breach-protocol

[pure prairie]

Yeah, I'm gonna send a few after work

[vivid panther]

I might not even go in with a free kit.

might just go in with a knife and do some real zero to hero stuff

[pure prairie]

I just wonder what the queue time looks like and if the community is biting

[vivid panther]

I would imagine it’s pretty popular outside of the 1%?

this gives a great opportunity for people to get caught up on their dire marsh contracts.

[unreal sedge]

Especially the people that cry about thermals on Marsh. Guaranteed 0

[soft prawn]

Don't think you can go in with JUST knife. Pretty sure you have to have a sponsored kit on.

[vivid panther]

I have an opinion.

I don’t like how they’re balancing thermals at all.

[unreal sedge]

You can just drop it all when you load in

[soft prawn]

Well...ok then. 😂

[vivid panther]

I don’t like how they’re simultaneously nerfing them and making them more rare.

[lyric trail]

Yeah they seem kind of useless

I was already struggling with them last weekend when everyone was signal jammed so my gun just didnt get optics

[vivid panther]

Sniper thermals having the same distance as PR thermals is a choice when I can build out my strider to 100+ meters pretty easily and it’s more forgiving

[pure prairie]

Honestly, I would have gone the opposite direction tbh. If people are complaining about being gear diff'd by blue thermals, put in a green thermal.

[lyric trail]

Now signal jammers are free

[pure prairie]

Level the playing field, yknow?

[vivid panther]

I kind of feel the same way.

like just making signal jammers available in the armory would have been enough? that in itself is a nerf to thermals.

[lyric trail]

Im cool with making thermals rare and exciting, but having a common counter deflates that

[runic flicker]

you dont know that guy lmao, you should look up his older messages in this chat

[vivid panther]

I think rare should = really strong.

[unreal sedge]

Oh I already have him blocked that was why that's my advice lol

[lyric trail]

A common counter that gives everything immunity already

[vivid panther]

but I don’t think bungie thinks the same given how good the bully is compared to the copperhead

[runic flicker]

fuck ill do it too then

[lyric trail]

I brought copperhead to cryo once thinking it would be cool lmao

[soft prawn]

Have you tried the Copperhead since the buff? I haven't yet so I was wondering if it's viable now.

[vivid panther]

I’ve not

But I did buy one last night

[lyric trail]

Literal airsoft gun

[vivid panther]

so I may try it out.

[soft prawn]

I mean the buffs sounded good on paper...but waiting to hear how it is in practice.

[vivid panther]

I mean using the copperhead in its effective range before felt fine but

it’s not got very good range at all

bully doubles it

or can

[soft prawn]

Also, get good nerds, I still have 4 blue thermals in the vault. 😎

[vivid panther]

And I guess the bully is also kind of an outlier. the more I think the rarer guns in the weapon classes are generally better.

[lyric trail]

Uh bungie ban this person for having illegal gear?

[vivid panther]

Misriah, Outland, whatever. I think they’re better than their more common counterparts.

but at the same time I also think the hardline is better than the twin tap.

idk I’m just rambling now.

[lyric trail]

Hmm I think I hard disagree on that

Twin tap feels amazing to me

[unreal sedge]

yeah range upgrades have to be top priority on smgs

[lyric panther]

the game is extremely balanced u can win anything with anything in its optimal range

[turbid girder]

"okay" but what do the "unique" ones give even xDD

[soft prawn]

Yeah but if you're looking to be ammo efficient, wouldn't carrying a single ammo type be better? So pair the Copperhead with like a B33 or M77 be better then carrying both light and heavy ammo?

[lyric panther]

ive killed purple shield dude with a magnum cuz I was in a good spot to be shooting with magnum lmao

[torn hare]

Disagree, hardline is an actual peashooter. It literally cannot damage wardens 💀 can't even break the shield

[vivid panther]

well I’m shooting players with hard lines not wardens

[lyric panther]

are u aiming for the head 😭

the hardline is better than the magnum

[torn hare]

Wasnt me but I watched a vid of a guy running only hardline for a challenge

[vivid panther]

Don’t get it twisted I’m not some hardline advocate but I can comfortably click heads with it vs the twin tap

[lyric panther]

they probably sucked ngl

[vivid panther]

I just do not like the twin tap

[lyric panther]

with an optic on it the hardline is just a bit better than the magnum

[vivid panther]

hardline has deceptively good headshot damage

[lyric panther]

the twin tap is only really good with stability mods

[vivid panther]

and can have really low recoil when you lean into those builds

[torn hare]

I mean not really they were doing lockdowns solo with it and taking down players

[unreal sedge]

and range

[lyric panther]

it’s acceptable of a weapon it’s not disgusting tho by any means

[soft prawn]

Pah, they're staying in my vault into the last week of wipe. 😂 Then when I die with them people can be like, "WHOA! He had a blue thermal! He's a hacker!" And I'll just giggle because it'll be wiped in a few days.

[vivid panther]

that’s another weird one where the twin tap is really rare and you’d think it would be really really good but it’s like

[lyric panther]

it’s just a bit better than magnum just a bit worse than the volley

[vivid panther]

it’s a love it or hate it gun

[torn hare]

It's really bad with iron sights I wish the traxus kit had a scope for it

[lyric trail]

Why doesnt the attachment faction give attachments on their kits 🤔

[lyric panther]

the moment u get an optic it becomes pretty viable

[vivid panther]

I’ve become really weird and have started branching out to try different guns here and there just for some variety. has lead to me having a few crushes that I didn’t have before.

overrun with a drum mag, recoil grip, and far reach optic feels surprisingly good in PvP.

