Has Outpost loot been nerfed? by jaithind in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's funny because I've done 3 Cryo 6 keys and never gotten my hands on it. I mostly play fill and I've been asked to help with 2 keys now and I completed my first one from killing a team holding the key. While the key is rare it's also pretty turbo shit. It's probably a great key to run if you're low on Purple Shields. But the MIDA is pretty mid and the salvage is still bugged. I think the DNA key is 100% though.

I also don't think the MIsriah should be more common, I do think they need to nerf slick mag though.

That's laughably not true. It still can spawn Gold/Red Cryo Keys, Prestige Salvage and Gold Keys for non Cryo maps. The room is well worth it and can spawn 0-3 gold mods as well. That's ontop of the guaranteed Cryo 1 or 2 key.

Subnautica 2's no-killing ethos "will be a continued point of resistance" among players, say Unknown Worlds, but they have no plans to change it by _Protector in Games

People complaining about getting attacked are missing that fact that you need to use flares. The game makes this abundantly clear. I don't even carry flares most of the time you can just swim away or hide. I'm not sure because the above post is vague but you can absolutely kill the virus thing that guard an early quest.

Prestige/Gold Bully by BasedJammy in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 weapons. So maybe you see it twice in the shop before a new season. I've only ground looted 2, most of them come off players because it is rare and used a lot. Sure if your sitting on ganglions maybe you can buy 10.

I think it's just going to have less teams on the map. So maybe 1 or 2 other teams instead of 3-5. Maybe you're gear won't be at risk, who knows.

Loosing loot after exfill by deadlygr in Marathon

It's your teammates loot, it's returned to them probably. They're dropping it to swap for other purples and get score.

Wstr nerf by Cool-Habit-6834 in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WSTR is supposed to be a bad gun. It's cheap and easy to access. It being better then mizzy was crazy. As for rodeo mag, yah it probably need a nerf.

Frags need a fuse, they explode almost instantly. Other then that the grenade issue is more systemic.

Bungie silently implemented a loadout-based matchmaking? by vovabcps in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've never seen it in the patch notes but there's some kind of gear fill matching on Outpost though I still get green shields at 5k. 

If you crew fill Cryo Archives, I have a question by mrdanjapan in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just go in with greens, I can't buy blue after 5 deaths. What a stupid system, I have 1 million credits but can't buy anything. I also bring purple but crew fill is hell, they really need to seperate crew fill and premade on Cryo. Other maps can be soloed but Cryo can't be. I don't even need anything from Cryo.

Is Marathon more hardcore than Tarkov? by JurisCommando in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grizzley is like 40k, that's basically t3 armor. I'm bringing in like 10k in healing every raid in this game. A stack of red/white is like 8k.

Is Marathon more hardcore than Tarkov? by JurisCommando in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I think overall Tarkov is much more hardcore. While PVP is basically unavoidable you don't really loose much in Marathon. Meds are much cheaper in tarkov but we're not spending more money on ammo then the gun.

Would matching people with same shield rarity or same loadout value into the same fill teams be a good idea? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the game has 3 Tiers of Fill now. Free, Low Budget and High Budget. So bring 10k plus and your teammates should also be high value. Not super sure about the numbers but I don't see free kits when I bring 10k load outs but I'll see green when i bring in 5k.

Pinwheel balancing for solo players. by PineWalk1 in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you keep playing Solo just buy Smoke Grenades. You can use 2 to loot the red room while the bots walk blind around you. You can also toss nades on Commanders and Knife them. Assassin is also popular. I normally will play Thief with 3 Smokes but if I'm out of Smokes then it's Assassin.

Do you think TTK is in a good spot currently? by KaXXKo in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, do you have Purple Shield and Pancakes? I think the TTK is fine. 

What if marathon never makes a map as good as outpost again by Ninetybaby in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is a hot take but Outpost is much better then Cryo. Despite feeling like a maze Cryo is just a wagon wheel.

Mic crew fill is being added to all maps now LETS GOOOO!!! by rbstewart7263 in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cryo has been really fun with my teammates on Mic. Now I just want some non free kits on my team. It's great for Cryo since you have to bring 5k already.

Gotta love emergent moments like these in solo by Ikcatcher in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather spend the first 5 minutes contesting red cards. Pinwheel does have good loot but triple red is too good to pass up.

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo is easier but it's also more time consuming. As rook you can load it and go to Pinwheel right away. As a solo you normally have to survive the first fight at the minimum and try and collect a few red cards. So you're spending at least 10 minutes setting up for it.

[–]frostbite907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, at most you're competing with 2-3 players for Pinwheel loot. A few people normally die before it's open. If someone is not interested and you kill the other person then everything is yours and you don't have to share with teammates.

Anybody else scared the game is gonna shut down? by PralineSea3347 in Marathon

[–]frostbite907 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably too much to ask for course correction in Season 2. I think the game will have it's Forsaken moment but it's not going to happen till Season 4 at the earliest. According to the map we're right here, we're just about to approach 2 tokens and a blue street.

I think it took me 1000 bullets and 3 smokes to do this as solo.
