[vague violet]

Hate them

[flint crescent]

how long will the servers be down

[runic flicker]

the explosion range is huge, and u have like 1 second to react to it, if youre behind cover then youre fucked

[pastel harbor]

What’s the mips slug converter

[vague violet]

gold mod

[pastel harbor]

Grrr

[pastel harbor]

Does it… lemme guess, convert the rounds to slugs

[zealous wigeon]

They’ve been up for like half an hour now

[vague violet]

So address the underlying problem of them being unreactable and make them more legible

I have never died to grenades

[pastel harbor]

Oh also

I feel like

[vague violet]

aside from like a singular incident lol

[pastel harbor]

Claymores and explosions shouldn’t be able to hit u from behind walls

😭

[vague violet]

just break the w key instinct

[nocturne abyss]

fireball

[vague violet]

fireball

fireball

fireball

[pastel harbor]

FIREBALL

[vague violet]

I love that clip lol

[pastel harbor]

Me tossing the fifth heat grenade at the enemy team

Combo that with emp

They can’t do shit

[vague violet]

but like even in that clip the guy went down to a shotgun insta for overpusing

and the guy getting fireballed was alone

this is a team game yall

[pastel harbor]

Lol

[vague violet]

it’s really fucking annoying when battle royale players are chirping about how the extraction shooter should be balanced

[pastel harbor]

It’s not hard to find good players in mm, I’ve found

Like

[wet sequoia]

If in doubt just check bungie.net they post all the updates there

[pastel harbor]

I’ve legit had multiple teams that i played with from freekit move with me to outpost and we win lmao

[vague violet]

the lobby wipe I pulled off on free kit me and my duo completely carried and the random just got to loot the entire round

[pastel harbor]

Fr

Like

People saying the randoms suck

The only time that’s probably true is like

Perimeter

Cus it’s a beginner map

[vague violet]

idk randoms can suck but that’s not something you can control

but what you can is how well you play around them

[unreal sedge]

Honestly weird that shotguns have headshot multiplier at all

[vague violet]

not weird

you should be rewarded for Aiming, Actually

[unreal sedge]

You still are

More pellets on target

Requires aim still

[vague violet]

I think 2 shells to the face should do more damage than 2 to center mass, actually

probably should be more forgiving at range falloff if you do vs don’t headshot someone with a shotgun

[unreal sedge]

Lotta games, probably including MTN now that will do less

[queen raven]

glorp is hilarious

[unreal sedge]

Since half your pellets are missing

[vague violet]

🤷‍♂️

[pastel harbor]

Not weird

It’s how it’s been since forever

[vague violet]

it rewards cross hair placement

yeah you’re obviously not going for a full headshot

but you’re aiming higher

[unreal sedge]

Center mass is still crosshair placement...

[nocturne abyss]

you say that, but all of my friends that have been shot in the face have survived, all the ones shot center mass have not
-# I wish this was a joke

[vague violet]

this guy would’ve loved gutshot straight in Destiny

[pastel harbor]

^

[unreal sedge]

Never played destiny

[pastel harbor]

Fucked up

That’s fucked up

[unreal sedge]

Also this ain't destiny

[vague violet]

no, really?

I couldn’t tell

[unreal sedge]

Apparently not y'all keep bringing it up like it's relevant 😂

[vague violet]

let’s put on our thinking caps for why that may be

[pastel harbor]

🤔

Maybe because

Ummm

The same studio?

[vague violet]

nah. No way.

[pastel harbor]

Yeah no shot

That’s not possible

Dawg so many of the guns shoot exactly like a destiny gun it’s kinda wild

The repeater keeps making me want to go cowboy hipfire mode

Cus of dmt

[vague violet]

Repeater gold mod is bar for bar DMT

circuit breaker is acrius

stryder is mida multitool

and in lore is actually from MIDA MIDA, it came through a temporal wormhole

ce gold mod is rat king

m77 is spiritually suros regime with the exotic trait

[unreal sedge]

Treyarch also made some spider man games, must be relevant to cod

[vague violet]

Longshot’s Kingmaker is a rapid hit sniper

[vague violet]

are you being obtuse on purpose

[unreal sedge]

Y'all are😅
Same studio doesn't mean much at all. They are different games in different genres likely completely different teams. There may not even be any of the same devs

Drawing parallels can be interesting but 'this works that way because it did in destiny' is silly

[vague violet]

lol

[nocturne abyss]

except it is the same devs as destiny (and many also worked on halo). from the same studio, on the same engine, in the same genre.

[vague violet]

thief’s grapple is identical to strand grapple in Destiny 2

[nocturne abyss]

better comparison would be Marathon and Oni if you're going on that angle🤷

[unreal sedge]

Mmofps = extraction fps🤔🤔

[vague violet]

wait what’s the last 3 letters of both of those 🤔

let’s put on our thinking caps

[nocturne abyss]

I don't think I worded this right either. English is hard

[unreal sedge]

Seemed fine

[vague violet]

every single Destiny veteran I know that tried marathon is good or above average at it

[unreal sedge]

I could say the same for any fps vet...

[vague violet]

ninja room

[balmy cairn]

we cant actually be trying to argue that marathon and destiny are not extremely similar, right?

[simple scarab]

ts almost costed me a run

[nocturne abyss]

I'm a fairly good Destiny player (I like to think I am at least. Flawless Pantheon counts for something right?)
I am not a good Marathon player.

[vague violet]

evidently that’s what he’s arguing

[simple scarab]

in Pinwheel

claymore posed up right behind a door from a rook

[vague violet]

pvp

[unreal sedge]

I'm not saying they aren't similar, wouldn't be able to tell you that. Just that drawing conclusions from destiny to marathon doesn't make sense

[vague violet]

and some of the highest pve achievers are also very very good at marathon

snazzy bog The Italian

[simple scarab]

tbh the Marathon pvp feels more like trials bc you gotta pay attention to your positioning even more than regular queue

[nocturne abyss]

Destiny PVP frustrates me. I usually avoid it like the plague, and go back to halo for that kinda exp 😅

[simple scarab]

think of it as a standalone trials of osiris game but hero extraction shooter

minus the flying cheaters

[vague violet]

it’s basically trials mid dungeon

[simple scarab]

and sparrow-launching guns

[vague violet]

there’s still cheaters they’re just not flying lol

[simple scarab]

I'm pretty okay at D2 pvp in general, which makes me Okay in Marathon

[vague violet]

right the gunfeel translates

[balmy cairn]

It doesn’t make sense to you because you haven’t played destiny. Just because you don’t have the experience to connect the two doesn’t make it not make sense

[vague violet]

I think arguing that there’s no correlation is Very Stupid actually

literally telling us confidently that we’re wrong with no experience lol

[simple scarab]

only thing I do not understand is why the BR gets outgunned by an overrun

or maybe my hitreg is ass but i feel the br is underwhelming

[vague violet]

the bully is literally like if Shay’s and immortal had a baby, shits disgusting

[unreal sedge]

It's a different game, in a different genre, that has different needs. Why would conclusions from destiny matter?