[lyric panther]

I had a hardline phase it can melt if u hit the head

ive yet to try the overrun kitted out

[vivid panther]

yeah I don’t think it’s a top tier gun but with the right build I really like it

[lyric panther]

probably a solid c tier weapon

[vivid panther]

a blue or purple stability grip really tightens up the recoil pattern.

but it needs at least a blue drum mag.

[lyric panther]

yes cuz it’s a bullet hose I’ll surely try it out

my fav weapon in the game is v11 punch it’s easy to get and hasn’t ever failed me

[vivid panther]

I will also say it is abysmally bad vs PVE.

so would consider bringing in a secondary that can clear out ads efficiently. like the punch.

talking about the punch and volt guns I never see people running lookouts and that gun REALLY fucks

[lyric panther]

it does bro and I never see anyone using it

I use it myself quite a bit

[lyric trail]

Lookout is great, I love all the volt guns pretty much

Wish the volt cell ability wasnt on triage though >_>

[vivid panther]

like if I go in with a 2.5 nucal/sekgen kit or free kit and find a lookout I’m dropping my primary for it

[lyric trail]

Feel like im forced to play this character to get the most value out of my volties

[lyric panther]

I didn’t even know that volt weapons were supposed to overheat people on hit

that buff was kinda huge

[edgy kestrel]

additional stats

[lyric trail]

They are???

[lyric panther]

yes now every hit overheats other runners

[vivid panther]

…what?

[lyric panther]

it’s disgusting they were already my favorite weapons

[lyric trail]

I knew the ultra volt cell weapons were supposed to

Not regular tho

[lyric panther]

Volt battery weapons overheat people on hit

[edgy kestrel]

i am going to buy v11 puch legendary mode right now damn

[lyric trail]

Volt battery

Not cell lol

[vivid panther]

so the circuit breaker etc?

[lyric panther]

I think the patch said cell

I can double check

[lyric trail]

Yeah circuit breaker and v99 do that

[vivid panther]

let me read the patch notes real quick hold on.

I’ve missed that.

that’s a big change.

[lyric trail]

Thats not new

[lyric panther]

It does say cell

so now cell overheats people too

[lyric trail]

They probably buffed it tho because it didnt do much

[lyric trail]

Holy...

[lyric panther]

like I was saying

It’s a huge change no one noticed

[lyric trail]

Volt cell my beloved

Wish scar was easier to get ahold of

[lyric panther]

I have 23x scar schemas

[vivid panther]

okay yeah how did I overlook that

[lyric panther]

I saw it in bold

makes the needler way better too

I was wondering why my purple fill teammates were using needler and railgun

[vivid panther]

I already liked 2 of the volt guns a lot

now I’m gonna have to give them another try lol

[lyric panther]

you should they are actually really good now

u can immobilize people lmao

[vivid panther]

yeah I was already a big fan of the gold punch and its charge shot

[lyric panther]

I’d imagine that it instantly overheats people now

[lyric trail]

Immobalize and emp

Crazy

[vivid panther]

well it did.

I think.

[lyric panther]

I wonder if a regular charge shot will do more heat wise this begs testing

[lyric trail]

Are railguns actually good now?

[lyric panther]

yes if u don’t charge up in front of someone

[upbeat perch]

they have always been pretty crazy

[lyric panther]

they’re really good now

[vivid panther]

I didn’t like the rail guns before. the buffed charge up helps.

wtf man the triage EMP builds are about to get really crazy.

[lean kindle]

can i turn off this stay together shit i do not want to stay together if I am doing fills I want randoms every time

[unreal sedge]

volt cells are not the same thing as batteries

[vivid panther]

correct

[terse vale]

Aren't volt cells the guns like circuit breaker and channel rifle?

[vivid panther]

those are batteries

[torn hare]

Yes

[vivid panther]

or are they

I’ve become confused

[round ridge]

Circuit and channel are cells

[vivid panther]

yeah im an idiot

my brain wants to think batteries are bigger than cells

[round ridge]

That kinda would make sense actually

[vivid panther]

it does in my head but alas.

[terse vale]

Are there other weapons that use cell? I dont remember if Zeus does

[vivid panther]

Zeus does yes.

those are the only 3 I think?

[terse vale]

Hell yeah can't wait to use zeus

[vivid panther]

would be cool if they added a heavy volt cell LMG or something.

[terse vale]

I agree

[round ridge]

Man that would be awesome

[vivid panther]

okay so the punch/thrower/scar etc do not generate heat. Circuit breaker/channel rifle/zeus do.

this makes me want to use a channel rifle.

[round ridge]

Correct

[grand magnet]

So what do you guys think of the Experimental Queue ?

I had more fun in 4 or 5 sessions than all my recent regular matches

I feel like there are less squads as well, I'll have to double check the patch notes

[vivid panther]

I’m gonna try it tonight. hunting for the blue unique guns.

thought I’d find some farming some stuff on perimeter last night but had no such luck.

[woeful parcel]

Anyone know if queing duo on the new dmarsh experiment puts you with trios or duos?

[woeful parcel]

Super fun

[vivid panther]

I’m going to assume it puts you with trios

[grand magnet]

trios, there are no duos anymore

[vivid panther]

but duo queueing the free kit mode isn’t so bad

[woeful parcel]

Aight. The description was a bit ambiguous

[grand magnet]

yeah fights feel way more fair

[vivid panther]

me and my duo were duo no filling every map and just decided to play random fill last night.

felt like taking the training wheels off unironically

[grand magnet]

Like I felt like I was put against more similar skilled players this time around

And it felt like there was one or two squads less than regular

I didnt get spawn killed in a single match

[vivid panther]

bio research spawn might be an OP one early given there’s a ton of arms lockers in those buildings

[woeful parcel]

We killed 2 teams, 1 extracted and then we got killed by 1

So at least 5 I guess

Ye bio research or algea is sick

Algae if warden spawns guarantees gunlockers at the ground floor

[vivid panther]

yall see ottr crashing out on twitter?

