and downgrade how

[calm shuttle]

they'd be just as potent as the rest of the cast

[calm shuttle]

shooting them is better 9/10 times

and a grenade is better for indirect attacks

while most other tacticals provide relatively consistent utility to their shells

[vernal crest]

its just a decent opener if they're bunched up with some specific cases where the pushback works wonders

you have to think positionally with it

[calm shuttle]

i'm a vandal enjoyer dont get me wrong

but it really is rather niche

its great for scattering people who are hunkering after you jump them

but so is any grenade

nothing more satisfying than blasting someone off a catwalk though

[chrome junco]

post your best marathon gifs pls

[vernal crest]

like, comparing something that you can use for free on a cooldown to consumables, which wins

like i really do not see it as being a downgrade as much as just an addition to your toolset as an aggressive rusher and flanker

while in the case of recon, yes the spider bot runs off on its own

[vernal crest]

but if you use the recon ult pings anywhere where there's a lot of bots it is actively detrimental to you and your team because you can't tell who's who from each other easily while enemies get a big green bat signal of where the recon with an active ult is

Drone wing key goes crazy

[lofty pelican]

Is there a separate key for drone wing? Or is it the same red yellow and green keys

I’m new🥀

[next nimbus]

there's a conveyance card that grants access to the Drone Wing. It has set spawns locations across Processing, Flight Control, and under the Drone Wing. Only one spawns per match

[lofty pelican]

Bet

[foggy swallow]

hi

[tired basin]

we didnt lose today so I survive another day and must go to work tomorrow

[tired roost]

anyone have a copypasta from this channel still

[warm cape]

Which one

There’s like 15

[nocturne abyss]

went on a date today. she was not the one. didn’t understand when I pulled out the marathon steam charts. called me a “weirdo” for doing the important work of critical analysis on player counts every 30 minutes, sacrificing my time for the greater good. I bet she doesn’t even know I mod the /r/gaming subreddit at the same time. multitasking is nothing for me. but fine, leave.

that one stays pinned to my clipboard for whenever ppl show up with their steamcharts

[wind elbow]

need to quote the time the server is down for the best numbers

[edgy kestrel]

so thief is meta yes ?

[lusty panther]

No bro friendship and happiness is the meta 💙

[edgy kestrel]

for how long you can fly thief drone ?

[flat ledge]

[lusty panther]

Not too long, though it scales with the amount of joy and whimsy in your heart :D

[edgy kestrel]

bruh

okay let me check myself

[nocturne abyss]

dead game

tbh, the steam chart numbers i'm more curious about...

Why is a 3 year old COD game suddenly trending?

[lusty panther]

That’s the spirit champion 💙

[sick turret]

did we ever find out what the 'new gun + implants' as well as the 'CARRI event' in the roadmap for season 1 were?

[elfin spade]

big sale

[sick turret]

$5

[elfin spade]

it's also a 7yr old game, not 3 LOL

[nocturne abyss]

release date says 2023. I don't play enough cod to know 😂

[elfin spade]

yeah that's fair haha, that's MW2019

[odd python]

it was on battlenet for a long time

only launched on steam in 2023 along with the other previously bnet only titles

[elfin spade]

got a steam release long after launch cause blizzz

[slender saddle]

Bingus time Bingus time

[nocturne abyss]

speaking of battlenet, logged into my account recently after not playing anything on there for years and saw this and found it amusing

it's been like 6 years and they still haven't removed this 😂

[weary ledge]

I cannot post images to the feedback forum or many other channels on the server so I'm bringing my thoughts here. Why is this not unlockable in the codex? me wants

[prime knoll]

Is this satire I lowkey can’t tell

[halcyon atlas]

@static scaffold call me trash but uhhhhh.....

[prime knoll]

Sorry to clarify is the original one satire since that’s a copy paste so obviously but originally was it?

[halcyon atlas]

maybe someone can help me understand

[flat ledge]

you really came into breach protocol and @ the lead about a gameplay issue

[wispy field]

He says in the very next message that he keeps it on his clipboard to post when someone joins the server to talk about steam charts.

[weary ledge]

its not you, its the gun...

[wispy field]

Camo is the guy who runs D2Checkpoint, which is a massive service for D2, homie was not serious

[prime knoll]

Oh so the original message was a joke by that person to make fun of those people?

[halcyon atlas]

lmfao

[wispy field]

Yeah Camo is a big individual in the D2 community he was not being serious

[prime knoll]

Ok thanks for clarifying

[wispy field]

No problem

[wispy field]

The Copperhead RF hits like a wet noodle

[halcyon atlas]

yep i just dont see any scenario someone gets broken and then mag dumped and lives even all body shots

[viral forge]

full mag on only hp. literally u would be doing less than 3 damage a shot hitting literally almost the entire mag

[nocturne abyss]

it is satire. It's from the person who runs the telesto.report site/twitter account

[wispy field]

The Copperhead is known to just not kill people effectively at all

[wispy field]

The gun is simply that bad

[viral forge]

has to be a damage bug or something like there is no way its programmed like that

[nocturne abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/blushing-plink-oh-you-plink-plink-blush-plink-gif-17623570938124600835

[wispy field]

I would recommend literally anything else over the Copperhead, and that includes melee

[viral forge]

melee is the great equalizer

[feral parrot]

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Tricpk was already dead.

[wispy field]

Please don't take the bait everyone

[ocean quartz]

A classic

[feral parrot]

if anyone takes this as bait they're like 12 and should be punted

[wispy field]

Melee is not an equalizer it in fact skews shit in your favour lmao

[wispy field]

Correct

[feral parrot]

ts 10 years old

[weary ledge]

the guns just bad. they only smg worth its salt is Bully.

[ocean quartz]

I mean it's a pasta, those are generally bait

[wispy field]

The BRRT is ok

[weary ledge]

emphasis on okay

[feral parrot]

brrt is good if you can click heads

[viral forge]

yea it makes the playing feild equal. if im a white sheild and they r purple its still 2 knifes to kill them as it would be me

[feral parrot]

short range br33 essentially

v22 is hilarious if you accept the full run and gun

[ocean quartz]

Then you prestige it and it's one of, if not the best weapon in the game

[weary ledge]

have you seen Bully with the Rodeo Mag???

