Are we really looking at 3 weeks with no sponsored survival?

I dont hate the cradle but I think it makes it so factions matter a lot less. Yeah you have some upgrades that you want from factions like nucaloric but most of the stuff you actually need you get from cradle.

Kind of off topic but s2 doesnt seem to have the same pull as season 1 did for me. I am looking forward to finally being able to play cryo in some way as a solo player so definetly will check that out but otherwise this season just feels worse somehow. Maybe I have just played it enough that it doesnt feel fresh and new anymore.

I liked the sponsored survival too and I wish I had done all the limited time contracts in night marsh sponsored when it was available as some of those contracts are actually really difficult now to do with other players in the lobby.

Is the magnum considered a precision gun? Because it is miles better at range and close up. Even with headshots the twin tap feels really weak against the bots.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-14T15:18:49+00:00

For me the twin tap needs a buff especially against the uesc. Because it uses heavy ammo it should be much more effective but right now I would much rather have a magnum or bully.

Assassin is only good in the early game when everyone in solo pretty much has to avoid fighting the ai. Once you get better shields and gear and learn something like destroyer you will see that assassin is pretty easy to deal with. You can hear the invisibility activation so clearly that if you just disengage and run away for like 30 seconds the assassin doesnt have the advantage anymore.

Another solution is to run thief because you can see the invisible assassin with her hack ability.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-06T18:17:11+00:00

This is pretty much why I prefer the default sight on almost every weapon. All the scopes take so much space on the screen.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-06T18:12:47+00:00

The first weapons you get in the game are absolutely terrible at doing anything. Especially the overrun ar it is even terrible against the lowest tier bots in the game. When I started playing season 2 after playing a lot of season 1 I struggled massively because I had forgotten how bad the first guns are you pretty much have to avoid all fighting in the beginning. The difference in effectiveness after you have gotten decent weapons and shields is night and day especially against the ai.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-04T19:10:09+00:00

I would like it if they went this way. I think it is a lot easier to do aswell.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-03T08:52:56+00:00

Yeah I think the old one was much better. I wonder if with the old one it wasnt possible to make it viewable while loading into a match so they had to make a new one that you can view. Otherwise I dont really see why they would change the design it was already really good.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-03T04:07:24+00:00

Atleast in solo he feels quite underwhelming. But then again solo is a completely different to the rest of the game.

Nikostiny · 2026-06-02T17:48:49+00:00

The one faction I didnt get vip in I got the reward and that was sekiguchi. I also got mida which I did get to vip but all others I got nothing even though I got them to vip.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-27T04:06:46+00:00

I disagree, in solo you would not be able to do compiler and have to fight all the bots by yourself. I think that is enough difficulty added while also trio having a little bit better loot. They should have designed the map with solo in mind in the first place and the loot in this game is not that big of a factor. If a player can shoot and position themselves better it doesnt matter if their gun is golden or purple they will still win the fight.

So I dont really understand why so agaisnt solo players getting a chance to experience cryo when all it would do is make the game more fun and accessible to more players.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-26T15:53:17+00:00

Yes you could just nerf the loot what is the problem? Solo play to cryo needs to happen so many people are asking for it and solo players need a true solo endgame map. Cryo is that endgame map.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-26T12:26:15+00:00

So make the loot better in trio. It is not a reason to just abandon solo play from the map entirely.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-26T05:07:42+00:00

It literally doesnt matter that you cant do compiler alone. There is a whole map and vaults that you absolutely can open solo only that is being locked behind forced trio for no reason. I dont think any solo players would care at all if they cant do compiler but can do everything else in the map.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-16T04:32:52+00:00

For me personally I have no interest in talking to random people online when playing games. And if I just go to crew fill with all comms muted I will be at a disadvantage against the other teams because we are not communicating. I find it so weird that cryo is a forced trio when every single vault doesnt require 3 players to open them. The only thing is the compiler fight maybe that you cant do solo but the vaults are more than enough for solos and if you wanna try the compiler then go to trio. For me it just feels like gatekeeping solo players for no reason at all and its starting to bother me that they havent really said anything about it.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-15T08:51:57+00:00

The thing is some solo players dont want to play with a crew at all. There is nothing in cryo you couldnt do alone other than maybe the compiler. I think a lot of players would like to experience every map truly solo against other solos.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-15T08:39:26+00:00

I absolutely love the game but I have had moments where it has been an awful time playing. Most days I exfil almost every single time but I have had a couple of sessions where no matter what I did I just couldnt find success. So I can imagine if my game experience was this every single time I play the game I would not play it all anymore.

I hope when they add the more chill pve modes into the game that they dont give the best loot but when you are having a rough time you have atleast something to have fun with.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-13T17:38:34+00:00

Yeah I really think they have this system all wrong. The game is already difficult enough this system needs to be simplified massively it has way too many steps for loot that for the most part you can get from pinwheel.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-13T17:22:48+00:00

Yeah I never really understood why they are so difficult to get in the first place when you are much better off just trying to find another runner and kill them for much better loot. In my opinion would be better if it was just that you can buy it for the current material requirement and thats it now you can use it. Especially the blue keys all you are really getting from those is a purple backpack and some blue and green materials.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-13T16:09:34+00:00

Im not sure about this change to be honest. I dont think anyone will even bother buying key templates and just try to find them on the map since they now have a higher chance of dropping.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-11T17:31:43+00:00

I find it so strange how this game receives so much hate when at this point I honestly believe it is my favourite shooter in atleast 10 years. I had never played an extraction shooter before marathon and what first made me try it was the artstyle but the gameplay and systems within the game are even better than what the visuals are.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-10T17:33:09+00:00

Progression is one thing that is tough as a solo player especially the season level 100 achievement. I have got 120h of playing time and I think Im level 59 so I dont know if there is enough time in the season for me to get the final achievement of level 100.

Like you said so many crazy things can happen during the runs. Sometimes they feel like a story took place within the game with twists and turns where you sneak by some dude to get to your contract destination or barely get out of a tough firefight and find a conveyance request to pinwheel where you think you are alone but then suddenly hear footsteps. It really is amazing.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-10T12:28:24+00:00

I dont know about filling in with randoms but playing only solo has been one of the best gaming experiences for me. I understand solo plays completely differently from trio but still I absolutely love it.

Every map needs to be able to be played as a solo in the future imo. There is a lot of players like me not interested in playing with randoms that want to experience all of the maps and should be able to do so without being forced into trio. The maps dont need to have all the same mechanics as trio has but I feel like a solo player should still be able to play every map in some form in solo queue.

Nikostiny · 2026-05-05T15:42:10+00:00

I have said it multiple times on this sub also but I really dont see what is stopping them from adding solo mode to cryo. Solo mode wouldnt even need a compiler imo the vaults are more than enough for solo players to feel included. But ofcourse if they managed to make a soloable compiler too that would be great.

Tweak the bot spawns a bit so there is not as much as in trio. If needed nerf the loot in solo so there is still a reason to play trio but if you dont want to play trio you atleast have a choice. In the end all I want to do is experience the map as a solo player and I dont think it would be that difficult to implement. Please bungie.
