breach-protocol

[hearty scaffold]

post that vault

[edgy kestrel]

impatience final boss

[soft pine]

LMAOOOOOOOOO

[flat ledge]

dude baits in here every day, you fell for it

[soft pine]

20k vault at level 51

[edgy kestrel]

it was bigger

[soft pine]

This shit cannot be real

[edgy kestrel]

i was playing cryo 10 hours ago

[hearty scaffold]

is it bait if he believes it

[soft pine]

Its not even bait Thats the worst part

[edgy kestrel]

i mentioned them because there is new megathread about steam charts on official marathon subreddit

it was created by marathon subreddit mods

[next granite]

if u won every single game it would not be an extraction shooter

[edgy kestrel]

are you like actualy that hardheaded ?

[next granite]

every time u queue up

you are risking loot

well

most of us are

[soft pine]

So you have nothing of value to load in crio and complain about losing

[next granite]

when we run loot

[soft pine]

Peak intelligence

[next granite]

If something is to be expected with 100% certainty

it would not be special

[edgy kestrel]

it is just not that profitable for casual player, no point in running cryo unless you want to complete vaults or actually well prepared

[next granite]

you throw around casual player all the time dude

[edgy kestrel]

do i need to laod in cryo every minute ?

[candid yacht]

NEWS FLASH: You have to prepare for a hard map with a 5k buy in

holy shit

[edgy kestrel]

i just lost my gear in cryo recently so i clearly had items to load with

[candid yacht]

I know most players arent super good but this is like kindergarden stuff

[next granite]

You're level 52, im level 66, not that much difference. I work 5 days a week from 7 am to 4 pm

I am not the best

[edgy kestrel]

so why putting 5k loadout restriction if ideally you need like 9k loadout with purple shield ?

[next granite]

im probably just average

my vault value is 201k with 252k in the wallet

if i can do it

why cant you

[candid yacht]

buddy a blue or green bully with a grey wstr and a blue shield is 5k

you can easily fight squads with that and a couple nades

[edgy kestrel]

so ? i don't like balance in this game it doesn't matter how bad or good i play, I don't like it regardless

[next granite]

you say youre the casual player

when you seem like youre the minority

of players

you are in the lower percentile

If anything I am the casual player bro

[soft pine]

Do you understand What a MINIMUM requirement is ?

[next granite]

Average by all accounts

and I cant be on my PC all day after work or even on the weekend because I have things to do

[edgy kestrel]

you have higher level and bigger vault than me

[next granite]

Yeah, because I am a better player

you are not

the world does not revolve around you

[edgy kestrel]

how many hours do you have ?

[next granite]

120 and I'm only level 66

[edgy kestrel]

120 hours ?

[next granite]

Yeah the game released nearly a month ago

[soft pine]

Everyone is. At his level I had a 100k vault and it trippled 20 level after ( Im 75 rn) he dont understand anything about What hes doing. 20k vault at this level is actually ridiculous no shit hes losing in cryo

[edgy kestrel]

so including server slam ?

[next granite]

If we include server slam, the game has been out for over a month

whats your point

[edgy kestrel]

yeah i mean how many hours you have since release ?

[next granite]

120 base game

Do you want my server slam hours too?

[edgy kestrel]

no i am jsut surprised that difference between lvl 52 and 66 is so big

in terms of hours

[next granite]

How many hours do you have?

[edgy kestrel]

69

[next granite]

So I have more hours and Im level 66

I have a better vault, and my progression to level ratio is lower than yours right

[edgy kestrel]

idk i was doing more quests i think

[next granite]

Alot of my hours are idled i believe

or rook runs

but regardless

[candid yacht]

im around the same here, work 9-5, some days go out with my SO, usually play 4-5 hours a day

[next granite]

I probably have 110 gameplay hours

[woeful parcel]

Its not bait. This is how he is

[edgy kestrel]

i was idle like 7 hours, but i almost haven't played as a rook

maybe 10 games total

[next granite]

@edgy kestrel I mean this with all due respect bro but you are not the average player

[soft pine]

Now thats a normal vault. I have 300k value at level 75rn and I cant understand the guy having 20k Alr 50 like HOW 😐

[next granite]

you are not a casual

I am a casual

[woeful parcel]

This is rei

[edgy kestrel]

what kind of math is that ?

[next granite]

@edgy kestrel There is nothing stopping you from being good at the game and succeeding

you just need to realise you are capable of being good

[candid yacht]

Idk either I was at like 150k value at that level

[next granite]

You arent born a prodigy at every game

[edgy kestrel]

i mean xp system in this game is weird, but i think if you focus on levelling up it is around 1 hour per , i want to lvl up so i can get more upgrades for my factions and free kit from lvl 75

[candid yacht]

im gonna be honest most people refuse to get good at the game and expect some level of handholding or fairness

fairness doesnt exist in extraction shooters

[next granite]

and thats fine play that way

[candid yacht]

someone is always the underdog

[next granite]

but understand you are going to be at a disadvantage if you do not risk something

[edgy kestrel]

well i am most likely going to do a compiler solo, but i doubght i will ever play ranked mode

[candid yacht]

what youre advocating for is simplifying the game

[next granite]

you cant run cryo solo

[soft pine]

Free kit from lvl 75 ? What do u even mean

[next granite]

find friends in an LFG server

and just play

[candid yacht]

but the fact you can even out the gear difference with skill is the draw of extraction shooters

[woeful parcel]

Ah hes back to the compiler solo after crying how hard cryo is

Def 12yo

😂

[candid yacht]

so many games where I went from free kit to loaded becuase of knowing how to play

[edgy kestrel]

no i advocating for better random fill and less pvp deamons in cryoarchives

[next granite]

you cant control those who are on the other end

[soft pine]

With the ttk in this game getting back is extremely simple

[candid yacht]

can wipe a team with a punch

a gun that costs 50 credits

[edgy kestrel]

true, developers need to balance matchmaking, spawn killing on any map is not a really engaging , especially in cryo

[woeful parcel]

Aight can we all just put him on block and talk something elsw 😂

[edgy kestrel]

punch is kinda op ,i also use it

[woeful parcel]

Im excited for the balance patch

[soft pine]

Sooooo.. you want ppl to be worst players in general so you can win ? They cant be competitive because you cant keep up ? Very childish way to think

[woeful parcel]

To see how they handle stuff in marathon

[candid yacht]

yeah hopefully they address recon

[edgy kestrel]

but i am also talking about the balance, what kind of balance do you want me to talk?