[ocean quartz]

Yeah it's great. Gold brrt still clears it

[viral forge]

is this the gold?

[wispy field]

You gotta check the spreadsheet on melee damage, the timing still works out in the favour of who has the most health and most melee damage

[ocean quartz]

Gold Billy is pve god

[wispy field]

Yes

[viral forge]

link?

[wispy field]

I'll see if I can find it, should be from MossyMax or whatever his name is on twitter

[viral forge]

i hardly lose knife fights because i understand the spacing and range of the knife but id be interested in seeing the actual stats

ttk for submachine guns

[nocturne abyss]

Max is hella based.

[viral forge]

on the right is health from white to purple

[feral parrot]

https://x.com/mossy_max/status/2032481639650013409

MossyMax (@mossy_max)

Melee knife damage testing! Looks like all runners can be taken down by 3 swings (besides base Rook vs. purple). With all 3 melee upgrades, you can guarantee 2 swings max to kill on any shell. Still more data needed to confirm this! I also want to time various knife combos.

can you link this one

[wispy field]

Was just about to post it, thank you

[wispy field]

I'm yoinking that for later

[feral parrot]

do we have any confirmation on volt weapons breaking shields faster or is that fake news

[nocturne abyss]

can confirm

[feral parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-marathon-game-bungie-bungie-marathon-void-gif-11924906404514426285

[viral forge]

probs placebo bc the shots auto track to targets and have better aim assit

like ur breaking sheilds faster bc ur in general more consistent

[nocturne abyss]

It's bungie. In prior games energy = better for shield. bullets = better for health

[eager mesa]

Send help gang my internet is so cooked (damn starlink)

I just wanna play the game brooo

[tough socket]

Isn't this a reference to Love Death & Robots? Or am I mistaken?

[feral parrot]

deep blue?

like the chess computer?

[hoary glacier]

Any1 know the best spots to get the red key? I swear it just doesn't exist (vault 6 key)

[tough socket]

That's what I thought

[feral parrot]

so not ldr

[maiden gazelle]

marathon has opened my eyes to extraction shooters but i hate the looks of tarkov and arc. should i tap into hunt showdown?

[pastel harbor]

if you like suffering and are willing to play with competent randoms try GTFO

[marsh zodiac]

you should check out both games that you mentioned even if you dont necessarily like the look of them they both have their own kinda thing going on, embark studios is a really cool smaller game company and im pretty sure the people behind tarkov are smaller as well.

i also agree with checking out GTFO

[tired basin]

All my friends who played hunt love it

[pastel harbor]

i heard good things about hunt

[marsh zodiac]

that game is insane

[pastel harbor]

i have 500 hours on it

i'm almost done with the game

gotta finish like 8 levels

and i'll be done

[maiden gazelle]

GTFO is on my wishlist but its the type of game id only really like playing with my friends but theyre mad broke and wont pay for it

but its on sale right now. might try to get em into it again

[pastel harbor]

i like to call gtfo the "test of your friendship" game

[marsh zodiac]

goodluck beating it ive heard that its basically impossible to finish the last levels

[pastel harbor]

nah i know people in the gtfo cord i played this game religiously for 2 years

[maiden gazelle]

im kinda all burnt out on the hyper realism style of games rn which is why im staying away from tarkov. ARC might come up later in my games but something about it just isnt calling to me.

[neon belfry]

Hunt showdown is a ton of fun

[olive moss]

GTFO is a great recommendation. Hunt too, feels marathon-y but slower

[pastel harbor]

i've got a few achievements in GTFO

[weary ledge]

it's worth a shot. i've put in 3k hours on Hunt.

[marsh zodiac]

hunt is less of an extraction shooter although similar its more so go kill this cool looking crypted and fight other people, it is a lot of fun tho

[pastel harbor]

i found schaeffer's bucket

anywho

[weary ledge]

LD&R first episode is Zima Blue

[pastel harbor]

lots of good games

[pastel harbor]

zima blue was a great episode

very philosophical

[marsh zodiac]

thats fair enough arc def has some more work to do on like world building its kinda bland atm but its a cool game and the enemy design is cool

i may just be an embark fan

so a little bias

[pastel harbor]

i want more games to return to less realism

or at least like

yeah

i want more futuristic stuff like how marathon is and stuff

bring me my rule of cool guns!

[lofty pelican]

I came in here looking for a squad to run pinwheel with and someone told me to do it solo instead. and they were so right😭

Went in with just a sponsor kit🙏

[rain crow]

is there a way to bind looting to mouse scroll

?

[marsh zodiac]

im not sure theres much you can change in the way of key binds

[lofty pelican]

I wish I had a pc so I could worry about these kinds of things. Looting on console is so damn slow🥀

[marsh zodiac]

its not that bad but ive been on controller my entire life so

[rain crow]

yeah ive noticed. would be cool if that came as a QOL change

not needed but i wish i had more freedom and could unbind things

like what if i could make interact a toggle

[pastel harbor]

just become drewsky

[rain crow]

would be nice

[pastel harbor]

frfr

[rain crow]

or cancel interacting

[marsh zodiac]

i think they said something about it in dev updates but idk

[rain crow]

yeah

[pastel harbor]

they prolly will let u do it

would be odd otherwise

really hate it when games are restrictive like that

[marsh zodiac]

i mean the game has only been out for a month so itll probably change eventually

especially since the dev teams seems to actually be listening to the community

[cobalt isle]

u know i stay loyal to the H

[polar jewel]

infil with an accord 😭

[cobalt isle]

yup

[rain crow]

ok does anyone know what to overclock to help marathons performance? ik its dumb to ask but

i heard single core perf in this game increases fps

[torn hare]

Yep

[polar jewel]

energy amp would probably work

[rain crow]

ok thanks

volt max

got it

actually what am i doing ill js stay w low fps i need this pc to last as long as possible\

[torn hare]

YESSS

[slender saddle]

What if instead of Runners...

