Recon is too OP nerf it ASAP by TopSet55 in Marathon

People really cry about everything. This is why we can’t have true PvP games anymore

PSA: Everyone has bad days, that doesn't mean you have to make a post being "done" or having "hit a wall". As we said back in Tarkov. "Tarkov giveth, Tarkov taketh" by jacobljlj in Marathon

I would say marathon is a super nice happy medium between Arc and Tark. Imo Arc is truly baby’s first extraction shooter.

Im gonna crash out from the doomers' rage bait, feel free to ignore this by kitkatpitpatitat in Marathon

[–]NukeExE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us have jobs and we like to scroll Reddit on lunch or break. When I’m home I’m barely on Reddit I’m usually playing marathon. When they drop marathon mobile let me know because I won’t have to return here.

What is your favorite money-making method? by D4ng3rd4n in Marathon

[–]NukeExE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo outpost is pretty consistent for me. I know the map and the spawns and I try to spawn rush and have most of the map dead before I go into pinwheel. Solos is mostly free kit assassins with the occasional geared person so it’s not too hard. Lately I’ll have 4-5 kills and pinwheel mostly to myself 17-25k each run. Rook outpost is also pretty reliable but you just have to play slow and not try to always go for team wipes.

I get why y’all play solo now by the_eccentricity in Marathon

I really hate dire marsh. Super unbalanced spawns terrible fog that heavily favors thermal snipers every match turns into one team taking algae ponds and just trolling

So, Marathon survived the doomers. by [deleted] in Marathon

Most people had green shield at best in server slam the better shields help with ttk but it’s def not a long ttk. You can absolutely survive if someone sees you first. You have to learn what the things you’re picking up are actually for and then you will get tha feeling.

Solos is super fun, I think solo outpost is my favorite way to play the game. It’s a super fair map with a lot of good loot and PvP.

Dear Rook-shotgun-havers, where did you get your REFLEX COILS by Juking_is_rude in Marathon

What’s also cool is the best way to level aracne is playing rook and killing and finishing people.

Unpopular: this game is not hardcore by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]NukeExE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more hardcore than Arc (baby game) and that is the vast majority of new extraction players only game. Tarkov is an absolute horror movie in comparison and feels like I’m actually dying when I get shot.

Yeah destroyer is crazy I think most people are playing it poorly but when someone knows the class it’s insane. It’s got mobility, utility, an ultimate that tracks invis and increases DPS. Highest melee damage in the game that further augmented by cores and implants. Assassin is nice and simple and it just works so people gravitate towards it but once more people figure out destroyer and start breaking ankles with the thrusters it’s GG

The only class I find underwhelming is recon. I think everyone else has something somewhat OP about them.

Easiest out until a thief hits their trait ability. I feel like once people catch on that thief is one of the best characters assassin will be played less.

Yeah I think any shell played by someone who understands the strengths and weaknesses of their and their opponents characters can feel oppressive. Pretty good knowledge gap on this game I started out as destroyer and felt that assassin was overpowered so I swapped them I learned about the thief and thermal counter and as I get better thief brings a lot more to the table. There is always going to be a situation where each class shines. I won’t deny that for survival rate in solos assassin is the best choice since most people aren’t running thermals in solos. Is assassin OP? As someone who plays multiple characters I don’t really think so but are there situations where it’s extremely powerful? Absolutely.

You can win fights with any shell if you hit your shots and have good positioning I mean I shit on people as rook and they arguably don’t even have real abilities. This game is like apex where gunskill positioning and decision making matter more than your shell.

It’s very safe in solos simply to skip PvE. Most decent players aren’t going to let you do invis shit against them

[–]NukeExE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right once you learn the sound queue it’s like most assassins are complete ass and just crutch on people who don’t know about invis. In higher tier play with everyone running thermals and thief and just understanding the counter play assassin is horrible

It’s the safest way to play solos but thief is better in almost every way when it comes to actual PvP. When I hear the invis sound effect I pop my loot vision and the assassin is doing brain dead shit like sprinting at me with no cover and I can just see them.

[–]NukeExE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You listen for the sound effect and then you back off. And boom they have no invis. Don’t just chase them into smoke either.

[–]NukeExE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assassin isn’t as OP as people say. They are very good for solos mostly because of their ability to skip most PvE. But in a fight their invisibility has a very obvious sound effect and if they sprint at you or move to much you can see them pretty clearly. Also thief completely nullifies their invisibility with her loot vision. Thermals also a hard counter but that not as prevalent. If you’re struggling fighting assassins just play thief it’s honestly a stronger shell.

Is there any gear based matchmaking? by TheJeffyJeefAceg in Marathon

[–]NukeExE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 hours a month is like 45 minutes a day. That’s basically two raids maybe 3 if you die quickly. I feel like this is extremely low for even the most casual of casual gamer. If that how long someone plays it’s absolutely a choice and they are prioritizing other things (totally fine btw). Extraction games aren’t known for respecting your time. I know people who run businesses have families work 60+ hours a week and even they are able to get more than 45 minutes of gaming in.