[next granite]

Its just good loot

nothing crazy

[fallen nimbus]

why we flexin in breach-protocol

[soft pine]

The impact might be the most satisfying gun to shoot imo

[edgy kestrel]

purple shields are pretty crazy, i was doing pinwheel almost every game and found like 1 so far

[next granite]

dont call it a flex bro

sm1 will come in with 300 hours and a golden vault with maxed out wallet

[steady torrent]

Hello

[faint prairie]

is recon worth playing? I like the way she plays but the cooldown times are ridiculous

[steady torrent]

Good people

[next granite]

Circuit Breaker is my favourite gun by far its so satisfying to use

[rustic sandal]

i dont have issues with cooldowns on recon

[hoary glacier]

In late game no nor rlly cuz ur ability just gets countered lol

[edgy kestrel]

i think she is pretty cool but you need a decent team to make use of her

[next granite]

Circuit breaker is also the only gun in the game capable of one shotting purple shields from full health

[soft pine]

Energy amp + ability regen passive upgrade

[rustic sandal]

i mean how often do u need the drone anyways, most of recon's best stuff is non cooldown related

[fallen nimbus]

to me, that's a lot of playtime and loot lol

[candid yacht]

downing or just breaking shields?

[next granite]

Downing

[edgy kestrel]

yeah idk i will try to use it more often, it is 15k but i can afford it, i save some epic mods for it and v99

[candid yacht]

i found the circuit breaker pretty inconsistent

[next granite]

200 to 0

You need to ADS with it and charge it up twice to be capable

which is not much

I did it just earlier

Im wishing i clipped it now to prove it

[faint prairie]

Thanks for the info, trying to make sense of all the information

[soft pine]

Yeah its solid , I just dont use them much cuz its hard to push with them, its more useful to defend a position bcz of the charge up in my experience

[next granite]

It's a proper dog fighting weapon

its a weapon for a brawl

imo

You can play it offensively

but the weapon relies alot on your own personal positioning

[edgy kestrel]

i wish it would break bubble shields

[next granite]

If you just charge up behind cover, peak and track to their head regardless of health aslong as they are in range theyre instantly dead

You gotta play peak a boo with it

trust me

use it

get a little experience with it

and its the funnest gun in the game

its just so disgusting

nobody ever expects for an instant one shot from a range of 14 meters

3 shots and an entire fight is won if youre lucky enough

or good enough

hasnt happened to me yetr

but one day

[woeful parcel]

It also goes trough bubble and the red forcefields with the gold mod

And lvl3 charge

[next granite]

fr?

[woeful parcel]

Yup

[next granite]

thats so disgusting

[woeful parcel]

It is haha

[edgy elk]

fr, peek-a-boo is how i take down trios as a rook

[next granite]

the circuit breaker is so slept on

[woeful parcel]

I see the potential but I dont like it

[next granite]

yeah not everything is for everyone

its definitely my gun

I instantly take circuit breakers off bodies b4 my friends can loot and im tame with greeding

I discuss

but if there is one

its mine bro

even if im already using one

im dropping loot for it

and its int he bag

[woeful parcel]

I took the gold copperhead to cryo last night

What a joke of a gun😂😂

[edgy kestrel]

That is cool

[candid yacht]

is it ahh?

[rapid maple]

It's super mid

[candid yacht]

even with the gold?

[rapid maple]

Yes

[candid yacht]

damn

maybe they will rebalance these in the mid season patch

[rapid maple]

Copperhead w/ mods that give it range though

Not a contender for bully but not terrible

[woeful parcel]

Absolute dogshit

Barely broke a purp shield with 40 in the mag

Point blank

I know the range sucks but I tought it would be good up close

[rapid maple]

I'd rather just use a shotgun

[soft pine]

Bully is really undefeated in close and mid range

[rapid maple]

With a bully

[woeful parcel]

Ye I just wanted to give it a shot

[soft pine]

Copperhead is decent but it shouldnt be this rare at all

[rapid maple]

The unique M77 from cryo is probably my favorite gun in the game

[rapid maple]

Agreed, it needs a buff

It suits no niche aside from working in "are you close range and the person you're fighting has terrible aim and no shotgun" situations

[soft pine]

Its a fair take

I played it a few Times and thought it was a pretty good gun but Tbh I didnt have it in my hands enough to judge it

[rapid maple]

It's also pretty decent against people w/ weak shields

It can shred, I see why it was nerfed and put into the situation it's in

But rn it's just better to use a shotgun

[soft pine]

Did you try it with a Purple mag ?

[rapid maple]

Yes. I've tried it with the mag that gives it more range and it feels decent then

[soft pine]

Tbh the shotgun nerf makes it more reliable than wstr for 10m + distance

[soft pine]

Good to know

[rapid maple]

Again, at that point I'd rather just go bully wstr/misriah

Rather than copperhead & sniper/dmr

There's also the brrt

I feel like that's just a meme gun

Maybe I haven't used it enough

[soft pine]

That name man 😭😭

[rapid maple]

I've seen clips of it shredding but like

[soft pine]

The brrrrrt is really solid

Its kinda strange to use tho

[rapid maple]

One of my friends has used the drrvish and liked it

[rapid maple]

That was my first impression

[soft pine]

Like the feeling of shooting it is not like other burst weapons

[candid yacht]

The gold mod on it is great

[soft pine]

Its very unstable and a Little range kills its efficiency

[rapid maple]

So I've seen

[soft pine]

What does it do ?

[rapid maple]

I just... have no reason to use it over the bully

[rapid maple]

I think the burst is like 7 bullets instead

That thing looks fun

[soft pine]

Yeah i love the bully, but Tbh it would be fair to nerf at least its stability

Bcz the spread is like a warzone gun

[rapid maple]

I will miss it though

[soft pine]

Its just lasering at any distance

[rapid maple]

If it does get nerfed

It has pretty gnarly dropoff I will say

[candid yacht]

Shoots 5 shots in one

[soft pine]

Same but we will have more variety in loadouts

[candid yacht]

Like a shotty

[umbral burrow]

How is the Marathon meme economy doing?

[rapid maple]

True, I just hope though other guns get buffed

[soft pine]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-hart-damn-gif-22892983

Does it loose the range then ?

[candid yacht]

Nope

[soft pine]

And its still a burst weapon ?

[candid yacht]

No

Semi auto

[soft pine]

Wtf

I need to get that

It sounds so weird

[deep zenith]

Its broken in every sense it literally just shoots all 5 bullets at once no range drop off

[soft pine]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-marathon-game-hop-on-marathon-gaming-glitch-gif-9102354779965674068

[rustic sandal]

diaper baby

[north stirrup]

I don't like the sit on ipad characters tbh

[umbral burrow]

Rook gaming tbh

[soft pine]

You should play rainbow 6

[north stirrup]

if her drone passively scanned enemies like crypto, this would be a different story

[north stirrup]

NO NOT AGAIN

[candid yacht]

Gold mod

[soft pine]

SIT ON YOUR PHONE IN A CORNER AND GET THOSE INFOS ASAP

[north stirrup]

cryo has stripped me naked

[woeful parcel]

Thanks for the gold cryo key boys

[north stirrup]

the only thing in my vault is salvage basically

[candid yacht]

👀

[north stirrup]

SCREAMING AND CRYING

[umbral burrow]

What if her drone installed a virus on people instead of stealing their shoes and took a percentage of their credits gained on extract

[north stirrup]

Signal jammers block thermals right?