Mpreggers...

🤔

Nah nvm I hate that I typed this out, please forgive me.

[frigid kayak]

Poggers even

[edgy kestrel]

you have many more marathons to run jogn marton

[edgy kestrel]

what if vandal feets

[frigid kayak]

vandal's feet are shoes

no toes just shoes

[edgy kestrel]

well

[flint mica]

i can rip them from the game

[edgy kestrel]

can anyone suggest me a game to play ?

i am out of options

waiting for subnautica 2

[flint mica]

slay the spire II

[wispy field]

People also HAVE to know their duo in the current iteration of the mode, so people are more confident and comfortable with fighting

[edgy kestrel]

but i doubght it will release soon

[flint mica]

slay the spire 2 is goated

[edgy kestrel]

i played the first one

but i want something more graphic heavy

idk

[flint mica]

then you’re gonna love the second one

it has multiplayer

[edgy kestrel]

i want to buy enter the gungeon 2 first

it should release soon

maybe

idk

currently i am playing resident evil requiem, jedi survivor

idk i have so many game in my steam library

but there is nothing worth playing on my 5080

maybe no mans sky and dead space

[balmy gale]

minesweeper 💯

[edgy kestrel]

stardew valley

or maybe first build of minecraft

to be fair tehre is one game that i wanted to play at ultra settings

mechwarrior 5

but idk , i played so much of it

also a lot of AAA games are so expensive

like no way i am paying 70$ for the game that will be 20$ in one year

[nocturne abyss]

Death Stranding 2 has been a lot of fun in-between marathon runs

although, I have become the worst type of player in that game...

[edgy kestrel]

hmm i see , i will wait for 20-30% discount maybe

[nocturne abyss]

15% on gmg rn

[edgy kestrel]

i might also take a look at regional pricing

you can buy giftacrds for other coutnries

create a steam account and redeem them

and get game for 40% cheaper sometimes

[edgy kestrel]

i got new fnaf game that way

[edgy kestrel]

only rank 3 ? i have already got rank 67 and pushing 69

my wife's boyfriend told me to lvl up make uesc marathon great again faction, but i am straggling with their intro quest

[torn hare]

LOL

[edgy kestrel]

grok ai told me to board uesc marathon and open 67 vaults to apply 200% tariffs on Traxus

[cobalt isle]

oni is grok

[upbeat hamlet]

for early levels triage is since you can self heal but when you upgrade your factions enough then yeah thief is real solid

Rook with the MIDA capstone

My least favorite thing about marathon is that if I overextend, or make a mistake, or rush to an exfil and die

That shits my fault

How am I supposed to play if I can’t blame someone else

[long mantle]

Who needs a wstr

[neat hazel]

why you should be friendly to other rooks yelling friendly

[hearty kayak]

Marathon on an ultrawide monitor goes hard

[neat hazel]

it's nice for sure

it gives you an advantage in many games I believe this is one of them

it gives you an advantage in counterstrike which feels crazy to me

[hearty kayak]

Especially in Marathon with the FOV situation being as it is

[neat hazel]

yea

[hearty kayak]

I couldn't do an ultrawide setup just for Marathon though

[neat hazel]

I mean I pared down monitors over time. I used to run quad 16:9s

and then I was like

this is stupid and just kinda sucks in terms of the vibes

so I went to a single 21:9

I got a window right behind the screen in the new place also. so I can move the monitor off to the side a bit and be able to watch the busy intersection near my place

I miss my portrait screens but not enough to give that up

[brazen shadow]

and then theres me

[neat hazel]

lmfao

I had a bad day today so I was like. whatever i'm gonna see how far I can get by being friendly and not trying to sneak in the slightest

and generally you can get pretty far

[brazen shadow]

i get about a 25% chance of them not killing on sight

[neat hazel]

sure some dudes will kill you accidentally or for no reason but

yeah 25% is about right

maybe a bit more

I forgive first shots

[brazen shadow]

yeah could be a bit more

[neat hazel]

there's a lot of ruthless assholes in the game I get why people are pensive and kos

[radiant thorn]

Everytime I'm a friendly rook, other rooks shoot my head smooth off. Whenever I'm a non friendly rook, I always get the nicest rook encounter.

Why is the world like this😭

[obsidian lark]

came through the damn laundry hole 😭

[radiant thorn]

You generally should just use the 'Friendly' ping if you're looking to be nice.

If you don't get a response, shoot on sight. If you do, use trigger discipline.

Unfortunately, I have NEVER gotten someone to respond with a friendly ping.

[edgy kestrel]

i have accidently downed a rook during exfil who said he was friendly

i didnt finish him off

but he literally jumpscared me

[neat hazel]

idk how to do the voice pings

hold mmb?

I just use prox

[radiant thorn]

Good man. I tried riding a final and got downed in the last 5 seconds and then a frame later (not overexaggerating btw) I was just dead. No bullets, no finisher. I assumed they that contraband gl or smth that insta kills you when downed.

[radiant thorn]

On mouse, idk, look in the bind settings.

[neat hazel]

I've had a lot of funny occasions where I've made friends with a rook and then forgot we're not on the same team and immediately walked into their claymores

or tried to revive them and instead finished them

[radiant thorn]

Me day 1 btw

[neat hazel]

but also idk yeah I don't really get why people are so mean in this game, like the only reason seems to be "it ain't arc raiders"

DayZ is more hardcore than this game and i'm still nice to people on there to an extent

I remember logging in to show my friend a current character and was like "man I really wanna hear this SKS sing" I spawned in on an overlooking hill to a small village and saw two players running around

and I had the easy jump on them, it would've been so quick and easy

but I was like. nah dude I can't do that they're playing together and having fun. and then logged out

[radiant thorn]

As a rook at one of the last exfils in dire with 10 seconds on the cloak before final exfil came up. Knew there was another rook behind me and waited for him, hidding behind the exfil pole. He didn't see me and I didn't shoot first. He saw me after like 4 seconds and I shot back and won.

