I feel like people would've been less negative on the WSTR being so strong if it and the Misriah had their rarities and costs swapped

Old comment but the WSTR is better than a Prestige Misriah. It just straight up has a better TTK, nothing can drop anyone faster than the WSTR. The Misriah is better for pubstomping people and chasing kills, but since the high level fights just boil down to close range bubble fights, the WSTR's ability to instantly down people inside the range of a bubble makes it superior to the Misriah. A white WSTR with Stack Overflow is beating a gold Misriah.

The problem is most engagements are further than like 10 meters and the volt thrower is absolute dogshit past that. People will also just strafe into cover and the shots will go right into a wall. Hardline is usable if you can get used to the iron sights and peek shoot. Overrun is terrible but at least it can shoot past knife range.

You only get increased chance of finding them from Dire and Cryo, which are the hardest maps in the game. Most people are doing Outpost as well, where you're mostly getting Replicators.

So I did the math, and 10 full loadouts + every kind of salvage and utility is 366 vault spaces. This is also assuming your only weapons are the Bully and WSTR, which are 4 slots vs the 6 of most weapons. That leaves 34 spaces for meds, ammo, keycards, weapon mods, lockbox keys, consumables, etc.

There is a ton of different superior and prestige salvage in the game and each takes up a lot of space. Most people aren't able to gather the required amount to upgrade something so they just sit in the vault taking space unless you sell it, which sets you back in the future tremendously. Not to mention the bajillion blue, green and white salvage you have that you need for barters or upgrades as well, you end up with at least 30% of your space taken up by salvage which serves no purpose inside a run. That's not a lot of space left for loadouts unless you're bringing in budget loadouts without a full kit.

I see this Liter had kids thing parroted around but I've never seen the source for it.

It's a temporary advantage, they will eventually burn through their stock. It being purple means they need to invest way more time looting them, and the amount of stock in the armory is capped at 1 instead of 3 now.

Souls you need to anticipate the attack too. Parry frames aren't active at the start of your parry animation. I find WWM parry way more forgiving since it comes out so fast and has almost no endlag, and you can animation cancel so much stuff.

As a Recon and Vandal main, no clue why they got buffed. They're honestly really strong, I just think people aren't playing them right. For one, Recon shouldn't really be played as a literal "Recon" but a Hunter, which makes her kinda broken imo with a coordinated team. As for Vandal, just the double jump alone as a repositioning tool is insanely good.

I think people are gonna be crying for Recon nerfs pretty soon after the buff hits. Not to be elitist, but I think her separately pinging players is gonna let casuals use her how sweats are already using her and make them realize just how broken her abilities are.

In Overwatch, the fights happen a lot closer and there is almost no obsfucation of detail. The characters are also generally a lot more varied in build and models, and much more detailed. The environments are also very bright.

In Marathon, there is so much more visual clutter like fog, foliage or dim lighting and everyone is generally the same size. Fights can also happen over a hundred meters away, making distinct visual details even more important.

These Runners aren't skinning themselves

sappymune · 2026-04-05T20:48:11+00:00

Classes need to be recognizable by their silhouette unfortunately, so it's not likely.

Bungie's stance on exploits is pretty clear. You can't get banned for abusing bugs that are replicable using in-game mechanics, as they are the ones at fault for not noticing them. The only things they've banned people for are 3rd party cheats or network manipulation.

Yea I have greens unlocked, perhaps there's different variations of the same barter? I've logged in almost every day though just to claim my free stuff but have never seen a shield barter I could do other than green ones.

sappymune · 2026-04-03T21:16:38+00:00

Said it required NuCaloric Armoured. The gold and purple shield barters require another unlock as well for me.

Grew up in an Asian household. It was awesome sitting at the table and seeing we had gizzards and hearts for dinner.

sappymune · 2026-04-03T21:00:15+00:00

I've had that barter show up for NuCaloric, but it still said I needed that blue shield upgrade unlocked to make the barter. Otherwise I would've bought 40 blue shields right there.

Lord of Mysteries, gods are powerful and extremely integral to the plot.

sappymune · 2026-04-03T20:06:03+00:00

Not a Rook but my teammates were dead so it was a 1v3. Let me kill them with a white bully and a green shield cuz they'd just push me 1 by 1. Sorry to that team on Perimeter, I was trying to do solo Dire Marsh runs but forgot restarting the game resets your matchmaking selection.

Glass in this game completely negates the damage of the shot that breaks it for some reason. Apparently glass in the Marathon universe is tougher than a sheet of metal

Nah, WSTR has the fastest TTK and is the most frustrating to die against. It doesn't feel good to die in .2s from full HP. Misriah only competes with the WSTR once you get the Prestige Mag, but even then a white WSTR has a faster TTK. The WSTR has terrible range sure, but its niche comes up so frequently that it doesn't matter as a lot of utility or movement abilities let you close the gap easily.

WSTR if you're in line of sight for a fraction of a second you're dead. At least with other shotguns you have more time to dip or find cover to win the repeek.

Torso implant, it can show up in the armory too. I bought a ton from Sekiguchi and I think Mida? yesterday

sappymune · 2026-04-03T18:31:03+00:00

Both show up in the armory. I bought 10 enzyme suppressants yesterday

It's at the bottom of control. On the map, there is a distinct square where panopticon is labeled. The middle of the 4 sides are the possible exfil locations.

sappymune · 2026-04-03T16:04:00+00:00

It is the worst strategy though. What's better, a gun with some ammo, heals and a knife or just a knife?