[soft pine]

Oh my god wtf i need to encounter this type of team

[woeful parcel]

Yes

[north stirrup]

good good

[woeful parcel]

You meet them once in a blue moon lol

[north stirrup]

assassin, mini jammer mod, lmg

profit

[rustic sandal]

what if the drone just injected you with perma death virus

[woeful parcel]

Vandal panicked and didnt use his shotty 😂😂

[north stirrup]

and thermal scope

[umbral burrow]

What if the drone came pre-installed with two claymores

[soft pine]

I need you to get the wtsr upgrade ive been winning crazy 1v3 in pinwheel

[woeful parcel]

Dude im trying ti

Reflex coils are hard to come by

Need 6 and ive got the shotty

[soft pine]

What if the drone was actually a mini nuke that absorb crypto of the irl wallets of players in the lobby

[rapid maple]

It's so hard winning 1v3s against people who are clearly not in a vc with each other

[north stirrup]

what if the drone was the friends we made along the way

[umbral burrow]

What if the drone forced you to play triage?

[north stirrup]

why triage meta

kill triage

i dont like triage

[soft pine]

Can I give you some or its limited like most thing you drop that come back to you ? Not all are not shareable so Idk

[north stirrup]

i just wanna play assassin

[soft pine]

Fuck triage 😭

[rapid maple]

You can't bring salvage into runs

[north stirrup]

@bungie fem assassin immediately thanks

[woeful parcel]

You cant give salvage to others

[umbral burrow]

I sentence you to solos for three moons

[soft pine]

Thats what I thought

[soft pine]

Even worse, solo with fill

[north stirrup]

I guess i must return to being alpha transbian MIDA leader rook

bungie has NO rook emotes this is TERRIBLE

[next granite]

Triage needs a little more

[soft pine]

Dont Forget that rook is your enemy

[north stirrup]

yeah obviously im the only rook that deserves to live

[woeful parcel]

This team was peak too

[umbral burrow]

Runnah, plant 7 rookbillion claymores

[north stirrup]

if they cannot beat me they have no purpose

[soft pine]

Im sorry bro its on sight 😭

[next granite]

Triage V needs MORE

[north stirrup]

runnah, piss on the walls of Cryo Archive

Prank call orion

[umbral burrow]

Runnah, draw a twirly mustache on the warden

[candid yacht]

More what its busted

They need to add a volt lmg

[rapid maple]

Triage needs a masked skin

[soft pine]

Now you have to wait 10 rookillion years for that extract to time out and loot that last guy 😭

[rapid maple]

That would be sick

[north stirrup]

they need to give me 30 channel rifles

[umbral burrow]

They need to add a volt grenade launcher

[north stirrup]

mmmm channel rifle...

[umbral burrow]

They should add Anarchy

[soft pine]

RUNNAH, sleep with orion’s wife

[north stirrup]

can i get a gold mod for the Magnum that makes it the halo magnum and I can 2 shot everybody thanks

[rapid maple]

Isn't that already the gold mod for it?

[north stirrup]

I don't know I didn't get to use it

[candid yacht]

No its a weird scope no?

[north stirrup]

cause cryo keeps bitch smacking me

[next granite]

RUNNER, MIDA NEEDS YOU!

• Knock over 5 bins
• Place 5 “Kick me” sticky notes in the back of UESC
• Place 5 whoopie cushions on chairs

[north stirrup]

and I just have to take it

[rapid maple]

Gives it a weird scope and makes it fire .50 bmg essentially

[candid yacht]

Tho it kinda hsndles like a zoomed in CE magnum

[next granite]

What does it do to non-volt weapons

[umbral burrow]

IN ONE RUN:
Steal a UESC credit card
Buy two drinkable cheeseburgers from a vending machine
Exfil with one for me

[candid yacht]

Maybe slightly faster reload and ads

Idk

[soft pine]

Gantry What are we doing rn 😭

[umbral burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-nucaloric-nuber-eats-delivery-gif-3100410936613573671

[candid yacht]

But with volt guns its busted

[next granite]

Yeah it’s good with volt guns

[candid yacht]

I was running emp cores

So good

[soft pine]

https://tenor.com/view/penepixula-gif-21050526

[next granite]

I tried using it with a Scar, and alternating current chip mod

But it didn’t really work

It didn’t heal at all

[soft pine]

He gives free skins if you answer guys

[next granite]

Like it’s good but the limit to volt batt and cell weapons is a lot

[umbral burrow]

Give me a bingus skin

I want to be bingus rook

[soft pine]

Give me a mod where you just roam around a game as bingus and players cant kill you

[next granite]

I might just start playing Vandal or Destroyer

[soft pine]

Like a spectator mode

[next granite]

Probably Vandal

[umbral burrow]

Destroyer is the cooler vandal

[next granite]

Triage is fun and I don’t mind the strategic aspect of it

[umbral burrow]

They can actually shoot while sliding

[next granite]

But god do I just wanna fight

[next granite]

I love destroyer

But Vandal’s double jump

I need it

[umbral burrow]

I main assassin because I actually wanna exfil

[next granite]

I love fighting

I need to play Vandal

[soft pine]

« Aaah dont see me Im scared » aaah shell

MAN UP

[rapid maple]

I love the fear in my enemies' eyes as they hear my thunderstompers zeroing in on their location only to get one-two-punched

Destroyer is so fun

[soft pine]

real man play thief my beloved

[next granite]

Destroyer looks so much cooler than vandal

like visually

[umbral burrow]

#📽️run-clips message

Does this to you

[soft pine]

Not tuff

This guy in the exfil got 0 awareness lmao

[umbral burrow]

I get so many other assassins in exfil

[next granite]

Not even

[umbral burrow]

I opened up on one with a LMG a few nights ago and then they were in chat yesterday

[next granite]

You can’t always hear sm1 running up on you

Audio is inconsistent

[soft pine]

Idk I like assasin but after playing only shells with movement abilities it feels limiting

[next granite]

EXACTLY

movement is king in this game

Positioning makes up so much of a fight

[soft pine]

Thats why I cant play assasin or recon it feels like Im playing another game

[umbral burrow]

I feel like any action that makes my position known is a massive risk

[next granite]

And if you can get somewhere faster than your opponents to a better position you’re chilling

[woeful parcel]

Nah bags full from first person. I duelled a rook after that and then exfilled while looting the third dudes bag

[next granite]

The movement abilities the more options open up

[soft pine]

You are not wrong if you are a solo player, i feel you on that.

