[pallid sequoia]

yes 😭

[lucid rain]

I said positive.

[soft vault]

So u do want sbmm u just dont want to agree... what youre describing is sbmm and R6S quickplay DOES have mmr... that's why quickplay matches take time to load into, it's just not as strict as ranked... you can check the stats of your teams over the course of just 2 matches to prove this if you need the proof, or watch the high level elo players document the changes, or look at ubi's posts on how they handle qp...

[grave smelt]

Bruh I thought you were a lady this whole time

[lament cliff]

Those 2 bullets are my guaranteed fumble on my scopeless BR33 i found in a locker

[narrow wind]

i still love traxus......

[jaunty crystal]

the contracts will be different, aint no way we gonna be redoing the same story again

[pallid sequoia]

noooooooo 😔

[grave smelt]

It's ok, I still love you

[tardy wraith]

Luke stephens bringing up steam charts and talking abt Sony's prospects regarding it isnt toxic. Its just having a regular discussion.

[topaz raven]

Marathon not producing viral content…

[slender mirage]

Mida gives me bombs, best faction case closed 🤤

[sand atlas]

Until you run their sponsored kit holy

[narrow wind]

LOOK there are better ways to rep with them trust 💔

[lament cliff]

What would u recommend. I have been running lmgs and hardline but find its not damaging enough to carry my trio

[grave smelt]

And you still can get mpregged

[visual stump]

Just came from Mutahar's video 😭😭 apparently it also seems like all these streamers and YouTubers are saying Marathon is their new favourite extraction shooter 😂

[hot geyser]

#1 WSTR lover

[narrow wind]

demonic. we must cast you away now

[grave smelt]

Stop

[soft vault]

And it's for the same reason on r6s qp as to why they have a loose mmr as to why i think normal matches in marathon should too... because they dont want plats or champs to have to play with hardstuck coppers and vice versa, it's fun for neither, even in casual

[narrow wind]

the charter emote😭😭

[hollow cosmos]

Who milkin who now am I missing out on a good time

[oak rain]

Is there crossplay between PC and console ?

[pallid sequoia]

Yes

[wicked schooner]

hurr durr i'm a free kit so let me push badly and die instantly and i don't give a shit

[hot geyser]

WSTR + bubble shields ❤️ I be in the bubble like a rabid dog waiting for u to enter

[lucid rain]

How do you turn off crossplay for PC?

[compact hare]

You can't

[upbeat hare]

SBMM just seems like it takes away the unpredictability of extraction shooters. It's already too predictable with solo/duo/trio compared to tarkov where you have no idea what will happen during a raid

[grave smelt]

I was just concerned with anomalous p.r.e.g. level of my message

[narrow wind]

almost felt like i was in cryo archive just reading this it is that bad

[soft vault]

You cite a game with SBMM as being fun because it's not there (but it is and it's documented) but youre benefiting and having fun from SBMM without even knowing it.. so you want sbmm. Got it

[hollow cosmos]

Omg how u tap into my comms

[lament cliff]

Thank u Gorblin, I hope your runs are filled with loot filled skinnables Runners

[oak rain]

I think theres a way to do it in the Xboxs settings but the queue times get insane. My friend did it and i was looking for it in game

[tardy wraith]

Seems like it but i honestly dgaf because it worked for Hunt showdown. Gear based and Aggression based is worse imo.

[brave nymph]

i think so too.. every time i detonate a claymore i also get rubberbanded

[soft vault]

It doesnt !! Hunt is fine !! SBMM isnt the boogeyman you think it is !!

[grave smelt]

Oh yeah

[winter field]

Yes I have no respect for these click bait channels. Even some who I kinda of liked watching

[narrow wind]

when I want to shoot a claymore it takes multiple shots of hitting the tiny hitbox + explosion delay in it but the enemy can snipe my Thief Claymore drone out of the air

[sand atlas]

Let’s not try to follow tarkov game design now…

[left swan]

Ik u can’t share weapons but can u bring salvage in and give it to someone?

[spring storm]

yo any dev can answer why we cant turn off cross-play off ?

[upbeat hare]

isnt aggression based the same as SBMM essentially? Marathon will never cater to PVE only

[tardy wraith]

Sbmm is kda
Aggression based is how violent u are to other players.

[sand atlas]

Hunt rules

[lucid rain]

Because Marathon is actually cleverly disguised battle royale.

[lament cliff]

The claymores on the drone will react to the bullets. Gotta catch them off guard

[cobalt elk]

wot

[hollow cosmos]

Damn u guys wanna go in on it 2gether

[peak compass]

mind blown, they got me to play fortnite with robot people instead of peter griffin.

[oak rain]

I wonder if console players are getting rolled by pc players and are feeling like its too sweaty, when it might just be forced crossplay, idk

[lucid rain]

It happens.

[pallid sequoia]

WTSR | Bubble meta 😪

[upbeat hare]

Ah okay, I guess i shoulda known that, but yeah i agree that aggression based would be the worst option

[nimble pike]

What are some of you guys favorite weapon chip mods? How do you get them? I feel like a lot of the chips are useless considering many of them require you to be under some effect for them to be useful.

Drop some of your favorite mods/guns/attachment combos below! Also drop below the best way to acquire them so we can all learn from each other as I feel like this is one of the more confusing aspects of the game.

[hot geyser]

they should add the GTA "WASTED" death screen when u die to the WSTR

[visual stump]

Seems like something the Ugandan president would do....I would know

[narrow wind]

you're right but you're making me brainstorm this. Could bubble shield also work on the drone?

[hollow cosmos]

Libido based

[pallid sequoia]

make bubbles purple

[grave smelt]

Our plan.

1. You become the most mpreg person in the history of Discord. So huge that Bill Gates for the sake of the meme decides to give you a million bucks anyway.
2. I become your husband
3. We make you win the second million

[sand atlas]

Loved is a big reach at this point in the games life

[lament cliff]

Thatd be disgusting LMFAOOO

[hot geyser]

my fav

[soft vault]

Fr bro

[lament crypt]

the game is just way too sweaty today, im not even having fun rn

[oak rain]

MARATHONED, and show whichever faction theyre contracting for saying something to you

[narrow wind]

Shielded claymored drone flying at u at mach 10 yessssssssssssssssssssss

[pallid sequoia]

It's a problem

[lament cliff]

Same bro WTF its monday

[sharp briar]

been meaning to ask, you do much cryo or ranked?

[leaden maple]

Honestly, Bungie can sunset Cyro and save load times/qeuue times , might help with player count

[hollow cosmos]

Fucking based af

[lament crypt]

been killed within 20 seconds multiple times today, its just getting old fast

[spring storm]

u didnt heared about xim matrix ?

[soft vault]

FR !!!!! People fleeing from awful place try not to make new place awful challenge... it's like we want LESS of Tarkov, you know that right? Lmao

[hot geyser]

tbh if youre playing as destroyer with a WSTR against a team that deployed bubbles, hitting his dash for a Mach 5 drive by is satisfying

[grave smelt]

Uhhh... 😱 🫣 😳 👉 👈 🫦 B-b-baka

[pallid sequoia]

5 bubble shields placed at once 😔

[nimble pike]

Play slower off the start then….