[vague violet]

BR needs stability mods to be on the level of d2 bxr

[vague violet]

gotta be ragebait

[unreal sedge]

Not at all

I could make the same parallels with completely unrelated games

[vague violet]

I’d prefer it if it was ragebait

yes but the argument is that they’re not unrelated at all

[simple scarab]

it IS different games but it is BOTH fps games with similar gunplay. You WILL find similarities in positioning whether you rock a BR in D2 or Marathon

[nocturne abyss]

Because it's a Bungie shooter that plays like a Bungie shooter and they've already started falling back into their same old habits from the last game

[vague violet]

you just have no idea what you’re talking about

[spiral parrot]

shooter skills-> another shooter
seems pretty obvious

[balmy cairn]

All of this is stemming from a joke about gutshot straight, right?

[vague violet]

yeah

my bad yall

that’s on me

[unreal sedge]

Well a larger discussion about shotguns having headshot multiplier

[nocturne abyss]

I don't even know anymore. it's 9am and i'm too 🌿 to keep track of this 😂

[simple scarab]

The WSTR rebuff might just be enough to two tap punch blue shields

[spiral parrot]

I'm Diring my Marsh rn I got contracts man I'm an Arachne agent for real

[simple scarab]

also a cryo kit/week is making the map more accessible to players and that's a really cool change

[vague violet]

Not far enough imo

[spiral parrot]

agreed

[vague violet]

should’ve been one a day per cryo day minimum

and if you haven’t extracted from cryo yet, infinite purchase until you do

[simple scarab]

yeah I think it's a one use only

for the week

well for the cryo uptime

[vague violet]

only usable in cryo ofc

[simple scarab]

nadespam is unfortunately not being addressed too

[tulip peak]

Would be nice if you could get like 2 a day would give players at least the chance to learn map without feeling like they need to invest too much

[vague violet]

I said infinity until you’ve extracted

[tulip peak]

Soon hopefully

[vague violet]

yall nade spam is literally this

[balmy cairn]

It’s pretty easy to not die to nade spam if you think about your position a little bit i won’t lie

[simple scarab]

nadespam is unfortunately the most unfun meta there was since release

[tulip peak]

Tbh normal nades being able to 2 shot basically anyone is a bit 🤏 OP

[vague violet]

it’s not a meta

stop fucking pushing into them

[simple scarab]

in close quarters like cryo archive and some key rooms it's genuinely a tight win

[tulip peak]

Other nades doesn’t bother me as much

[upbeat hamlet]

lol chem nades my beloved

[vague violet]

I saw the same clips you guys did

[upbeat hamlet]

and heat

[balmy cairn]

I think all of the nades are decently balanced right now

[vague violet]

Mfers be fighting in a corridor 10 feet long and NOT LEAVING

BACK THE FUCK AWAY???

[tulip peak]

Brother the green frag nades are not

[balmy cairn]

green frags are fine

[simple scarab]

"backing away"

The humble looking up 45 degrees to throw further:

[vague violet]

“Yeah let’s just all die together in this corridor fuck it I don’t care about my loadout”

[tulip peak]

They do 130 dmg a pop iirc

[vague violet]

If it bounces it instantly loses velocity 👍

basic physics dude

[pure prairie]

No guts no glory, everyone in the grenade corridor!

[balmy cairn]

also you’re not throwing a nade at 45 in cryo which is where most people are complaining about nade spam

[tulip peak]

Look I have n issue with nades outside of Cryo

[vague violet]

this entire thing is so funny bc I pioneered nadespam over a month ago and I already know how to counter it

[tulip peak]

Cryo is only corridors

[vague violet]

but it works because people just refuse to let go of W

stop fucking pushing!!!!!!

[balmy cairn]

it’s also veeerrry easy to back up a hallway and watch the enemy team blow all their nades on nothing

[tulip peak]

Sorry my W button is sticky

[simple scarab]

what's funny is people straight up nade dumping a key room entrance of chem nades and heat nades

[vague violet]

yo isn’t it crazy that if you just back away they blow their entire load and now you have resource advantage?

[tulip peak]

Will be trying dis

[simple scarab]

like i've seen 20+ nade throws in less than 30 seconds

[balmy cairn]

did it last cryo and my blue shield team smoked full gold team because they wasted every nade on an empty doorway after we peeked it and backed up

[tulip peak]

Also bubble nade does counter the other nades kinda

[vague violet]

bubble is its own problem

[balmy cairn]

I don’t hate bubble quite as much after the nerfs

[vague violet]

but if you see a bubble come down your response should be to just wait it the fuck out

genuinely hysterical to me I have to say any of this

[tulip peak]

I mean they take like 2 mags to break

[vague violet]

the discourse has become this bad

[simple scarab]

sometimes your knife won't finish the DBNO guys because it will genuinely hitreg on the bubble even though you're targeting the guy

[vague violet]

wait or shoot yes

[balmy cairn]

If I see a bubble and my team has positioning advantage or we know the other team is split you just blow that mf down immediately

[vague violet]

pretty much

they’re not Invisible anymore

[simple scarab]

I saw someone drop claymores in and then dip straight at the edge of the bubble

0 damage

[balmy cairn]

or if it’s on a corner and you can get inside it just start slinging nades around

[tulip peak]

Like bubbles are way better spot now tbh

[simple scarab]

wiped an entire team with only claymores

[balmy cairn]

flechettes are also great to throw in your own bubble to prevent people from pushing it

[vague violet]

the hitreg on bubbles are very fucking weird but literally nothing is stopping you from just popping that mf esp post nerf

[simple scarab]

i'm ngl i've been hit with flechette nades through a door

so idk how to feel abt that one

somehow when they burst out they phase through????

[balmy cairn]

i do wish the flechettes didn’t follow you for QUITE as long

[tulip peak]

Flechettes are the best zoning nade imo

[vague violet]

You can shoot them

[simple scarab]

literally 50m+ they follow you STILL

[balmy cairn]

but they’re a great area denial tool that you can throw down faster than a claymore

[vague violet]

you can shoot flechettes

[simple scarab]

and they hurt tons

[vague violet]

even without them tracking on you

[tulip peak]

Really I saw a post that said you can’t

[vague violet]

you. Can. Shoot. Flechettes.

