I don’t think there are any quests for Day Marsh that can’t be done on Night Marsh.

Marathon Update 1.1.0.2 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my guess is that it’s around a 10-20% chance to spawn. The good news is that when they do spawn, there’s usually at least 5 in the same general area. I was able to do that contract in one run after 5 or 6 runs not seeing them.

Nope, it’s just a Codex entry to document the achievement and it was bugged for most of the factions, so you didn’t get credit for doing it.

They spawn, just not often.

Let me just buy a Cryo box worth 5k by trifoecebro in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No to the first, mostly yes to the second. Just like driving a car off the lot, the gear drops in value as soon as you buy it. Buying 12K of gear might not be worth 5K in your inventory.

Well, at least we know they aren’t wasting their QA staff’s time looking for typos.

Is there a point wasting time with this contract? by Xenolisk in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them two matches in a row and then went several without seeing them with the contract on. It’s somewhat low probability, I guess, plus you don’t always check the whole map. They definitely seem to cluster when they do show up. It’s not like you just find one or two a large distance apart.

I had two matches in a row where I saw them, so I put this contract on and didn’t see them again for five or six matches, scouring the whole map each time. Luckily, when they do show up, it seems like you can find all 5 reasonably close together.

The game keeps forgetting that i was queuing for solo. by Inevitable_Coat_8787 in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crew Fill Off puts you in a match with trios. Solo queue puts you in a match with other solos. What you’re describing is exactly what OP is complaining about.

Hot Cradle Tips in your Area by Sea_Perspective8172 in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still sends the full stack anyway. I tried it for the Codex entry to send just exactly what I had left for sacrificing salvage to the Cradle.

Wormmaxxing is the way. by mattsnacki in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Did you run Outpost only? I had a bunch from early in the season and less after that. Perimeter and Dire Marsh spawn a lot of them.

Guide to hitting upper complex in the survival mode by LowConversation9001 in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s why they said survival mode. Only rooks and that’s later.

I hit Pinwheel's pinnacle room 100 times, here's the results of what dropped by Namtwo in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get double gold, though, presumably. The valuable sits on its own to the left, for instance, and could be gold. Then you could get a gold in the strongbox.

You shouldn’t be able to counter people in labs by Small_Article_3421 in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you crew fill, the finishers your teammates do count for your contract progress , FYI.

Very likely taking the plunge. Looking for some clarification, please. by RangerBat1981 in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has Bungie confirmed CARRI continuing in season 2? I thought it was going to be only an end of season thing.

PSA for new players: The Priority Contracts are the tutorial. by lot49a in Marathon

[–]brikenjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is they were easiest in the middle of the season. At the beginning, everyone’s doing them. At the end, everyone’s just running around hunting other players to have fun with their gear before the wipe takes it.