[oak rain]

Oh no… what now

[narrow wind]

hitting that 1v3 on destroyer W unlike anything

[spring storm]

aimbot for console

[lament cliff]

I knew it was time to log off when I fought a purple shielded sniper trio on perimeter

[leaden maple]

Bungie saved Destiny 2 by sunsetting, they should Sunset things in Marathon, it might help as a morale boost?

[lament crypt]

i am, people just know the spawns now and are instantly rushing them, nothing you can really do about it

[manic pond]

Yeah, I've been stuck on the same contract half the matches killed in the first little bit, all day and I'm reached my limit. Also no one has the same contract so it is pointless to go with a team

[soft vault]

Oh it'd be terrible man the hugbox of arc raiders makes me feel like a psychopath when i mow down 3 dudes and they dont even lift a finger to defend themselves... it's so weird lmfao

[visual stump]

Where do I get this level of wisdom? 💜

[nimble pike]

You can’t hear them running to you?

[hollow cosmos]

Only bubble shield I need is recon’s er backpack

[upbeat hare]

Idk im kinda on the fence, I still enjoy tarkov, and marathon has more in common with tarkov than those other extraction shooters

[lament cliff]

This is a huge problem on dire marsh

[oak rain]

Were already content starved tho tbh

[lament crypt]

oh yeah let me listen out for the sniper that shoots me from halfway across the map

[cunning temple]

things id do in dire marsh

1. die

[hot geyser]

when is the recon head nerf? looking like jimmy neutron through my scope.

[grave smelt]

I watch Peanut's shorts when they pop up

[long compass]

If they made it a contract to bum extracts off enemy players, I think I’d have maxed my rep by now, lol. I don’t think I’ve had a single extract where I didn’t just watch somebody call it, and then jump into the ext bubble with them right before it ends 😭

[nimble pike]

Now I will agree that the thermal snipes need to be toned down a good bit for sure. Especially on Dire

[lament cliff]

I hope we get the SPNKR

[pallid sequoia]

Euphoria season 3 drops April 13th !!

[flint surge]

Does everyone like that you predictively have PvP in this game usually in about 1 minute? So basically the start of the match is just preparing to take out another crew (or runner in solo) no matter what? Kind of like a mini game of unbalanced Call of Duty at the start of each match, followed by possibly going to a new POI and wiping another crew. And then when you satisfied enough crews are dead, just looting.

From one perspective it is obvious that is the best and only good move in this game. If you play it any other way, you are at a huge disadvantage. But is it fun?

[narrow wind]

dire marsh duo queue has me balding at the age of 20 tbh it's all the same evil ass people

[sharp briar]

cryo's a maze for sure, had to watch azteccross, skarrow and drewsky's vid to understand the layout. you built different then me tho, bubble, nades and wasters got me killed ALOT. had to get carried out 2/3 runs. my third exfil out from cyro was a bit of luck and minimal pvp.

[royal nacelle]

They should definitely sunset Thief and Vandal
In fact, sunset every shell but Assassin

[wraith helm]

we don't care

[soft vault]

Idk the longer you look the less similarities they have. No ohk headshots, no special ammos, no safe pocket, shields, simple healing... i guess we got scav bosses. No killa though... and no TOZ !! 😭

[lament crypt]

tf is euphoria

[clear moon]

has the looking for crew channel disappeared alongside the map related threads for lf ppl to play with ?

[narrow wind]

WAIT
STAHLI PFP??? WOOO

[hot geyser]

the feeling when you boot up marathong

[slender mirage]

The feeling of when you find a frog in a bog on a log

[leaden maple]

So marathon is actually gunna sunset content too? thats crazy.

[pallid sequoia]

It's the show with Sidney Sweeney and zydaya!!

[grave smelt]

#lfc-any-zone #lfc-perimeter #lfc-dire-marsh #lfc-outpost #lfc-cryo-archive

[lament crypt]

literally who tf are these people

[cunning temple]

my goat 🥹✌️

[narrow wind]

they are deleting thief off the game next week yeah

[flint surge]

Marathon is going to sunset content?

[clear moon]

ty

[pallid sequoia]

The two hottest people on the planet 😅

[leaden maple]

apparently they are gunna sunset a few of the characters

[grave smelt]

Ur welcome Jonathan

[oak rain]

Recon aka the shell with the sonar clappers. They gotta buff the tick targeting smh

[visual stump]

Ew....

[long compass]

I doubt it. There’s seasonal resets every few months, but I don’t know why they’d remove anything.

[lament crypt]

subjective but ok

[soft vault]

Can u link any of those vids? Id love to learn the layout better i def need it

[hard blaze]

She is perfect

[flint surge]

Yeah it would cost money to remove stuff. 🙂

[brave nymph]

real

[pallid sequoia]

It's a good show; why all the hate???

[velvet badger]

With the sole exception of Saturo Gojo of course

[sand atlas]

Hunter Schafer better

[leaden maple]

Asmongold is way more attractive then sydney sweeney tbf

[visual stump]

Don't even bother with it 😭

[hot geyser]

when sydney sweeney vandal skin?

[peak compass]

That guy always looks like he needs a shower.

[pallid sequoia]

Why do you have such an aversion to it?

[lament crypt]

i dont think shes that hot, there, its now subjective

[dull sail]

still waiting for nicki minaj skin

[grave smelt]

Ok you basically just nuked this server

[oak rain]

Euphoria dropped when i played outpost for the first time. Someone play that danny devito meme in the movie theater

[visual stump]

Define "good"

[near mural]

maximum ce output btw

[pale aurora]

amen

[last flint]

well my first ranked match was pretty dope

[soft vault]

Called a woman a female... either ur a boot still enlisted or ... oh no

[narrow wind]

jane juliet>

[manic pond]

Marathon is a tactical team game, if you don't get good randos or have two friends to play with, you are going to struggle

[pallid sequoia]

Mmm idk i feel like it resonated with me 🥺

[lament crypt]

if only he found a job attractive too

[sudden nymph]

free kits on my team single handly ruin this game make them be solo q only

[visual stump]

It's literally just soft 🌽....soft 🌽 with underage kids btw

[hard blaze]

Much like the most popular games on steam like Dota 2 and Counterstrike 2.

[leaden maple]

Called a woman a woman...either ur a ...oh no

[lament crypt]

find a squad if you dont want free kits, also, some free kits can wipe lobbies, ive seen it before

[inland quail]

does anybody know how rare the red key is like 1/20 lockdowns or smth?

[oak rain]

Gonna refer to this everytime someone asks if they should buy Marathon

[pulsar dock]

Is lockdown turned off on dire marsh?

[pale aurora]

ohh some cheese pizza

[pallid sequoia]

I don't remember any of that; i just remember the drug recovery theme

[tardy wraith]

A lot of ppl were raised that way. Many ppl who they grew up with use the word females to refer to women. Not really his fault.

[visual stump]

I- wow ok

[vapid veldt]

Here’s my advice, did this all weekend: keep loading in with free kits. Focus on PvP. If you’re gonna die, at least your enemies aren’t better off for it.

[hot geyser]

anyone else IGL for their trio? I usually just run and gun in other trio games but taking that role on in this game is skressful

[inland quail]

nope i did like 7 today

[grave smelt]

To my taste Sweeney is not the most attractive actress. Ana de Armas probably is

[soft vault]

alright ur based keep killin boot ,, i do the same thing LMFAO

[sturdy sun]

Do cryo keys just give you different ones than you already got? Cause I have only been getting the keys I don’t have

[hexed gazelle]

Hate the WSTR

[last flint]

what 😭

[hard blaze]

Everytime you see someone bitch about a free kit player in this discord, load into a random with a free kit.

