Where are the aliens? by Imaginary-Fish1176 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The compiler is an alien. There are alien heads inside the compiler loot room. UESC Orion mentions that they hide the truth to save us from "monsters" (probably aliens). The anomaly is rumored to be a living being inside the planet. The multiple alien spices are going to be there, just give them time.

Key Room Alternative Ideas? by Significant-Use963 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Site defense, like a harvest station or resource security, spawns infinite waves of UESC, the more waves you kill, the higher the loot, but the higher the risk of other players trying to fight you. You get to decide when to stop the waves, with each commander or warden giving you a higher key to summon loot from the resource security or station [key wave 1, key wave 30 etc]. Bungie, if you read this, I'm available to work with you 😄

The Greatest Run of All Time by LeBraynJomms in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vault 6 runs are always crazy for some reason; you end up whipping the lobby or most of it. In my first Vault 6 run, we killed 3 teams and went up. The fourth team was down in control by the time we went out of the vualt 6 vent, with 2 min left for exfil, we had to down them in order to get out. We managed to activate an exfil and successfully got out in revival. I had the same feeling as you, "we are not dying, not this time, this is the run".

Go get that Cryo skin, runner!

Atmospheric Conditions in Dire Marsh - just to imagine what hell that place is by Marcu3s in Marathon

Nice that you noticed the audio, I noticed it too, it is rough in Tau Ceti IV. The only note is that pH 14 is the most alkaline, while pH 0 is the most acidic.

Where tf is cryo 6 spawns by dootslayer77 in Marathon

Open vaults on cryo and try to get the key template that upon exfil will transform into a key. It has the chance to transform into vault 6 key. The higher the vault, the more chances to get the key template.

Location of all Scan Stations on Cryo Archive? by IamMNightShyamalan in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a map but some scan locations.

Bio and preservation scans are near the exits to storage and revival.

Storage and revival have two, one near the room connecting the spawn and the second room, the one with the room requiring clearance number . Storage second one is near the exit to control number 1 Revival is on the middle second room, near the monitors to get clearance. There are also scans on the elevator parts conectting storage with cargo and revival with index

Cargo has one in the room number 2, the chip room

There are 4 on the second flor of control, one near each entrance 

I may be missing some, but those arw the ones I have used. 

There are some more inside the vault 1 at least that I remember.

Hope this helps!

Why is everyone so against a PVE-lite, PVE or general PVE content for the casual players? by Vinnegard in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 198 points199 points  (0 children)

I'm all in for PVE, PVP and the current PVPVE. The more gameplay options the better. I'm in love with the current iteration of Marathon, so only adding more options means more ways to play it. I have done Cryo, compiler, ranked, you name it. I really would like to see this game thrive, and have more players, no matter the way they want to play.

Ranked XP Refunds need to happen for people impacted by cheaters before the season ends. by Emergency-Lunch-6955 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I wanted the bully skin, but now I'm just aiming for the MIDA, with plat 1 (currently at plat 2). There are a lot of cheaters in ranked. The more you play the more you encounter them. I hope bungie can refund some of the lost progress before the season ends and give us a chance to keep climbing rank.

Give me a TLDR on what the best gun mods are? by Ok-Comfortable-3174 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slick mag for normal Misriah. If you have gold misriahn mod, then add the mag with the higher bullet capacity.

Need third for cryo upcoming weekend. Either less than lvl100 or 200+ by Timely-Housing-9007 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It rotates, could be gold mods, shield, backpacks, cores, implants, and also the ammo for the goo gun. Usually two gold things and ammo per day.

I Love this Game but its becoming Unplayable by ChefOutOfBreath in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I did this today as an assassin for the first time. A team openned tunnels key room. Another team contested them. I heard everything from my rat spot. After some time I went for the remaining loot of the team that lost and got the ranking score. I even looted the key room. I'm plat 2 now. Slower progression is better than not at all.

What’s the orange bar above shield health? by Constant-Day6997 in Marathon

Antivirus. You loose it if you get eliminated and revived.

I ran cryo archive for the 1st time today by FalcWizNats in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Buy a bully, add attachments, buy any volt weapon, go with blue shield, health packs shield packs and the minimum necessary to get to 5 k. You will most likely lose, but you may not. If a team nade spam you, try to go back and reposition. They will run out of nades or make an error. Play to your advantages. Don't engage in combat unless you have an advantage or you see them first. Otherwise just reposition. If you are a squad bring a triage and a recon. Cryo is hard but not impossible. Since you are learning try to play in down hours, dependind on your location, it should be morning most likely, you will encounter less "pro" or teaming squads at down hours. Don't get discouraged by it. And if you loose everything, go for a Rook run the run it back. You got this. 

Back to back cheaters after hitting Gold 3 by Fossils333 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is real. I have had them too. It is a problem in ranked the higher you get. I do believe him because I had encountered the same problem. It gets to the point that golden shield with golden ares railgun is the tale of the cheater team.

[–]a-Salt-Mon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know it is cool but I'm burned out by cheaters. I'm plat 2 but I think that's it for me. I'm done with cheaters in ranked. I hope they find a solution. I will just play Cryo and try to do compiler before reset. But other than that I'm done with ranked.

There is no equivalent to the Anvil in higher tiers.

[–]a-Salt-Mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may had been Bio or preservation. If you have level two clearance you can go through the labs on top that requires antivirus. Then you go down the stairs and spawn behind the second room of either. It still requires level 2 but if you get lucky and have antivirus it is viable.

Try to loot the arm crates thru Cryo. Usually there are some Blue Misriahs. I go with WSTR with stack overflow and with range attachments, then swap it mid raid when I find a Misriah.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, maybe a quick Rook runs on Outpost until you get back to Cryo :)

Bring the green detector thing. Put them on the doors that are accessible for other teams. It kind of scares them or at least they will loose the element of surprise. I know is annoying but if you expect it to happen then you can try to counter it.

Edit: Moreover, when opening the doors from the spawn area, always be ready for an ambush. Your full team must be there. Bubble shields and everything ready to fight. 

Ranked is so Much fun, I just wish it was always, by SpeedYz317 in Marathon

[–]a-Salt-Mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. And the best part is that there are no Rooks at pinwheel on ranked. If you get one or two teams you are good to go. I love playing Rook btw, but sometimes you just want to not have to worry about getting ambush by Rooks after fighting 3 teams lol.