[vague violet]

bad aim

[tulip peak]

Guess that was a fkn lie

[vague violet]

I promise you you can

[simple scarab]

yeah it's like that one hunter nade in d2 you can somehow shoot them

[tulip peak]

Gonna try tonight

[simple scarab]

but only when they're idle

[vague violet]

no

[simple scarab]

(in d2)

[vague violet]

you can shoot them when they’re tracking you too

oh Ye

[simple scarab]

yeah in d2 once they're locked they're no more physical

[tulip peak]

Also wstr shotgun is so back

[vague violet]

just press S man half the problems in this game are solved by it

[tulip peak]

At least if you combo with melee finisher

[balmy cairn]

so real

[simple scarab]

also behemoth still ass in d2

melee hitreg dookie

[balmy cairn]

you will win way more fights if you press S and think about it when you’re at a stalemate or getting naded

[tulip peak]

Apex players hate him for this one trick

[simple scarab]

bruh I rememeber early apex

two tapping with the wingman

[vague violet]

I’ve pulled off like multiple back to back lobby wipes on free kit frenzy

[simple scarab]

quite LITERALLY the strongest heavy round weapon

[vague violet]

shit is not complicated

[craggy pawn]

flechettes are really good for zoning yeah

[vague violet]

I don’t have to be a good shot (it helps)

but you’re supposed to win the fight before it starts

with positioning

[craggy pawn]

I was in an outpost run the other day with some friends, we were in pinwheel and somebody was opening the flight control door

and the moment it opened we snet like 6 flechettes at them

zoned them all the way out of the hall

[simple scarab]

yk what i'd fucking love in this game? bait nades

[vague violet]

they’re called trap packs

[craggy pawn]

real

[vague violet]

and they blow up when shoot them

[simple scarab]

no i mean a grenade that simulates shots when thrown

[craggy pawn]

we have that

it's called your gun

[vague violet]

The humble Ornithologist

[tulip peak]

Also when you made them

Nade*

[vague violet]

that too

[simple scarab]

isn't it bird sounds

but same shit

[vague violet]

only when you shoot something on impact

[unreal sedge]

Decoys are an interesting novelty but they really don't get any play in the games that I've played and have them. It's just not worth the slot

[simple scarab]

silly ass weapon mod tho

[craggy pawn]

I have genuinely never used ornithologist I can't tell if it's good or not

[vague violet]

It’s not

[craggy pawn]

mosstly because I'd rather use other mods

[tulip peak]

Tbh I wanna make a bloody chain of them and basically bait someone into the corridor

[craggy pawn]

stack overflow, bits per second and shit

[simple scarab]

what if they add the "fuck you" grenade that crashes your game

[vague violet]

If it was something you could do passively like mini jammer it’d be p good for baiting imo

[simple scarab]

signal jammer-man

[tulip peak]

Pixel grenade

Just overloads frames

Better pc wins

[simple scarab]

the "oh fuck my pc" grenade

i'm 11 levels away from 100

how the fuck do I speedrun that besides prio contracts

[opal bloom]

when new skins? 😏

https://tenor.com/view/its-like-a-drug-to-me-edward-cullen-robert-pattinson-twilight-obsessed-gif-18229981

[unreal sedge]

Apparently the contracts really don't do much for it. PVP and PVE kills are the fastest from what I've read

[simple scarab]

so just queue in and kill shit

[unreal sedge]

Yeh

[simple scarab]

free kit darsh might be the move

[unreal sedge]

Your whole team gets experienced too, so if you're playing solos, that's going to make it slower

[craggy pawn]

sponsored queue is in fact goated

[vague violet]

sponsored queue is where the boys turn into men

[unreal sedge]

No time gotta grind rank

[simple scarab]

finding an outland in sponsored queue feels great

[vague violet]

no gear disparity whatsoever

[simple scarab]

finding an outland on MAINTENANCE however

I got 8 kills once and was so mad because the last guy exfiled and I couldn't get my challenge done

zonewarden my beloved please

[pastel harbor]

Same

[vague violet]

got mine on a free kit outpost run

as a tactics player recon is fucking disgusting

[pastel harbor]

Rip

[pastel harbor]

I should try recon

I’m sure i can do well with her

[simple scarab]

I also got shadow index for her

she's my beloved

[pastel harbor]

One of the runs i had on dire we won a fight cus i stayed on the roof as invis assassin

[simple scarab]

I love giving intel

[pastel harbor]

W tactics

Cus i had uhh

I had the hardline pr

So i could shoot very far

[simple scarab]

i almost did it on the sekiguchi kit

[pastel harbor]

Damn

[vague violet]

Im only missing 3 kills during 1 ult which im positive ive done before but apparently you need to do it yourself

[pastel harbor]

3 kills during?

Oh recon

[vague violet]

yeah

I think it has to be you eliminating 3

[wise jackal]

Going for assassins triple but I’m a stupid chud and can’t do it

Spent like 80 nades camping exfils like a bum and still 😭

[lyric panther]

Rook cant do intercept, why?

[zinc mason]

why this look so weird

[pure prairie]

the numbers aren't height centered

I will never be able to unsee that

The currency symbol is, the numbers are not. whyyyyyyyy

[acoustic shard]

Man I hope we eventually get sponsored kit playlist for other maps, gonna be bummed if the only experiment was for dire marsh

[vague violet]

Sponsored outpost should not happen imo

and I’m saying this as someone who’s good at free kit frenzy

I shouldn’t be allowed to farm pinnacle room effortlessly

[zinc mason]

I think we need to add the same restrictions that apply to Cryoarchive to all other maps

[acoustic shard]

I think for the end of the season, shit doesn't really matter, since everything is resetting soon anyway lmao

[acoustic shard]

This would be nice

[zinc mason]

maybe perimetr 0, dire 2-3k, outpost 3-5k and raize for cryo a little bit

[balmy cairn]

we do not need antes for every map

[craggy pawn]

yeah that's uneeded

[pure prairie]

I don't think we have the player count to swing that

[acoustic shard]

Definitely not lol

[balmy cairn]

even if we had 100k I still wouldn’t want antes for every map

[craggy pawn]

it's also bad for progression, since DM has a bunch of important early game resources and putting an ante on that is going to just end with people hardstuck early on if they get unlucky and can't get the mats for the barter trades

[zinc mason]

No matter how many players are in the game, I sometimes don't feel any sense of competition when I run into 4 or 5 free kit runners at an outpost.

[craggy pawn]

or even just the upgrades to buy gear

[balmy cairn]

seems like a you problem

[pure prairie]

It also sends a very strange message if you're telling bad players (Who want to improve at the game) that they can only experience 25% of the content

[craggy pawn]

yeah exactly

[pure prairie]

Possibly less because of the lack of events or other tangible objectives on perimeter.

