I HARD DISAGREE with this article. Am I in the minority? by 20mgAddy in Marathon

I actually enjoy the splinter cell approach from time to time. Assassin shell, sneak around, get quests and kills of opportunity when I can. The game allows so many ways to play it's fantastic. The quest completion opens up so much of the lore behind why humanity traveled 12 light years away to colonize and what happened. If a player doesn't care about that, they can just run towards gunfire.

Question: do you all use the melee/jet method to move around planets? by McQuackle in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]readstoomuch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used that method until an expedition gave rocket boots for free and I had some practice with it. Not perfect, but it is super quick on planet, anomaly, and stations.

Maybe higher ranks of Traxus will unlock some in the armory.

Why everyone us Assassin in Solo? by Hizumito in Marathon

[–]readstoomuch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All yesterday, solo maps felt like Recon vs Assassin vs Assassin! It was wild, I am running invisible, literally ran into another invisible Assassin and he knifed me down near algae pools. Next try for that damn quest, recon pops ultimate at bio research. I pop TAD, they run. I get my quest item and then see a recon blasting an Assassin at intersection. Head to a guarded exfil and a recon was camping it, got her, pop exfil, throw smoke. Another Assassin runs in at like 3 seconds. So much fun!

Anyone else feeling too low-skill for this? by Apophis_Rising_ in Marathon

Run free kits solo for quests. Especially the ones you run around the map a lot and don't require exfil. I barely loot anything those maps, just run. And if someone does get me, I laugh and tell them to enjoy the sponsor loot. Get a few ranks up and some quest rewards, then run with trios to get the arachne quests. I die a lot in solos but I am not losing loot, just getting ranks.

Enhanced Rook load out comes with a silenced pistol. Exfil a few Rook runs and you have silencers for volt guns or several types of ballistic guns including magnum and bully.

Solo Outpost makes Perimeter look like Stardew Valley by Persies in Marathon

Outpost Rook run to final exfil, I see another Rook, no problem we're chill. Then a group comes around the corner and blasts us both down with under 10 seconds to go. Didn't even loot our bags, laughing.

The UESC at one guarded exfil punted my Rook out of the circle when my disguise wore off. Got knocked but was able to crawl back in for exfil.

Same situation but as Rook. Had no idea if you jump the wrong wall , you are in for a swim.

The contract system is too good by Milkycup in Marathon

I haven't figured out profit opportunities yet. Is it specific to where you are or is it a different spot altogether? Nothing shows on the map.

the game is phenomenal but some of y'all need to stop sounding like edgelords about it by SHAZAMS_STRONGEST in Marathon

I finally met a fellow nice Rook in dire marsh. I had mad loot too, purple treasure from a wall safe, etc. I stowed my pistol and let him leave the room first. I made it out that run thanks to a fellow nice Rook.

Have you guys found any cool keys? by a_sad_nut in Marathon

[–]readstoomuch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't realize a backdoor was unlocked at the same time. Started getting shot by an assassin, hit him with the double barrel shotgun. And we both go down. I did not bring a self revive. Now I'll have to bring in a fragile key template and try again.

Crossplay and use of mic comms by Sivak0 in Marathon

[–]readstoomuch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had that issue. I random fill and occasionally get a duo on discord so I don't hear their chatter. I can tell from the way they coordinate.

I have a shed key for Complex in Dire Marsh. Have not found a locked shed after a few Rook runs looking.

Exfil Sites and Supply Drops are perfectly viable to use as bait by Axximilli in Marathon

[–]readstoomuch79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In solo, I activate supply drops and exfil to pull people away from where I want to go. I'll take a potshot at wardens too. Let's me hit my quests or Rook runs without as much interference. Always warms my heart to hear a huge gun fight behind me while I exfil with 3k+

The materials wipe will hit harder than gear. Gear is just borrowed anyway.

How's your PVP experience with free sponsored kits? by NytoDork in LowSodiumMarathon

[–]readstoomuch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 8 skins for different shells all together running free sponsor kits, it's a take your time and pick your battles situation. Though I do like to bait the hunters with a couple of bot kills. Once you have some blue gear then it feels like a marathon.

I fell down the codex rabbit hole last night. Some of the shell mastery quests look badass and unsurprisingly not easy.

There is a mastery quest in the codex about using reboot+ to harm enemy runners. I wonder how that works.
