ive been doing fairly good on recon

#

she also just the drippiest out of all the shells imo

#

drone just buggy but when it works its crazy, and the ult def needs more info

#

i dont get people who want a removal of the tracker drone, and a rework for stalker protocol (steps are my fav part)

#

prolly buying the luxe palace skin, too drippy

static gazelle
#

its so goated

#

thief takes herself out of a fight but gives more info

#

recon doesnt, gets to use her own info to kill people, way more chasedown and rushdown oriented

unreal sedge
#

The problem with her being so rush down oriented is she has 0 escape or defensive options

#

That's just not going to work out often enough

#

And even the rush down is a bit questionable because again, no mobility

#

My fix would be removing a good bit of the reliance on pushing. Change the ping on finish to ping on elim, add a ping to the shield break trail so you don't need los for it to be useful

acoustic shard
#

Giving Vandal and Recon some more oomph to match their counterparts.

Vandal buffs?! woo!

static gazelle
#

imo. just give more info on her ult, or make it not reveal recon herself, aswell as make the tracking better, and shes simply a high tier shield

#

cause already

half spire
#

thief wins cause her dogs are out

static gazelle
#

when she works

#

she fucking apes full teams

#

but when she doesnt, she reallly doesnt

#

i do think signal jammer should still get pinged via recon ult, but give less info

unreal sedge
#

To me it feels like she really shines when the opponents are bad and separate a lot

static gazelle
#

ive hit 3 person cluster payload drones, and it makes me ascend into the heavens

#

3 back to back cracks and just rush in with a misriah

#

and teams seperate naturally alot

half spire
#

oh i got a v95 today

#

that thing felt awesome for bot killing

#

charge shot rips through them

unreal sedge
#

They need to separate to the point where you can safely get a finisher/push them behind their cover. Most decent teams have los on their mates

static gazelle
#

sometimes seperating isnt throwing, playing on different floors of dorms for instance works alot of the time

#

i wouldnt say no to improved finisher speeds on recon tho!

#

quicker finisher where you just snap their neck or something

copper silo
#

Or just straight throw your knife at them as an animation

cyan lantern
#

Honestly recons biggest issue is that for being a two ability shell she has no real passives that give her an advantage like Vandall or destroyer. Her passives are good but only help when you're already in control of a fight

static gazelle
#

yeah no third button does suck

#

id like either a redirect drone command/ change drone mode to patrol etc

#

or those green tripwires that ghost wardens place as a high cd third ability

#

place em to get pings on people for 4s ~

unreal sedge
#

Yeah her passives are pretty meh

static gazelle
#

but the passives imo are some of the strongest parts of her kit

#

she is oriented to being a Win more character while people sometimes try playing her as a lose less character

real plume
#

"A new item to give solos a more common option when downed."

a double-revive system for trades?

unreal sedge
static gazelle
unreal sedge
#

True

static gazelle
#

which is why they exist

#

if every character was oriented around the neutral game

#

then the game would be more boring

unreal sedge
#

That's one explanation. I usually see it as a misunderstanding of the breakpoints

static gazelle
#

stalker protocol has been insanely fun to use, and has helped me hella times

#

maps are all designed to have like 4 different corridors in each room at times

#

someone runs into a corn maze and its joever

#

but not with stalker protocol

#

shits tuff

cyan lantern
#

Stalker protocol immediately breaks when players learn to use verticality though

unreal sedge
#

Or you push to chase and get gunned down by their team or a 3rd party

strange anchor
#

it following the same moving system as ticks is the biggest issue anyways

static gazelle
#

i dont think recon needs a 3rd active ability, but spitballing and thinking of one is fun

static gazelle
#

overheat absolutely FUCKS people

# static gazelle i dont think recon needs a 3rd active ability, but spitballing and thinking of ...

Respectfully I disagree. Every runner except Recon has effectively 3 abilities they can activate on demand. Vandal and Destroyer have super mobility, Triage has damage buff, etc. You can press that button anytime.
Recon's interrogation isn't a button you can press, it's dependent on finishing specifically runners on a team.. Stalker is nice but it only works when a fight is effectively over, unlike say Destroyer where a well-aimed boost can change the result of a fight

#

Recon is one of my favorite shells (especially for design) but her kit feels underpowered compared to the rest

#

Even having Stalker work like Thief's goggles would be a massive improvement

upper solstice
#

Recon is kitted up to finish off a team pretty damn well but people keep trying to use it to find the team.

dusky kelp
#

To the Rook I just killed (as a Rook) I am so sorry.

upper solstice
#

Everything it has is designed around chasing down and finishing off people who try to disengage and hide to resurrect bags. It's not a poor set of features so much as it is poor naming.

