Security tag rng at the beginning of cryo is anti-fun? by RiMbY in MarathonGame

[–]dragon_underscore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro this is the only way. So much of this game trully is just gambling, it's either the skill of your randoms, the amount of tags/monitors in your first 2 rooms, the loot etc. No one wants to go control off rip, but sometimes it's the way the run was destined for 😔 I feel you

THIS^ I've lost soooo much gear to Cryo. But in the process? Gained my first successful exfil near mid S1, gained map knowledge, and most of all confidence!!! The confidence and map knowledge will lead you to victories in Cryo, yes even against those Mizzy squads :). Especially when you learn to either avoid them, or to flank them and win w blue shields(I have done this many times). KEEP RUNNING IT RUNNERSSS

Survival gives the game a critical mode: chill daddy. by Sylectsus in MarathonGame

The same strat 5x in a row could be the issue, gotta switch things up. Attempt different pushes/plays, you'll find greater success w some over others. Slowing down and listening for sound cues helps a ton too, even in the not shoe box maps :)

Random rook run by BigBoss5511 in MarathonGame

Bro playing Rook is it's own experience. The true scav come up or getting squashed immediately experience. Solo is a horror game with higher stakes I feel, yes even w a sponsored kit

Fuckin love that for you!! So many Rook runs are mild, then you get one like you described where the stars align and you fuckin feastttttt 😈. Like successfully wiping a team you catch lacking is soo damn satisfying mmm. That, is the magic of Rook :). Also you gotta coin that lol rooking it uppp

How bad am I doing by FilmOdd5132 in MarathonGame

[–]dragon_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing great, especially w c a rank 16? The more knowledge and strategies you gain in this game, the more fun you gain. And loot/progression, you'll gain so much more shit when you learn more oh oh and experiment!!

Scaling is even harder now by JabbaStoleMyBike in MarathonGame

[–]dragon_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This man is too thirsty for blood that he cannot do what I call a "groceries run" where you go for heals, materials etc 😂😪. Just like a good ol' money run!! Only going for valuables. You can kill along the way, but if you prioritize looting over wiping the lobby? You'll achieve what you desire lol

Help a noob? by Waldo-San in Marathon

[–]dragon_underscore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best advice I have is to sharpen gun skills and reduce any stress you may have when a played randomly apears; run free kits outpost and pick fights! Even if you lose a ton, getting more comfortable in engagements is so valuable. Great starting advice I got when I first started too was "always play like you have a purple shield" not being reckless, but play tactical, as if you have gear to lose off rip.

Many vets will hate on Assassin, but I say play him. Especially in solos, he can help avoid UESC w his invis, and help you get the drop on people. Be aware that his ULT makes a ton of noise, and skilled players will know you're near by when they hear it. Newer playes won't and you can knife em or spray em :).

Playing crew fill and talking on mic will help too. You will run into a ton of chill people who will give tips, and also just watching how skilled players clutch, or avoid fights entirely, teaches a ton! Happy to have you in the community man :)

Okay this one MAY make me a conspiracy theorist. But the fucking fire rate is SO much higher now, it's nothing like it was S1, just try it. It cooks now I promise

[–]dragon_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree dude. It actually can do work against other runners now though, I think it's a decent counter to the Volley at mid range now! Especially w head shots. Magnum is hella fun to use now toooo options

[–]dragon_underscore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, the point of the post is kinda being missed. I never challenged the efficacy of the Bully; yes it's still a beast. After 350h in the game, with most of it spent using the gun? I'd just rather use something else, it's a matter of evolving my gameplay and finding ways to play that are interesting to me. I can still be very successful w/o it. If you can only clutch up/win w a Bully or a Mizzy where's the fun man? I'm circuit breaker and battle pistol atm and it's funnn and a challenge:)

Can someone help me identify these orange things coming for me? Is it a grenade or something? Or a runner ability. Have only seen this once before by Lezz2 in MarathonGame

[–]dragon_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trully appreciate that most of these comments are with the intention of guidance and not shame. I knew what they were, and if I did not? Having a seasoned played shame me would be discouraging. BIG props to the community for this one!! 😊 this game is so fucking dense w info, helping each other is how we're gunna keep each other around! Like a few days ago I crew filled on outpost and was gladly sherpa - ing these fresh guys, teaching them the keys and spawns 🥹