[hot geyser]

hater

[grave smelt]

Welcome to Marathon official server

[hexed gazelle]

Game is good, just hate the WSTR

[visual stump]

A bit strong but you could kinda say that

[inland quail]

so we dont have any % for the red key in lockdowns? im like 6-7 deep into lockdown

[lucid rain]

And full auto every bot in sight then full auto spray into the night sky

[dull sail]

Get good then

[soft vault]

Idk if the other branches do it but 90% it's other ppl in the army, easy way 2 identify one another lmfao

[oak rain]

The next time you open Cyberacme i hope its Sydney Sweeney talkin to you

[hot geyser]

WSTR is the best part

[sturdy sun]

I usually load in with a free kit, if I get out, I use the loot I gained for the next run and keep upgrading as I go on

[hard blaze]

literally this btw, it isn't the free kit players solely costing you team fights. You helped lose the fight with your "nice gear" too

[visual stump]

The first few episodes alone repelled me 💀

[hexed gazelle]

You're trying to bait me goodbye

[oak rain]

Thats not a good thing tbh

[grave smelt]

Bro I didn't say she is ugly or something 💀 she is beautiful but not the most beautiful for me personally

[vapid veldt]

Bet lol. Crazy part is it works. The people bitching are pissed you wont give them a shot at any REAL loot >:3. if you cant beat them, waste their time and ammo, then mock them incessantly over proximity.

[flint surge]

What is probably more amusing is that right after a person complains about free kits loading into their trio fill, they load into a trio fill with a free kit. 😉

[hot geyser]

ill be waiting for u in the vents

[last flint]

like i hate how ppl complaining about it, like if i have 5 retaliator lmgs and decide to use a free kit that not my problem just go to a place with a arms locker and be done for the day

[tidal linden]

marton

[sturdy sun]

Assassin forever

[sand atlas]

I bet you do comrade

[median jetty]

AYE

[upbeat hare]

yeah true lol, shotguns suck on tarkov yet theyre meta on here. Im just a bit skeptical of adding more restrictions to an extraction shooter, cause after a certain point it might as well be an arena shooter or something

[soft vault]

31B and here's ur 1408 for speeding 2 pt... but im just gonns give u a warning so u dont have anythin 2 give ur first line.. MWUAHAHAHA

[leaden maple]

anyone wanna watch marathon steam charts together with me?

[tardy wraith]

Retalitator lmgs are too common to be that good.

[lucid rain]

Yes! this is the way. No kits ever allowed. Free kit only. Be the worst teammate possible until they capitulate!

[dull sail]

I kill so many “decked out” people with free kits, you’re selling if you always go in with good loot imo

[hexed gazelle]

Hated shotgun jousting in D2, hate it in this game. I hate gambling

[last flint]

ikr, they my fav gun at the moment

[sharp briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIum0Ur-bNY - drewsky (good to slowly learn the donut and avoiding center)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvnESNoiE_w - skarrow (doing the vaults and how to do compiler)

[grave smelt]

True that. They need to be swapped with the other light ammo lmg

[hot geyser]

theyre good modded out but they run thru ammo like nobody's business

[near notch]

Does anyone know what the checkmate buff is that I get sometimes?

[hard blaze]

You should save good loot for premades/solo runs imo

[oak rain]

The poverty plague, better yet. There should be gear score requirements for all the maps. Knock people back down to Perimeter 😂

[hybrid crypt]

What green shields?

[arctic urchin]

Has anyone playing this game on an ultrawide figured out how to change the aspect ratio to 16:9?
Theres no in-game setting and i cant seem to figure it out for this game the same way i have for others

[vestal wyvern]

NA mm filled teems are worst ever

[visual stump]

Um akshually it's Gorlock Destroyer of Worlds but I could be wrong 🤔

[vapid veldt]

I deadass only run free kits outside of Cryo Archive rn hahaha

[grave smelt]

At least we agree on this

[hard blaze]

Yeah as you should

[flint surge]

The biggest issue with free kits is having no room for all the stuff you pick up. That is if you don't find a backpack on the way. 🙂

[strong temple]

How on earth does someone with a purple BR and a shotty with blue shields lose to someone with a green overun ar and no shields bro ☠️

[hybrid crypt]

Post your vault the. I’ll show you mine lmaooo ill show you what bringing gear in gets you

[soft vault]

Nah if you just do hunt it'll be fine. If you havent tried hunt i recommend it. Very much a skill based game, esp if u like tarkov. Bullets have travel time and drop and headshots (depending on range) always ohk. Massive emphasis on stealth and movement

[sturdy sun]

Shotguns are only reserved for cryo only

[lucid rain]

Perfct. Don't even give them the satisfaction of a free kit. Go knife only. Fuck free kits, go NO KIT!

[hollow cosmos]

Bruh

[velvet badger]

With the sole exception of Saturo Gojo of course

[strong temple]

I third partied the dude who killed the person who was kitted but when I checked their gear I was like:

ayo what the hell?

[magic rose]

Good for camping pinwheel exit or exfils in general

[hybrid crypt]

So you have gear fear

[hot geyser]

i run frees until my friends hop on or i just upgraded exfiling from a free lmfao

[tardy wraith]

No, thry're reserved for perimeter with a purple shield. U never know what to suspect

[last flint]

modded retaliators are essentially a machine gun, and sniper mixed with a shield

[sand atlas]

I second the recommendation

[hard blaze]

There were people in here earlier making the insane suggestion of having crew fill allow you to see other peoples gear prior to joining as if it wouldn't bottleneck the matchmaking times and ruin the game

[twin carbon]

Are Hunt matches still an hour long?

[soft vault]

FUCK LEONARD WOOD !!!! FUCK THAT PLACE RAAAAAAAGH !!!!!!!! U take it easy bro !!

[vapid veldt]

YES!! Im an assassin main! Thisis the easiest way to win hahaha

[oak rain]

There should be a way to mess up so badly that your vault can get robbed

[lucid rain]

No Kits rise up

[flint surge]

In solo I can't understand a good reason to ever go with anything other than free kits, unless your vault is full and you just have to waste gear. In many cases you get a full loadout after the first person you kill.

[hexed gazelle]

Good way to deal with bubble shields at least

[unkempt egret]

I love dying it’s like a free vault space upgrade 😌

[sturdy sun]

I wish I could think like you one day, thank you for the insight

[hybrid crypt]

Thats the problem ill fight free kits… THEN when my teamate is a free kit they will come rob my kill and loot off the 1 geared player i killed…

[scarlet field]

only knife on cyro, u kids are awful 🤡 🫵

[hard blaze]

I'm gonna say it, Hunt Showdown is a low mid game. Arc is better. 😂

[magic rose]

I lowk be playing on my phone camping exfils with a wstr till I hear footsteps.

[tardy wraith]

Ok

[hot geyser]

With the right mods, they run rly well at multiple distances forsure

[soft vault]

Nah mine are like 35 mins or 30 mins. About the same as a hunt match. I have longer For Honor matches

[oak rain]

Thank you for your service

[grave smelt]

Weird a server. First time seeing so much people disagree with this

[vapid veldt]

Naw lol. Not much gear, anyways. I do occasionally bring stuff in but i now save my best stuff for Cryo Archive, because I refuse to loot until all squead are wiped. Was unable to complete a SINGLE Durandal contract because of sweaty aggro players

[tardy wraith]

Hunt showdown is first person with cowboys so its automatically better than Arc.

