Game's so good, it plays great. >Does it get content?Hell no it doesn't, it's stale as fuck. Five months of "chaging game modes", zero weeks of new stuff.
>>574658000that's how it is usually, if you miss a shot you get knifed
Marathon 2026 needs Indian developers to succeed.
I love the game even though my aim and reflexes are abysmal (old). I know the maps and read player behavior pretty well though.only play solo, I'm a fucking vietcong. I will snipe you or shotgun you in the back when you least expect itMy only gripe is I wish more shells were playable. right now assassin is just too good for this game mode. zooming around as a vandal is a lot more fun but she just can't compete when it comes to also getting rich and exfiling consistently
>>574752879Thats because you play solo.
>>574752879>zooming around as a vandal is a lot more fun but she just can't competeTry destroyer.
>>574754839Having 1(one) competent assassin in trio can fuck up the enemy team's confidence. Because he'll remove aim assist when the time is right.
>>574752879seconding destroyer for solosonce you have his kit down he's both an incredible generalist and also a very strong duelist>>574754839>right now assassin is just too good for this game modeno shit sherlockalso no lol assassin is still disgusting in trios, the only saving grace is that the average assassin player is retarded and the average 120iq gigachad isn't playing assassin
assassin is just too good at initiating fights with enormous tactical advantages. uesc act as your personal alarms and bodyguards everywhere including when exfiling, and other players have no way to know whether you're already there when they enter a POI
>>574756954>assassin is just too good at initiating fights with enormous tactical advantages.He's the best for rescue missions too. Without Thief goggles no one stands a chance.
>>574756954i'm also not a big fan of the portable london smog he can deploy if an engagement doesn't go his way. just so much opportunity for him instantly. risk getting shanked if you go in, risk him recouping if you don't, and either way, he gets a full opportunity to reposition and regain the element of surprisethe nerfs they're going for are seemingly foolish and don't address the actual problem. just makes controller players not want to kill themselves i guessman i hate how challenging and good tracking feels and how shit controllers are that they have to be able to do it for freesomeone grant me the divine mantle of creation so i may shift us into a timeline where the right thumbstick was replaced with a trackball, like that one custom controller that one engineer made
oh my lord are they really not doing another free week w/ vault breakers?holy fucking shit the hubrisbros need to be shoring up as many people as is physically possible jesus christoh no bungie........
>>574758034Ez 800k players. #MarathonTakeover
we helped Triage too, he had to watch longer
>>574758034It's a 2 week experimental mode. If they did a free week for it, it would basically be a bait-and-switch.
can't wait for permanent pve mode bros! hope they add some more pve only stuff and forget this whole extraction shooter gimmick - as long as Marathon is Saved, it doesn't matter if it doesn't remotely resemble the game i originally purchased!
I like how people pretend that cloak and smoke isn't a big deal, but then piss themselves when I smack them on the ass out of nowhere
>>574758819This is bait, surely you know that no one, except 200 redditors is gonna play Vault Breaker
Pfor NPC enemies when?
>>574758819Nah, it'll definitely stay an extraction shooter. I assume they'll just try to pivot away from Ziegler's bullshit and towards something more resembling Tarkov or Arc Raiders, while leveraging the current director's and creative lead's Destiny experience.
>queue sponsored kit>match with other sponsored kits>attacked by a coordinated blue team>win>free keys
>>574759453>Pfor Invasion from Marathon 2: DurandalSeason 3 I guess. I'm sure the UESC will get curb stomped once they show up. Orion will come begging us for help and become the PvE Mission Faction Liason.
>>574758034Imagine trying to even explain what the fuck this new mode even is to a new player, that would be retarded. I'm guessing they're working on giving every map a rougelike version with some umbrella rewards/goals and when that launchs next season (if the game even makes it) it might be time for another free push. They won't have a state of play to ride the coattails of this time though, and with every passing week more and more people forget this game exists it's more or less already memoryholed even to the autistic chartposters
>>574762025not to mention other extraction shooters coming out and crowding the space and other big games in general. games cooked.
>>574764079Like what? Marathon proved the genre is dead, it's already over. Mw4 has a mode but it's an afterthought to the core mp like Bungie should have been smart enough to do
Uh oh
>>574750570I still play it because it feels good to kill players and see gold items pop up. Never gets old.
>>574765094
Unstable 10k today
This is embarrassing. Sony should have just down Marathon and Bungie when they did the layoffs.
>>574771151>downbut they could self-revive! *rimshot*

What a bunch of fucking nothing
So how's Vault Breaker?
Beautiful
>>574775929jesus, i was already raping with this thing
>>574774334>Fixed an issue where Oni would announce that UESC Convoy was active, but the Convoy did not spawn.Took them long enough
>>574775929Hope this makes it feel better to use, easily my least favorite gun.