[umbral burrow]

I am a solo player

On the rare occasion we play trios, it's open season

[soft pine]

You gotta be Swift with the grapple slides etc, you just cant use them without being aware of Whats around before

I Also play mostly solo

[next granite]

I play solo pretty carelessly

I’m not solo only but i play it a lot

I just run solos on outpost nowadays

[umbral burrow]

TBH, I've mostly stopped playing because the solo experience is lacking

[soft pine]

Its not

But its limited to certain maps

[next granite]

Nothing beats a well coordinated team and comms

[soft pine]

I dont like that aspect

[woeful parcel]

Solo is amazing

[umbral burrow]

You're punished a lot less for small mistakes in trios

[rustic sandal]

https://klipy.com/gifs/girl-sure-jan

[next granite]

Yeah that’s the nature of it

[umbral burrow]

One loud noise out of place in solos is enough to end your run

[soft pine]

Thats the point of solos tho, its all on you at all times

[next granite]

It can be

[soft pine]

Choose every engagement Even with bots

[north stirrup]

my gold wstr says otherwise

[next granite]

Just play smart pick your fights

[next granite]

The fully charged circuit breaker holding the door you’re about to rush says otherwise x 2

[north stirrup]

that gun is so loud though

[umbral burrow]

I just end up ratting and developing paranoia because MIDA wants me to extract with so many 24 carat labubus for meta progression

[north stirrup]

and it doesn't have a unlimited hold time so

you just wait

[soft pine]

My pickpocket drone stealing your gold key says otherwise while youre peeking the door X3

[next granite]

It’s the only gun in the game capable of one shotting purple shields from full health

[north stirrup]

This is true; but counterargument

unlimited mag wstr

6 shots in my double barrel

[soft pine]

I hate you deeply

[north stirrup]

you're gonna hate me even more for what I say next

assassin knife build

3 stacks of smoke grenades

[soft pine]

…………

[umbral burrow]

Assassin knife goes dummy

[north stirrup]

thermal sniper and with mini jammer

or any thermal gun with mini jammer

[soft pine]

I have a visor to scan you in your dumb smoke brochacho

[north stirrup]

how does the visor work

[heady blaze]

A good PSA, share it around

[north stirrup]

I don't play thief im not an iPod kid

[umbral burrow]

I thought jammer countered visor

[north stirrup]

me too

[heady blaze]

It highlights you with the colour of your most valuable item (I.e purple)

[north stirrup]

ohhhh okayokay

[heady blaze]

It does

[north stirrup]

okay so thermal Magnum mini jammer in smokes beats thief

[next granite]

I tried so hard to find the gif of the spider crawling over a snipers face who keeps hard scroping

[heady blaze]

Yup

[north stirrup]

I love being the worst person in all of marathon

bungie camo is my favorite thing ever

creepy crawly assassins near you

[soft pine]

Lesbianism will make me god ( joy is the colony female ai )

worst gun in the game? just knife them if youre in smoke wtf?

[soft pine]

Hahaha that would have been fitting

[north stirrup]

Joy 🤤

Assassins deserve the iron bull

Got please stop mentioning the knife I’m gonna geek

I cannot with that thing

I love that people can main knife , most games use the knife only to break windows or some stupid shit like that

[north stirrup]

Im talking about standing 100% still

in smoke

with thermals and signal jammer

[valid prism]

but why a magnum, yuck

[north stirrup]

you do not win those

[north stirrup]

Cause it's sexy

Magnum MC is genuinely disgusting

[heady blaze]

Magnum is good,

[next granite]

Style points

[valid prism]

if you think having the slowest fire rate in the game is sexy, i have some geriatric men i can introduce you to

[heady blaze]

The Barbie blaster goes hard with attachments

[umbral burrow]

Magnum is the classic Bungie gun

[next granite]

I do not know what world the magnum is good in

It’s definitely not good

[soft pine]

Its legit so bad in pvp

[north stirrup]

Magnum isn't bad

[next granite]

It’s good in PVE

[north stirrup]

Shotguns are just better

I’ve wiped teams with it wdym lmao

[north stirrup]

yeah actually

[umbral burrow]

I have like 12 magnums in my vault

[next granite]

It’s the slowest TTK pistol

[north stirrup]

all the guns are good you just suck

[soft pine]

Its good in pve bcz one shot on recruits but it might be one of the worst pvp gun

[heady blaze]

Up close sure it’s trash but at mid range if you click their heads it’s gg

[next granite]

relies entirely on each shot being a head shot

[north stirrup]

Watch me 1v3 with my suppressed CE tactical

[umbral burrow]

Play AimLabs

[next granite]

Yeah but it’s out performed in every metric at mid range by any gun that isn’t an SMG

[soft pine]

Not tuff

[valid prism]

just use a frickin rifle if you want mid range. the magnum literally has no place in this game cuz everything else does its job better.

[next granite]

Trust me bro I have mechanics

[north stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-dog-silly-dog-propeller-hat-propeller-hat-dog-gif-4764495627579170054

[heady blaze]

I’d rather use the magnum than a hardline

[umbral burrow]

I wish I could get a fat stack of HPRs

[soft pine]

https://tenor.com/view/king-von-67-6-7-six-seven-sixty-seven-gif-2402160699854878017

Would it be cringe if I sent my Aimlabs replays to prove it..

[heady blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/bungie-marathon-bungie-marathon-void-true-gif-7100404200135171214

[valid prism]

hardline can fire faster and if you have recoil mods you can just spam people at range with little aim correction. meanwhile the magnum is still on its 2nd shot

[lucid isle]

https://tenor.com/view/snoopy-silly-peanuts-goofy-funny-gif-5675345946526137542

[next granite]

Okay I’m ngl

Magnum probably beats the hardline bro

[valid prism]

put a recoil mod on it and its a laser. green mod

[heady blaze]

It’s in its 2nd shot but your shields are cracked and your half hp

[valid prism]

too bad you missed your first two shots

[heady blaze]

And if they have gold attachment then they win

[next granite]

Bullet velocity and bullet spread

Pretty sure the hardline has a pretty bad accuracy cone

[wind nexus]

can I have all the prestige salvage in this magical christmas land we're all in?

[valid prism]

what does that mean? one green mod turns the gun into a laser. dont trust me go try it out yourself, its cheap.

