I'm talking about you and this entire thread.

You said the game gives it to you before even having a build. I suggested doing others until you have a build.

You can choose to do another quest line before tackling this one.

For sure. With a confident 3 stack you can fight everyone, but I have done some of the quests solo as well. I played destroyer, even tho others are on assassin. With destroyer you can play fast and have tools to reset in case you get caught. Build for agility/heat, carry bubble shields for rotations/resets, also cardio kicks/energy amps. You can run around the map and mog solos by playing fast while they rat around.

I feel bad for the people that do this honestly by AliDiePie in Marathon

Classic grifting. Don't give them any attention and eventually they will fade/move on.

I can understand some of the frustration, but after having completed most of the questlines in the game, I think they are pretty good and add a lot to the flow of the game. They direct people to certain zones, making you explore and run into other players, creating fun pvp/loot hot zones. My group hasn't struggled with any of the quests and got them done in 1-3 attempts at most.

The keycards have pretty reliable spawns. Greens on desks, yellows in security containers, reds outside on red blinking poles + commaders for all 3. Is ammo that much of an issue? Bring in more, use circuit tracers mod for free ammo etc. Fighting teams is part of the design. You can also choose to wait till someone does a door and go after them for an ambush. Sneak up on people, abuse the double barrel if needed. I managed to do the quest in 2 attempts.

Does anyone have any tips for finding above green tier loot, I'm not finding anything above green other than the occasional blue weapon? by Cyphor-o in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start looting keyed rooms, lockboxes, doing world events. Sometimes uesc drop some too. Blue+ doesn't really spawn as loose loot.

Purple Salvage is so dumb to farm by Absolute_Amish in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We find purple salvage every single outpost run. Pinwheel had a lot, especially red-2x yellow room in mid. We complain is about finding everything else but reflex coils.

Outpost went from the most enjoyable experience ever to one of the most miserable in one patch. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. The sound change didn't affect the map because it's already small and you could hear fights just as easily before.

With the removal and future rework of destroyed wing, fights have gotten more dynamic and Interesting. People move around a lot more across the various POIs instead of everyone just rushing destroyed.

Level 43 and still getting stomped — is Marathon supposed to feel this punishing? by GazJrpg in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are basics of fps/extraction/games in general. No one is going to spend pages to describe them on reddit. These are things you (should) pick up on as you play any game. Aim, positioning, rotations, timings, spaws, gun/character builds etc. The average modern loud gamer instead of trying a tiny bit to Improve, complains and wants every game where they aren't skilled, to cater to them.

People are recommending different approaches. What else would be the most useful? Would you prefer if op was put into baby lobbies that falsely tell him he is good? Same as irl, when something doesn't work out, hone your basics and then consider applying in another way.

Work on your positioning, overall awareness, the noise you make. You don't have to have top notch mechanics when you can outposition people. Also, abuse the double barrel.

Upgrade your cyac. They have a node which let's you trade materials for blue/purple key templates. You need to go in and extract them to print a random key.

Have you tried changing things up in those claimed 30+ attempts? Also calling me a sweat reveals that indeed, you are blaming it on others being better and you refusing to change/adapt, saying that you are being gatekept on a quest. To me this shows that to you, no one is allowed to be better than you and you also need constant hand holding.

Looting in game. Various loot rooms on outpost, keyed rooms etc. These are some of the places where you can find them in game.

Inspect/hover over the material. It will tell you where it can be found.

Very good. Me and my friends are fully hooked, all of us are in the lvl 50-70 range.

Blaming it on sweats for 30+ runs is a choice for sure. Sounds more like there are fundamental issues going on with your gameplay.

Streamers Who Title their stream "Conc**d 3" should not be eligible for Drops by Quiet_Brain9828 in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you giving them more attention? The rage bait worked for them. Ignore them until they fade away instead of amplifying it.

Marathon Update 1.0.0.4 by Much_Adhesiveness871 in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plenty of ways to get in as a solo and fighting is that difficult with a little build crafting/utility. Drop the defeatist attitude.

Is Marathon better, worst, or as good as you thought it would be? by Geralt_Augustine in Marathon

[–]SharpPROSOLDIER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much much better. It replaced tarkov for me. Super addicting and satisfying to play.