[vivid panther]

didn’t know this but i will now remember it.

[woeful parcel]

Ye theyre like

On the side with the high roof

Near the yellow tape openings

[upbeat perch]

someone post the marton picture with vandals face

[whole vigil]

I think they should work on how much heat a player has.

[vivid panther]

I saw that idea originally but it feels like it would be hard to actually incorporate into the game?

I’ve no clue though

like I said I think that making them exclusively purple and then nerfing the sniper thermals further is an interesting choice

[wary tusk]

it won’t stop them from being oppressive, it just means only the best players are going to have them

[unreal sedge]

yeah and it would have to have some kind of floor too the thermals are opaque otherwise

[wary tusk]

the thermals could still be common but just be worse across the board which is more equitable

[vivid panther]

like I said before I think if you’re going to make something rare it should be really strong.

[dire spoke]

i got a question my worm friends: is duos basicly back in the new experemintel que?

[vivid panther]

I was personally fine with the thermal snipers being at 100m

[dire spoke]

as in: if i just que with my buddy without fill we will only get matched with other duos? can sombody confirm?

[vivid panther]

I don’t believe that’s the case

[upbeat perch]

thanks gaius

why he a megaman character name tho

[upbeat perch]

see what it says when u and him are both in lobby and you check this setting

cant test right now cause i dont have someone with me lol

[unreal sedge]

ugh, finally at cyac vip, now I need 67k to drop on wallet capacity Im not gonna use

[celest jewel]

can anyone message me and explain how the new-noise works. Im old

[unreal sedge]

No

[tacit light]

why?

[unreal sedge]

It always gets abused lol

There's inevitably an exploit to get controller aim assist with it

[tacit light]

not really

games like ow do ibmm

which really should be the standard

[unreal sedge]

I don't really think OverWatch is a great example to go off of really anything

Ultimately though, I'm just the wrong audience. I don't really want to queue with console players at all. Much less ones that could potentially be exploiting. But PC doesn't get a choice

[lyric trail]

Why are pc users treated like second class citizens? They can turn crossplay off to avoid our dirty cheaters but we cant turn crossplay off to avoid their dirty aim assist?

[unreal sedge]

Yep. Chasing down the idea that you can properly balance mouse and keyboard and controller is just a fool's errand
It inevitably ends up with controller being a bit overpowered because they make a bigger stink about it

[celest jewel]

cause you can plug in a controller to any pc

m&kb gets more percise aim, faster flicks, ability to manipulate on screen menues. Controller gets arguably better movement with stick vs wasd and aim assist, (and ergonomics)

[unreal sedge]

They know a large portion of PC players would turn it off and console q times would get bad

[celest jewel]

I think console population is higher than a lot of pc people think sometimes

[prisma rose]

May I ask what Breach Protocol is?

[celest jewel]

I do both. I prefer controller

[lyric trail]

This was confirmed false

[celest jewel]

also I like how console is more plug and play

[unreal sedge]

There's some definite upsides to console for sure

[celest jewel]

how can you confirm false that it is higher than someone thinks?

I am confused. Unless you misread my statement and thought I said there are more console than pc which i did not say

[lyric trail]

Because all pc players pretty much assumed this to be a primarily console playerbase and journalists have recently come out with bungie sources saying pc has the largest playerbase

[celest jewel]

yes

[pure prairie]

Breach Protocol was the ARG chat. Now it's a chill place to shitpost, talk with bros and post gifs. It'll probably be used for the next ARG bungo releases.

[celest jewel]

so what was false about my statement?

[lyric trail]

We assumed the number was high and its not

Not the other way around

[celest jewel]

wut

can you not read what i said

[pure prairie]

tbf, I had to re-read it. I totally misread it the first time

[lyric trail]

Ive re-read it several times

Am I not getting it?

[strong cargo]

Breach Protocol is the only good chat here haha

[celest jewel]

"They know a large portion of PC players would turn it off and console q times would get bad" I was simply replying that the console population may be high enough for decent game load times

[lyric trail]

I genuinely could have misread, could you rephrase?

Oh I see

Ah I missed the context

[celest jewel]

ie that it is not the reason for pc only

[prisma rose]

Thank you for answering. I've been into the Marathon lore due to Mandalore Gaming. Personally, I do want to see a return to roots. Where might I go to offer my thoughts on potentially offering a better marketing strategy for Bungie to make? I'm willing to give the game a chance, but not in the state it's in currently.

[celest jewel]

I think it would probably be due to the number of mixed gamer groups

if a large number of console players play with pc groups then that would be bad to turn it off vs the gain of not having console players in pc games

ie I believe they make decisions based on analytics and have come to the conclusion that cross platform pc to console is beneficial in some way

[lyric trail]

Im willing to forsake it

Ive seen console players pull some absolute nonsense

Bungie you made the controller shooter a thing

Its time to bury it

[celest jewel]

I for instance as a very old halo player who hasn't really pc gamed since CS1.6 and diablo2 just like my console

I really much prefer controller

[pure prairie]

Oh uh...I don't know if there's an official channel for marketing feedback, but I'm fairly certain you can still leave a feedback thread in #1478943087957905550

[celest jewel]

my aim is better with mouse but idk I just like the controller experience

I'm not trying to be mlg anymore

[lyric trail]

Ive been considering switching because I have some severe (but not clinical) motor skill deficiencies and cant land wstr shots 😭

To improve my shit aim

[celest jewel]

yeah idk I know there is aim assist but games like seige and when pubg console was a thing they weren't supposed to have any

I had a firend who was an insane OW player on controller

no aim assist

[pure prairie]

Did he use a gyro-enabled controller?