[balmy cairn]

if i ran into 2 teams of free kits on outpost Im rushing pinwheel immediately because I know its nearly free

[craggy pawn]

exactly

[balmy cairn]

take the win and go next

[zinc mason]

You sound like 5k is impossible

[balmy cairn]

also, free kits can totally smoke you no matter the shield if you play poorly.

[craggy pawn]

free pinnacle room and command wing

yeah

[balmy cairn]

many casuals in this server have complained endlessly about the end game map having a 5k ante

[unreal sedge]

I'd say yes for outpost but not the rest

I get more free kit randos on outpost than perimeter atp

[craggy pawn]

I'm maybe on outpost but I definitely don't think dire marsh should have an ante

[balmy cairn]

no ante for any map unless it’s an end game map

if you run into free kit enemies take the win

[unreal sedge]

Outpost is an endgame map lol

[craggy pawn]

eh

[lyric trail]

5k is literally wtsr (mandatory anyway) + bot killing gun, shield and backpack

[balmy cairn]

not really no

[craggy pawn]

it's a lategame map for sure

but not the endgame

[acoustic shard]

It opens at level 12... lol

[unreal sedge]

And freekit allies?

[lyric trail]

Outpost is marathon

Its the game defining map

[unreal sedge]

And you shouldn't do it at level 12 lol

[lyric trail]

Yes you absolutely should

[zinc mason]

its litteraly nothing))))

[balmy cairn]

carry them, play slower around the map and leave, or queue with a friend or two

[craggy pawn]

yeah you don't need to push pinwheel with 2 free kit fills lmao

[unreal sedge]

They always do though😅 they grab 2 greens and push it asap

[pastel harbor]

this is true

[lyric trail]

Ive said it before but just bring two extra blue shields to counter the freeshitters

[balmy cairn]

most people free kitting are seemingly not worth the 2k to drop a shield to as they will die to the first enemy you run into anyways

[lyric trail]

They will not if they have more health

[balmy cairn]

they certainly will

[pastel harbor]

FAAH

[balmy cairn]

blue shield is like a couple extra shots landing

[zinc mason]

For example
I don't have friends to play, and every time I played solo outpost I skinned 2-3 free kit assassins who were trying to find conveyance to get free loot from the pinwheel
Thats not interesting)))

[lyric trail]

Ive done this many times and its more than doubled my exfil rate

[pastel harbor]

the servers still ain't open

[acoustic shard]

The amount of health between shields is less than you think

[lyric trail]

Wrong

[balmy cairn]

you problem

[lyric trail]

I know exactly how much it is

[acoustic shard]

k lol

[lyric trail]

People play differently with shields

[vague violet]

This is so dangerously based

your smoke too different

your swag too tough

they’ll kill yiu schoolheist

[pastel harbor]

lfc with randoms

[zinc mason]

You have another opinion or you can only say you problem?

[vague violet]

well he’s not wrong

make some friends or lfc

[pastel harbor]

^^

[pure prairie]

🤣

[vague violet]

plus my lobby wipe from earlier on free kit was with a random

I had a duo

[balmy cairn]

You don’t want to lfg or make friends or play fills or kill free kits

[vague violet]

just be better

[craggy pawn]

lfg channels are full of horrors but sometimes one must peep the horrors

[balmy cairn]

How is that anyone else’s problem

[vague violet]

you live in a prison of your own making

[lyric trail]

Is free kit queue gone?

[vague violet]

I mean I’ve extracted from archive with crew fill ppl are just too negative. Be positive. Randoms might surprise you. You might surprise yourself.

[balmy cairn]

Just run cheap kits in fills for a couple hours and eventually you’ll find one or two people that are decent enough to add and play with

shit is not hard

[vague violet]

I believe so, today yeah

[craggy pawn]

oh yeah 100%

[lyric trail]

Sad

[craggy pawn]

it's not lost until you're dead

[vague violet]

idk free kit frenzy was fun but it’s also sort of a solved equation to me

[lyric trail]

That filtered the majority of people who wont risk gear

[craggy pawn]

it's always clutchable

[balmy cairn]

i filled cryo last friday and we wiped the lobby like 10 in a row and hit vaults every run man there are good players in fill

[lyric trail]

I just want it as a containment zone

[zinc mason]

I didn't say it was someone else's problem, don't twist my words.

[craggy pawn]

thank god I got my horrible sekgen contracts already done at least

I do still have to scrape up like 9 levels with them through standard contracts and coping but so it goes

[zinc mason]

What I'm trying to say is that if they add value-based restrictions like in Cryo, the game will become just a little bit more interesting.

[vague violet]

Yeah I’m an okay player and I fill a lot lol

[lyric trail]

Yeah they should put value caps and ranges on other maps totally agree

[vague violet]

lmao

[zinc mason]

I'm not talking about any major restrictions—at the very least, if there aren't any free kits at the outpost, things will already be a little more interesting

[balmy cairn]

The issue is, free kitting and doing zero to hero IS already interesting

[pure prairie]

Isn't that the point of ranked though? You will face juicers and get the juice?

[balmy cairn]

free kits are a large part of the game for better or worse

[lyric trail]

For worse for sure

Lets do something about it that doesnt involve me burning 4k to get a better exfil chance

[balmy cairn]

disagree

most of the anger of free kits seems to come from queueing fill with a kit and getting free teammates

[lyric trail]

Yes

Changing that would be doing something about it

[balmy cairn]

if anything put loose gear based matchmaking for the team you fill into only

[vague violet]

I don’t need a kit to smoke people. The issue was never free kits. The issue is people thinking they’re entitled to anything at all in an extraction shooter.

[mental gyro]

The only fix they need is gear based matchmaking

[balmy cairn]

like within 1-2k value

gear based for the whole lobby would suck ass bad

gear based for only your team is fine

[vague violet]

I’m gonna cut this off rn we don’t need to be stratifying mm more than it already is

[lyric trail]

I mean I think the issue is how free kits encourage you to run headfirst into danger because dying fast gives you another shot at trying again

Its a bad behaviour influencer

[zinc mason]

The problem with most players is that they’re too attached to every single blue item they own, which is exactly why it would be a good idea to add some basic restrictions so people stop being afraid to play and lose items, giving them an incentive to equip better gear. Instead of running for a free kit and then bragging at school about how they found a blue shield in a locked room without even participating in a single firefight.

[vague violet]

so play as aggressive as them?

[candid goblet]

I ran into a pair of triage players in solo that gave me a med drone as a gesture of peace

[balmy cairn]

What was the games slogan?

[mental gyro]

its better than "aggresion based matchmaking" lol

[lyric trail]

Oh stop pretending like you dont know what I mean

[zinc mason]

Skin every assaniss

[vague violet]

major spelling mistake

[pure prairie]

From experience: You do not want gear based match making.

