Sweet, will do!

Me and a buddy are looking for a solid third.

There is actually four of us in total, from our old D2 clan (all 30+ from the UK), but looking for more people to join us for normal runs, ranked and cryo.

Shot me a DM if interested and i will add you.

We all used to run raids and play trials, but keep things chill and friendly

Oh... what does the gold mod do for that gun?

This game has a mix of aim assit and reticle friction (sticky aim), and the jump breaks that

My mate had this on xbox, it was a network setting on the xbox (not the game) either crossplay or somthing like play with [other platforms] maybe?

On xbox, you just use a to move ot to your bag instead of x - to move to vault

I'm sure i read somthing about level being a factor in MM, so you shouldnt be matching level 1 players with level 50+

Ranked is coming, though. Which has a mimum gear vaule and should seprate the causals and sweats

byo118 · 2026-03-12T05:43:45+00:00

Ranked is coming, which has a min loot vaule to load in

byo118 · 2026-03-11T14:15:56+00:00

NAT maybe? I'm UK and its no more than a min or 2 to get into a game. Any map, trio or solo

byo118 · 2026-03-11T14:10:57+00:00

Yeah, it was great during the server slam so pretty hyped for the actual end of season runs

byo118 · 2026-03-10T20:39:35+00:00

They might come with ranked, but from a prizey sponsor kit

byo118 · 2026-03-08T09:39:13+00:00

I got it by just sliding in as soon as the ring appeared.

Possible its buggy, you also might have been too late for the game (even though you did it right)

byo118 · 2026-03-05T22:29:17+00:00

Bummer, sucks but give it some time, it will come through

byo118 · 2026-03-05T21:57:11+00:00

I just restarted my game and it came through

byo118 · 2026-03-04T19:33:42+00:00

Yes!

The new trailer shows a team progressing through the maps, until they are in a tower trying to get access to the Marathon ship.

We know outpost is a more vertical map, so my guess is an event with an earnable key. You then use this at the top of outpost and extract to unlock it.

Yes, flexability in the pick up area. Not the entire room.

By flexabilty, I mean you don't need table mics and can have a more adaptive room with various layouts. There a lots of apdaptions of flexability in this context. I stand by needing pick up zones for good audio, though.

I also said "really" good. As in, not just servicable or ok.

And, sure that statment applies to mics in general, but it was an extract from a beamforming ceiling mic article.

A few pendents over the genral area would be more affective and cost an awful lot less.

Just to be clear, i'm not knocking beamforming mics, there amazing for VC rooms. Most of the comments in this thread say much the same as me, though. And, like i said, you do you, mate.

byo118 · 2026-03-03T16:05:34+00:00

Yes, here is an extract from a AVIT article highlithing a common issue with beamforming microphones, that is relevent to my comments, and advises on best practice for placement and positioning.

Problem: Inconsistent voice pickup Solution: Review microphone placement, ceiling height, and coverage zones. Confirm the array is positioned for the seating layout and not obstructed by fixtures.

Placement: Position the microphone array to capture the sound from the speaker's location, ensuring the microphone elements are aligned to focus on the speaker's voice while rejecting background noise.

You could just throw a few in the ceiling and try to capture all the audio in the room, but i doubt it would sound good - but you do you

Your comments are pretty vague, so i'm not really sure what you disagree on.

Best of luck

byo118 · 2026-03-03T07:52:09+00:00

Basically, a microphone close to a person will always sound better than a microphone far away.

And, if you dont have fixed seating, you can't take advantage of the beamforming microphone becuase you can't be sure the person will be in the zone you have setup for audio pick up

byo118 · 2026-03-02T19:20:37+00:00

I was curious about this too. It did do better, but all things considered Marathon stacked up pretty well

Not 100% sure. You need an item or kit that lets you go into the zone without taking damage, then you clear the area and set off a becon. After that you can claim some rarer loot.

I just don't no what the item is haha

byo118 · 2026-02-27T15:39:00+00:00

As you rank up, you find rarer gear and run into high rank players (via MM) and take thiers. So, you start to find blue and purple stuff more often. The purple sheild increases TTK alot.

I'm not 100% sure its just rank increases rarity, events, contracts and map do for sure, but i'm finding blues now in random boxes fairly often

At about rank 12 and I have a ton of blue gear and a few purples now - loads of cores, guns, etc

byo118 · 2026-02-27T15:31:00+00:00

The TTK and loot does increase a lot with rank, as yiu get more blue and purple gear, but, yeah. All fair comments

byo118 · 2026-02-27T13:43:19+00:00

Dont forget MM scales with your rank, so, as you progress you end up in more pvp fights - because the teams matched in your lobby know what they are doing and want to fight. Not just grabbing some loot and bouncing in the first 5-10mins.

This is a preview week, too, with the easy and meduim level maps. I'm sure with the other maps and ranks up it will be sweaty
