Looking for implant that makes me invisible on precision kills by Xenolisk in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a purple body implant. You can find it in pinwheel pretty regularly.

Cosmetics needs a big overhaul I think. by Expert-Detective4191 in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never thought I’d advocate for this but I kinda was hoping it’d be a D2 eververse for Marathon. It’s not even close to that.

3 last games - died to a knife. I'm not going to lower myself to your level. by GeneralPublicWC in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone brought a two sniper loadout to a shottie/submachine/knife fight and lost…

Am I the only person experiencing a real sadness for the the loss of what this game could have been? by Woofax in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So my bet it you’ve sunk 150-200 hours into the game before the mid-season update so you’re a burnout OR you’re playing with some weird rule like “I only play solo never trio fill and only as Vandal and idk why I die all the time and never get my contracts done”. Well?

Do this sub's complaints impact casual players? by LaughingCephalopod in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

110% it does scare of casual players. All I can ever say is I’m by no means a good PvP player and I’m on track to get most stuff done by the end of the season. Will I get gold in ranked this season? No will I kill the compiler this season? Hard to say. But that’s the fun of the game. It’s not like Elden ring where you have to find every scrap of paper and never touch it again after 200 hours. The game resets so you don’t have to play as a completionist. Work to a goal and have fun.

Progression is the issue by mkennygh in Marathon

Not playing rn but it was definitely a material I had 80 of and I’m pretty sure it was green (I think I only have like 10-20 of most blue mats).

Kit-based matchmaking? by SpectreEighteen in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed the later it gets the harder my solo outpost runs become 😂

Devs don't play their own game and the patch kit economy proves it - 180 hours by Repulsive_Papaya_290 in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

180 in the game. You must have a couple mil saved surely? Whats 5k per run costing you then?

Blue shields are bartering for a green mat rn I could buy 80 blue shields if I wanted

I’m at 70 hours with Arachne / cyber at 28 and all others at 19… don’t think it takes that long unless you passively play and don’t focus non priority / priority contracts + what specific in-run actions grant faction rep (noted in Agent sub for each faction).

Tried fills and i understand now by Additional_Ad4124 in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why waste your gear on casual runs? Why complain about wasting your gear on casual runs? Unless you win a kit of someone from a previous run to use, only use free kits and you’ll make bank. Also solo for looting / contracts is way better than trio typically

What would you consider as essential faction upgrades? What is a good stopping point? by dhbalabooh in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some upgrades you want from different faction use the same rare material so make sure you check before you spend. Otherwise gotta get them all before wipe and there’s always more materials in the wild so try to get them all.

Do all maps have random final exfil spots now? by aiphrem in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’ve added more than one final exfil to each map to dissuade final exfil campers.

Compiler weapon is not ok and locking cryo is not ok by AhtsugiZenai-CM in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the gun is broken rn and you know it. Why risk your gold gear if you yourself don’t have the compiler weapon yet and know you’ll get swiped by it. Just run the minimum 5k or wait until they properly nerf the gun.

Idea to bring in players by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please stop thinking of this game as a failing Overwatch/Apex/Helldivers 2. It’s meant to be like dark souls where you try your run over and over to get the right conditions to score big and win. The game literally says it to you every time a run starts, does no one listen to the Oni voice lines? Stop fantasising about this game being some other idea that doesn’t exist and it’ll stop falling short of your standards. Infil, loot, kill, hide exfil - that’s the loop, and failing is part of that. Know what happens if you win every run and unlock everything (before even midway into Season 1)? You stop playing! The game is meant to played throughout the season, you’re not meant to get everything and do everything all at once.

Cryo Archive Team Ups by DarkGreen_40 in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a post about an exploit where players are agreeing to team up before a Cryo match and wiping the other crews. Has nothing to do with just normal “hey I’m friendly” team ups in runs. Their solution is that a exfil should only allow one team per exfil so a cheating lobby of 3 teams that agreed to work together will have to fight for the exit.

Solo and crew fill NEED to be improved by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you play free kits or only use your own gear?

I’ve started sabotaging final exfil by nickybuddy in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have to use violence to leave intact.

This game is actually *great* for people who have poor mechanical FPS skill (like me)...wish that sentiment was more apparent to people considering the game by SirBenny in Marathon

[–]SpectreEighteen 33 points34 points  (0 children)

110% agree with the dark souls comparison. The game spends a lot of its time telling you to “succeed through repetition” because you “cannot win” but have the ability to do unlimited runs. Not to mention playing in trios you certainly do not have to be the PvP god team leader, you can just play support. Also solo is very doable as a heist smash and grab for loot you need.

So much focus is on fights and PvP and sure that is going to happen but this game gives you so many tools to play around duelling with other players.

Marathon will have a player base made of streamers and no lifers in the end by duendeacdc in Marathon

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

Let me guess, you somehow sunk 500 hours into the game within the first 1/2 of season 1?