[celest jewel]

im not saying it doesn't help

no

[lyric trail]

Can I do hybrid? Like switch to m+kb when I loot?

[celest jewel]

standard xbox

um ive messed around with mix

xbox controllers with pc can do it natively

left hand controller right hand mouse

[pure prairie]

PS5 controllers can do it too through steam

[lyric trail]

Im used to it in other games, hate the controller as a mouse thing they do

[celest jewel]

yeah

idk I think as long as aim assist isn't too crazy the advantage of mouse overall is still greater than moderate aim assist

[lyric trail]

It is crazy is the thing

[celest jewel]

the best marathon players I know are all on m&kb

The best controller player i know is like 4th on the list

so idk

[solemn mica]

Wait
So the CARRI wares, they dont restock daily, but weekly?

[solemn mica]

so once bought, theyre permamently gone?

[granite tartan]

That is what not refreshing means, yes

[solemn mica]

Damn
I was hoping i could use CARRI for faction and key grinding

[granite tartan]

lol nah

[vivid panther]

controller in marathon is good. pretty strong AA friction.

doesn’t have any crazy rotational AA like COD though and is countered by windows, smoke, and invis.

[unreal sedge]

They have to refresh or change at some point since we didn't all get the same stuff

[cyan nest]

I should diy my racoon pink and name him dingus

[hazy bone]

Have you seen the event of MIDA in outpost¿

[cyan nest]

No

[wispy field]

That's a quest not an event

[hazy bone]

he just appeared with a massive lockdown ship above outpost

oh sorry

i¡ve never seen it so i thought might be an event

[soft prawn]

Yeah it's the absolute last quest for MIDA. Someone has to go to a location(I think in Pinwheel) and hold it against UESC for like 3min and that happens outside. So you were seeing someone finishing the last MIDA quest.

[hazy bone]

well it was relly coolç

[soft prawn]

Yeah, I've seen a clip of it. Too bad the person whose doing it doesn't get to see it. 😂

[hazy bone]

really¿¿

damn so sad

[soft prawn]

Yeah, they're inside fighting for their life. 😂

[hazy bone]

xDDD

[trail cedar]

Classic Mida

[opaque pewter]

90s retrofuturism is a genuinely radical concept

[tacit light]

the aim assist messes me up sometimes

[lyric trail]

Classic downplaying

Im familiar with fighting game tactics

Dont let them on to your strats

[tacit light]

no no like i will be aiming and it makes me look at an entirely different target

it’s actually kinda difficult

[lyric trail]

Im with you sister

[tacit light]

and it takes forever to turn

[lyric trail]

The aim assist messes me up actually!

[tacit light]

frfr or sarcastic

[lyric trail]

No no sarcasm, the aim assist is actually a hinderance and needs buffs ;)

[tacit light]

no i want the aim assist toned down for one, and two i want to be able to use m&k too because controllers generally don’t feel as great

[valid sphinx]

who is going to inform bro

[lyric trail]

Im messing with you sorry, I wont take it further

[tacit light]

bout what

[whole vigil]

Not unless you have a recording to show the game fucking you so you can show the devs and hope they refund you.

[jagged sage]

I do

Where should I write a support ticket?

[whole vigil]

Then try contacting support, normally they do it for cheating issues.

Bungie's official stance on lost loot: Bungie Support has confirmed they are unable to manually return lost loot, but they do have a system in place that automatically refunds gear lost due to a subset of server errors. This does not cover gameplay losses caused by internet connectivity or client-side problems. > help.marathonthegame.com

your game files corrupted boyo

how tf this happened? i was already playing?

[granite tartan]

corruption can happen at any time

[opal bloom]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn T-T

i hate corruption bro

[granite tartan]

might wanna look into your drive if it happens again for any other file any time soon

[odd python]

what a sumptuous bargain

[granite tartan]

Ah yes the "Definite loss on return" barter

[odd python]

the other day i had a barter for 13 gray mech kits for 1 BIOLENS

[vivid panther]

only really messes me up when I lose it unexpectedly

[tacit light]

for me it’s when something walks near something that i have aim assist on

[sage nymph]

let them have their fun

[pine ruin]

But they need to follow their target to get da food ):

[sage nymph]

nnnaaaaaah :3

[pine ruin]

They will push sand tigers and sandbars out of the way to steal their food but when it's time for them to actually receive their own food they get a bit 🏳️‍🌈 instead

Happy for them, really, but I cannot give them a gold star for conditioning if they do not come to their target smh

[unreal sedge]

Maybe make their target more gay?

[pine ruin]

It's yellow like a citrus I think that's fruity enough yk

[unreal sedge]

Maybe more elongated like a banana

I mean, while playing I was in doubt, but this clip at this speed leaves me speechless ahahah

[brisk cloak]

Yeah same for me the first fet times, even using the v66 lookout and the copperhead gun. My reticle would be right on them but the registration never happened🙃

[cyan nest]

In due time

[brisk cloak]

And the fact that when someone is behind poles or objects ducking in and out of cover there seems to be some invisible wall around them

[faint thicket]

Tbh in 240hrs it’s the first time I notice this, but it makes me wondering on the ones I didn’t catch

[brisk cloak]

Probably has to do with the bullet cone too

It's annoying how bad some of the bullet cones for guns are lol. You could be aiming right at them but ur gun will shoot the bullets around them

[faint thicket]

[brisk cloak]

Or am I just bad?

Nah... definitely the game lol

Im fine with it because bullet magnetism more than makes up for it at the rnahes the guns are intended to be used in but makes sure that guns cant be consistently used outside their ranges

arachne skins r so good what da hell

I still have a few to get.