[next granite]

The issue with the Magnum is that it’s not consistent enough

[next granite]

It’s when you are directly aiming at a target but the bullet does not travel directly on point

[valid prism]

the unmodded hardline is trash, objectively. any recoil mod changes that, the blue recoil barrel is simply unfair at range

[next granite]

What’s unfair is that KNIFE

[valid prism]

i know wtf velocity and bullet drop are, but you said those things without context

[next granite]

I want that stupid lock on dash GONE

[candid yacht]

Not if you run reloading backpack

[next granite]

I never said anything abt drop

Tho velocity is drop

Regardless

[valid prism]

my bad, bullet spread, aka bloom

nonetheless, there was no context

[thorny jungle]

sadly this was my exact experience in hauler

[next granite]

No like I need to run certain guns to get value

[candid yacht]

Sure

I mean most of them are good just in different areas

[next granite]

Like it always exists

I can pop it to slightly buff any gun

[umbral burrow]

I have never seen a yellow piece of gear drop in game

[next granite]

But I’m limited to a pretty weak class of weapons to get value

[candid yacht]

Weak?

[next granite]

Like the volt is a demon we all know this

V11

I mean

[valid prism]

punch

[next granite]

yeah the punch

[candid yacht]

Scar is good too and volthrower is decent close range

Lookout is meh

[next granite]

I really am not a Volt thrower fan

[candid yacht]

Me neither

It melts close tho

I want the needler mod for it

[valid prism]

volt thrower has extremely high ttk, projectile tracking, target highlight, and zero headshot damage

[next granite]

I think it would be faster to send the bullets by carrier pigeon than actually firing it

Scar is pretty good

[valid prism]

my bad, low ttk i should say

[next granite]

It’s consistent

I like the scar

[whole vigil]

I got vaporised by sometimes contraband gun again.

[candid yacht]

Need that needler mod

[whole vigil]

Feels like destiny 2 Laser tag.

[valid prism]

scar has the worst ttk in the game, but they try to offset it with the heavy projectile tracking

[next granite]

But it’s just outclassed

[whole vigil]

That thing isn't fair to fight.

[next granite]

And then if I’m using any volt cell weapon

What’s the point of popping battery over charge

They’re probably gonna die

In like

A couple seconds

[umbral burrow]

Assassin them to death and take it for yourself

[whole vigil]

Next time it's mine.

[next granite]

Either way I’m gonna start playing Vandal

[heady blaze]

I use volt guns to break shield then switch to whatever else I’m running

Funny clip I had the other day

[next granite]

This is so inefficient tho

[heady blaze]

Triage ulti is fun in solos

[royal dragon]

I managed to wipe a squad with a green silenced magnum, after my teammates were all downed, and it made me feel like a god-tier gamer. I could be biased from that. Probably it's not really the greatest weapon, but something about it feels great.

[valid prism]

well sure, we can call that the underdog rush of dopamine

[next granite]

The coocoo clock in the background

[royal dragon]

Yeaaaah

[valid prism]

you knew you were in a bad position, and that your weapon was sub-standard for the course, just makes the adrenaline pump harder

[next granite]

This is why I take shittier loot than I should be in

I love those profit margins

[valid prism]

its what makes rolling free kits and extracting with someone elses blue kit so much fun

[royal dragon]

It does hit hard though, which I think can help to throw people onto the back foot. I do need to try modded Hardlines more.

Common silencer for it is nice

[next granite]

MIDA sponsored kit day tomorrow please

[heady blaze]

lmaoooooooo

true

[valid prism]

i hated the hardline til i picked up one with a 60% recoil reduction barrel. that thing was so much fun to shoot.

[royal dragon]

Yeah, I was reading that above. Will keep an eye out.

[valid prism]

traxus free kit, i prefer to knife or pick up a punch though :p

[woeful parcel]

Yup

[edgy elk]

traxus freekits make me loot toolcarts like a mf

unusable without a sight

[candid yacht]

traxus and seki ones might be the worst ones

[edgy elk]

whats the gun on seki?

[pure prairie]

volt thrower

[edgy elk]

cyac freekit is terrible too

nah the volt thrower is alright

[blazing robin]

At least the cyac overrun has a sight that doesn't actively impede shooting

[pure prairie]

Nah, volt thrower is trash. It loses to the Overrun 🤣

[edgy elk]

no it doesnt, the ironsights are awful

[blazing robin]

Or have granny bullets like thrower

[edgy elk]

🤷 idk man ive been doin pretty alright with the volt thrower

[pure prairie]

Eh. It punches at or below its weight class. If it's freebie vs. freebie, you're fine. As soon as they have anything above a white shield, you'll start to feel that DPS diff harddd

[edgy elk]

greensheidls arent too bad with the volt

[stiff bronze]

then you are standing still

I almost beat blue shields with a no shield last night with the volt thrower

[blazing robin]

This is my personal tier list for the free kits as a free kit enthusiast-

Mida
NuCal, Arachne
Cyac, SekGen

Trashxus

[edgy elk]

blue, yeah its not good against blue

[pure prairie]

Then they were standing still

I mean, anecdotal evidence aside, it's still a mid gun that does mid things

If you do well with it, more power to ya

I'd rather take a gun that I can consistently headshot with and end the fight without relying on smart lock

[edgy elk]

ofc i dont actively seek out the volt, but i prefer it over the overrun if theyre both without mods

[stiff bronze]

with the volt thrower freebie, it tracks, so you can hit shots while hiding. back and forth throwing out volts, while ballistics are shooting straight at you

[edgy elk]

overrun just has too low ammo cap, too high recoil, and awful ironsights when without mods

[stiff bronze]

no one will argue its mid at best. just that it is way better than the overrun, which i consider the worst gun in the game

[pure prairie]

I put them side by side. I think the fact that you can headshot with the overrun puts it on the same spot as the Volt Thrower. The volt thrower can be countered by flanking (Bullet velocity is on par with your average pensioner) or repositioning which takes away from the users agency.

I don't want my opponent to degrade my weapons DPS, I'll leave that to my own shitty aim lol

[edgy elk]

yea the bullet velocity is pretty terrible, not gonna argue on that

but if you stay on your toes it does a good job

[pure prairie]

Oh no doubt, if you can get the drop on someone and have a stream of bullets already on the way with nothing to intercept, it can shine

I hate losing a fight because the opponent wiggled and the shot connected with part of a railing, or a piece of timber that's jutting out from a stack.