>>574750781What did he mean by this?

I'm feeling a light to decent 10k peak on this one

>>574780832Why does this happen with every fucking bungie maintenance ever oh my god
So when does it come online? Im ill and Ive gorged on food I just want to relax in front of my fav game (and still dominate PVP cause Im not a complete gaylord)
>>574782393I’m convinced bungie is either staffed entirely by reptiles that are incapable of learning or that they intentionally like sabotaging themselves for fun, because there’s been too many server fuck ups for it to even be funny at this point
>>574782393They are just doing the industry standard "testin on prod" move.
>>574783534
>>574782393It's that Bungie magic of fucking up everything they do.
>within the hour>not actually within the hourHoly fuuuuuuckkk
I can't even be mad at bungie really, this is like the 4th or 5th time something like this has happened for Marathon alone and they have a sordid history of server fuck ups with Destiny. It's my own fault for actually expecting them to have their shit in order
We're back?
What's going on here?
>Added support to Player Voice Reporting and Voice Moderation.
>>574785757I went from 347 to 398 biomass so it seems to be real rewards? WTF?
>>574785757I AM RICH
Oh, now that's a deal.
>>574786002My friends and I use a third party chat service anyway. We call each other nigger but never randos. I imagine that one kid I left bleeding out screeching nigger nigger nigger yesterday will get muted by their system, lol.
>>574786002Good thing I don't use VOIP in this game.

>>574758536they really added a piss grenade
I generally like the new implant icons, but this one doesn't mean anything.

>>574787893smartest madison graduate
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ze game appears to have eated my white cyac kit from yesterday oh welly
Damn, solo Cryo got hands.
>>574788683Did they actually make the AI hard or just pump their spawn numbers?
Holy shit, 20k this evening? Honestly this is more than I expected. We'll be back to sub 5 in a week though
>>574788742They didn't change them, they were always hard for solos.
>>574788839>they were always hard for solos.
We won sisters! Now we have 1/4th the players of Destiny 2!
>>574789021>deadstiny
>>574789163>Corpseathon
Anybody had experience with the new shotguns yet? Are my 9 Misriahs fucking worthless now?
>>574788839>didnt change anythingLmao its going to get bland in a couple of days just like how normal cryo did
oh cool you can progress tasks in vault breakersneat
Leveling up once also maxes out your silk.
>>574791280:O
>>574791280Fug i need that before they fix
They call it Marathon because when you see it, you run towards it!
>>5747886834th time's the charm.
>>574787553you can't break those vaults
>>574788186pve is goated?! ZAMG!
>>574791280>Arachne: 21
Why do I have over 100 rewards from all the factions?
>>574786354>all the noobs get 100000 credits for free fuck youuuuu bungie wtf
>>574793340Is it too much or too little? I farm their shitass pve contracts, I want full VIP.
Cryo is a goddamn maze, where the hell is anything
>>574794006Welcome to the main appeal of Cryo, noob. Start having a sense of direction or perish.
>>574794223Everything is either under me or over me what the fuck
>>574794006Yuuuup. I suggest you first try learning how identify which side of Control you're on at a glance.
>>574794306Finished my second run solo getting 4/5 batteries and getting lost on the way to final exfil. This is gonna take a while
Fuck I forgot how brutal having a low cradle level is
Mara sisters, we're so fucking back!
>>574794735Not so fast, sis.
Not a clue what I'm doing in Cryo. Everyone I match with seems to, though!
can i do solo cryo without any other playersi just wanna explore the map
It really shouldn't take a person very long to figure out the cryo layout, it's very much not a maze. half of it is just a pseudo mirror of the other half but colder.
>>574795686Yeah
>>574795686yes but you'll get raped by robots
>>574795686Yes, the bots aren't too bad but they will take up a lot of time
I don't see the vault breaker sponsor kit in the armory
>>574796112im retarded
>>574796252You're a Marathon player so that is a given.
Gamerthon
>still only getting 50fps in this game outside of perimeter Now I remembered why I stopped playing it
>>574795686yeahwith zero prior cryo knowledge i just now successfully exfil'd after hitting a vaultyou're probably going to fuck up and die a couple times or run out of time but that's okay, focus on learning the map rather than rushing for the vaultthen once you have the know-how, then you up the tempo naturally
>>574797264in the age of modern software, the CPU is kingthere is no DLSS for your processor. you can't lower the resolution on cache misses
>>574797264Everything feels disorientatingly smooth now. It's nice in the menus but really fucking weird in-game. Or maybe my six days of only consuming sugar water and alcohol is catching up with me
>>574797264Take the fakeframe pill
>>574792938First vault. I'll be saving up for a backpack, having only 16 slots is unbearable.
15k was too much to ask?