Hard to tell. My guess is u stepped out of the zone dureing the partical transfer process and it canceled it. (Tho i didint think it was possible to move at all when u start glowing)

Also... loosing a gold sheild that way must be fkn roughplushie

(After watching it a few times i think its safe to say you died cause u stepped out of the zone b4 the transfer could finish)

if you'r eable to get that close to someone, imo you deserve the kill and the diss

As long as i can still 1 tap no sheilded players, and 3 tap purps. Its a knife... it jab into neck... lots of dmg. Let it stay strong

and like 3 shells have kit abilities to disengage from close quarters

#

Well that and its kinda needed for rook runs sometimes

rustic marsh
#

yea
and if you're sneaky enough to get a backstab then that shoul 100% reward you

lament kettle
#

Im kinda 2 ways about it, on one hand its a little annoying pumping bullets into a player just to have them stab you to death so quickly, on the other hand its neat to be able to have a fighting chance against kitted players when im a rook or on a crap sponsored kit

arctic topaz
#

It sounded for the knife that maybe the issue is the scaling/arachne upgrades. I don't know exactly how the Melee Damage stat works in regards to shields/health but base melee is between 5 - 15 dependent on character

Each arachne bumps it 20, being able to go to +60 to the base at full upgrade seems really strong - maybe they'll adjust the bumps to 15

some implants and stuff can also get pretty crazy. but I'm still too low level for it to be noticeable to me.

The first melee damage upgrade from arachne letting you 1 hit kill the light bots is huge though

I loaded in with almost a 10k loadout and had sponsored teammates. make it make sense

Understandable since ur probably whining to them about having a free kit the entire round or not communicating at all

Trying to do some homework on Cryo, would like to hit it this week or the next. If you want to do a compiler run, do you have to clear all 7 vaults in one raid or do they carry over throughout the weekends?

In the case of Marathon, you can't really have limitations with optics. Game is set in the 29th century, technology for the optics would be perfected

It's not an exaggeration—the user base is dropping because hackers aren't getting banned even after 2 or 3 weeks. The same people keep killing everyone. The Asia server is basically dead, and now those hackers are heading to North American servers.

Im just saying the value you get out of teaming is higher than solo

Its that these people dont care and are gambling with free kits while im trying to get contracts done or take on some more challenging content

So I play rook on my time off right now unfortunately

At least im not dragging down others by gambling on rook

Free kit is just less risk than bringing good gear

if you aren’t aware an ARG is an alternate reality game where folks irl solve puzzles to reveal stuff in game or for the game

Null Transmitter was essentially a clue bot during the ARG. We would hit a wall and then NULL would send a message (eventually) giving us clues on what to do next to continue solving the puzzle.

It became a meme because we hit so many fucking walls that the entire chat became that gif in a desperate attempt to summon the bot.

I like Marathon.

I say so much in this video that it feels redundant to write anything here. Nonetheless, this covers everything we learned from the Marathon ARG that played out in 2023. I apologize for the inconsistent audio quality, I'm an amateur. I am working on a better recording method though and I hope it...

Your DAC was used to track your progress in the ARG. It was also used to play the final matching puzzle in the discord desktop app.

it's still used tbh, you can always do the contracts

Ill try to watch the whole thing later tonight but it seems from doing a quick skim that this is ARG thing is not something i would enjoy doing.

What is restoration field for Triage combat medic core?

dusty cairn
#

all of these (minus the purple/yellow) have stayed the same

cerulean swan
#

that sight is probably one of the better ones. Range buffs are really impactful to avoid damage falloff and keep aim assist outside of spitting distance.

#

pretty sure it's the range sight at least...

#

ever get lasered by a bully at wtf ranges? That sight is one of the reasons why.

dusty cairn
#

Hmm actually these are not bad looking at the actual attachments. They really need to work on descriptions

cerulean swan
#

yeah it's on a per weapon basis I think, so if you don't have it equipped it cant' even give you pretend stats.

dusty cairn
#

Wish I could buy the suppressor or a bigger mag but these should turn th bully into a laser

#

seeing "stability and ready speed" on the barrel catfished me

heady blaze
#

Steady rounds is so good

cerulean swan
#

at least getting blue mags lets it get to some solid numbers.

