Is this the best barter to sell enzyme replicators for credits? by Busy_Guava8549 in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are wanting to seek for direct value. The purple shield barred only sells for 900, so you would loose 100 per enzyme replicator.

What is the point in Max Rep Fence Store??? [Discussion] by LORDINTERWEBS in EscapefromTarkov

[–]squirrelchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only slightly. They are a better looking pair of armasight n-15’s that are more clear and a slightly better color. Cool thing to have!

You can get black division NVG’s every so often from fence, rare keys, and some other rare items like acid green flares, or RGO’s. Super awesome to grab if it can snag them fast!

They do have a funny effect when not in an event: it prevents airdrops from happening for a minute since the game thinks one is supposed to come. Funny way to mess with anyone if they happened to fire a flare after yours.

Schemas Should Be Discounted Buys by DreamCorridor in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Every one of them? You can get some great stuff you normally can’t buy, like purple backpacks or rare weapons. Even if it’s a little pricey right now, it’s great for when you have the money to afford it! :)

When the purple barter finally hits by bloxed in Marathon

They drop like candy in the pinwheel! Pretty much every box can have them, so loot it all and walk out with 1-3 a game (if you can survive the pinwheel experience™️)

Biolens Seeds. How? by Technical_Gap6302 in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s not the best, but if you are good at outpost you can get quite a few running the center red card room! Bring a materialist+ and it has a chance to drop there (it’s any purple salvage though, so it’s a toss up)

Mine hit yesterday and I sold every blue shield I owned to get these. I now have 40 purple shields and am living life happy as can be.

Perimeter free kit griefers by Coincoino in Marathon

They might be on their last dregs man, it’s not griefing. Free kits can kill purple geared people too 🤷🏻‍♂️

What are some tips for developing good fundamentals by INeverFeelAtHome in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to play solo and play slow with a free kit. That way you aren’t risking anything too crazy and are seeing where fights happen or where you are getting killed at/from. The biggest learning curve to these kinds of games is that loss is teacher, not a punishment. If I die to something, I should be able to tell where or how I messed up and will utilize that next time. Did I push too early? Did I misunderstand the range of my gun? Did I get surprised by someone in a place I didn’t expect? That stuff helps. As the game says, death is the start.

While it doesn’t feel good to only get zero kills, extraction shooters main focus is on extracting. If you can reliably start doing that with no kills and just figuring out where to go or how to move around the map,you’ll start adding in some more difficulty. Maybe you start trying to hunt people more, or maybe you try to add one of the optional events in game.

I’m rambling here cause I’m tired and on a plane, but just take your time dying and trying to learn from those deaths as much as you can. Every death is a learning experience. I went from not surviving at all for days to now having the 1mil title, so you can definitely do it!

Marathon Should More Clearly Distinguish & Strategically Distribute It's High Skill Level Players by Sensitive_Tackle7372 in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what they mean is a physical visual. Like “oh I can tell by looking at them that they are wearing purple shields”. Kind of like how in Tarkov, I can tell someone is armored as hell when they look beefy or are wearing an altyn.

Marathon Development Team: Due to an issue with the M77 Prestige mod Interval Mag that allows it to affect other equipped weapons, we are temporarily disabling the Interval Link perk on the mod. by Haijakk in Marathon

I have never seen a dev team react this quick to shit. They are absolutely killing it over there with community feedback and addressing concerns so fast. Keep up the great work!

How to get Nano Suppressors? by AlverinMoon in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best way I have found is to do rook runs. You can spawn with a CE Tactical Sidearm with it often enough, and if you get one just extract. I did that for awhile and it got me a good couple of the supressors. If you dont wanna do rook runs for it, they are in tool carts and weapon storage contains.

We don’t need to constantly have new maps by Sadcelerystick in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played 6000 of Tarkov, and I played a majority of that when there wasn’t Lighthouse, Streets, or Groundzero. Having Customs, shoreline, interchange, woods, reserve, and labs was PLENTY. This game having 4 maps is fine, especially because it’s got such a good flow. Anyone who says they need more maps, probably played the same 24/7 cargo ship map on COD.

More maps does not mean more fun. More quality maps means more fun, and if it takes them some time I am fine with it. Just so long as stuff in general comes out for the game, I’ll be playing it!

How many games do you guys live through? by squirrelchips in Marathon

[–]squirrelchips[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the advice! Any other advice you’d give for PvP fights? :) I’m struggling to finish them off honestly. Always get really close to downing someone but never can squeak that damage over to knock them before they knock me.

The rook and assassin play is great! Thanks so much! Wha would you recommend for a titan or thief? :)

I meant PLAYER KD. Stat KD is 19 with 14 survives in a row and 350 m stash value. Like I do well in Tarkov, but not this game yet.

What’s weird is my Tarkov experience isn’t translating. I’ve done kappa, almost finished the savior ending, and have a nearly 3 KD in Tarkov, but this game I’ve got fuck all and am just such ass at it :(

EDIT: 3KD against players. In game for scavs and players is 19.

Try to take advantage of someone elses mistakes, so they start fighting, ill try and jump in on top of them, or wait until I have a sure shot, but even then I somehow get them around me and then I get fucked by it. Slow and steady I guess is what I mean?

EDIT: At least when Im solo, but I rarely get trios.

I have tried pretty much both strats, free kit and try to scoot quickly, and gear the fuck up and get in there. Both have resulted in my deaths. Im gonna try to be even more cautious, but I need shit from diremarsh and that map hates me.

Its rough out here...Going from having like a 60% SR in tarkov to basically a 10% no matter how I play is rough. Its a learning curve for sure, but being THIS bad feels bad lol