[scarlet field]

never stop doing toxic gameplay, we need to weed players out

[upbeat hare]

I might give it a try, I know some of my tarkov friends were into it! Yeah I was surprised that Marathon opted for hitscan and bullet magnetism rather than actual ballistics, especially for snipers

[cyan sonnet]

If you’re playing on your phone
I dont blame you this is just evening the playing field

[hollow cosmos]

Bruh.

[oak rain]

Smiled reading this, knew it was an Arachne before i saw the logo

[unkempt flume]

ah yes the old nokia wstr shotgun strat been there b4

[leaden maple]

if im looksmaxxing will marathon help me achieve my goals?

[hybrid crypt]

I don’t loot at all ??? Go kill the other teams and loot their bodies wtf uf you can’t survive in regular marathon tf makes you think you will in cryo?

[celest folio]

mmm i love getting 1, 2 ,3d by teams on marsh and getting obliterated in .01 seconds 🤤

[hot geyser]

rook strong together. I lived by that motto until I unlocked WSTR for my rook. Now rook strong solo.

[hard blaze]

Maybe I need to play it again, cuz its been literal years but when I did play it felt awfully underwhelming and the "gameplay loop" felt very dry. People just purposely waited till last minute to bum rush bosses. Maybe the meta has changed since then.

[lucid rain]

Bungie can we just turn off matchmaking unless you have a premade? It would solve so many complaints.

[sturdy sun]

Oh? You play outpost? Try perimeter (beginner)

[median jetty]

AYE AYE

[scarlet hare]

Hell no stinky

[vapid veldt]

Bruh lol. Im getting better at the game. Ive server wiped multiple times, but im not the best player haha.

[hard blaze]

bro would have hated Gears of War

[flint surge]

It would solve the complaints about player counts being low because they would quickly approach zero and nobody would talk about the game anymore. 😉

[oak rain]

This is Marathon, the hottest character in the game is the Sekiguchi faction leader

[hexed gazelle]

I did in fact not enjoy Gears of war pvp

[median jetty]

chat mpreg this man

[grave smelt]

Mmmm...

[sudden nymph]

i agree some free kits are decent that doesnt change the fact that someone risking gear shouldnt be on the same team as someone who is

[vapid veldt]

I dont loot Cryo until everyone is dead. I’ll loot everywhere else.

[hard blaze]

2 piecing someone with a shotgun in that game felt so good.

[dense stone]

discord just asked for my location... sus

[sturdy sun]

The monkeys paw claims another

[lucid rain]

Solos can just play solo. Leave trios for the premades. This is the only way.

[magic rose]

Tryna see sekiguchi’s sekiCoochie frfr

[tardy wraith]

When i first played Hunt during its early-access before the Assassin even dropped. The game's performance was literal shit from a butt till 1.0 dropped. I stuck with it before tho cuz there was something special there, it just needed to be refined.

Marathon is kind of in a similar situation rn

[last flint]

nah its obv vulcan

[sharp briar]

aight imma head out

[median jetty]

AYO FRIENDLY FIRE

[unkempt flume]

yo can we buff the hardline pr kits man IF I BUY A BLUE TRAXUS KIT IT SHOULD HAVE A FKN SCOPE

[grave smelt]

We've mpregged him out of existence

[still hollow]

I fucking love this game GOD DAMN

🐸

[visual stump]

Real. I also love how she's both dead and alive in the loading screen

[flint surge]

Having a separate queue for trio fills and premade could be neat. But it would drastically increase queue times I would think.

[hard blaze]

Perhaps I'll redownload it 🙂

[warped kite]

Ugh. So I definitely heard Bingus but could not find him. Happen to anyone else?

[upbeat hare]

Blue traxus kit sucks fr

Jump Scare

https://indeed.com

[plucky valve]

I get this. I started looking at. It a different way recently to help me get less annoyed. Basically, when I play fill crews I just look at it as our kill. The free kit that loots a dead body gets better survivability anyway and that helps the team and thus me in the grand scheme of things 🤷

[sand atlas]

All traxus kits

[sturdy sun]

Heart attack imminent

[brave aurora]

Arc wishes it had the sound engine and ballistics mechanics of Hunt.

[grave smelt]

Yep

[hot geyser]

Temuxus

[flint surge]

Although I have played solo and the game is interesting solo, it is obviously designed and balanced around trios.

[hard blaze]

Arc Raider trolls shaking in their boots

[hexed gazelle]

I bet it did, I just didn't like it. Regardless of how good it is, not for me.

Same in this game, bubbleshield and shotgun jousting is just straight up not expressive of who the better player is.

[bright rapids]

I'm pretty firm on the bad performance not being fixed from server slam having a huge impact on purchase numbers. Definitely hope they can figure out how to optimize their game

[proven kernel]

Please don't post links to jump scare sites, thanks.

[unkempt flume]

I STG like why give me this dookie gun and just to add more icing on the cake not give me a scope

[still hollow]

That’s my Ellie

Idk about sound engine honestly. Embarks sound is unparalleled already because of the technology behind it

Console folks were begging for Bungie to add cursor speed setting since the server slam. Launch came out and we all were disappointed how it wasnt a last minute integration. Server slam felt so little of an improvement to launch.

[flint surge]

If a person is in my trio fill and I have a backpack shields and so on already, I make sure the people without them get them right away. Them getting shields is obviosly selfish and helps my survial. But having a backpack helps them make the best out of the run. Plus if they don't have a backpack they can't collect much loot and it's unfair to them if you drag out the run when they have no space.

[upbeat hare]

Hiding and playing like a rat is a perfectly legit way to play and doesn't at all relate to shotgun jousting. Ratting and shooting someone in the back is timing, and positioning related. A skill that can be refined for a consistent outcome. Shotgun jousting is rushing at each other face first because a bubble shield lets you play fortnite build mode, and praying the connection favors you to get the down.

On this front, my buddy in my crew yesterday called out to a Rook and pretended he was a lone Rook on proxy. Said they should team up and it’s safe. Fucking idiot came out and we blasted him and took his shit (he had great stuff). Moral of the story, this isn’t Arc, if we can rat you we will.

Hey guys; Question.

Sometimes it seems like there are players literally standing next to bots.

I just killed a blue shield bot and it was casually standing next to a player that immediately shot me as soon as I started shooting the bot...

How is this happening, how can I avoid it, and why is this allowed?

[chrome hawk]

A rook killed me and two of my teammates ran for their lives after just being next to me, you can’t make this shit up.

[manic pond]

Marathon is built to be sweaty and toxic, contracts are not shared, loot is not shared, it is first come first serve. So yes the player experience is going to suck for rando queuing, people taking the loot that you worked hard to get keys for and planned for and they came in with a free loadout and took your purple loot. So until Bungie can figure out how to change the game from a sweaty sauna that is toxic to a collaborative team game, the game is going to lead to a lot of rage quitting, and people walking away from the game for something like ARC or something else.

There is no chance for casuals at this point tbh, especially joining the season late. Imagine loading into your first dire marsh with the homies proudly rocking your green shield only to get spawn rushed by a purp/gold team in literally 50 seconds.