I like them.

What is this? Making a model? :0

[torn hare]

Got the models pre made, just fixing up parts like hair/eye color, shaders, textures, etc. and posing them

[brisk cloak]

So you making an animation or like a custom skin kinda thing?

[brisk cloak]

Man I wish I could play marathon properly right now

[brisk cloak]

BTW... did the models for the shotgun attachments always look like that or is that from the update?

[runic flicker]

they changed them yea

[torn hare]

No

Just static poses & renders

like this recent one

[karmic stream]

anyone else just get a faction message?

something about a rectangle idk

[graceful aspen]

Fought the worst team of my life and stole AI key

There was 8 minutes of flipping between Ai output tube box, tunnel and AI

Then we had a down at the exit just north of AI in the building

1st ran past me with my pants down to kill my teammate, got him before I processed and shotgunned then stabbed it

Second ran down, shotgun after 8 fail grenades at me

[split grove]

lol???

[graceful aspen]

I shotgunned instead of executed despite damage then had time to heal before the 3rd ran at me and also died

Free prestige key

I had done nothing the whole fight before just get headshot (actually Outland body I thought head) 3 times

The comms must have been horrible

1/26 hazard capsules acquired

[little mica]

this tuff?

[pale oasis]

@void totem the amount of quests I've got completed thanks to free kits means I get to plug my ears when you call me poor

[dusty cairn]

Anyone know if the deluxe uniques are decent or not

[marsh anchor]

delux edition? or delux cosmetics?

[dusty cairn]

They added blue unique weapons to perimiter

Like the cryo vault guns

but lower rarity

[unreal sedge]

theyre good yeah

[graceful aspen]

i fw that background

[unreal sedge]

nothing crazy

but some stats you can't get from mods

[split grove]

i should use some of these tomorrow Clueless~1

ranked has been so good to me. i've been playing ranked for the first time ever this week (second perimeter week) and its lowkey so fun and actually rewarding (besides being basically incentivized to third party, but, thats just how the game works) and i'm neaaaarrlyyy at gold. its lowkey so fun

i havent been playing it like every day or every opportunity, i played it a lot on monday? sunday, maybe, and sparse games here and there and today i did a few

i feel like ranking up is extremely easy

cuz with the silver loss penalty is only like. 2k. and you can get like 30k ranked points in a single run (i think?)

its amazing.

so rewarding and i didnt know how it'd work in an extraction shooter but i lowkey think bungie knocked it out of the park

[torn hare]

Hell yeah nice progress. I really like the whole ranked concept

[split grove]

my main motivation has been the ranked rewards via the codex and

THAT BULLY SKIN

I NEED IT

[brisk cloak]

Are they good and can you customise them?

[unreal sedge]

yes
no

[brisk cloak]

Man :/

Well if they are good then I suppose it doesn't really matter lol

[little mica]

CELEBRATE WITH ME CHAT

[torn hare]

Bros gonna be drowning in purple salvage 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[little mica]

50 enzyme lmao

[torn hare]

😨

[neat hazel]

what's up with the Outland spawn rate

I feel like they maybe misplaced a decimal here

every alarm box I hit today in dire marsh sponsored there's been an outland

I've seen more in the last 12 hours of gameplay than I have in 130 hours

not complaining I fucking love that sniper

[versed shore]

they changed outlands drop rate and price, longshot is now the more expensive sniper for some reason

not complaining since i prefer outland out of the two

also seeing this change makes me believe they will have no problem completely switching availability and prices of all weapons during the new season, like switching copperhead with bully for example

[candid yacht]

and twintap

please make it cheaper

[oak tide]

Make repeater recheaper

[unreal sedge]

double repeater's range

[thick current]

lmao did you get hacked

[vast badger]

That is in fact a hacked account

[eager hollow]

damn we lookin good

[brisk hearth]

how's the cheaters situation? They announced that they started ban waves for them, did you feel anything different?

[eager hollow]

i don't know if that had something to do with it cause we were playing with a guy below lvl100 so maybe lobbies were easier but yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks i felt like playing against real human beings

[sage nymph]

yeah it was said in the patch notes, 11 unique blue rarity weapons on perimiter and marsh

[sage nymph]

RRREEEAAAAL

its my sole reason for wanting to do ranked

[south pine]

why I climb up the ranked without playing rankged? is it cus I was killed by cheaters or smth?

[brisk hearth]

ur just that good

[candid yacht]

hairline is chopped tho 💔

[candid yacht]

same actually

[eager hollow]

fr ? And are you above lvl 100 ?

[candid yacht]

yes 101

[eager hollow]

oh ok great actually

[candid yacht]

then again I only played the dire marsh sponsored kit q

was so refreshing

[woeful parcel]

They could be trying out stuff behind the scenes in that que too

[torn hare]

I saw a reddit post with decent traction containing quite a few confirmations from people of cheaters in ranked getting banned, and ranked points getting refunded by the thousands

Seems like actual steps are being taken which is dope

[radiant gale]

I stopped getting

Ok hit the send button not the spacebar

I stopped getting killed when I went afk in a random area

So that's good

[earnest cosmos]

games felt really good today even the loses

[brisk hearth]

pretty nice then, might attempt ranked again soon then

I hope they improve their reporting system and hopefully also add a replay feature to the game

[woeful parcel]

Ye seen a lot of people report about it abd getting points refunded

[hearty kayak]

Arachne freekit with the LMG my beloved

These skins go so hard

[torn hare]

That's pretty awesome

[torn hare]

Absolutely same here, the patch was great

[whole vigil]