Quickly walked over with 3 seconds on the extract and held the interact, thinking I could rez (it was my first run on rook and thought I could rez other rooks). Gave him a knife to the chest. :[

[neat hazel]

can't spawn in with your friends in that game you gotta find em, no minimap or anything you use basically paper maps and gotta figure out where you are

[neat hazel]

many such cases

it is a kind of funny mixup but

[radiant thorn]

It makes sense in some scenarios, in others it doesn't.

If you down me in the last few seconds of the final exfil, why not let me in? Why finish me off? You don't have time to get my loot, you're just throwing it away.

[neat hazel]

yea idk it's kinda mean but so it goes

[radiant thorn]

Some people genuinely just wanna kill everyone and forget the game is loot based too

[neat hazel]

it is fun

I like winning fights but if they're 90% of the way there then like why stop them I've already won

[radiant thorn]

If I die tryna fight you, fair enough, its the cycle of Marathon. But some people aren't sensible.

[neat hazel]

I think these sort of shades of grey in player interaction make games more interesting

that's why I think DayZ is maybe one of the best multiplayer games ever

because the amount of social freedom the game allows you is unbelievable

you can do some super fucked up shit to other players

it's a game that kind of tells you what sort of person you are

[candid yacht]

I kill people cuz they might have good loot

Why would I talk to them

[neat hazel]

sure

[neat hazel]

idk cuz it's fun

internet is for talking to people

with rook in particular it's like

you can wipe out geared dudes and get better loot

if you have other rooks fighting with you

inventory space in this game is super limited

[candid yacht]

I have plenty interactions on the internet outside of Marathon

[lusty robin]

Where is a good spot to make bug reports?

[candid yacht]

I kill everyone and dont need to share

[neat hazel]

yeah but it's cool as fuck to go in as a rook and recruit like 2 or 3 other rooks and then take down a geared trio

[candid yacht]

Rooks are KOS

Dont matter if I am one

[neat hazel]

suit yourself

[radiant thorn]

I did an entire nonverbal crouch alliance with two other rooks like a minute after exfil and we all walked up an elevator shaft ladder, walked into orange room, and immediately got shotgunned.

[flint mica]

you know the community is doing good when the memes are high quality and not just memes about how bad the game is

[radiant thorn]

Fun times

[obsidian lark]

REAL

[radiant thorn]

There were a few good ones before the game dropped

[flint mica]

well yeah

the entire cat vs worm

[elder raptor]

Season 1 events "OKSZ Security Forces Badge" - what was it given for?

[obsidian lark]

brah i needa learn 3d modelling just to make fake marathon ads this is so tuff

[flint mica]

i mean

blender is relatively simple

[neat hazel]

modelling is easy to get into and fun

CAD too

[flint mica]

i did this the other day in like an hour

[neat hazel]

I wish I had a multimaterial printer so I could print some of the guns

I am not switching filaments by hand

[flint mica]

i want to 3d print a waster

[obsidian lark]

yea blender isnt too bad. i guess i mean more texturing stuff too on the crappy models i make lol, tho maybe thats not too bad either

[neat hazel]

there's plenty of models now

[flint mica]

Yes

[obsidian lark]

damn the clothing actually looks rlly good

[neat hazel]

and ppl are selling printed ones on Etsy

[flint mica]

i have a waster model

[neat hazel]

tbh i'm excited for airsoft replicas

[flint mica]

cite the blender image i posted

of me holding two wasters

LMAO

[neat hazel]

v75 scar airsoft would go crazy

[neat hazel]

oh I mean ones suitable for print

[flint mica]

yeah the model i have is divided into parts

i’d just have to convert the files properly

but

if there are 3d print ready models out there

then i’ll probably just use those

[neat hazel]

ya that's what I was sayin

[long mantle]

V75 scar such a bad gun

[neat hazel]

nah

i'm pretty pilled on it after today

[flint mica]

okay

so

[neat hazel]

it's pretty good and INCREDIBLY quiet when silenced

[flint mica]

volt weapons

either really really good

[neat hazel]

you can't hear it from more than 30m away

[flint mica]

or really really ass

highly situational

the volt thrower

[candid yacht]

Scar is one of the better volt weapons

[flint mica]

GODLY at close range

impossible to challenge

[neat hazel]

the punch has the highest DPS in the game it seems

[candid yacht]

They are attachment dependent

[flint mica]

the scar

if you can aim

MELTS

the punch

has NO recoil

[neat hazel]

volt thrower is great for ammo eco vs bots

[flint mica]

fucking DEADLY

[neat hazel]

they all have their place in the game

I think

[flint mica]

channel rifle is the channel rifle

the lookout

DEADLY if you can aim

[candid yacht]

Channel is good fully charged

[neat hazel]

channel is also super quiet

[flint mica]

all of the weapons in this game have a spot in the sandbox

[candid yacht]

Except railguns

[flint mica]

you just need to use them correctly to be the most effective with them

[neat hazel]

it feels good as fuck to have a new shooter release and the guns are simply balanced

[flint mica]

true railguns are just bad right now

[neat hazel]

like near perfectly

[flint mica]

they need to buff them somehow

[neat hazel]

Zeus needs higher damage

ares is good

[neon lake]

Yesterday someone was arguing that railguns are better than snipers

[neat hazel]

they're not better just different

[candid yacht]

Huh 😭😭😭😭

[flint mica]

i mean, i haven’t used an upgraded railgun

so it’s hard to know

[neat hazel]

the ares has a very large projectile

[candid yacht]

They are nowhere near snipers

[flint mica]

but thermal snipers are oppressive

[verbal ruin]

not better

[flint mica]

so

it’s hard to beat that

[candid yacht]

Railguns have like 55-60m range

[desert kindle]

We’re so back

[candid yacht]

Thats almost what the m77 has

[flint mica]

i am so glad that people have discovered the M77

i’ve been using that since the alpha

underrated goat

[neat hazel]

it's the best all rounder

[flint mica]

now it’s getting the attention it deserves

[neat hazel]

the damage dropoff is pretty far and it's accurate

[candid yacht]