Dark and Darker played around with gear based matchmaking for years. It turned into "Who can make the strongest build for each bracket without going to the next bracket so they can smack timmy and tommy who have no clue what they're doing" in every bracket.

[lyric trail]

Playing agressive and playing carelessly are two completely different things

[vague violet]

for sure but what’s wrong with connection based mm

Mr latency

[balmy cairn]

I think the current matchmaking is fine but I wouldn’t mind at least having some green shields on my team instead of frees all the time

[vague violet]

Sure. But you’re the decider with gear. Tell them what to do. Take charge. I do all the time. You are the master of your own fate.

[lyric trail]

This is literally what I do, Ive posted it here

[balmy cairn]

however, I don’t want free kits removed or any antes on maps aside from cryo

[zinc mason]

Thats what im talking about

[lyric trail]

I bring gear for them so they slow down a bit

[balmy cairn]

antes on every map will not be a healthy way to do it

[pastel harbor]

yeah fr

[zinc mason]

For casual players, this won't be much of a deal

[pastel harbor]

oh shit marton update

[zinc mason]

But how many casual players are left in the game? It seems to me that the casual players quit the game after a week or two.

[pastel harbor]

dawg how many people have sent this exact stuff here lmao

[vague violet]

UESC infestation

[balmy cairn]

theres still a lot of casuals on the game

[pastel harbor]

true

[pastel harbor]

there are quite a lot

[vague violet]

I’m still punting chudlings into the sun.

even if you co-sign everything I say

[balmy cairn]

Every time I play fill I’d say 60% or more of the people I encounter are casual duos based off their gameplay alone

[vague violet]

I ran into a cheater on fill I think, my ass got blasted at flight control from destroyed wing with a retaliator

[pastel harbor]

😔 not my beautiful chudling

[vague violet]

didn’t even know the range on that mf was that high

[vague violet]

RIGHT into the sun

[zinc mason]

It's really sad to hear that, I'm starting to miss the old Tarkov

[candid flame]

Yooooo chat I had an Idead

What if they let you put stickers on your shells too?

[acoustic shard]

The other day I got domed through a gap in scaffolding while running on outpost from a team basically across the entire map. lmao

[vague violet]

its rare but still a little annoying yeah

[pastel harbor]

that's weird

retaliator?

wait which gun was that

[pastel harbor]

noooo 😢

[acoustic shard]

Railgun

[pastel harbor]

only for rook

[vague violet]

Retailiator is the light ammo machine gun lol

[zinc mason]

We need new skins for rook

[balmy cairn]

retaliator is lmg

[vague violet]

we should skin all rooks

[pastel harbor]

oh the uh that

[lyric trail]

Rooks are for friends

We literally killed a rook mid exfil

[lyric trail]

You all miss out on this with your traitor behaviour

[vague violet]

#DeathToAllRooks

[pastel harbor]

yeah we killed one on final exfil it was diabolical

[vague violet]

It wasn’t even on final

and I didnt even loot him

[lyric trail]

Scum like you are why I put claymores on the spinning part of final exfil and then smoke it

[vague violet]

I’ve died to enough rooks to not trust them

Rooks aren’t “people”

[unreal sedge]

I get not trusting them

I don't get the bloodthirst some teams have😅

[tacit light]

https://discord.com/channels/1303855380845301861/1498730077318414486

[unreal sedge]

I've had multiple teams nadespam me as a single rook😅

[candid goblet]

I'm a casual player :)

[unreal sedge]

I have nothing worth that kind of investment

[acoustic shard]

Ive only had one cool story with rooks, me and a fill team heard one in a vent, killed him, then went back to looting, as we leave drone wing, we hear someone go "Can we just... take what you didn't loot from each wing" we go "uhhhh.. sure, just let us come out first" So we leave through the top, they go into the bottom, and we did each wing, and command, they basically stood guard at each wing while we looted lmao. Then came across a couple trigger happy rooks, and those 2 started fighting the other rooks, then we all extracted together.

Every other time Ive seen rooks, it's just KoS

[candid goblet]

I once ran across another rook in a run who showed me how to get through command wing :)

[vivid panther]

okay so this update means what for the WSTR? back to 2 shotting blue shields?

[lyric trail]

Lots of rooks try to coach me on how to get through pinwheel once they hear me talk

[split grove]

wstr buff 🙏

[split grove]

think so

[candid goblet]

and had another outpost game where we fought like 2 teams and then extracted with like half the lobby at final exfil

[split grove]

cuz in the short they posted they showed off the WSTR 2 tapping blue shields

[lyric trail]

Thats cool

[split grove]

[vivid panther]

I can get with this being a middle ground but still think a little ROF nerf could be good.

[lyric trail]

I didnt play the week of the initial nerf, was the change that bad?

[vivid panther]

I mean

stack overflow still dropped people.

but the base WSTR without it didn’t feel very good as an initiator.

[frozen nest]

It felt terrible! shooting a green shield at 2M and not downing them just to be knifed is not a great feeling.

[pastel harbor]

damn my freekit perimeter run just ended cus a sniper shot me from like 70 meters away

rip

lmao

i killed one of their teammates too

sad shit

[split grove]

oh yeah. that looks quite nice.

[next nimbus]

There's other prestige shields besides reinforced v2? What's that first one?

[split grove]

spectre armor, just like purple armor except when your shields are depleted, you go invisible

[next nimbus]

Oh, neat! I didn't know that was in the actual game. I thought it was just something left in the files

Never seen one before

Where'd you end up snagging that?

[split grove]

other players :3

and command + red outpost room. also keyrooms i guess

grrrrrr.... traxus...........

[next nimbus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1480043609079287838/1482060473120587787/giphy.gif

Hell yeag. Hope to find one in my travels

[lyric trail]

Its shouldnt be an initiator

It should be a closer

[split grove]

i don't think shotguns should be "closers" in general. they should be the best weapon to use in very-close quarters

[zealous wigeon]

I’ve been selling my daily wstrs from Arachne since the nerf

It was a nice passive income

Maybe i’ll try it today

[unreal sedge]

Yeah, sucker punch worked fine for me too, dropped blues and purples with two taps and a punch

[lyric trail]

I think a double barrel should be a closer in close quarters and not the best all purpose weapon in the game

[split grove]

if you think a shotgun shouldn't be the best option in it's range, then you are crazy

its not even an "all purpose" weapon, it just was the best option because outpost and cryo are close quarter maps!!

if i was on perimeter or dire, it'd be a different story. i'd be using a sniper or a railgun after the buffs

[faint thicket]

Bruh i have over 300Hrs and never noticed there were Reinf Shield in green?

