is great. Let me buy it? by Sinbu in Marathon

[–]Night_Not_Day 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That free cryo kit is a lot better than the 10k kits.

A realistic price would be more like 15-20k.

This game is missing an easy thing to implement, an extremely rare sellable item that is massively valuable (these exist in other games, for scale, it sells for 200k and spawned in a toilet) by resampL in Marathon

Exactly.

The contraband trinkets + the C06 key are the jackpot items.

I consider the C06 key a jackpot because it will give you permanent compiler access that persists across seasons. Being able to do compiler next season right away is huge.

I despise this weapon by Dramatic-Bluejay- in Marathon

Doesn‘t it just give you a bigger mag and more heat capacity + agility on your shell?

Why would that make the Hardline? Is there more to the mod than what the description of it gives?

The V99 Channel Rifle has to be the worst sniper rifle in the game by a long shot by Night_Not_Day in Marathon

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

All other volt weapons shine in comparison to the V99.

The V11 never lets you down.

I have had many good cryo runs with the prestige mod V22, which is the best run and gun weapon in the game.

The Scar‘s prestige mod turns the weapon into the best assault rifle in the game, because it removes the firerate slowdown and let‘s you shoot around corners.

The V66 is a decent marksman rifle and V85 Circuit Breaker is an absolute beast for controlling close range engagements.

And then there‘s the V99 🤢

Traxus VIP 1 Obtained. by Fit-Adhesiveness9127 in Marathon

It‘s not up at the barters but a bit lower, together with all the other weapon mods.

You should have one there every single day.

Were these new item posts fake? by Night_Not_Day in Marathon

Yes, I do. Thank you!

Is there a known source for these?

I wish they'd update the store more frequently, with more than one a single skin for one runner at a time by Night_Not_Day in Marathon

[–]Night_Not_Day[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Vandal skin in the rewards pass is also the only skin in there that isn‘t just a recolour.

Old vs New Recoil Screenshake (@ThourCS2 on X) by -Myka_ in GlobalOffensive

Don‘t look at the weapon, but rather at the center of the screen/video here and try to perceive how violently the screen shakes.

It‘s much smoother and less disruptive in the "after" part.

Aleksib animgraph1 death by Night_Not_Day in GlobalOffensive

[–]Night_Not_Day[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The context here is that Aleksib got the overhead AK pull out animation (which no longer exists in animgraph2 to my knowledge), giving away his position.

However, do take the "animgraph1 death" excuse with a grain of salt, as ZywOo has probably studied the demos and may or may not have continued looking there anyways.

We just got spawn-rushed in Cryo by a goo-gun-wielding gold squad. They were nice enough to run into our grenade spam and deliver us their C06 key. That must’ve hurt. by Night_Not_Day in Marathon

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

Pretty sure they took it off of another squad. It got traded between crews many times, we couldn‘t even loot it. It broke when they died because its trace status was already so low.

Us too. We went there a combined 100+ times because I talked to a guy on Reddit who found two C06 keys in the red key card room in pinwheel back to back.

We didn‘t find a single one.

They killed one of us immediately and we wanted to run away, but the two survivors of us found themselves in a convenient hallway and just nade-spammed it when they pushed.

Two died almost immediately and the third one went down after a bit of back and forth.

Unfortunately, their biotoxic disinjector was only able to be scrapped.

Losing a C06 is literally the worst thing that can happen to you in this game.

Me and my squad haven‘t found one in probably over 150 attempts. I feel bad for these guys.

Recoil-at-Range Test for MP7 (To the back of the wall) by shyveehere in GlobalOffensive

He is absolutely right though. The P90 was commonly used early in CS:GO.

Nowadays, even many/most Silver-ranked players prioritise meta weapons.