>>574799285during burger prime time hours in 5 hours but you should be wondering how many actually stay
I gotta say, having to wait 2+ minutes for a new set of robots to spawn in because not enough terminals and natural security tags spawned in your starting area is kind of fucking annoying and not fun.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1v2qlc1/new_prestige_cradle_skins/Cradle prestige skin rewards. Looks more like a punishment to me, desu.
>>574800471you never have to wait, there are always enough guaranteed spawns to get you to clearance 1 which is all you need to move into control>>574800679this looks indistinguishable from his cyac skin lol
>>574800679What if there was a green nigga
>>574795686yes but its obnoxious since youll just be swarmed with bullet sponge botsi dont think they have what it takes to make marathon into a successful game, everything they try is flopping
>>574800805I'm talking about getting enough to get level 2 clearance to actually access the rest of the map, Level 1 is basically free.
The intro in now skippable, btw.
>>574800962there's more than enough bots in control to get you to 2 and even if you get extremely unlucky you can just move into another spawni agree the rng is kind of gay but there's never a situation where you should be standing around waiting
They should have disabled the spawns for items that are useless without other players, like mercy kits and, if you are alone, team oriented implants.
>limited PvE mode to gain feedback for season 3's permanent one>it's supposed to be casual and such>make it rape you in solosIs Bungie like actually retarded? Or did they put little thought in to focus on season 3?
>>574797613Yeah I'm too poorfag right now to get both a new mobo + new cpu and prolly a new psu
V75 and Magnum are good PvE weapons, but I really hope we'll get to choose the loadout of the permanent PvE mode.
Cryo is starting to grow on me.How the fuck do I open vaults by the way?
I didn't download the Vault Breaker update, I deleted the game off my system. Fuck PvE niggers
>>574801583>Is Bungie like actually retarded?Yes>Or did they put little thought in to focus on season 3?They just put no thought into it because that's how they've always operated since the split with Microsoft.
I haven't played Cryo since S1. Is final exfil showing on the map a general change or is it only for Vault Breaker?>>574802052Look at the top right corner, anon, there's a step by step guide.
>>574802147>my systemBro bought a PC game for his console in the big 26
>>574801583>another solo player thinks Bungie will accommodate him everWhat part of the marketing told you this game would be a good solo experience? They basically said "solo available" but never actually show it in gameplay nor trailers except for maybe Rooks running into each other. Try a trio fill, treat them like NPC buddies and if they backstab you or get you killed somehow oh well. Better to have a few extra guns on your side than sneak around until some UESC melt you.
>add one (1) depleted self-revive to the base kitthere, i fixed solo
>disable player spawns and triple the density of bot spawns, call it dayBungie really does everything in their power to get me to dislike this game, which is a shame because I actually do want to like it.
>>574802147Oh no! Not one of the 5,000 people! How will Bungie ever recover after gaining 10,000 players in the last three hours?
>>574802765>Experimental Mode created by a skeleton crew after mass lay offsI don't know what you were expecting.
>>574802854>after gaining 10,000 players in the last three hours?They'll lose every player in two weeks
got raped 5 times in a row and decided to stop playing. lost pretty much all my good guns. great game
>>574802765>triple the density of bot spawnsisn't this the normal amount of bots? idk i only played cryo a couple times but this feels... normal
I'm not downloading Marathon until fake cryo gets removed
>>574803730rise?
>>574747862marathon lewds when? sex sells if this game doesn't start selling lewd JK skins this will die. and If you're against that you deserve it.
>Hey all, we're aware of a few issues that were introduced with today's update and wanted to get some information to you on status of investigations. >First: Faction Reputation Package rewards were duplicated and able to be reclaimed. We are treating this as an error in the player's favor and are not attempting to remove these extra packages—think of this as a small catch-up moment for folks getting back in for the Vault Breakers mode. >Second: We're currently investigating a separate issue where earned VIP packages cannot be claimed or earned. We will share more details after we have identified the root cause. >Thank you all for your swift reports and feedback.

>>574802147
>>574804001Every time. Every fucking time.
>>574804001>got like 50 rank up packages for freeBased.Thanks bungie
>pve modeCarebare game, marathon is more casual and carebare compared to *** *******
>>574804543Arc Raiders is seething because they don't have PvE mode and keep getting shot by niggers
I can't even get to the first vault to actually get some upgrades, this sucks
>>574804692I got it with Assassin.
>>574804001
>>574800679>No sentinel cradle skin>No sentinel cryo skin still>Equipment changes basically cucked him even with the buffs he gotwhy does bungie hate the cool swedish shell
>>574800471you're not supposed to wait you're supposed to hit control
>>574800679>can't unlock them in the order that you want themOnly Vandal looks any sort of decent, but still not really worth it
I want PvE to fail, if you are not forced to deal with my ambush in game, you should not play at all
Vault breaker is fun. Hope it stays.