Is it underrated? 😭 i feel like everyone knew its the best ar

[neat hazel]

nah H-AR is best

[flint mica]

since the server slam every time i’ve had one people have been asking me how i’m beaming them so hard

[candid yacht]

HAR doesnt know if it wants to be a precision rifle or ar

[flint mica]

it’s both

[neat hazel]

yeah and that's why it's great

[candid yacht]

Slow rpm high ish dmg

Handles like a boat

[neat hazel]

har with a drum is killer

[flint mica]

it’s better with mods

[neat hazel]

you don't need to ADS it for a while

[candid yacht]

You need a blue or higher recoil grip

[neat hazel]

you shoot before ads

[flint mica]

shit on it’s own but that’s why it’s rare, cuz it comes with mods 99% of the time

[neat hazel]

skill issue sorry

it's better with one but the recoil is perfectly fine

[flint mica]

however

there is one weapon in the game

[candid yacht]

Im telling you m77 vs har i win

[flint mica]

that needs work

the v85 circuit breaker

[candid yacht]

Useless

[flint mica]

it’s good

but

[candid yacht]

So inconsistent

[flint mica]

the thing that kills it is the visual and audio feedback

you have NO idea what you’re doing with the gun

[flat ledge]

har ttk is .017 faster

[flint mica]

and that’s why it feels so inconsistent

[flat ledge]

😂

[flint mica]

the game isn’t communicating the charge up properly

nor is it communicating the shot or the hits

it’s weird as fuck

with the waster, you hear the loud bangs and the recoil is intense

with the misriah, it kicks like a truck and also is loud

the circuit breaker… doesn’t do either of those things

it hits like a wet noodle

recoils like a wet noodle

despite it being (on paper) the best shotgun

it feels horrible to use

so that’s why everyone doesn’t like it

[neat hazel]

still have yet to find any other shotgun but the wstr

[flint mica]

btw i’m a game dev so i study this shit LOL

[neat hazel]

or any sniper but the longshot

I got some loot lizard ass friends

really wanna try that bolt action

[grizzled yoke]

Is that RandalTheVandal's cousin?

[flint mica]

no

[grizzled yoke]

My mistake

[flat ledge]

i like the circuit breaker

[grizzled yoke]

INB4 a better answer

[flat ledge]

2 big lights, pretty obvious when charge is ready

has 14m range and can one shot most shields

just prefer to sell them for the money

[candid yacht]

Outland is no nice

Best feeling sniper in the game

[flat ledge]

outland is insane

[neat hazel]

yeah seems it

is it more zoomed out than longshot or nah

[flat ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/onehit-tryhard-gif-24675955

[neat hazel]

I always have to use neuro optic scopes so I can get the lesser zoom

[candid yacht]

idk I use thermals or accushot

[flat ledge]

supposed to be slow, but your this guy ^

[neat hazel]

too used to awp

so the zoom is too much

[glossy path]

/contract

[flat ledge]

\contract

[crude niche]

just got the channel rifle from hauler can't wait to try it tbh

haven't tried outland either

[azure thorn]

Per my honest opinion and possibly personal skill issue, I think it's completely outranked by the other sniper rifles

[crude niche]

yeah but it looks cool tho

[azure thorn]

Oh absolutely

Love the way it's projectile looks too, I just feel that there is no supposed positive tradeoff for the long charge time

[random portal]

Inside you are two wolves

[random portal]

V85 too

All volt weapons except v11 and v66 suck

[flat ledge]

imo all volt weapon except v11 and v66 are amazing

[azure thorn]

I'm 50/50 about that one, it's kinda crazy on triage because of the instant charge time and it's one shot potential, you just have to be so damn close to the player to be able to really utilize it because of it's in my opinion lacking range

[mighty depot]

chat what is this chat used for now that the arg is done

[azure thorn]

Marton

[mighty depot]

[grizzled yoke]

There's gotta be an idea about invis melee out there, in no game, including Destiny 1 and 2 was invis a good thing, it's bad in this also. What are we doing? lol

Solo's it's prevelant cuz most solos just hide and be invis

[flat ledge]

we are in cryo

[edgy kestrel]

V85 is a volt weapon ?

[random portal]

V22? Trash range, overheats
V75? Decent but doesn't hit headshots consistently
V85? Overrated trash

[grizzled yoke]

@flat ledge It's tuesday..

[edgy kestrel]

It uses different ammo no?

[edgy kestrel]

V85 is not trash

[grizzled yoke]

@flat ledge Are you in cryco sleep?

ahh fuck

[mighty depot]

what kind a cryo sleep are we in twin

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah

Bro

[random portal]

Wdym instant charge time
It's slow as balls to shoot and everything you want to kill is hopping around coked up

Bait

[grizzled yoke]

Just yank'd me some neuro insulation. If solos are gonna invis knife, I'm yankin' everything

[flat ledge]

it is the way

[grizzled yoke]

Here's a thought, remove Assassin from Solos, (the entire game possibly) but Solo's at least. In no way is a charater that can go COMPLETELY invisible a good idea in PVP. Whoever is the guy at Bungie that said that, after 10 years of Destiny is crazy lol.

Hunter Main here BTW

[flat ledge]

hes a crutch for sure

[grizzled yoke]

At least we could see the silhouette

[fallen nimbus]

maybe his invis should make some noise or something

[flat ledge]

i was filling solo into cryo and the assassin teammates i had except 2, were just unbelievable. I was dumbfounded that they could play the game the way they did, true iron 5 energy

[desert python]

vaults empty at the end of the season right?

[grizzled yoke]

@fallen nimbus I agree, louder

[brazen shadow]

just play theif

[desert python]

thief*

[brazen shadow]

yes sorry

lmao

[desert python]

you better be.