It almost feels like you have to disadvantage yourself to put it in the optimal usage parameters

Even with jiggle peaks

Aggression wins more fights than turtling, without equipment, and if we're talking about free kits you won't have nades/claymores/other tools to help control the fight

[edgy elk]

i prefer a modded overrun over a modded volt

[west lion]

Translating- - - -
I lose all loot on cryo

[edgy elk]

lol

[west lion]

How’s your stash looking menu :D

[edgy elk]

my inv value is at 800k rn

[west lion]

Mehu*

[west lion]

Holy peak

[edgy elk]

tryna get the profiteer title

[west lion]

My vault is like 400-500k but I’m nearing 1 million credits

[edgy elk]

oh yea my credits are at 500k and vault at 300k

so 800k? idk how this shit works

[west lion]

Yeah your current worth is 800k

I’m so mad dude. I need 2 more sub routines cause some chud stole my cryo 4 key

[edgy elk]

i havent gotten a single subroutine

but i also have 0 vault keys and ive only gone to cryo 4 times

[candid yacht]

I still need 06

that key is a myth

[edgy elk]

i wonder if a key has ever dropped for me lol

i always let the other teammates loot wardens

dont want to be the greedy one

[kind crane]

Can someone explain cryo and the importance of keycards? Are those necessary for the compiler?

[candid yacht]

yes

Cryo is a big map with 6 locked rooms

7 including the compilers

you need to open them with stuff found around the map (batteries, cryo pods, credentials)

there is gold loot in them, and a subroutine item

[kind crane]

Okay got it

[candid yacht]

each subroutine is unique to each vault

you need to open each vault and extract the subroutines 1-6

after that you can challenge compiler

its over the course of all runs not in a single run

[kind crane]

Okay got it. So clear 6 vaults and you unlock compiler. And just to clarify, do you also need those external marathon keycards in addition to the other stuff like batteries and security clearance

[candid yacht]

yes

each vault has its own key

[kind crane]

Okay so to do a complete run everyone on the team needs keys 1-6. Thank you so much

[candid yacht]

no

[kind crane]

Ope

[candid yacht]

its very doubtful to do more than 1 vault per run

you dont need all subroutines in one run

its over the course of a season

[kind crane]

Ohhh I see. So they stack over time

[candid yacht]

each one unlocks a codex entry

once you have all 6 you can do compiler

[kind crane]

Okay now I understand. So basically your goal throughout the season is to gradually breach each vault until you’ve done all 6 and then theoretically on that 7th run you can access compiler

[candid yacht]

pretty much

[kind crane]

Okay thank you man. Best explanation I’ve received over it, I really appreciate it

[candid yacht]

np

[flat ledge]

this is an anonymous survey: how would you rate your support technicians performance?

[candid yacht]

Can wtsr one shot you with purple shields?

[flat ledge]

sure can

[feral parrot]

no

wstr all pellets does 150, crit mult of 1.15 for a 172.5 dmg shot if you hit all 10 pellets as a crit (LOL), purple shield is 200 total hp

[flat ledge]

2 shots is 300dmg

bang bang

[feral parrot]

yeah that's 2 shots

not one shot

[flat ledge]

yea im just not gonna

[feral parrot]

i'm answering the question as written ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flat ledge]

mhm

[feral parrot]

LMAO ok buddy

[lyric trail]

Thanks was wondering if I went down in 1 or 2 and if there was any counterplay

[feral parrot]

the counterplay is not be within 4m sadly

[lyric trail]

Was 2 then just really fast

[feral parrot]

yeah the 2 tap is about 300ms

it's the fastest non-0ms kill for any weapon in the game from full shields

[kind crane]

Alright man since you’re a savant I’m gonna ask for your help one last time. Have you found a consistent way to farm the marathon cards

I’ve had them drop off tox warden or in pinwheel sometimes but I don’t see them often

[candid yacht]

wardens on each map, lockdown on marsh, intercept on perimeter

[bronze garden]

'oh but its a valuable tool for developers' developers can already see it on steam. this is market analysis for losers

There’s only one right answer.

None after I unlocked all the codex entries. You can enjoy your "burger" that's .1 away from being hazardous 💀

[distant blaze]

ok ignore my flair but like it cannot possibly be worse than the burger we have now from maccas

[pure prairie]

Anything that comes from Batch M can stay far away from me

[slender saddle]

Have we just lost the ability to make normal burgers? 😭

[feral parrot]

yes.

[distant blaze]

i mean . probably?

[pure prairie]

Absolutely.

[distant blaze]

its 22seventy whatever u think they still got COWS?

[strong cargo]

The codex of the kid who ran into the wilderness had never tasted real meat haha.

All the cows left frozen on the Marathon

[pure prairie]

Lowkey, I was happy for that kid

[strong cargo]

Until....yknow

[pure prairie]

Horrible situation, but silver linings and all that

[strong cargo]

The parallels to colonialism and the struggles of frontier pioneers is really good.

[distant blaze]

the marathon expedition was launched because earth and the other sol systems were becoming increasingly inhabitual for humans

colonialist parallels aside, it makes sense that there would be a lack of natural resources

[strong cargo]

Yeah, multiple codex entries debating our impact on the environment and if we would even be able to -use- what's there.

[distant blaze]

man what is it with media and tau ceti these days. hmm

[strong cargo]

Yeah Hail Mary lol

[distant blaze]

surely there's nothing in the meatspace that could be causing this. surely

🤔

[strong cargo]

To be fair that book was out for a bit but yeah

[distant blaze]

andy weir has always been That Guy

[jolly goblet]

i think in the nucal lore it says that basically most food was wiped out by a biological catastrophe and people eat nutrient dense paste because its the easiest and most efficient to make to feed a lot of people

[strong cargo]

We need more hopecore

But Marathon's grunge is really engaging

[distant blaze]

u mean u dont want drinkable buger? ?

[slender saddle]

Reminds me of Dead Space. Earth is also in a pretty bad way there, also with the way people on Tau Ceti were affected by whatever’s going on.

[pure prairie]

Mmmm Omega-6 from Feces. My favorite 💀

[strong cargo]

I know Gantry rattles off a ton of events. A famine. Revolts. Traxus had a major internal blow up with their AI.

[distant blaze]

man i gotta fill that codex more

whyy is it so hard to find phat lewtz

wait post cancelled theyre posting say gex on the marathon subreddit

fucking awesome

https://old.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1s4nmf0/marathon_yaoi/

[strong cargo]

I'm ultra curious of Charter. He's a runner, but assassinated a high priority Traxus Exec and then went off grid until now.

Arachne is paid by an unknown benefactor and it low-key feels like Sekiguchi since they align with pushing shells to limits for research/transhumanism growth

But something tells me we won't get a ton of info for him for awhile. Doesn't really seem like a big movershaker like Traxus or Mida who are actively against UESC and want control.

[pure prairie]

I've always had the theory that it's UESC paying Arachne. They focus on Runner on Runner violence and that could be overall sabotage to the other Corps/interference on Tau C.