[lyric sluice]

always has been new icon today

[faint thicket]

guess i've had use green shields for too little to noticing it

[acoustic shard]

180 greens are the only good greens

[lyric trail]

I think the wstr should not be bwtter at close range than the misriah, idk why this is so hard for you people to comprehend

[split grove]

The WSTR with its 4-6m of range SHOULD be better than the Misrisah as the Misrisah has the range advantage of being 11-15m

[lyric trail]

Yeah I think thats bad design

[split grove]

In WSTR range, you should be coming out on top. But since you have so little range, if you're even barely out of range of your wstr and in misriah range, you're fucked and you SHOULD be punished for that

[split grove]

???

[lyric trail]

Because you can slide 15 meters instantly

[split grove]

What kind of fucking video game are you playing lmao

[lyric trail]

Marathon

[frozen nest]

I feel like a benefit that a WSTR should have is it should be able to knock back players 2-3 meters. Would make it slightly safer against knives

[split grove]

Cryoclasm is NOT in marathon

[lyric trail]

Idk wtf you are trying to say now

[split grove]

bungie talk for "extended slide" from destiny

if you let that wstr get that close then it's your own damn fault. idk.

[lyric trail]

Every character in marathon except vandal can instantly gap close a misriah and kill you in 0.7 seconds

[split grove]

except vandal?

[lyric trail]

Vandal cant shoot while sliding

[split grove]

right.

idk it just seems like your own fault if you let someone from 15m away slide into your face and double tap you with the WSTR if you have a misriah

you obviously have the range advantage

(there's also this cool thing on your keyboard called the S key)

[next nimbus]

What is the actual measured slide distance in this game anyways

[split grove]

4-5 meters

maybe 6

with destroyer you have a better slide

if you tac sprint then slide

[lyric trail]

So if you are in misriah range you can simply slide with a wstr and kill them

Reliably

[split grove]

Yeah. That's the Misriahs fault for not either backing up and trying to get the range advantage OR just not catching them while they're in the misriahs optimal range

idk how this is o hard to figure out

[grand quiver]

guys can you queue ranked just fine? I get error coded instantly

[lyric trail]

Slide is faster than back walking

[lavish thistle]

To the guy who lost to me in a 1v1 where they had the upper hand, thanks for the kit lmao

Materialist purple shield, purple bully, 3 bubbles for some reason lmao

[lyric trail]

Im seriously starting to think you people just want easy access to the best gun in the game and just make bad faith arguments so your toys dont get taken away

[next nimbus]

Even ammo has traces???

[split grove]

man arguing with people on the marathon discord is like talking to a brick wall. it always has to be "okay but what about this" and then "but you can just do that"

[split grove]

it's a bug

if you pick it up it'll give it to you

[next nimbus]

Oh, huh. Odd bug

[lyric trail]

You moved the goalposts first bud

[next nimbus]

At this point I just block/ignore the usual troublemakers cuz it just is not worth it to see their walls of text clogging the channel.

[split grove]

if you are sprinting at me with the WSTR and I have a misriah I'm shooting you in the fucking dome. I obviously have the range advantage on you and i'm gonna kill you way faster than you can sprint, slide, then double tap me man.

[lyric trail]

And you will lose because the wstr has a faster ttk

[split grove]

How long have you been playing first person shooters??? How long have you been playing MARATHON

[lyric trail]

200 hours

[split grove]

IN THIS SITUATION YOU SHOOT THE GUY

[woeful parcel]

Do we have tldr on the wstr changes? 2 shots blue now?

[split grove]

YOU SHOOT HIM

[split grove]

yeah

think so

[lyric trail]

And you lose because they are instantly in range and you are in between firing rounds

[split grove]

you're an idiot

holy fuck

gg

[lyric trail]

Ad hominem

[woeful parcel]

Trolling again I see

😂

[zealous wigeon]

Can someone show me the new skinn i cant open the game rn

[lyric trail]

Im not trolling

[woeful parcel]

War, war never changes

[lyric trail]

Wstr is legitimately a better shotgun than misriah

Its irritating

Im passionate because im mad about it

[acoustic shard]

It's a dark teal version of Azazel for assassin basically

[rain solstice]

not really after the nerf

have you played with gold misriah

[lyric trail]

I havent played post nerf but im worried that they buffed it

[zealous wigeon]

Ooo

[lyric trail]

No havent seen gold misriah or a slick mag yet

[lyric trail]

Another assassin skin :(

[acoustic shard]

Yeahhh, I was hoping for the second destroyer skin finally

All I use are the Achromatic Rush and Arachne skins though, hard to top those for me.

[lyric trail]

I just use shadow index

For triage whom I am forced to play against my will

[acoustic shard]

Only have vandals so far, working on it for Thief rn

[simple scarab]

Just got into pinwheel and it was Rook galore

it was our crew vs another crew and we both hired two Rook hitmen

[pure prairie]

I have returned from automod jail.

Fun isnt it? Haha

Especially if you fuck up mid convo with someone lol

[lyric trail]

The kill a runner with a 20m height difference one is gatekeeping me

Ive gotten it multiple times for using rtttttttard

Lol

[woeful parcel]

Just autobans you for an hour minimum

[lyric trail]

Oh yeah ive got hit with it many times

Usually for disparaging this horrible yuri tag that seems to have taken hold

[mossy swallow]

If you watch the clip again, the guy was being shot by a bot, odds are not full hp

[pure prairie]

I was talking about gear brackets and how if we introduced gear based matchmaking we would have people doing something, not even realizing that the word has a new meaning now.

As soon as I sent the message I went "Fuck, that word doesn't mean that anymore" 💀

[lyric trail]

Smurfing?

No

Hmm what word will get me banned

[pure prairie]

The opposite of a bear (In gay communities)

[lyric trail]

Oh I had no idea that word had a non gay meaning lol

[pure prairie]

loooool

Yep. It's basically smurfing, but on the same account. You use to keep the account at certain break points so you always went against weaker toons and would rack up rep

[lyric trail]

Oh okay i have heard that in terms of dark souls 1 pvp

[rare ore]

I was hella stuck on that too but I took a sniper to the "spine" of maintenance and got it first try

[lyric trail]

Thats where I tried it and none of my kills have counted so far :/

[cyan nest]

If yall had a hoard of UESC attacking u which u chooseing to help u fight them off.

A random runner with no mic.

Or

Halo 3 sergent johnson on a snowy ridgeline with a spartan lazer (if u know u know)

[rare ore]

If they are right below you by the exfil that's not far enough unfort idk where u shot ppl tho. It's a crazy requirement for sure there's like 5 spots in the entire game where it's possible lol

I got mine from the spine to the low ground before west gate

[woeful parcel]

We talking the vandal 20m

[rare ore]

Yea

[woeful parcel]

Maintenance roof to the bottom works I think?