#

though unironically I expect the bully to get nerfed AT LEAST in some of the absurd ammo numbers it gets. I have seen what purple bullies look like and it's sort of goofy.

wind nexus

I feel like a base dmg nerf is likely as well

bronze robin

What were you expecting

the BRRT feels so hard to use because there is no ammo mod slot in comparison.

still shouldn't be making some of the LMGs sweat. 😛

bronze robin
cerulean swan

That may be true, but ammo capacity is also the LMG's schtick.

bronze robin
#

Just use a gold turbo belt

#

Or whatever it's called

#

Mega belt?

I had a blue LMG with 111 rounds

cerulean swan

Alas I am poverty gaming, I have seen no golds yet.

SUCKS

bronze robin
#

I think i actually still have that mod too

honest wadi
#

i felt that

#

also i didnt mean caps its my crouch bind

cerulean swan
#

Still expect an ammo nerf on it though, too much margin for error. We'll see though.

#

I am mostly looking forward to what they are going to do to vandal.

#

Legit played destroyer for 30 seconds and had whiplash at the relative quality of life/power

bronze robin
#

I honestly dont see an issue

(Outside of content creators controlling the meta with 'you must use this weapon because it's broken' shorts on yt)

#

I need to start paying more attention to those so I can better plan what enemy teams will be bringing

#

I got so many suped up bullies and punches after both of those shorts dropped

#

So much good goop

unreal sedge
cerulean swan
#

yeah glad they are getting poked.

#

I have not played recon so I dunno what they are going to do.

#

I have played mostly vandal so I am like over here with a pinboard full of "AND THIS THING, AND THIS, AND THIS HTING OVER HERE"

honest wadi
#

i feel like it was easier to play vandal than destroyer

unreal sedge
#

I just hope the non-burst dmrs and the non-retaliator lmgs also get some love. There's not a lot of reason to run them currently

cerulean swan
#

for things that could be improved without breaking stuff

rare ore
#

i would like it if they make it possible to bind crouch separately than slide

honest wadi
#

vandal could use a heat capactity buff tho frs

cerulean swan
#

Yeah I 100% want to do normal slides.

rare ore
#

on vandal esp if you accidentally slide when running up to a window/rooftop you lowk go off the edge and die lmfao

cerulean swan
#

just use the desytroyer's double tap sprint to do the power slide

honest wadi
#

destroyer horizontal movement undefeated

cerulean swan
#

and then that could let me powerslide from a standstill, out of vents and stuff.

honest wadi
#

but just cuz vandal can go up i its better imo

cerulean swan
#

🙂

rare ore
#

i ran up to the window at that main building in intersection and went to crouch after sprinting but you need to release sprint for like 0.1 seconds or something and so i slid out and landed on a commander and also got shot by the last guy of the team i was trying to peak

honest wadi
#

a dedicated mantle bind would be coo;

cerulean swan
#

I know your pain

honest wadi
#

i hate accidentally double jumping trying to mantle

cerulean swan
#

yeah that's a big one.

honest wadi
#

or boosting off geometry

rare ore
#

or trying to mantle and doing a wall bounce

cerulean swan
#

just give me those two QoL and maybe I dunno what to do about shooting during the powerslide, I dunno if that'd break stuff.

#

canceling it early would be cool though

honest wadi
#

that would be tuff

#

nerf nades

cerulean swan
#

at least not sitting there sliding into a wall animation locked for half a second would be lovely

honest wadi
#

LMAO

#

animation canceling period

cerulean swan
#

also 100% need a core that lets me fighting game yolo slide into people and send them flying

#

😛

honest wadi
#

or shorten the amount of time it takes to tad ad put my cards in

#

those are my only complaints

#

other than that game is cinema

cerulean swan
#

at least being able to bail out of it would be nice, but that's a general QoL. the being exposed to do it is definitately gamebalance intentional

honest wadi
cerulean swan
#

Lol

honest wadi
#

if i tad and i shouldnt have let me fix that

#

dont just fuck me without buying me a mcchicken first

cerulean swan
#

I do hope that the data cards get compeltely animation cancelable, holycrap

#

esp since I see it occasionally not play the animation as I pick up like two or have some other animation overlapping it so it doesn't play

honest wadi
#

that would be nice to but then dont jsut pick up floor monies

but the penny!

I just need to do more pinwheel in general

vivid panther

I have even benefitted from the TAD animation. Playing duos on marsh last week, kill one of the two, the other runs off and hides. Go to hit a nearby tad, his teammate knifes me a few times in the back.

however instead of finishing me, he ended up hitting the tad instead while I was crawling away probably by mistake, and I was able to get up and kill him lol.