I've only got two shells left to get the skins for. It remembered that I had previously ex filled with an Arachne kit and gave me all of the skins that I was apparently deserving of

[woeful parcel]

Was a really nice call to let it be retroactive

[lean kindle]

everything was

you might’ve noticed when you logged in you were suddenly a few levels higher than you were before

like for factions

i’m almost positive they went back and since they updated the amount of reputation you get from side contracts, that it applied to every side contract that you did previously as well

[whole vigil]

Thought that was a really nice choice to be honest

[woeful parcel]

Das nice. Need to check my levels

[lean kindle]

yeah after the update I logged in and I had a bunch of rank update unlocks to collect. it wasn’t a ton but enough lol getting ever closer to my arachne capstone 4. wanna upgrade my rook runs lol

[woeful parcel]

Ye das a sick one. Got it a few weeks(?) ago. Makes you realize how bad you are at shotgunning and is awesome practice 😂

[wooden meadow]

My rank points went up 70k

cluster payload is extremely mid, other legendary feels bugged

[tranquil harness]

The early warning system? I presume it just gives the noti in the bottom left like when someone pings you but I haven't used it yet

I've also got the hunter/killer one and that seems alright on paper

[little mirage]

ran it like 5 raids recently, didnt see 1 popup/notification.

tbh the only 'must run' for me is echo chamber

interrogation is hard to source

echo seems insanely common from seki vip rewards

Oh damn
I know the Strider gold mod was bugged so maybe it's similar?

maybe

which vaults have which guns again?

[brisk hearth]

1 is brrt

(dunno the rest)

[grand magnet]

Man I love seeing all those positive reactions to the new Experimental Queue. The negatives have good arguments too. A bit more work and the base game could really benefit from it

[lyric trail]

Im having way more engaging fights in the free kit queue, which makes me feel complicated, like should the game just be a br?

[brisk hearth]

br is funnier for pure pvp fights and "launch and forget" sessions

it's less engaging long term tho

I'd personally hate it

[lyric trail]

Im not really sure, I tried running a few regular dire marsh matches afterwards and just got instantly killed by squads with purple shields spamming grenades (my employed friends and I arent that far yet)

Like we can access blues but still feel like we just cant compete well in regular queue anymore

[brisk hearth]

ah I see

I think it's generally fine in these types of games since you just need one good session to snowball your wipe. It was more steep in Tarkov on that aspect since you needed to farm quests to unlock ammo to buy for the high tier loot you got this way

[lyric trail]

Free kit queue felt like we had a fighting chance to actually complete objectives and map events without a 90% chance of getting taken out by a roaming kill squad without a real goal

I actually had less of a problen in tarkov

[brisk hearth]

but yeah it must be definitely better to do quests

[lyric trail]

I can still kill a chad with a well placed toz shot

This game has no equivalent

[brisk hearth]

fair, but using his guns would be pretty hard. The only stopper in marathon is the somewhat long TTKs

[grand magnet]

it could get boring quick, but I feel like there's a middle ground that can be worth trying

[lyric trail]

One of my friends said maybe every map should just have a daily rotating event, like duo only, free kit only, gear value threshold, gear value ceiling, etc

Im out of rerolls

[cyan nest]

[dusty cairn]

oh, no idea

[oak tide]

Where do you find purple salvage in-map

Generally

[cyan nest]

But fr tho teamates killing runners counts towards ur progress

[oak tide]

my autofills are dire 🙁

[twilit verge]

They nerfed the sell price

1.5k base

Of the outland

[drowsy basin]

damn it, i wanted the sell price revert to be true so bad

what did they do to my boy

[twilit verge]

Anything that generally rewards higher tier loot you'll usually find it

Only real spots that'll almost confirm superior salvage are superior+ key rooms, lockdowns and pinwheel

Maybe convoys, have little experience

[drowsy basin]

to be fair i only had fun using it in dire marsh pre-nerf -- im glad the nerfs happened, aint no way snipers and thermals basically made 1 out of 4 marathon maps unfun for the mass majority of the player population

[woeful parcel]

Is it one run or without dying?

Afaik without dying keeps progress if yoy exfil

[pure prairie]

I thought the Arachne 9 kill quest wasn't in one run or without dying?

Unless I'm mixing up the Prio contract with something else

[arctic topaz]

😢 I just wanted to extract with my free kit so I didn't even try to fight the guy that shot me at exfil, was trying to be friendly. Why am I so fucking dumb, killed 2 other runners before that but tried to be nice at the end ... someone come slap me through my monitor please

[ancient swallow]

The funny part is that you think me having the ability to be kind to others and use reasoning in individual moments to determine when I should or should not trust someone, or should or should not kill them, automatically translates to a lack of game/combat skill or "toughness" of any kind.

But that just doesn't make sense. I can go on planetunof deathless runs, and solo runs while working together with others. I even have clips of it.

But you think being a dickhead makes you cool and tough and that gatekeeping with this "hard" mentality makes you better than people who choose to play another looter shooter game (one I've never even touched btw).

The only thing that's evident is that you need a hug buddy. Cause apparently you need that this in your life to sleep at night.

Im incapable of not accepting them as a friend

[queen raven]

This is the way

That way they can’t gank you

[arctic topaz]

damn bro at least just murder them properly, don't stab them in the back after you befriend them that's messed up.

[woeful parcel]

Saw a vid of a rook using a mercy kit on another rook like 4 times and downing him in between each time. Funny shit

@arctic topaz my implication is I didnt make a move to show I was friendly

Many rooks just crouch spam at you

And then turn around like some contract was made

[arctic topaz]

I mean that's fine if you're not crouch spamming back / implying you're friendly then backstabbing them - you gotta have some honor even if it is just a video game :p

[woeful parcel]

Aye.