P easy place to wait for ppl

[rare ore]

Maintenance spine to maintenance exfil is like 19.8 meters

[woeful parcel]

Or is ir exactly 20m? I havent looked into it yet as I knew it was bs

Oof aight haha

[rare ore]

They can be down the stairs in the work shops or in the grass to the north

Or maybe east towards AI uplink if there's no fog

[cyan nest]

Wouldnt the top of ai uplink building work... or like, the top of intersection?

[quick jay]

Is it tw1inkies

[soft prawn]

So funny to see that word get people muted....I know the RL meaning, but it still has Vanilla WoW arena meaning to me....like running Deadmines over and over to get the sword and hoping to not get past lvl19. 😂

[verbal sentinel]

beautiful

[wooden meadow]

Is the shotgun still ass

[latent trellis]

Misi shreds

[soft prawn]

It won't 2 shot down a blue shield but will leave them with 10hp so, 2 shots and a quick melee will for sure down a blue shield. If you have 40 melee dmg and hit all shotgun pellets with a few to the head, then 2 shots and melee will down a purple/gold shield.

[wooden meadow]

Thx

[rare ore]

ai uplink isnt high enough. top of intersection like the bridge is probably high enough if you shoot down into the grass to the south. wouldn't be 20m to the exfil

[cyan nest]

Ngl idky they thought 20m was a reasonable request. Its so hyper specific and nearly imposible in most cenerios. Plz bungo bump it down to 15m

[acoustic shard]

The scaffolding by the locked room in the air at South Relay is 21m off the ground, thats where I got mine done

[cyan nest]

Can u post a photo of the location

[acoustic shard]

Not in game rn, just go to south relay and look up in the air, you'll see a bridge and a locked door across from the main building, pretty hard to miss

[lyric trail]

Vandal just has some very awkward challenges that dont play to her kit

[woeful parcel]

The bungie vid literally shows two shotting a blue shield

The highlight video for todays patch

[soft prawn]

Direct from the patch notes:

• **WSTR Combat Shotgun **
  • Increased damage from 78 to 85.

Guess what 85x2 is? It's 170. A runner with full blue shield has 180hp. So...2 shots will leave them with 10hp.

A runner has a base of 120hp, shields give 20hp per shield slot. Blue shield is 3 shield slots. So, 20x3=60. So a runner with full blue shield has an effective HP of 180.

[cyan nest]

Aight

[unreal sedge]

I thought runner HP was 110

120 seems consistent though

Even leaving them with 10 means a good punch knocks them even without sucker

Should work on purples too, punch does more than 30

[soft prawn]

WSTR does 170 dmg, leaving runner with 10hp, meaning 2 shots and a quick melee will down a full blue shield.

Purple/Gold shields have 4 slots giving an effective HP of 200. 2 shots from WSTR leaves them with 30hp, so you would need a minimum of 30 melee dmg to 2 shot + knife hit to down a purple/gold or 40 melee dmg with a couple pellets hitting head for boosted pellet dmg to 2 shot + quick melee.

[unreal sedge]

Punch is 1/2 listed melee so as long as you have 60 that works

[soft prawn]

I THINK the quick melee is your melee dmg stat halved because you're not using your knife.

[unreal sedge]

Yeah

So 60+

Not too hard to get

[split grove]

feel a little dumb asking this; does circuit tracers proc on a down when fighting runners? I look for other mods other than tracers because i feel like it doesnt help too much in gunfights in the moment

[woeful parcel]

What about hitting some pellets in the head then

[queen raven]

120 is official hp with no shields per patch notes

[queen raven]

It has a 1.05 crit multi so even if you somehow managed to hit every pellet in their noggin it’s still not 180

[woeful parcel]

Aight. Ye was just going off what I saw people saying. Tbh I tought blue shield was 160 haha. Lotsa false info out there.

[queen raven]

The blue shield in the footage is not full hp

[queen raven]

Yeah base runner hp is 120 but a lot of people assume that to be with greyshields (it’s not)

[woeful parcel]

Ye

[split grove]

at base, runner HP is 120+20(white shields)

[woeful parcel]

Well it doesnt change much tbh. If im using a wstr its got stack overflow with it

And im fine with rook not being a team killing machine with base wstr

[queen raven]

That’s where the confusion comes from

[queen raven]

Not like stack is hard to come by anyways

[woeful parcel]

Oh for sure. I stock up when its on barter

[queen raven]

You can strip it off blue ares or green m77 from factions

[queen raven]

Does the chip ever come up for barter? Or just the gun

I’ve sorely neglected traxus

[split grove]

sometimes, yeah

[woeful parcel]

Ive bought the chip yeah

Just rng

[split grove]

if you have Traxus upgraded enough, you can buy 4 blue stack overflows a day for 1.0k each

[queen raven]

Big news, I’ll have to keep my eyes out

[woeful parcel]

I had blue mini jammers one day. Bought all I could haha

[split grove]

but they do come on for barters

[queen raven]

Maybe I’ll actually have to level traxus

I usually rip mine from the green m77

[split grove]

the progression you get from the factions is amazing

[queen raven]

You can also rip these off blue overrun from cyac

[split grove]

don't skimp on em.

[queen raven]

Yeah I’ve got cyac and Arachne vip, nucal 27 and I’m working on seki rn

[split grove]

thankfully i've got all my factions to lvl 30+ but i'm STILL working on nucal, MIDA and arachne level ups

FIVE. HUNDRED. HAZARD CAPSULES.

[vivid panther]

yeah these gold salvages are gonna kill me.

[pastel harbor]

what's goodie gang

i spent the last 2 dire marsh runs trying to do my traxus contract

pmo bro

it's at algae ponds

so people keep going there

[lyric trail]

What is even at algae, why do peoplr go there?

Ive been there like once for a contract

In 200 hours

[pure prairie]

Scorch Warden spawns at Algae Ponds

[unreal sedge]

Lockboxes

[vague violet]

all of what everyone else said and it’s a high likelihood for lockdown

[lyric trail]

Oh my god ive never killed scorch warden

[unreal sedge]

Gasp

Kind of weird that the tox map has the scorch warden and the fire map has the tox warden

[pure prairie]

Right?

That was always strange to me too

[craggy pawn]

it's a tad odd yeah

but yeah, algae only has like one contract on it

[zealous wigeon]

I finished co evolution 4/5

[craggy pawn]

it's a lockbox spawn, boss spawn, a safe can spawn there, and some arms lockers

[zealous wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/chainsaw-man-csm-luckressi-luckelly-asa-mitaka-gif-5767895377199602765

[craggy pawn]

the sekgen quests are genuine bad design after a point

[zealous wigeon]

I mean idk what to say

[unreal sedge]

That secured resources where I got the macro. Yeah

[craggy pawn]

oh yeah and secured resources

[unreal sedge]

I thought that's what you meant by safe

The wall safes can be anywhere

[craggy pawn]

there';s stuff at algae ponds, but there's also genuinely no contracts there besides I think one Traxus one?