[brazen shadow]

actually

there

changed it back

[desert python]

awful

[brazen shadow]

:)

[brittle walrus]

i need cryo back so i can run down these guns

[fallen nimbus]

jeez

[brazen shadow]

Daaamn

[edgy kestrel]

okay i need to complete vaults so i can fight a compiler

[grizzled yoke]

That's not a solution to mechanic in the game, that's 1 situation in many that works. Invisibitly is just crazy in a game like this. Wanna make a game pvp? stop adding invisible characters..

[fallen nimbus]

I need to know your playtime

and don't lie

[brittle walrus]

I need 6 to actually drop my a subroutine this weekend so I can do 7

[brazen shadow]

I fought my first wraith warden on perimiter and I got my first cryo key, that shits gonna be in my vault forever

[brittle walrus]

Steam says I have 230 hours but I've also forgotten to close the game when leaving the house or going to lay down so I'm probably closer to 150 in reality, I'm lvl121 in game and this is how my factions look

[grizzled yoke]

Wraith warden was wild

[fallen nimbus]

dayum

[brazen shadow]

yeah man he just kept eating bullets

[fallen nimbus]

it's been like 2 weeks 😭

[brazen shadow]

to be fair we were free kitting on duo's lmao

[brittle walrus]

Just wait till you fight the diremarsh warden that dude's shield eats

[mighty depot]

you didnt read twin, its 100% now

[brittle walrus]

W

went 0 for 5 on it last weekend

[brazen shadow]

damn im not looking forward to it

[mighty depot]

emp grenade be like

[brittle walrus]

True I just perma triage ult him

triage ult into dump 3 bully mags into his head into emp and repeat

[fallen nimbus]

does EMP nade removing shields activate recons shield-breaking trait?

[azure thorn]

Do you know how triage works?

[random portal]

Never said anything about triage
Just the base gun sucks

The overcharge cores are good

[final harbor]

it should

[azure thorn]

I did and you responded to me mentioning it's instant charge time on triage.

Missed the bit about the triage then

"I hate this character!"
'play the character that counters them then'
"no! that's stupid!"

alternatively use your eyes because he doesn't even go that invisible

giwtwm

I wanna try one so bad

hoping I just find a schema at some point

[sick patio]

i just got every sniper in a solo outpost run lmfao

i was running thief

free kit

[vale geyser]

Found a texture bug on perimeter :)

[brittle walrus]

Is that a prestige marsh key?

[sick patio]

yes

[brittle walrus]

Is it ai uplink basement or top of greenhouse?

[sick patio]

greenhouse operations

[long mantle]

Prestige key ai uplink solo run

[brittle walrus]

GG + 1 Hazard Capsule

Only 2 boxes and a weapons locker

I guess if you shoot a wall or the ground it makes bird sounds

[long mantle]

Need a clip of it

[candid yacht]

happened to me a couple times where I was looking in the sky and no birds anywhere

[edgy kestrel]

pathetic rat combo

[long mantle]

?😭

In hindsight, I could have looted that prestige room better

Had purple attachments I could have put on my guns, purple implants could have replaced my blues

All I left was like a purple volt thrower tbh

My heart was pumping and I had 5 min left

[glad rock]

It's better you didn't with so little time lol. I greeded on a purple key once and then failed to reach final exfil 💀

https://tenor.com/view/gougar-gouger-cougar-googus-gif-26563443

lets seee whats happening in general

[edgy kestrel]

yeah but it is rare

[brittle walrus]

yeah im just hunting that and bully mag at this point

[candid yacht]

the bully mag is so nice

just check the store every reset

[brittle walrus]

yeah i have been

[candid yacht]

I wanna make a volt build around Triage

you can make it pretty busted with emp chips on guns plus battery overcharge cores for triage

[tame stream]

i knew orthonoligist was good when i first tested it

troll mod

[candid yacht]

do they make the sounds where the bullets impact?

[tame stream]

yea but you gotta let it aim for a good bit , it sounds like a skrac flock taking off

[woeful parcel]

Also just to come back to this. Got purp shield barter yesterday. Bought 12 purp shields and ive still got 20 of the purp material I used for em lol.

[candid yacht]

depends on rarity in terms of having to aim a while I guess

but yeah

thats busted

[candid yacht]

cryo is so good for purp mats

all those lvl 3 rooms have them in piles

[fallen nimbus]

how does it work with rapid-fire guns? does every shot make noise?

[brittle walrus]

purp shield barter is enzyme replicators right?

[woeful parcel]

Aye. But pinwheel rook runs shit out the umm@candid yacht

Whatever the cube looking one is

Too

[candid yacht]

Enzyme Replicator

[brittle walrus]

yeah those print everywhere

[woeful parcel]

Ye

Ive found

2 biolens so far

😂😂

Load of shite. Need to run cryo cargo

[candid yacht]

those dont exist as far as Im concerned

[woeful parcel]

Ye idk if my team mates get em before me or what

But ive gotten 20-40 of the other ones so far

[brittle walrus]

u get a decent amount of biolens from dire marsh lockdowns

[woeful parcel]

I need to do more rook runs for the anomaly

See if it gives em

So hard to see what it gives. Tough when you get back after a run do those little popups on right side of screen show what you got?

I forget to look at it

[brittle walrus]

nah u just kinda gotta guess what anomaly gave u

as far as i know

[woeful parcel]

Ye ill take a pic before doing runs today lol

[brittle walrus]

this is from one lockdown run on dire marsh btw

[woeful parcel]

Of my vault

[woeful parcel]

Nice. Ye need to run more of em

I need...

6 biolens? And I can get rook shotgun

So excited lol. The blue backpack already id such a game changer

[brittle walrus]

my purp and gold salvage rn

[woeful parcel]

Quick 15-20k every run in pinwheel now lol

[candid yacht]

they should real;ly show what it gives, or idk maybe when you extract it swaps to the gold salvage in the recap screen

[woeful parcel]

Ye I imagine theyll get around to it

[candid yacht]

so anomaly sample gives salvage and money?

or just salvage

[brittle walrus]

It can give u credits or purple salvage or gold salvage

[woeful parcel]

Its so funny rooking for it and so many teams just exfil the pre stabilizes sample

😂😂😂

Also was running for it last night and saw a rook exfil it. Well exfilling

I rushed him and knifed him but didnt get a down. Shouted "youre terrible" at him on prox

My trio buddy messaged me with "you mf"

[brittle walrus]

Where did u get ur prestige marsh key from?