[unkempt flume]

there is a vent

[leaden birch]

just for the record

a mod manually deleted my last post, not me

i actually think that's a rule violation, as nothing in my post was against TOS, but i'll leave it at that

[leaden maple]

its their opinion, what rule does that break?

[hot geyser]

perimeter is for scrubs

[dreamy bobcat]

remove the limit

[ancient fern]

Loot priority. Delta Force does this for key rooms and even players you full kill. It's like a 60 second countdown to loot whatever you want and leave the scraps for loot goblins. So many loot goblins in that game have been deterred by loot priority.

I'm a solo player though so whether or not they do this doesn't really affect me much

[cosmic forge]

Out of curiosity, other than new shells and maps, what sort of content would you like to see introduced?

That's absolute garbage... that should 100% not be in the game lmao.

I've not seen much else that's problematic design besides Bots and players being very difficult to quickly distinguish... but that is absolute terrible design if that's the case.

[potent coyote]

what vent? how can the force field be enabled if wing is opened?

They probably mean that you dont get xp for someone else's contract. Which is not as black and white as they think it is

Yes, with bots so you can test your abilities. Marvel rivals range is genuinely perfect to test abilities n stuff

Goblins are kewl, and I am a loot goblin, but I believe there's a way to be an ethical loot goblin and not vacuum up everything a player may have earned in some way haha. Loot priority could be an alright way to do this for trios and random fill duos, trios mainly

[twin carbon]

My bad, thought you were another guy with a similar profile picture and name

[zealous venture]

I'll catch them after the seasons wrap 🫡

[manic pond]

if each teammate has a different contract in separate sections of the map, that is not a shared contract. you might get rewards from a contract finishing but if it wasn't your contract it is not progressing your faction contracts

[leaden maple]

yea rules are pretty important to have and exist for a reason, because whats considered "net negative" is subjective and you know that. you can talk about player numbers because you like the game and are concerned about its future, whys that make someone a net negative?

[hot geyser]

First episode of DD is out already right

[oak rain]

And pizza hut deals on friday. We up boys

[pallid sequoia]

i just want to be healthy 😔

[flint surge]

I don't understand why people try to treat the game as sociopath simulator. If someone is in my crew, I treat them as a member of my team. It doesn't matter if they have free kits or whatever. And if they have free kits and we are in Outpost, it's no problem at all to me for them to get some cheap backpack, a shield and some cheap green gun. It is pretty easy to find those in Outpost and they are nearly worthless to me. Suddenly after they get those items, it's like they loaded in with gear! Especially a green gun. It feels like usually they will find a better gun within the first minute.

[quasi flower]

you are literally doing different contracts tho? what does your mind understand by being shared

[maiden trout]

Yeah and two episodes come out tomorrow

[dreamy bobcat]

icl i dont think anything is healthier than a dad bod in this economy

[tardy wraith]

Ia dad bod just genetics and 4 bottles of Bud light everyday?

[sand rampart]

Yeah man I'm pretty sure the guy who's been concern trolling over playercounts is definitely the intended audience of the game, and not at all just expecting the devs to pander to a more casual audience

Just by moving about you lose weight passively. Like doing the 10k steps a day or something like that. Just Dance surprisingly helped me lose a ton of weight because I kept moving

[bitter fossil]

arc lost the same percentage if not more; its the fate of games that intial hype dies off... we are fine...

[jaunty crystal]

game needs something but im not sure a clan will do anything lmao, how about they take care of solos first?

[maiden trout]

I prefer week to week because I interact with movies and tv on a deeper level and like discussing themes and what not in between episodes while I theorize what they could lead to and let the story breathe

Except invincible in this case I’ve read it all front to back I think I know where this season will end

I just think this game needs to appeal more to solos. But some hardcore Bungie fans will say “watch the lore, you were never MENT to play solo” like tf?

Oh, I didn't mean to imply I was going to binge them. I'll still slowly watch them when they come out and think on them, I just don't like starting something and then the austic hyperfocus kicks in and I have to wait 😭

[sand rampart]

So true.

[proven kernel]

hihi! Super tired lol.

[flint surge]

PvE won't make the game more popular and defeats the whole purpose of the game. A game similar to Marathon that was designed from the ground up to be PvE would be interesting though. Something with a few minutes that you grind through with a lot of random changes, events, puzzles, etc. It could be a lot of run.

[dreamy bobcat]

Sincere question, what in your opinion is the purpose of Marathon ?

[soft vault]

Most of ur weight is lost by just being alive and moving around. Exercise hardly burns anything additional. It's all diet from my experience. I did a starvation diet and I shed so much weight. It was miserable but I'm so glad I did. Ahctam counting calories and treating yourself once a week will pay you dividends fast. I recommend cardio, or HIIT, like Norwegians, to burn fat and build cardiovas endurance fast. It really works

[dreamy bobcat]

[vernal loom]

speaking about girl whose message was deleted, she is not concerned. she is just doom posting every single fucking time. no one take her serious, shes like the local clown.

and we are at our lowest record night players AND lowest record day players on the SAME 24 hour period

then i don't know what more you "could" care about ... it doesn't even have to be PVE mode
Clan Update, Crew Merge, Friendly Tags, Honor System, SOMETHING
this game 100% is going to stagnate without the casual playerbase

even if Bungie doesn't shut it down out of spite, even the PvP updates will be non-existent

How about, instead of babbling about steam charts for the 50th time, they find things that they personally dislike about the game and discuss them with other players? Oh, wait, most of the doomposters won't do that because they don't play the game anyways.

[flint surge]

I thought originally it was supposed to be a PvPvE game with equal amounts of PvP, PvE and looting / exploration. So you would go into a run and at every moment have tension, thinking that another crew could be behind any corner.

It turns out to be very PvP focused to the extend that they tried to make everyone get into PvP in the first minute of a run. So instead there is no tension. You know in the closest PIO there will be another crew to kill, so you kill them and maybe go to another PIO and kill them. Then other than rooks the tension more or less goes away because it is unlikely you run into another crew, other than possibly at exfil. You just go around looking playing a PvE game.

I would have preferred what I thought it was going to be like originally honestly.

[reef crag]

Damn what did I walk into lol 😂

[maiden trout]

It’s currently the 50th most played game out of the entirety of steam and we’re acting like that’s a bad thing

you realize that if i derive all of my opinions from other people (i don't) it would mean the majority of people share the same views as me?

[neon parcel]

the game was so fun before the last few days..... now our sweat to normal person ratio is cooked and its no longer nearly as fun

[last flint]

sekiguchi worm fine asl

[celest magnet]

The game with a player base that helps each other and has a player count of over 100k?

[onyx kite]

holy fuck you're telling on yourself 😭

[oak rain]

Thats the Cyberacme faction leader

[neon nexus]

And it’s only gonna get worse

[tardy wraith]

Are you a human?

[soft vault]

I wish we could make loadouts. Like buy weapons in Hunt in premade loadouts if they're available in the store. Am I crazy

[shadow epoch]

Yall think this game will go on sale soon? I have a lot of friends that wanna play but don’t wanna pay full price

[dreamy bobcat]

icl i get touched by bots more than i do players, dont know what your smoking

[neon parcel]

Yeah we're going into the dark and darker timeline i believe

[jaunty crystal]

kisskay is annoying about it but theres some truth to it

[tame jewel]

They clearly are more interested into pve so yes

[leaden maple]

i play the game and i acknowledge its dying because its not catered to a casual audience, and doom posting is completely fair to do as a consumer of a product, you paid for a live service product. what successful gammes censors discord about player counts? plz tel me lmfao

[toxic cobalt]

Yeah that's cool. But clearly on it's way down, it still has not levelled off, or even better would be to see an incline rather than decline

[jagged monolith]

Yo; what are people doing about Sun Shaft lighting? There's no way the shit I just had to play into is supposed to be; I couldn't see anything it was just fully blinding.