Unsanctioned Hostilities 1 or 2, I don't recall which

[zealous wigeon]

Well

Co evolution 5/5 actually seems

Easier

Than this

[proud ridge]

it's not

you have to do all the steps from 4/5 it's just condensed

[zealous wigeon]

😞

[craggy pawn]

unfortunately, you still need to go to bio research

it is technically easier

[proud ridge]

you need to go get a chitin sample and take it to bio and make the thing then take it to quarantine THEN do the fuckin lockdown

[craggy pawn]

bnecause you don't need to go to complex

but you'll probably enmd up AT complex anyway making the journey from AI to Bioresearch

[proud ridge]

yeah instead you just gotta trigger a lockdown that tells the whole map you're doing 5/5

[zealous wigeon]

So anti virus is needed for this

Great

[craggy pawn]

yes

[zealous wigeon]

No free kit for me

[proud ridge]

yes, you need av which means you can't free kit it

it's pain

[zealous wigeon]

Its contested too

[craggy pawn]

one for the simbiont and probably another for the actual lockdown

[zealous wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/higuruma-hiromi-higuruma-jujutsu-kaisen-jujutsu-kaisen-meme-jjk-memes-gif-10370496866020481076

[craggy pawn]

yeah, iut's bad

[proud ridge]

the symbiont gives you antivirus

[craggy pawn]

ngl after a point would it suck so much to just

leave thje biochain in quarantine

[proud ridge]

so you don't need to bring extra

[vague violet]

sunny was telling me in dms it “doesn’t seem that bad”

[proud ridge]

just need to bring 1

[vague violet]

[craggy pawn]

no Sekgen definitely has the hardest contracts

it only doesn't seem that bad because it doesn't say bioresearch onb the tin

[vivid panther]

the only coevo quest that gave me trouble was the one where I had to kill a runner because I was doing it in solos or duos and by the time I’d get what I’d need, it would make it hard to find runners

[craggy pawn]

despite still needing to go there

[craggy pawn]

yeah I got lucky and found somebody in sponsored DM also doing it

managed to get it done there

[proud ridge]

i think the final mida quest is p fucked ngl

1000 rooks watching as uesc push you

[vivid panther]

the rest of them I completed pretty easily.

[craggy pawn]

final Mida quest is challenging but like

you don't need to exfil, ironicaly

as long as you get into command wing and don't comically fumble, you've got it

[vague violet]

I found out the bad way if you get downed during it you fail

not even killed just down

[vivid panther]

final mida quest is actually my favorite quest.

[craggy pawn]

damn, downed? tough

[zealous wigeon]

Bro

[proud ridge]

i wish we got to see the lockdown ngl it's so cool but it pretty much only gets seen by rooks

i'm not even trying that quest before i wipe lobby

[vivid panther]

yeah. I saw it happen in a different run I was in.

does suck you miss what’s happening outside while you’re doing the quest.

Is traxus 5/5 last contract bad

I got 4/5 and 5/5 left

4/5 seems chill

[stiff zodiac]

?

[vivid panther]

where neck

[vague violet]

Nucal Traxus MIDA are pretty chill

they just finished MIDA pt 2 2/6 today

most of MIDA ones are fighting bots

Those’ll be more chill

Comparatively

Just wanna do this first to get it out of the way

[vague violet]

[proud ridge]

"I have your best interests in mind runner"

Contract objective: staple your balls to a tree and overheat 6 times

[vague violet]

[zealous wigeon]

[zealous wigeon]

Ohhhh

[vague violet]

[zealous wigeon]

Do u even need to exfil for it ?

[vague violet]

[zealous wigeon]

Oh whew

[vague violet]

for the other one I think you do but you just shoot boxes in drone wing and dip

[zealous wigeon]

Yeh. I did that

Was easy

[proud ridge]

they can disable the barrier with the terminal out front

and then fuck you up lol

[zealous wigeon]

Oh :(

[vague violet]

[tacit light]

[silent lodge]

say less

[vague violet]

MIDA 6/6 complete

[midnight narwhal]

I would love some advice had a rook named "Bubbles" on Dire MArsh just auto fire the new outlaw sniper rifle in full auto at us and then jump about 50m to get to my body and then laugh and kill me. full auto outlaw??? single shot sniper rifle LOL

[chilly egret]

My advice is report for cheating

[midnight narwhal]

i have done so. but dire marsh is gettin gout of hand

[pastel harbor]

yay

first gold mod!

is this a reference to dmt @vague violet

[vague violet]

yes

its basically verbatim what darkforged trigger does

[pastel harbor]

how well does it hipfire

is it like dmt

or is it just like mid

[vague violet]

i think it's pretty mid lol

[pastel harbor]

alr

no hipfire then

[vague violet]

yeah you also only get iron sights

[pastel harbor]

that's fine

[runic flicker]

headshots makes it worth, but then again, lever action

[pastel harbor]

mhm

[fiery widget]

Rare mid-air bingus

[lavish vine]

</3 killed last minute on exfil as rook

[zealous wigeon]

Damn that’s rough

Lowkey i once helped my team kill a rook on exfil & they had lotsa purps on em

I still feel guilty

This was multiple days ago tho

[lyric trail]

Just brought gold shields knto a match and purple squads were just full sprinting away from me

Jokes on them I cant actually aim

[zealous wigeon]

We didn’t even loot the Rook.

[lyric trail]

Or secure kills

[zealous wigeon]

Our bags were FULL

the Rook just took stuff we left behind

[zealous wigeon]

Its funny coz the gold shield isn’t much better than a purple

But having a gold shield gives you

scary aura

[lyric trail]

Aura I guess

[zealous wigeon]

Yes…

[lavish vine]

I’m heartbroken but still going cause the thrill don’t stop

[zealous wigeon]

Next Rook run is the one

[lyric trail]

I did have a reinforced and my friend had a spectre

[zealous wigeon]

99% of Rooks stop queuing before they hit it big

👁️👁️

[vague violet]

I used to pray for times like this @zealous wigeon

[zealous wigeon]

Damnnnn

Good shit

[vague violet]

[vague violet]

[edgy kestrel]

[vague violet]

it's called perimeter because you sit on the perimeter of the map until exfil

[drowsy basin]

4x Severed Twins seems holy

[smoky dome]

of all the things you put materialist+ on...

[drowsy basin]