[distant blaze]

ok yeah tangentially but i dont think the uesc would want to put money into that

[pure prairie]

I wouldn't put it past Orion

He's scum 💀

[strong cargo]

Orion is struggling as is. He is legit being pressured by the council and he's kinda at odds with them strangely

[distant blaze]

like, think about this diagetically. the largest peacekeeping force in the sol system has been paying a death cult in order to prevent other corporations from legally wiggling their own things out from under their thumb

[strong cargo]

There's a codex where he's very resistant and wants to slow down the assaults because of the anomaly

[pure prairie]

...need I remind you of what the CIA/FBI have done?

[distant blaze]

yes i also read the panama papers

[strong cargo]

A tangent shadow op. I think The Council making Orion a scapegoat for their failures would be CRAZY

[distant blaze]

^ that could be it too

i think arachne, for all its worth, is something that is tau ceti exclusive

[strong cargo]

It strange because in the codex he's being resistant to the council with, he says their burning through resources and he doesn't want to lose anymore people. But to my knowledge like....what people? Lol. He specifically mentions the anomaly so it has to be Tau Ceti. But there are no "people" on Tau Ceti.

[jolly goblet]

the uesc is like hyperfascist and want to build ai gods or smth

[strong cargo]

Orion is really strange

[distant blaze]

so if theyre hyperfascist why not just use their already existing military strength instead of paying a shadow group to do it. fascism thrives on imagery

[jolly goblet]

arachne i think is just trying to recreate the original marathon guy with runner tech instead of universe hopping bullshit

[pure prairie]

Wasn't there a site to see the completed codex?

🤔

[jolly goblet]

sponsored by the rest of the interest groups, why they dont just nuke the cyac ship from orbit so you cant run

[distant blaze]

bureaucracy

[strong cargo]

It's very interesting to debate where runners actually come from

[distant blaze]

in my mind the runner is kind of similar to the engineer from system shock

[pure prairie]

I need to check codex/audio logs, but I'm fairly certain that there's some agreement with UESC that the corps won't engage in wonton open warfare

Something something better for the whole of humanity something something

[distant blaze]

^

[strong cargo]

Yup

It's why corporate warfare and the runners are a tool for acting

A proxy

[distant blaze]

idk. i can see the uesc sponsoring arachne but i also dont feel like theres enough incentive to

[pure prairie]

Yep, several times the corp sponsors talk about us being an unaffiliated third party

[strong cargo]

Yet we are a sort of Legion. One entity or group, with strange independence even though we're "owned"

[distant blaze]

AND ALSO WHY NOT FUND MIDA UNDER THE TABLE ANYWAYS. THEY ALREADY 'HATE' THE UESC SO IT WOULD BE EASY TO REMOVE AFFILIATION

[strong cargo]

The skins tell of how runners co opt different tech, express through the shells, etc. it's pretty unique.

Cool Meta stuff because technically we as the player are the runner

[pure prairie]

MIDA is already getting funded under the table

[distant blaze]

by the uesc??

[strong cargo]

MIDA is a perfect scapegoat for all of them, really.

[distant blaze]

^

[pure prairie]

Possibly?

Bernard Strauss was thought to be a MIDA Op, and they suspect that several other high level corp execs are as well.

[jolly goblet]

For sure, I just believe this exists because the factions were running for are basically the economy, and no matter how fascist the UESC is if they start fighting them they will crash everything ever built I don’t think the UESC could exist without the support of the megacorps

[strong cargo]

I think it's neat Durandal wants V Strauss fucking dead haha

[distant blaze]

durandal 🤤

[strong cargo]

B Strauss my mobile keyboard is rampant today

[distant blaze]

bungie devs if you are reading this bring tycho back and make him have sloppy makeouts with durandal

worlds most spadeways robot relationship

[strong cargo]

Yeah Bungie take a break from general and listen to us

[pure prairie]

Man, what I would do to see Pfhor fighting UESC on dire marsh

That would be so fucking cool

[jolly goblet]

do you guys think bio humans still exist in the marathon verse

[strong cargo]

Playing that would be insane. Crossfires

[distant blaze]

i wish we saw more of the pfhor but also i like the unseen menacing energy they have

[strong cargo]

That's a good question. Because even during the Marathon being made cyborgs were huge

[distant blaze]

like we're Aware of them but theyre not actually. here

[strong cargo]

And now shells

[pure prairie]

Personally, I think so. Orion talks about how we have no stakes in the fight because we use shells, implying that there are others out there putting their lives on the line.

[strong cargo]

I would imagine yes tho.

Yeah and the codex where he talks to the council he laments the loss of too many people.

Where? He doesn't say.

[distant blaze]

oh there is a date for when marathon (26) takes place

2893

[strong cargo]

Yeah

[distant blaze]

like 100 years since the original marathon attack

[jolly goblet]

i wonder if he could be talking about his ai drones lowkey i think hes an ai at least like the rest

[strong cargo]

The Leela message is the 93 years it took to get back

[distant blaze]

i see

[jolly goblet]

its just like strange that even the MIDA trailer intro thing is like all shells

no real people

[strong cargo]

Yeah the only human we see in-game is in cryo bags. Assumed dead-ish

A good chunk of the colonists are just gone. Like GONE

[pure prairie]

Granted, they're on the other side of the observable universe from SOL

Someone will have to correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't some of the Cryo codex entries discussing rotation for colonists?

It seems like before everything happened, meatbags were still doing work onboard the UESC marathon

[jolly goblet]

yes

the cryopreservant ones i think lists 3 diff cycles for people

[strong cargo]

I haven't plundered the Cryo codexes yet. But I would imagine a back and forth between the colony and Marathon. Given outpost is like the planet side airport

[jolly goblet]

but the colonist colonist people iirc were asleep whole time

[distant blaze]

man i need to do more lorework T_T

[jolly goblet]

whereas there was also a caste of crew who lived on the ship and were born on the ship and died on the ship etc

and command staff were cycling in like 30 year periods like strauss

[strong cargo]

Lots of dreaming motifs amongst everyone. The runners, compiler, Colonist cult, etc.

[pure prairie]

Androids dreaming of electric sheep 😴

[strong cargo]

Yeah they also debated procreation during the Marathon voyage and it was like controlled/contractual

[strong cargo]

Yeah and big inspiration from I have no mouth, yet I must scream.

[pure prairie]

[strong cargo]

Yes

[distant blaze]

Amazing Digital Circus

[distant blaze]

ohhhh yeah its good

It's cartoony but deep, dark questions of being stuck in VR.

[pure prairie]

Hmm I'll have to check it out this weekend

[edgy elk]

tadc sux!!!!!!!

[pure prairie]

Cartoony stuff usually is a turn off for me, but I've been pleasantly surprised recently with a few series. Scavengers Reign blew my socks off, and Don't Hug Me I'm Scared was surprisingly deep.