Is there a setting I can change to make it less absurd

[grave smelt]

Deriving all opinions from other people doesn't in any way indicate the quantity of people let alone their ratio to the rest of the people

[dreamy bobcat]

forgot that game existed, my wallet didnt

[onyx kite]

they literally proved my point with this response 😭

[simple juniper]

I only get to play on Wednesdays and Fridays basically

[naive pine]

If it’s a game they want to play, think they would enjoy, and want to keep playing…they should pay full price. It’s already priced pretty damn well.

[flint surge]

I will never play that game. They didn't even bother to hire voice actors even with all the money they had to make the game. 😉

[magic rose]

I just want endgame solo content. And people act like it’ll be a travesty if bungie does pivot to giving us solo players anything

[desert spoke]

I feel like pinwheel loot got nerfed recently

[pallid sequoia]

people are placing claymores on top of thief drones 😫

[neon nexus]

As people get more kitted out the new player experience will get worse and worse, which will inevitably continue the spiral of sweats becoming a larger part of the population as casuals leave

[last flint]

gng has so lil of a life that they are in a game discord doom posting

[shrewd swan]

Why is this discord a dumpster

[umbral comet]

Guys just play crimson desert when im mad at the game i just go steal peoples ducks

[oak rain]

But many people play the game to exclusively avoid pvp, its not necessary for alot of things.

[fluid smelt]

when solo queue in rank, do you queue against other solos?

[grave smelt]

Me and my friends do that a lot 🐭

[sand rampart]

Just say you have nothing of value to add and just want attention for doomposting

[snow umbra]

would you play a PvE only mode if they added it

[simple juniper]

Who has worked out today and done their mobility work

[leaden birch]

i'm in my Season 80s, VIP in all factions, MAXXED out in Cyber and NuCal, i have 500k wallet, 400k vault, and Silver Rank 1 in RANKED

y'all want SO BAD for me to be a poser, but i'm not

[magic rose]

Battlefield strat frfr

[upbeat hare]

okay but what does doomposting accomplish

[regal notch]

people like KissKay93 are AI agents, they get control of discord accounts and try to farm reactions, people clicking their profiles, etc

2. everyone trolling KissKay93 and reporting her, her in-game honor is on the lowest possible level
3. KissKay93 coming to marathon-general-chat and crying about how toxic and unfair is this game and it need to delete honor system

[hot geyser]

but can you complete a captcha

[soft vault]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[onyx kite]

impressive digital life you have there

[flint surge]

I don't want to avoid PvP it is just boring starting each run with a quick match of Call of Duty. I liked it better when it first released and I would be more likely to meet another crew later, when we both had a lot of loot. So there was more to lose and the calculation of what to do much more complex.

[oak rain]

If its a actually fleshed out with care and attention yes. If its just the maps with uesc then no

[sharp briar]

lowkey dying to know what the carri event is about

[leaden maple]

lol anything to justify loving the game eh, i get where ur coming from 😉

heres a thought, you can love a game and acknowledge its dying and be objective about it, try it out sometime . i like marathon, but i can clearly see why its not doing well

[neon nexus]

We aren’t in the dip yet, a dip requires a floor. We haven’t hit the bottom of the player count yet

Yes you did bro. You join a space for people who like something only to shit on it you better expect the right to refuse service to hit you. People like you are such snowflakes.

any tips to have fun in the game again as a solo, have barely played in 2 weeks

[tardy wraith]

The "we are here" like im a reading a theme park map rlly helps puts this in perspective

[oak rain]

But that’s indicative of the game being new as players min max and optimize you will see less and less of that.

[toxic cobalt]

Sure and hopefully that's the case but any successful Live Service game had some incline in the first few weeks, they dont just continue down... I love the game but it's a tiny tiny game, it really needs a lot more content. I dunno how much longer I can play myself before I can't take any more lol.

[magic rose]

I tried to become ‘that guy’ in Arc Raiders… Failed miserably

Thought I was finally ready to become “that guy.”

You know the one. The player who stops being friendly, stops hesitating, and just accepts that Arc Raiders is a ruthless ladder climb.

Loaded in today fully committed.
Good gear. Solid ammo. Extraction route planned.
Inner monologue on repeat: “No mercy. It’s part of the game.”

Then I hear footsteps.

Perfect setup. I crouch behind some scrap, peek the corner, and there he is, another raider, breaching for loot, completely clueless.

Easy kill.

I aim down sights.
Finger hovering.
This is the moment I’ve been hyping myself up for.

And then he turns around.

Not scared. Not aggressive. Just… looking at me. Like, “oh hey, another human trying to survive this mess.”

Suddenly he didn’t look like loot anymore.
He looked like a dude who also spent 20 minutes dodging Arc's and praying for a blueprint.

And I froze.

All that tough talk about becoming a cold-blooded PvP monster? Gone.
Couldn’t pull the trigger.

We awkwardly stared at each other, did the universal flashlight wiggle of peace, and went our separate ways.

Turns out I’m emotionally built for co-op, not betrayal.

Tomorrow though… tomorrow I swear I’ll do it.

i'm honestly starting to think it's "you guys" that don't care if the game fails, and "not me"

is nobody going to admit we need the casual players? are we seriously going to deny the obvious, and when the inevitable comes just move on to some other game like Marathon never happened?

in my last post, i even conceded alternatives to a PVE mode and y'all still be hating on me
so what? we just CHANGE NOTHING and hope that "jesus" saves Marathon? come on now...

you waste $40 on this game to load in solo and sit in the corner. You load in the game and sit in a corner and wait you load in sit in the corner and wait and then kill somebody that doesn’t even have a free kit. nothing in the inventory you load in and sit in a corner on an invisible class and you wait for nothing just to risk dying at the ex

there does need to be a more relaxed mode or something for casuals. as it stands random que is mostly useless, and pre formed squads dominate (pretty much same as any other game)

i don’t mind the sweats when i’m with my buddies, but random que is very bad

[frozen orchid]

oh no my game only has 25k people playing on a monday evening

Nobody cares. 88k to prob 35k by end of season 1. 15-20k end of season 2. Season 3 end shutdown 😭

[leaden birch]

write to your bungie senator

tell them that they should consider a PVE mode for S2, or S3 at the latest

if you don't agree with that, suggest "team work" updates, such as Crew Merging, Friend Tagging, or a Clan System, something OPTIONAL that allows players to work together and promote "team play" so that casual come to the game, buy it, and spend money on the cash shop

p.s. - i'm NOT, in fact, the world's most sofisticated AI bot

[vernal loom]

marathon need relaxed cozy mode where you play for the queer witch shell and you have a cat and a garden and you can decorate your garden and grow flowers and plants ans sell them (to earn credits) and you can walk there with your friends and fishing and there aren't even uesc just you and you friends all queer witches and also cats and dogs and garden

It is!!! Well…5 more days and it’s been a month. 88k to like 30-35k peak. I expect. For 2 more months to drop 20-25k to 10k? Idk that’s seems too much.