Well

Sometimes

Just rewatched the trailer from 2 years ago. Not the first aerial shot we've seen, I wonder if those are WIP maps

[bold coyote]

[dusty cairn]

Could be but they have also changed the maps a ton since early access. Someone posted a picture of early access perimeter awhile ago and it looked night and day different.

[bold coyote]

probably scrapped since marathons art style was a tad different before ziegler took over

it was more bright colors and vibrant

now its dark and gloomy

[digital gate]

still pretty bright imo

[grand magnet]

still is tho

yeah

[bold coyote]

its still bright, but its a bit dimmed down with the more realistic lighting

watch the reveal video compared to their vidoc and the lighting is crazy bright

[grand magnet]

it's mainly the contrast, when I look at old alpha footage everything looks milky, grey blacks, low contrast

Cause he's the Marathon guy

[edgy kestrel]

new update gives so much loot

[grand magnet]

ult is a high kick

[edgy kestrel]

i mean none of the shells have a reproductive organs so

[bold coyote]

i think destroyer is about horizontal mobility while vandal is more vertical mobility

but i get what you mean

i only see people play vandal to get height advantage, but its very dependant on where you are at the moment

[digital gate]

once we get a more vertical map vandal will probably shine more

[edgy kestrel]

i mean i guess, but higher knife damage + barricade + missles is somewhat better than double jump + cannon + heat boost

idk why they have nerfed her signal jammer thing

[bold coyote]

true

[grand magnet]

Speaking of Vandal, her cannon shouldn't deal damage by default imo, you shouldn't need a core

[edgy kestrel]

yeah you can use thief instead, i only pla yvandal because she is cute otherwise i would be playing thief all the time

[digital gate]

that would be a good buff yeah

maybe make the core boost her further instead

[bold coyote]

thats exactly why i play thief as well

[karmic stream]

I just wanna be able to cancel my slide tbh

[pure prairie]

Like at all? So it's a rocket jumper without a core?

[edgy kestrel]

i think vandal is good for ranked, i see a lot of pros using her , her slide is good for pvp so i guess there is some use for ehr

[bold coyote]

vandals only unique trait is double jump which isnt always useful and arm cannon which i dont ever see utilized except in occasional fake twitch clips

[grand magnet]

I want to be able to cancel pretty much all animations where you're locked in honestly

[bold coyote]

i hate her slide i cant shoot when im sliding

[edgy kestrel]

it is good in pvp

[bold coyote]

its a self crutch

[edgy kestrel]

it is good for evading damage

[grand magnet]

Like earlier when using Recon, I couldn't do jack shit and got shot at freely while she was dialing her hand and walk slowly af

[edgy kestrel]

getting pushed by vandal is a nighmare

[digital gate]

I love playing Thief, Vandal, and Destroyer, but I play Triage begrudgingly so my team stays alive

[bold coyote]

i wanna slide into people and goblin knife

[grand magnet]

not great gameplay imo

[edgy kestrel]

i lget loose my shit when i get pushed by a good vandal player

[pure prairie]

The wavy line indicates sound is coming from that direction

[edgy kestrel]

what is the triage buff for volt weapons ?

[pure prairie]

Ignore that, it's to show someone what visual sound indicators look like

[edgy kestrel]

i have preestigue v11 mode

[digital gate]

yeah the emp bullets

but also shareware

[edgy kestrel]

i hate triage but i guess i will ned to sue hima tleast once when playing with gold v11 punch

the prestigue mode is kinda boring , charged shot auto aims on enemies and generates heat on them

so a decent upgrade over based v11 but nothing crazy

[waxen otter]

Nah, we survived. Didn't make it out, but didn't die to them 😅

[edgy kestrel]

so v85 circuit breaker gold mode got nerfed right ?

now it cant shoot through bubbles ? you ned a unique one ?

😭

What even is death if you have your conciousness chilling in the cyberarc land (also why can't I rewatch all the cool videos the game has, I should be able to easily rewatch all that shit if I want to - there's so much details in them you can't really pick out on first watch)

[arctic topaz]

The Arachne cult does have a fun point with the whole study of conciousness and what it means to even be "alive" (I'm going to go off and have an existential crisis now, )

[simple scarab]

first arms locker I open I get a grey Outland

yeah outpost is great

[pure prairie]

What are souls worth in the age of digital demons? Inflation hits the spiritual market hard

[arctic topaz]

I suspect souls are worth about the same as they are now. nothing.

[fallow tiger]

i need a squad fill to be GOLDEN to do sponsored kit lockdown

[arctic topaz]

(i'll try not to cut myself on the edge)

[pure prairie]

That is a fun thing to think about though. How would the 'old worlds' organized religions feel about consciousness being digitized and death being trivialized? That'll throw a spanner in a ton of ideologies beliefs 🤣

[solemn mica]

I got a weird idea
An item that lets a trio formally "adopt" a rook, enabling proper revives, disabling accidental friendly fire, but can be removed quickly too
As per recent CARRI, a rook gets 20 tokens for extracting with a trio, while the trio has no incentive to not just skin the rook
Mayhaps this could be an addition

[fallow tiger]

the squad fill wasn't that golden...

[flint crescent]

How tf is outpost so good

Idk what it is, I think the map design is incredible despite being much smaller

[edgy kestrel]

in what way ?

[scarlet yew]

We need bingus version of this

[flint crescent]

Everything is well organized and put in place, feels naturally progressive

Perimeter and Dire Marsh were more open ended

And some places didn’t felt as unique

But Outpost just feels like a whole cake full of surprises

[edgy kestrel]

I mean I guess but perimter is better ranked map I think, but overall outpost is the second ebst after cryo

[unreal sedge]

Never done lfg for cryo but I've got a 5 key so I probably will this weekend. Do people do like an exchange? All 3 people bring a key and you do 3 runs?

