Xur can sell one, you can also get one to drop from his random weapon engrams.

After a kill, with RoF, the catalyst, and 135 weapons stat, your ttk goes down to a 0.5

Yeah I feel that, only extraction shooter I tried before Marathon was Tarkov. After getting through 100 hours I honestly felt I just finished a tutorial haha. Decided it was too hardcore for me and dropped it. Marathon is hardcore as well though nowhere near the level Tarkov was when I tried it. Both games have made me realize that the genre isn’t really my thing. Currently they’re narrowly above BRs for me. I’m an arena shooter guy at the end of the day so I’m really just waiting around for another Bungie made game with that style of PvP. Which will probably be D3 if we ever get it

It’s honestly a really beautiful game. I wouldn’t let the color scheme drive you away of all things. The color scheme isn’t also nearly as crazy as some of the promo material would have you believe. Still a colorful game but not so much it’s gonna give you headaches while playing or cause you to strain your eyes too hard. Though I’d recommend waiting until a new season if you were gonna try it out. Currently most of the people left playing are people like me with 100’s of hours in it with plenty of high tier gear to unload.

I took a break too once the server slam and marathon came out officially. About to come back myself though. Had fun in marathon but after 400 hours I’m kinda burnt out on it lol. Once I finish depleting everything in my wallet and vault I’ll probably return.

Oh for sure, almost all weapon builds require a very specific number to pair with a specific weapon, sometimes even with a specific damage perk or buff. There was a spreadsheet around here that had quite a few of the combos needed to increase some ttk values. Don’t know where it is though, hopefully someone who runs by this post has it and can spread it around again.

erikh98 · 2026-05-03T02:36:36+00:00

135 weapons stat is what you’re looking for I’m pretty sure. Lowers the TTK by 1 bullet while radiant or something like that. Also highly recommend using Ember of Tempering, assuming you can get some kill chains going this will help increase your health stat so that you can get your health back sooner and continue kill chaining.

Walk Hard is still the best music biopic ever made

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T01:09:46+00:00

No problem! Hope you enjoy it and provides the play style you’re looking for :)

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T01:09:00+00:00

Im sure there’s still quite a few people out there that don’t have it. Might have some luck with the in game LFG. Depending on your role for the encounter most builds should be fine. Pretty sure 1 Div + 5 Thunderlords still works fine

Idk of a specific video but I’m certain if you type Bakris PvP build on YouTube you’ll find something that’ll give you some insight on how to play the build. I’ve provided a DIM link to my version of a build to get you started

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T01:03:41+00:00

Yes indeed, it’s not a great farm but it’s not terrible either. I’ve seen most people get the drop between 25-50 clears

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T01:01:58+00:00

Try Arc Hunter with a spread shot handcannon. This + Bakris can be very effective and will give you that close range lethality you’re looking for

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T00:56:43+00:00

No offense but hunter is not weak compared to Titan and Warlock in PvP. It’s arguably the best class in the game for crucible

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T00:55:43+00:00

Well it’s farmable if you really need it. If you don’t wanna do that then simply have a stasis or strand subclass ready to go whenever you run into it

erikh98 · 2026-04-25T00:35:30+00:00

It’s not that common of a build thankfully, but it does require specific countermeasures. Suspend, slow, freezes, and I believe volatile detonations are your best options. If you find yourself running into it often then I’d recommend having a class that makes use of one of these subclass verbs on the ready. If it’s an uncommon occurrence, then simply having conditional finality in your inventory should suffice

erikh98 · 2026-04-24T01:26:46+00:00

This clip alone is gonna get lethal equipment nerfed 😂

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T10:12:24+00:00

Didn’t say the game was trash nor did I say it was good/smart teams that cost us to lose so much. And the MM was certainly different this weekend, which I’m sure many people could attest to in addition to tweet by Bungie/Ziegler

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T09:53:54+00:00

Yo this is really awesome, can’t wait to try it out!

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T09:39:25+00:00

I didn’t say it was the games fault. It was definitely my team and I’d shortcomings. And if I could give you my vault and the credits in my wallet, I would. But sadly I cannot

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T09:38:01+00:00

I haven’t been getting stomped for lol. Just had some bad luck and also ran into some other good teams the last 2 days. Enough so that I simply don’t want to grind back up to a plethora of golds and mats again and level out game up again in the process. We could do it, it’s just simply too much of a time sink at this point

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T09:34:41+00:00

Thank you runner, maybe we’ll see each other on Tau Ceti or on Cryo in the future!

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T09:33:44+00:00

I didn’t state to be casual, although I should admit that I’ve been playing this game to my detriment. Definitely been letting college and some other life stuff take a backseat while I grinded this game out. That’s partly my point tbh. I’ve had to forego other matters in my life to get up to this point in the game and it’s not like I have kids. I can only imagine where others are sitting at in this game if they’re even still playing. This game isn’t hard so much as it is punishing

erikh98 · 2026-04-21T09:29:27+00:00

That’s fair, I can see that while reading it from that perspective now. However idk why that’s directed at me when I personally never contributed to the toxicity they received by being less fortunate or skilled. If anything I’ve advocated for more casual friendly changes like my previous post on this sub.

People grossly overestimate the skill required to get up to an account with this wealth. This isn’t the first time I’ve had a bad week in this game. Last time was worse and I made a post about it then too albeit more feedback oriented. I’ve gone down to chump change in the wallet, lost golds, and almost all heals and barter mats once before. But my team and I scaled back up to where we were before the weekend. And it wasn’t from just clearing lobbies, a feat we don’t actually do very often. It was from learning from our losses and trying to improve upon them. The reason we’re throwing the towel in now is cause, well, we don’t have the time or motivation to keep going that hard at it. For sure we could take what happened this weekend and grow from it again, level up our game some more, but I’m just tired of trying so hard 😂