[turbid condor]

yeah idk about all that 🤣 i prefer to play the game sweaty but i see why people want a more casual mode. the majority of gamers are casuals. alienating them is not a good marketing strategy

[neon nexus]

Peaks have dropped 45k+ in 3 weeks but them dropping another 30k in multiple months is a bridge too far?

[upbeat hare]

they are though

[scenic hollow]

can a blue Deluxe Key Template turn into a green lockbox key!??

[grave smelt]

Yeah no, when your teammate gets killed especially if it is someone ratty (rooks are by definition) your first instinct should be that they use your teammate as a bait

[dreamy bobcat]

where are we finding these stats guys

[oak rain]

Teamwork and coordination is for the weak

[bitter fossil]

they also ate the fucking green fruits on tater plants and obviously got ridicilously sick / died from it

and we can crack sekicoochie, traxussy, cybercrame, andevery shell

[vernal loom]

there is more than one marketing strategy at the market

[simple juniper]

Yeah, I think there is a core of prolly 20k dedicated players. I could see 35k dropping to 20k but I think it’ll hold there

[north oar]

taking care of the bobs as durandal and other AIs?

[tardy wraith]

I care too little about stickers in this game. So lame.

[neon nexus]

That’s a guess not backed up by any real player numbers

[turbid condor]

yep you usually get 2x of a sticker and you can apply it to a gun, you can transfer it to another gun if you want after

[maiden trout]

Am I crazy or does Durandal lowkey want me

[leaden birch]

from the National Institution of Health :

"" Protests for positive causes often turn negative due to high-stakes emotions, frustration over slow change, and the need to attract media attention. Underlying factors include anger over injustices, a "negativity bias" where people react more strongly to perceived threats than positive gains, and the belief that disruptive tactics are more effective than peaceful ones. ""

i am trying my best here ...

[simple juniper]

That’s true, at first I was just guessing based on trends that’s however just my own best guess

[lime ridge]

I am UESC

[tardy wraith]

At least the stickers aint Ai generated

[chilly remnant]

and again you only see steam players, nothing else, so completely irrelevant statistic

Idc if we get a PvE mode but I think it would help player count. I’m lobbying for an Arena mode so I can shit on the campers who keep hollering about “PoSItiOniNg” when they know damn well they ambush or hide to get their runner kills. Can’t hide in the Arena 🤣

[chilly remnant]

source?

[dreamy bobcat]

its a sony game? with both consoles able to play it, what are we smoking

[neon nexus]

Arc has much more data to go off of, and a still larger user base much longer into its life 😌

[bitter fossil]

99% of shells exfil before they HIT BIG on cryo

[remote cargo]

trust me bro i saw it on tiktok

[maiden trout]

I should finally watch the new Sam raimi movie

it would totally destroy the playerbase its split enough as it is, PVE bots can just go play arc raiders or whatever

Sonys live service games have always performed better on PC

[kindred stirrup]

Me when I fill randoms and bring my own kit instead of a free one 😭😭😭

[tardy wraith]

Placement options and if they werent limited like destiny shaders. Destiny shaders are more forgiving cuz it changes entire color and can be bought. Stickers are on the other hand are like 1-2 time use with a roster of 28 weapons.

[bitter canopy]

Finally someone like me

[pallid sequoia]

I'm fine with like 10k

[leaden birch]

40k per run at a vault/treasure room in Panopticon is pretty standard

i almost reached 40k the first time i cracked Panopticon (lvl 4 clearance) with a team

i'd suspect the numbers are higher for actual Vault Keys/Compiler, but yeah, it's pretty nuts

[neon nexus]

Surely you can see the publicly available most popular games list on PS and Xbox and realize the game is much less popular on consoles

[bitter fossil]

bungie carefully selecting the worst freekit console players known to man when I chose to "gear up proper" for a good outpost carnage run

I changed my name in marathon to UESC RECRUIT maybe it’ll mess with slow people or confuse no mics who run with randoms, or drunk people

That reminds me I need to do turn on full matchmaking when I queue into cryo with a free kit

[vernal loom]

let's all talk about how hot Recon's echo sensors are. I want to lick them.

[maiden trout]

Why yall automatically associate free kit with bad?

I walk em down and run pockets with any kit

No update tomorrow?

[willow beacon]

oh for sure, arc is entirely fine, games can easily keep running after losing 75% of their playerbase.
I am glad, the more games running the better for us.
Everyone cheering for a game to fall is a company shill and enemy of the people

co-evo 4/5 is probably the most obnoxious challenge i've had to do so far

[neon nexus]

Paul Tassi has backed up the idea that PS + Xbox make up less than 35% of Marathons total userbase, and the lack of popularity on both consoles makes that easy to believe

[blissful parrot]

is there a lfg?

[kindred stirrup]

MIDA free kit is my second wife. Don’t tell my first one

[limber raft]

But that’s CoD though… ranked CoD players aren’t camping. And I’m not talking about CoD Warzone I’m talking about the core CoD. I’m not a CoD guy I’m a Halo guy too btw

[bitter fossil]

yea but I genuinly get people where like, I mean they move? sure?... How do I put this?

[prime phoenix]

Noticed when I moved to PC how SLOW turning left and right is on console. So that doesnt help either

[slender crescent]

Do it

[leaden birch]

no lol, but i get out more times than i don't

a lot of my issues stem from playing FILL most of the time, and other players getting too greedy

i exfill about 60% of the time in Cryo, and about 90% of my failures are from not having an exfill due to lost team-mates (their clearance cards go to the other team)

[neon nexus]

Refusing to listen won’t change the facts of the matter

[digital pelican]

I looooove cryo archive

those 👄

[turbid condor]

this is probably a meme but here’s the information for anyone curious

https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/marathon-has-sold-12m-copies-across

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2026/03/24/new-marathon-sales-playercount-reports-are-close-to-reality/

this is the only really solid basis of player count(obviously besides steam chart), it comes from Alinea Analytics, and was commented on by forbes journalists who are known to have close relations with bungie employees

so it’s not concrete but Alinea Anylitics is pre reputable

Battlefield sniper gameplay is 85% hardscoping from 300+ meters

10% getting blown up by air support

And 5% finding your sniping spot

guys can we stop dooming over the player count, i didnt see people dooming over cyberpunks playercount on release

Campers on CoD aren’t getting rewarded like Campers on Marathon but you’re right though about Shipment lolol especially Hardcore mode Shipment 🤣🤣🤣

my god good luck out there runner.

[blissful parrot]

found it!

[bitter fossil]

My issue isnt even that console players are all stupid cuz thats not true, but the general distribution of console players sadly tends towards the terrible ones. I absolutly had good ones and I respect them as I do with any competent players. But a MAJORITY cannot compete against a fucking kitted triple purple slam team

[proven kernel]

What if I spend most of my time counter-sniping the snipers with a DMR that doesn't have scope glint?