[upbeat perch]

i camp sniper on outpost im evil

most fun ive had in a game in a while

[flint crescent]

if i find you i will make your life miserable

(i would do the same shit)

[upbeat perch]

i had so many people try to come to my usual perch and i also bring a shotgun and you need to make noise to get up to me

i cant believe how reliable outland and wstr are

my actual favorite loadout

never exfiled so many times in a row with consistent kills

one of the destroyers that i almost killed self ressed and i gave him heals and recruited him

we then hunted down this fully loaded assassin

and i gave him basically all the pinwheel room loot the assassin took

when i outland 1 shotted him i said nice shot huh and he was like yeah man gg

and thats when my consciousness kicked in

i threw him heals off the edge of where i was above him and he picked it up and healed

the atmosphere of the game has changed in solos big time

actually really like it

mercy kits and more self revives is such a good move

[vivid panther]

I think the Outland probably clears the long shot pretty easily now.

that fire rate nerf makes it feel awkward.

[woeful parcel]

Yeah it really buffed outland

I already liked it before

And longshot getting that inaccuracy on quick follow ups too

[languid pewter]

Noooooooo

[granite tartan]

Sir I think you need to activate windows

[verbal sentinel]

lmao

[unreal sedge]

I haven't seen that watermark in years

[verbal sentinel]

i havent not seen it in years

[unreal sedge]

Apparently

[clever otter]

There are... ways around it but not sure if it's ok to talk about here

[winter oxide]

there is a cmd command you can use

to activate windows for free

[verbal sentinel]

oh i know and im more than capable of paying for it im just lazy and not bothered by it X.X

[winter oxide]

the things is, you dont gotta pay

[clever otter]

it got on my fucking nerves after a while so I just made it disappear with the CMD command

[clever otter]

you know the rituals...

[verbal sentinel]

im sure its just a quick google search away

[rough finch]

Just lost the biggest haul of my life watch me end it all on tau ceti tv

The team I was fighting was losing so they decide to dump an entire vault’s worth of grenades!

[signal linden]

Really took that sacred "thermodynamics" part seriously huh

[fallow tiger]

just askin

[granite tartan]

Lose everything factory strikes again

[fallow tiger]

where do you usually get anti-virus in dire marsh?

[graceful aspen]

Corpses

[signal linden]

Man I completely forgot today was Thursday and cryo was back

[granite tartan]

From my vault

[graceful aspen]

Also that

[fallow tiger]

bleh

[signal linden]

Bring it in, or find it sometimes on bots/various types of containers

[cyan nest]

@tacit light
Yea... ik its blurry, sorry bout that. But it funny tho.

[fallow tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/erm-aksuali-veli-vel-nerd-nerd-emoji-gif-11908435316515627035

[granite tartan]

I find AV more on random crates in perimeter than I do in DM

[graceful aspen]

Murder mountain, occasionally known as Ai uplink, should usually have one

[signal linden]

I hope this means that you are bringing this guy a bunch of AV kits.

[granite tartan]

I have 30 in my vault rn because whenever I bring it in it never spawns a lockdown

[graceful aspen]

[fallow tiger]

i have a contested quest for it

[torn hare]

lmao peak art

@tacit light Yo check the okBuddyRunner subreddit for more goodies

👀

[graceful aspen]

If you have a triage that quest should only need one tbh

[granite tartan]

Jokes on you the one in anomaly prevents lockdowns from spawning and gives literally nothing

[fallow tiger]

yes but need to find one bleh

[graceful aspen]

Nucal or Mida sells them

[granite tartan]

Buy them from mida

Is gantry a femboy irl

These are the questions that need answers, not whatever the fuck the anomaly is

[cyan nest]

I want nona to explain why she cant just become butterfly and do her own quest

[fallow tiger]

because she chonky

she needs to be in her cocoon while having violent joys watching you suffer

[fallow tiger]

i'm tryina do it on sponsored kit dire marsh, that's why, cus i ain't doing that shit on a squad fill on normal dire marsh

[graceful aspen]

Valid

[fallow tiger]

stoopid

someone put him in the J A R

[cyan nest]

Someones Exfiling

[torn hare]

LOL

[signal linden]

Hopefully that isn't final exfil

[cyan nest]

Watch the exfill kill him for no reason

[torn hare]

It is

[frosty thistle]

seeing final exfil pop across the map and getting nam flashbacks

[torn hare]

Outpost moment

I swear it always spawns directly opposite me on the map

[fallow tiger]

i hate squad fill

[frosty thistle]

then don’t do it

[static girder]

lookig for cryo carry willing topay

[frosty thistle]

simple as

[frosty thistle]

i always spawn opposite my objective no matter what too, my spawn luck is ass

[frosty thistle]

hey that’s me

[torn hare]

Part of me wonders whether Bungie put in an RNG chance to just straight up troll the player with the contract

It would be extremely funny

Like I legit spawned at maintenance 3x in a row attempting parasitism 5/5 solo 💀

[frosty thistle]

no but it happens even when my objective is in my own head, like i run outpost to farm unstable gel and ill always spawn opposite side of the map to the gel spawns

evil ass game

[torn hare]

evil ass game reads your mind, thanks Bungo 🥀

[frosty thistle]

classic bungie

[fallow tiger]

someone drop an anvil on their head

[frosty thistle]

woah woah woah

who me

[fallow tiger]

yes u

[torn hare]

Now one thing I do know for SURE that they're trolling with is the sheer deluge of rooks on outpost LOL

[frosty thistle]

no thanks, i’m a dumb girl already