[woeful parcel]

Also because matchmaking is region based I guess... Weve started to load into outpost as duo rook....

Bit of a tarkov feel having to tell your buddy your position all the time lol

[scarlet yew]

What if we could team up with randos mid run

In the name of bingus we are united

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1480043609079287838/1484278703986053130/pink_cat_dance.gif

[pulsar swift]

I remember in DMZ (extraction mode in CoD), you could request team-ups with nearby players and it'll create an actual squad.

[fallen nimbus]

yeah honestly, we should be able to sign a peace treaty with other runners mid-run. no pvp, sign here

[scarlet yew]

Would be cool, @devs: take notes

Team comms same way as with trios/duos mid run, somekind of invite/handshake required. Possibly friendly fire enabled to still have that tension in place so you really cannot buddy fully but mutually.

[woeful parcel]

Nah fuck all this friendly shit

Its war

😂

[brittle walrus]

Being friendly to other squads just gets u shot at extract

[woeful parcel]

Play arc for carebear lobbies

[fallen nimbus]

maybe if two runners near each other both say Friendly, they can choose to turn off pvp for like a minute

[woeful parcel]

I dont want to hear some salty bs like in arc where people get pissy over dying/getting shot

[fallen nimbus]

that's why some kind of confirmation would be nice. If you want war, just shoot em

[woeful parcel]

Nah man. Itll just devolve, just as arc has

[fallen nimbus]

idk I don't play arc

but what's wrong over there?

[woeful parcel]

Youre instantly a rat if you kill people. In anyway whatsoever

Fb infested with people posting names of people who killed them and offering "bounties" to kill them. Its a joke 😂

[ocean dawn]

aggression based lobbies, basically if you shoot anyone in low aggression lobbies they'll instantly start calling you a psycho

[fallen nimbus]

damn. this game doesn't have that though

[woeful parcel]

It would if what you propose would get implemented

[pulsar swift]

You mean Ark: Survival Evolved, the hit multiplayer survival dinosaur action-adventure game from Studio Wildcard?

[woeful parcel]

Arc raiders

[pulsar swift]

i know :>

[fallen nimbus]

what I proposed was a choice that two friendly runners could make, this game is far from friendy by default

[woeful parcel]

Yes and then everyone would expect that. Theres zero need

Talk over proxy and expose yourself if you want to "party up"

[stable cargo]

Snuck up on a Rat in Complex once and he called me a Rat lmao

[ocean dawn]

I like how marathon incentivizes you to shoot on sight through lore bits from agents etc.

[woeful parcel]

I went into pinwheel and some rook wanted to team up in the middle

Insta knifed. A destroyer upstairs tought the rook was talking to him

So I assumed the disguise and befriended him. And knifed him in the back the moment he turned around

He was in full purples

Why would you try to be friendly in full purples

😂😂

With a rook

[stable cargo]

One time I saw a dude walk into the middle of an active firefight and ask to team up

[woeful parcel]

Smh

[stable cargo]

Promptly got downed before he could finish talking

[candid yacht]

No friends here only war

[stable cargo]

tbh atp if someone asks if Im friendly I just threaten to skin them

[candid yacht]

Its pop or get pooped

[bronze robin]

This game is so unfriendly that there are no priority quests for Arachne, but they still give you cutscenes every few levels because they want you to kill other runners and level up arachne from that action alone

[edgy kestrel]

Well arc raiders community as a whole is a little bit of joke

It is too social so lots of weird interactions

[candid yacht]

Consequence of being so casual friendly

[edgy kestrel]

Well you have your squad

[steady solstice]

You need to hit them with “I’ll take pleasure in gutting you, boy”

[candid yacht]

Sure rest get pooped

[edgy kestrel]

Top 10 things that have never happened

[woeful parcel]

Dude youre like 12, get out of here already

The shotgun is a bfg already lmao

Bro you are a destiny player , I bet you are still playing with your hotwheels cars

[steady solstice]

A man is never too old for hot wheels.

[edgy kestrel]

I mean considering the weapon you get from the compiler boss fight , it wouldn't be that much out of place if balances correctly

[woeful parcel]

I wish the ignore was worked fully but thats much better

[edgy kestrel]

I lost my hot wheels collection, so now I am only playing with digital hotwheels cars

[woeful parcel]

Dude been yapping mad shit in here for days.

[edgy kestrel]

😭

[steady solstice]

Better build that back up or your man card will be revoked

[stable cargo]

Dissing someone for playing Destiny in a Discord server for a game by the same devs is wild

[ocean dawn]

this place became broken ego protocol once the ARG wrapped up

[woeful parcel]

Just white noise

[fallen nimbus]

well as long as there's people like you in this game, no one's expecting friendliness lol. I would gladly take the risk and contact another runner so we could both just extract, if there was a way to do this mutually. I know most people would just decline and shoot me anyway

[woeful parcel]

I hope you get shot everytime you ask

😂

[edgy kestrel]

At least there is no cooldown for messages like in marathon main

[pulsar swift]

@Devs, add a cooldown to this channel.

[edgy kestrel]

I think most of the time PvP is over before proximity chat starts working

Maybe in Cryo you can negotiate

[stable cargo]

Anyways
That one time I did crew fill to get a Arachne contract done and both my teammates walk into an obviously placed acid cloud plant (dunno what it's called) and then trip the lasers in the same room 4 times

[edgy kestrel]

Last week I soft locked my teammates in cryoarchives

[fallen nimbus]

ty I hope you speedrun this game to completion, get bored, and stop playing so I never have to meet you in game 🤗

[woeful parcel]

Dw that wont happen.