[maiden gazelle]

fuck general chat really is hell

[strong cargo]

Give it a watch, it's good stuff

Yeah it's crazy over there lol

[distant blaze]

if i had somethin to say i'

fuck

[maiden gazelle]

ggs

[edgy elk]

bridge kids is a funny youtube animation series

[distant blaze]

if i had somethin to say i'd just start timing out people who are debating about playercount

me when im being nonproductive and hindering discussion

not you mehu the genchat

[edgy elk]

yea i didnt think you were talking about me dw

[strong cargo]

And the funny part to me is all this talk of player count and such and all you need to do to support it is.....keep playing lol

[edgy elk]

yea idc, im having fun and thats all that matters to me

[pure prairie]

Someone was talking about another discord asking people to come in and disrupt things

[strong cargo]

Exactly

[pure prairie]

I have 0 idea if that was fanfiction, or if it was actually happening

[pure prairie]

NGL, STS2 and Deadlock steal my attention constantly.

Oh, I know why they're discussing play numbers/sales. Cross put out two vods recently discussing those two exact things

[edgy elk]

i never got into deadlock back during its early beta or whatever, but im glad its blooming

[strong cargo]

Insane because Cross is pretty positive on the game overall.

I see a few other YouTubers seeing it as potential view farming and doing similar takes.

[edgy elk]

and indie games like sts2 are making waves while pissing off AAA studios always makes me happy

[strong cargo]

Facts

[pure prairie]

I haven't watched the 2nd one he released, but the first one was hopeful. He listened to someone in the industry discussing sales numbers/cost of production/etc. etc.

I would characterize it as optimistic

[edgy elk]

it was so funny when schedule 1 boomed and these publishers really displayed their anger

[strong cargo]

Yeah I felt bad for the dude for a bit. His chat was FULL of people asking the same questions over and over and over. People just fishing for a bad comment.

[pure prairie]

The internet has truly become a strange place

”well ok bro but i just killed 11 and made it out with 95k”

who even enjoys convos like that

[torn hare]

No it's mostly trolls posting long AI generated paragraphs about the "utter failure of the 350 billion dollar budget game" or whatever

[strong cargo]

My rook superiority smiles when players debate like that lol

[pure prairie]

Oh hey zenith

Welcome to the picnic

[strong cargo]

I had a GRAND time last night with music playing over prox chat while rooking. I knew it would get me killed, but I didn't expect it to make Claymore traps 10000% more effective

[edgy elk]

i like screaming over prox chat when runners are near

[strong cargo]

My favorite spot is Pinwheel entrances. The ladders up from the elevator are insane choke points and easy hide spots.

[ebon needle]

Vents in pinwheel do dumbo claymore murders

Someone codsliding for their montage only to be pasted on the wall behind them

[edgy elk]

rooks dont even check the laddes for claymores and its so funny

[strong cargo]

It's crazy haha because it's tough to see through the vent entrance

[edgy elk]

runners are always spotting me in the vents, even if ididnt break them

[ebon needle]

My favourite is just lolplacing claymores at junctions and then just leaving them. Five minutes later down goes a reckless rook while im just doing something entirely unrelated

[edgy elk]

and it hasnt even been a thief spotting me

[strong cargo]

I need to run a recording because you can set them while the mask is active. Had a group fighting the hacking part with bot wave into pinwheel. I rushed them and with bots pushed all the way to the red door. I just snuck claymores around the boxes and it was pure hell for them.

[ebon needle]

Good strat

[strong cargo]

Lowkey is great for surveillance too and knowing where/how many teams are on map if they set one off.

[edgy elk]

do trappacks explode on their own after a while?

[strong cargo]

I don't think so

Can't confirm 100% tho. There's an easy cheat they may patch. When you go to loot then they say "Search Container" not just search

[edgy elk]

ive had trappacks go off without any trace of anyone near

[edgy elk]

yea it takes a second longer too loot trappacks

[dawn chasm]

Yes also clays

[edgy elk]

i see i see, i wonder if this will make me more or less paranoid

[strong cargo]

I wonder about the timer

[dawn chasm]

Ive also seen ammo boxes despawn

[strong cargo]

Because I leave them in buildings to monitor movement all the time.

I might test this tonight

Lay a claymore and rat in a vent.

[dawn chasm]

Its ~15 or 20 mins i think.

[edgy elk]

15 seems plausible

[strong cargo]

Yeah that makes sense

[minor gyro]

they dont last the entire match?

[distant blaze]

did a dire marsh run and didnt run into a single peson 🎊

i got my nucal contract done yayyyyyy yippeeee

[edgy elk]

im jealous

[distant blaze]

the cool and easy solution: dont go to algae ponds and dont book it to the objective

give people time to spread out

go slooow

[edgy elk]

yea thats what i always do

but theres always a guy camping the doors at quarantine

[desert kindle]

Just got my first Ai subroutine

😎

[kindred plaza]

which one?

[stoic atlas]

my best run so far

[rocky ledge]

I would say every game should be Marathon but only Marathon can be Marathon and I wouldn’t want something not Marathon to try to be Marathon and be disappointed that they aren’t Marathon.

You guys ever feel that way?

[teal aspen]

Pretty goated. Which map?

[mighty elm]

i WISH i had 170k credits gawddamn

[rustic sandal]

gotta get that compiler trace

[stoic atlas]

cryo

we got into vault 1

started with mid gear and then killed two stacked teams back to back

[rustic sandal]

I dont think the vaults are really that bad to get, like i get losing keys but you can equally take keys

we killed a group yesterday and they had a 02 and 06 like...

idk why they brought in their 06 but they did

[stoic atlas]

happens

its also never yours

[wintry jewel]

Has anyone figured out yet what the tranquility key is for

[stoic atlas]

its ours

:)

[dusty cairn]

Enduring items have a max value right?

[rustic sandal]

a vault

[wintry jewel]

Any or one in particular?

[stoic atlas]

vault 5 i think

[wintry jewel]

Interesting thanks

[rustic sandal]

the key tells you if you have them to look at

[wintry jewel]

It just says for a secured room

[rustic sandal]

no like the vault keys

tell you what they need

[jolly goblet]

if you hover over it it will say like

8 batteries

1 coolant

or smth like that

[wintry jewel]

Ah ok

[minor gyro]

outland is THE best gun in the game

no contest

[wintry jewel]

I'd be lying if I said I had even gotten to the point of being able to do that lmao

[minor gyro]

i downed two 🍇🛡️ runners in two BODY shots

[minor gyro]

notably you can exfil with Cryo map objective items

[jolly goblet]

do you keep them

ive lowkey never left with batteries on me

i dont think

[minor gyro]

um i exfiled with some by accident

which is how i learned of this