Huh, you get vault data even if you don't exfil
What does it mean if you like PvP and PvE?
>>574805541It's called being normal.
>can't worm my vault data to the cradleThe WORM IS NOT PLEASED!!!!! Vault Breaker pretty fun though. I liked my first couple rounds. Going to try it solo. What am I in for?
>>574802052Collect batteriesCollect some other mcguffinCrack open the maintenance tunnel using your key itemsDo a little puzzle to open the vault doorThen you have to exfil which is a whole other challenge
Are we so back? Some of us probably never left.
>>574804692I did it with Triage on my third attempt. Couldnt' exfil but I wasted like 3 minutes just figuring out how to open it
>>574805729A mad scramble because it's so much slower killing bots and checking for computer terminals
>>574806140>login to find weird, confusing overload of rewards>can't claim like half of them>servers acting retarded uwu I'm shy>store is filled with asswe are so, so back
>>574806140I never left until now, won't be downloading the game until Vaut gayker is removed
>>574805536yeah i think if you make it to a vault but then eat shit or fail to extract you still get a lil progress
>Best memory of Marathon 2026Skipping bots using invisibility, and attacking players, that were noticed by bots
>getting matched with people who have obviously never played cryo before>don't mind>try to tell them what to do and where we need to go>literally just ignore me and waste time doing stupid shit like fighting random bots in control we don't need to and running into random spawns>don't bother looking for batteries or coolant or monitors>"Huh wuh? Why do you sound angry man I'm just having fuuuun"
>>574805410too bad. official pve coming in s3 and nothing you can do will stop it.
>>574800805anon I think you might be colorblind
>>574807787Debil's advocate; these players are only now discovering cryo for real and maybe don't need sherpas to handhold them, they just want to explore in their own pace
>>574807787i thought this was a hardcore game for hardcore gamers
>>574807787literally me
>>574809165Not anymore, reddit carebears won
>>574798272Vault 2. Triage is really good for this.
>>574809775i've been playing solo as destroyer, seems very good especially with being able to haul ass everywhere
>already down 2k players
I'm not installing Marathon until vault breaker is out of the game
>>574810307I've already said this.
>>574810307Many people have said this.
Data not stacking is retarded, desu. What's the point of hitting multiple vaults in a run if the first one you clear drops more data than your trio can carry?
>>574808236Okay but just queue solo then if you want to do that, don't sandbag me just cause I actually want to level my kit up so I can do compiler
>>574809775This haul allowed me to but a backpack and a shield. I'm feeling the roguelite pipeline.
Completed my first vault and even got enough security to call in an exfil, having to dump my inventory to carry the data out was dumb.
>>574810512>>574810974Risk/reward. Come on now. And you'll unlock/find backpacks as you go.
>>574811145I found a green backpack in a container once in like 5 runs dog, shit is dire
Damn Cryo is awesome, was not expecting it to be this fucking dense from having only seen the top down map beforeUnfortunately didn't even get Vault 1 open since I had a hard time finding batteries
>>574810974You can't take the inventory out anyway; might as well dump it.
>tfw Tarkov runs better for me than Marathon
>>574811559>Damn Cryo is awesomeIt's more awesome when you have runners to attack
>>574811559Use the scanner terminals. They highlight batteries and clearance terminals in a radius. The more clearance you have, the larger the radius.
>>574810512the early vaults drop t1 data, the later vaults drop t2 dataall the cool shit in the shop costs t2if you only clear one vault a run you will never get the cool shit>>574811264it takes 1 or 2 successful runs to get enough t1 for the green bag upgraderevival also has a clearance 2 room with guaranteed backpacks in it, usually blues sometimes purples
>>574812023Doesn't the gear convert to vault data, just at a worse ratio? It's like 5 per I think.
Wtf was I lied to? I thought you could play solo in vault breaker
>>574813229You can. Disable crewfill.
thank god vault breakers is successfully distracting people from how fucking busted the v22 is now
>>574813650I really like volt weapons. They look good, they shoot good. Their designs generally feel more serious that ballistic weapons'.
>>574813650The volt thrower seems fucking crazy strong. Kinda tempted to just play Triage while it's good since you can basically air out a whole volt battery with the fast fire rate when you overcharge as him.
why legs horizontaland not vertical ??
>>574811559Rule of thumb, try to hit level 2 clearance asap and then use the wall scanners. Wall scanners will ping nearby batteries, and then level 2 will let you access most of the map so you can get to said batteries.
>new mode>need empty hands to equip free kit>need empty vault to empty hands>back to back raids since the update wiping enemy teams and exfiling >cannot be killed apparently>about to retire to bedHow longs this mode around for? I genuinely am going in with the worst crap I can and suck-seeding. At least I've beat a shitload of 'single run' missions today.
>>5748157622 weeksif you're intentionally trying to lose gear why don't you just feed it to the worm