[fallen nimbus]

☹️

see you at extract then

[torn hare]

Real, guy sounds like an ass

[fallen nimbus]

yeah, that's why I'd like a better system to communicate than talking

[candid yacht]

What do I gain from talking to you

Is my question

[stable cargo]

Proximity chat is for sending Threats or playing soundboards to intimidate the runner you're about to grant the gift of Silence

[fallen nimbus]

me? not much, I stutter 😂
but for instance if like two runners are in a shootout at extract, even though they both just want to get out, a way to communicate that would be nice

[candid yacht]

Proxy chat there you go

[tired basin]

what if I don’t want the other runner to get out and I don’t care about looting them

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/549982120001404932/1448788255540641937/yes_you.gif

[stable cargo]

I think there's a couple things like that in the comm where already

like you can send out a comm saying you're friendly or looking for a fight

[glad stratus]

One of my favorite moments in this game, was sitting on final exfil while a team that tried to kill me rushed in.

I turned the guy who was nice to me, downed him, told him he could live.

The meanest one was rushing as fast as possible to get in, but I stood over them while they mantle up, then pistol whipped them back onto the ground and off the mantel. They missed exfil by like 2 sec.

The guy I liked got to leave.

[edgy kestrel]

[woeful parcel]

Proxy chat is not a thing? Uneasy alliances by design

If you dont trust the guy just down him and let him crawl lol

[fallen nimbus]

proximity voice chat you mean? Yeah some people just can't really rely on that, like I said
and proximity text chat is not a thing right? You can do the ping wheel thing to say friendly, but idk how and if that works well

[fallen nimbus]

you can do that too, that's a choice

but sometimes my choice would be to be friendly for a bit

[edgy kestrel]

Well in that case you should play a vandal and run around the map activating exfils until there is only one final exfil left , and then watch all teams fight for that exfil

[fallen nimbus]

damn that's evil

[edgy kestrel]

I am going to try it today on outpost

[candid yacht]

but you wanted an option and there it is already

why would you want a reliable tool to make alliances

[fallen nimbus]

because I want to make alliances

[candid yacht]

there is proxy there you go

[edgy kestrel]

It is pointless beyond cryoarchives

[fallen nimbus]

like I said, voice chat is not available for everyone

[edgy kestrel]

We need bingus to send letters of proposed alliance to enemy teams

[candid yacht]

im confused are you advocating for the 1% of the 1%?

[fallen nimbus]

guess I'll die then lol. But I'd like to have the choice at least

[edgy kestrel]

Free choice is an illusion

[fallen nimbus]

I think it's a bit more than that, but yeah, I guess.
What's wrong with more tools and choices for various playstyles?

[tired basin]

I am consistently afraid of this happening to me

hasn’t happened yet

[candid yacht]

Im just confused you have the option of the voice commands on the pingwheel and then proxy

do you want a giant yellow hand waving with a heart emote?

[edgy kestrel]

Yes

I would use that on my vandal

[candid yacht]

besides what do you get from alliances but less loot

[edgy kestrel]

It is useful for cryo

There is plenty of loot

[candid yacht]

sure I can kill em and get that loot regardless

matter of fact youre encouraged to wipe teams in cryo for clearance

and potential vault cards they have

[edgy kestrel]

If you only need clearance 3 you can make an alliance with 1 team

Actually even if you need clearance 4-5 it is better to make an alliance

[stable cargo]

From what I've seen teaming is a pretty common strat for doing compiler

[candid yacht]

and what drop your cards on the ground?

id just shoot you and kill you

[edgy kestrel]

I think they should make bigger teams in cryo

4 people team

And less teams or something

[candid yacht]

holy the fights would be horrible

[fallen nimbus]

why are you so against accesability 😭

[fallen nimbus]

extraction

[edgy kestrel]

Well yeah but for fighting a compiler it would be nice

[candid yacht]

what you can extract regardless if you ally or not

just kill em

[candid yacht]

how much more do we need im asking

you said you need options I outlined the options

you want to send emails to runners in game or popups?

I just feel the nature of this game is lost on some people

you are, right now, free to try to team

no one is obliged to, and even then they are encouraged to kill you just because of the genre

more loot = better

[candid yacht]

true those were fun too

[uneven forum]

When we gonna get some good triage skins, he has none

[candid yacht]

the Arachne one looked good

and the Cryo one is nice

[fallen nimbus]

You can do that. It's not taking away your freedom lol

[candid yacht]

you can do the opposite too I didnt say you cant

I just dont see why youd want to

[fallen nimbus]

I just want good ways of communication. VC isn't for everyone, and the ping system kinda sucks.

[brisk hearth]

I second this

tho we'll have the arachne one soon

[brisk hearth]

I personally hate other player alliances. In Tarkov it's somewhat fine if 2 go together as solos and squads are mashed together (and TTK is instant with good ammo), so you're expecting groups and can play against. In Marathon if 6 players ally against your squad I don't see you ever surviving

[fallen nimbus]

You kinda can, but it's minimal. I'd like better communication. I understand it might not be priority for the devs but right now it's kinda shitty lol

[brisk hearth]

going in vc to say "hey, I have a quest in there and don't want to fight to complete it" is fine, but beyond that I dislike it

[candid yacht]

no VC isnt "enough"

[candid yacht]

give an example

[fallen nimbus]

Right, that is dangerous territory. I wasn't thinking of fully teaming, just a peace treaty kinda deal

[brisk hearth]

like a 1~2min timer during which both teams can't shoot each others ?

still can be abused in cryo at the start for exemple tho

[fallen nimbus]

Of bad communication? Well vc isn't for everyone, like I said, and the ping system is not optimized and only gives you basics

[candid yacht]

no of the options youd like

[edgy kestrel]

I don't think it will work well. They will most likely end up shooting each other in the middle of the battle

[fallen nimbus]

Ah, well for other runners, (like where this all started), some kind of mutual peace agreement would be awesome,
and in general we just need some more ping options like 'avove', 'below', 'runners' or 'fall back'

[candid yacht]

ping options sure, but what is this mutual peace agreement

[edgy kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/ranni-elden-ring-gif-16550864432678790202

[edgy kestrel]

😭 mutual peace agreement in marathon

[candid yacht]

yeah thats what im saying
