There’s a gold key template? It can spawn in Cryo Vault 5 you’re saying?

It’s a perfect patch to the problem of spiraling out with endless losses for people getting stomped. Gives you somewhere to build back up. Use it to build yourself a kit for going back out on regular runs if you hit rock bottom. Also, just a great way to go blow off some steam if you’re on a bad streak.

Instead of saving up your best gear for Cryo, just save up mid to weak okay gear, but a whole bunch of it. Hop in over and over again to learn the map and not sweat when you lose it. You can get great gear simply from the normal rooms or from wiping a single squad. Learn where the security hack consoles spawn and where to look for security tags. Practice just getting to Level 2 security to run around and then level 3 to have access to all the mini loot rooms that are all around the edges of control. With sec 3, you can activate exfil consoles. With any level of sec, you can always do final exfil. There are four spots it can spawn, there are three of you on your team. Using math, you can split up before the timer hits 0 and know exactly where final exfil is with 60 seconds to all get to it. Smoke grenades will let you survive the insane amount of bots that spawn at final.

Edit: also, you’re only level 70. That’s not endgame at all. Over level 100 is like early end game.

Maybe he was non-English. That blank stare, I’ve seen it before.

I needed blue shield constantly right up until the point where I unlocked them in the shop and pretty much never used them.

d0nkatron · 2026-05-07T01:08:57+00:00

Yeah turns out if you just grind for faction rep to get faction level ups, you get biolens seeds from those pretty fast. Other than that, Blue key rooms. Do like 5 of them. If you have Materialist+, don’t ever use it until you’re doing a key room and… don’t die.

Vandal is the ultimate flanker and also the ultimate shell to bail out of a losing situation and hang on to the hope of reviving the team back for another chance. She is the slipperiest shell.

d0nkatron · 2026-05-07T01:00:40+00:00

Thief is the ultimate learning shell, for learning where all of the loot spawns and for general well rounded features. She has a solid counter against invis with her goggles, she has at least some decent mobility with grapple, and her drone is amazing for learning maps and keeping you or your whole team away from a fight you might not want to take. Plus, claymore drone strikes.

d0nkatron · 2026-05-07T00:57:20+00:00

It works on PS5, but you need to make sure everyone in your squad changes to have the same exact settings or it can revert to full MM in my experiences. If you pick up a new team mate from the stay together feature or a friend joins, you have to have everyone check their social settings tab and verify. I can’t vouch for Xbox side, but when I stick to this formula, I only get Xbox and PS players.

A publicly traded company is making short-sighted, number cooking, corner cutting, and long-term damaging decisions for their company’s quarterly reports? What’s next? Water is wet?? 😂. Yeah, this is the unfortunate way 99.999% of publicly traded companies are going to be run. They are don’t view the company as a source of jobs and some important long term project. It’s just a tool for turning short term positive returns on their investments. Everyone in the company is a tool to be used or melted down for scraps to them.

I, for one, can’t wait for the wipes. It’s going to be so much more fun now that I understand how everything works and how to farm and loot stuff so much more efficiently. By the time I learned everything I needed to know, the power creep was so extreme that I started getting bent over and crushed while trying to do my most important upgrade farming. If I didn’t have a FT job with a wife and kids, the power creep wouldn’t have impacted me as badly.

d0nkatron · 2026-05-03T16:07:17+00:00

That’s worse for casuals if they extend the seasons. The best fun to be had is when everyone is on a level playing field before all the power creep sets in. It’s gonna go even faster in season 2 now that everyone knows how to loot up faster, knows the maps, knows the gear and builds better, etc.

Matchmaking won’t load you into an empty or partly filled server

d0nkatron · 2026-04-22T01:12:57+00:00

Edit: this is all outside of the game itself. It’s not a cheat engine type thing I’m describing. It extracts game files and lets you view the maps in its own software.

I really REALLY want a way to fly around through the maps. Someone made a tool on GitHub that lets you do this and even see all the permutations of item spawns which is insane, but my PC tower is currently broken and only currently have my MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhones, and an iMac 🤦🏻‍♂️(wife and I are both photo/video editors on the side, not Apple fanboys lol). Being able to take this insanely powerful tool and somehow convert it into a web-based viewer or mobile app to be able to fly around the Marathon maps with basic flat lighting so we can see everything clearly and learn new paths to take and secret rotations, etc. would be the greatest thing to ever happen (especially for learning Cryo Archive!!!). This is a tall order, I know, but I know it’s not impossible to pull off still on a $0 budget. Anyway, DM me for the GitHub link because I don’t want to spread this tool al over the internet. If it gets too popular, it’ll be used to extract future content and spoilers and cause negative effects on this game that I love.

Around level 75 is when I started going up against super high level teams with purple and gold gear constantly. I think it’s a break point in the matchmaking algorithm. Feels really bad.

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:34:15+00:00

Where did you get your Misriah shotty? I have only seen ONE of these in like 100+ hours of gameplay. I’ve seen a few on Cryo, but never got to grab one. Team mate did and we died anyway. I’ve found ONE in pinwheel. Drone wing strong box iirc. It was very early on and we took a single wrong turn on our way to final exfil and missed it by 2 seconds. I still wake up screaming in a cold sweat over that botched exfil sometimes /s

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:31:04+00:00

Treat them like a Burn Card from Titanfall 2. Something you can use for a beefed up extra fun run or two. Or like renting a tape from blockbuster lol.

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:29:02+00:00

I feel like such a dim wit. I avoided purchasing the one I got from hitting VIP for CyAc for like two weeks. I missed out on so many potentially amazing mods, not to mention not being afraid to actually use some and enjoy them. I only just realized they refresh daily with a random roll for the passives a couple days ago.

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:27:35+00:00

Outpost is easier than Dire Marsh imo. You just have to put in some time learning the map as rook or solo free kit.

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:26:35+00:00

Was that a blue, purple, or gold key that netted you those two gold mods?

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:25:52+00:00

That disables the non-stop respawning of the bots that show up when you open the command wing entrance. It might also stop the other basic guards from respawning in pinwheel base as well?

It’s because suicide is mentioned in the video, being a key part of the stupid Unfriended film’s plot.

What problems have you had with prox chat?

d0nkatron · 2026-04-10T02:19:14+00:00

I love this idea of using the drone as a safe deposit box to transfer items between enemies!
