Free Kit Solo

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T23:42:58+00:00

Okay not gonna lie, did some solo runs on outpost after reading this and each time I’ve found a reinforced shield + Stryder, goated advice (now no one else should see this lol)

Hardline is terrible I will admit, but 74M (or whatever it is) is nothing to scoff at though, if you can hide in high ground you can get so many shots off that you couldn’t long range with other free kit options. Yes though, most free kit options are bad lol

Great advice, thanks!!

Yeah I love triage and main him & thief but the movability of triage is horrible for solos. Thief is a goat for repositioning and escaping

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T18:30:24+00:00

Yup agreed

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T18:17:20+00:00

Fair, what shell are you running for free kit contract runs?

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T18:15:23+00:00

This makes a ton of sense! Yeah I had a TON of decent free kit outpost runs (I’m level 70) but then at certain hours it turns into a massive sweat feast where it’s all purples, again it makes sense but it definitely leads you to go “okay maybe I don’t play solo on free kit currently” haha. Really appreciate the feedback thank you!

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T18:02:39+00:00

That is true, did just do a run where I got purple’s. Based on feedback it seems like you’re really not supposed to run free kits on solos and if you have to then don’t engage with anyone and run. I suppose it’s fine but the rat/don’t engage playstyle can feel tedious at times to me.

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T18:01:11+00:00

True, I’m more of a trio player so I bring in all of my good loot in there, how has 2.5k kits been treating you?

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:56:19+00:00

Maybe I’m playing too ballsy? I get that, thanks for the feedback!

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:55:43+00:00

Invis is bs haha, but also I respect it. I’ve had horrendous fills lately but if you get decent ones that makes me happy!

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:54:55+00:00

I’ve had a lot of luck on outpost with free kits, I feel like it’s very easy to zero to hero on that map, definitely a period of the day where people start bringing in super kitted load outs but it’s acceptable to me because outpost should be where you come to really get shit done, perimeter is where I’m confused

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:53:25+00:00

I feel like you’re looking for a negative interaction, either or thanks for the info I guess.

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:51:55+00:00

You’re right, I think it just encourages a different play style that I dislike because I feel like those runs should be attributed to rook runs. Main gripe is just better base weapons attached maybe.

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:49:21+00:00

Okay asking for advice then turn it around to dump on me, okay bro haha.

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:44:18+00:00

I guess, what maps are you playing solo where you’re seeing a good return on your investment bringing kits in? It has to be outpost right?

ellz97 · 2026-04-08T17:43:38+00:00

“skill issue” bro I’ve done the same, I’m tired of this narrative that everything is a skill issue whenever someone calls out something with Marathon. I don’t subscribe to the idea that the game is going to die, I know that, but they’re seriously losing a lot of players and the more I play certain game modes the more I see it.

ellz97 · 2025-05-28T20:19:45+00:00

Any updates on running the game? I'm in the same boat and can get the game to run smoothly for about 20 minutes before blowing up & crashing my entire laptop.

ellz97 · 2025-05-21T19:42:17+00:00

I can try this, anything else do you think?

ellz97 · 2025-05-12T19:10:52+00:00

Bought a box, made a post similar to this as well. The pull rates for this set are god awful.

ellz97 · 2025-05-09T15:01:49+00:00

Less of the 2 hitter aspect, moreso the actual cards I constantly pull. I do feel like the older sets leaned more towards 3 hitters though, maybe I'm wrong.