[upbeat hare]

single player games dont really have competition

[dreamy bobcat]

honestly i feel like jfk when i set foot near intersection

[leaden birch]

i posted these links maybe last week or something

people just don't seem to care, especially after the numbers have dipped so much, but i support your links

[boreal quiver]

my 30th attempt to do a certain traxus quest on perimeter, wish me luck

[astral lynx]

this community sucks so bad bro like why we gotta be toxic-😭

[grave smelt]

Oh yeah? I bet I run faster than the physical edition of RDR2

[maiden trout]

Well it’s not counter sniping if you don’t have a sniper now is it

[willow beacon]

If this one shuts down I can go and play dark and darker again to play my extraction game that is running on max. 5k peaks for years now :'D ❤️

[lime ridge]

“Dead game…”
good I don’t need posers playing my dope ass game

[bitter fossil]

oh and mortar always deactiated ahhahahaha just like on bf2 bad company

Alinea did the analytics, and Paul confirmed with folks at bungie

[shut needle]

Jesus Christ lmao

[dreamy bobcat]

is that still up? I lowk forgot about it bc of a siege update

[heady charm]

Yeah! Just trying figure out which shell will suit me!

[bitter fossil]

Hardcore extraction shooter targeting a specific niche
Its not a hit

[teal crown]

Anyone know if Destroyer's ult can track invisible targets ?

[dreamy bobcat]

join the vandal supremacy

[strong temple]

Is it just me or is a v-11 punch with 6 volt ammo and no meds a better budget kit than a sponsored free kit 💀

[grave smelt]

Yes, there is even a codex entry for that

[shut needle]

Go by raw sexual magnetism

[bitter fossil]

If playerconversion is halfway decent they can expect going profitable in this year

[sharp briar]

will you be playing solo or trios, that should inform your shell choice. but nothing wrong with doing some runs on all to see what you like best

[willow beacon]

even got an update recently 4k playing right now, but the community is going strong
Still wish we would get more updates but the team is smalll obviously

[turbid condor]

i mean the information is there if people want to read it XD i don’t care either way, i enjoy playing the game, if there’s less people playing it doesn’t bother me outside of longer matchmaking times

the player count is not something i pay attention to but the data is there

[vernal loom]

thats why I am Recon mainer

[teal crown]

Oh like it can actually lock on them just by looking at them ? that's awesome

[bitter fossil]

The one turning you on the most

[upbeat hare]

Damn lol, have to take a nap while I wait for RDR2 to load in

[heady charm]

Heard dying is apart of the learning process!

[onyx kite]

I'm a sexual mag main

[zealous coral]

thief

[storm vessel]

Is lockdown worth doing for the loot at this point?

[bitter fossil]

Losing everything in the lose everything ship builds character

[shut needle]

Thief/vandal for me too

[sharp briar]

what is this, some kind of... Marathon?

[supple acorn]

quick question : if you are a vandal and have the core that gives you signal jammer when you powerslide, can you powerslide through a tads ping and not get picked up at all?

[grave smelt]

It is. If you want to take it slow there are unlimited free kits in the armory.

Also there is rook which is basically that but even better

[heady charm]

I dont have much friends so I joined here to maybe get some

[sick acorn]

Sure. You can get keys

[proven kernel]

Yep!

[dreamy bobcat]

vandal is the undeniable goat

[onyx kite]

great q

[fringe raft]

yes

[bitter fossil]

yes

[storm vessel]

Oh I didn't know that

[somber condor]

Based idea but also power slide noise

[coral cloak]

I thought the debate was the % of players on pc vs console, the analysis shows about 70% on pc

[supple acorn]

yes! yes!!!! YES!

[turbid condor]

honestly i just tried them all out and picked what’s the most fun

if you enjoy a support role or more forgiving shell for a first timer, i recommend triage

[shut needle]

Very respectable even more so cause it’s an off meta shell

[willow beacon]

Every death now is just making it feel even better when you wipe your first enemy squad.

[upbeat hare]

adding friendly fire would quadruple the player count

[zealous coral]

arena pvp mode could be awesome

[sick acorn]

Destroyer is goated

[supple acorn]

vandal main here. barely touched the other classes, shes so fuckin goated

[proven kernel]

Just use the weapon mod that gives you signal jammer effect when you aim down sight for a second or two...

[bitter fossil]

not only that, but you often get purple shit you need to upgrade the corpos with and decent guns!

[heady charm]

Also uh Skin

[turbid condor]

it’s sad that 90% of recons kit gets hard countered by turning yourself pixelated 🤣

[sharp briar]

arachne wants your skin

[bitter fossil]

minijammer my beloved based for recommending it

[somber condor]

Friendly fire would make this game insufferable. People already complain about needing friends to enjoy the game fully. Imagine if your random fill teammate wastes 25 minutes of your time to cap you at exfil cause you snagged the purple drop.

[vernal loom]

beta safe game

[frozen orchid]

i cant stop using triage

[sand rampart]

crazy that even the article you supposedly read recognizes that changing the game to pander to casuals would fuck things up

[dreamy bobcat]

arachnussy can have my skin!

[naive mason]

how to change game region....

[grave smelt]

Player picks Recon
Dies

Wrong @

[sharp briar]

stop it, get some help.

[somber condor]

Way better mods imo but that fixes the slide issue

[storm vessel]

How much of a pain is it solo

[vernal loom]

drain him

[bitter fossil]

I forgot to praise Repeater today! Millions must use repeater hbr, billions even

[upbeat hare]

oh I know lol, it would be a chaotic nightmare

[onyx kite]

repeater hbr slaps

[proven kernel]

I don't disagree, just a suggestion since they mentioned noise lol.

[amber sorrel]

Yo is there anyone that can help me on my first play of this game?

[simple juniper]

Everyone’s toxic, either they are being toxic in how they play or they are toxic in here

[supple acorn]

i love the gun mod that gives you signal jammer for aiming for a long time

[grave smelt]

Yes

[willow beacon]

Ohhh server is going down?
I am scared to get my hopes up for a cool patch. (even though I am already addicted)

[sharp briar]

pretty easy if you can rip through the bots and grab the loot

[heady charm]

But the ones that caught my eye were Vandal and Thief

[frozen orchid]

i keep finding them lol, my new favourite

[shut needle]

I honestly think she’s pretty good even if she is the weakest by a margin, I like using her and I know she’s gonna get some modest buffs

[somber condor]

Yesterday I had a dude come up to a crate I was looting and take my gold mod from right under me so I still griefed him tho. I would just fire gunshots randomly until a team came to us

[hollow pewter]

How long

[turbid condor]

thief and destroyer i find the most fun

[dreamy bobcat]

honestly just run into a guy with a knife, high chances youll kill em

[bitter fossil]

Wellll the thign is you need to kill bots, and with a group of friends you can clear out enemies quicker. Its not about difficulty necessarily, its about TIME (and about drive / power / we stay hungry we devour)

Doing lockdowns requires three seperate zones, each with combat. You need some serious pep in your step

[desert spoke]

Solos is pretty unfun relative to trios tbh

[frozen orchid]

i wish theyd make knife gameplay more skill based

[limber raft]

It’s iight

[willow beacon]

#server-status message

[somber condor]

Only time I ever griefed my team but also don’t be a dickhead

[rich creek]

The ranked mode sucks make it solo viable

[upbeat hare]

understandable, those randoms can be so greedy

[sharp briar]

i would say thief then, her visor highlights where lootboxes are and what the highest rarity in them is. also useful for seeing assassins in smoke

[supple acorn]

you people are crazy, i love solo. i only play solo!

[bitter fossil]

Yea its cracked lol super useful for claymore avoiding and disrespecting thermal users

[desert spoke]

Yes to both of them btw
