Why did you have to be so weird in voice chat? The beacon was active, we downed each other simultaneously and didn’t have self revives. I pinged “let’s work together” as we crawled to the beacon.

And you decided to go on a rant saying “This is a PvP game, save that working together shit for Arc raiders” and that “I need to get good and quit whining”. And on and on while we waited for the extract. It was weird rant, especially given the fact that I shot you first.

I could practically hear the Cheeto dust clogging your wind pipe as you berated me for having the gall to use the friendly ping in “such a hard core game” and telling me “I need to quit the game if I think people are going to be friendly”.

All that to say, I’m sure you’re on Reddit. People like you are part of the reason this game has a low population. I hope you read this and realize it’s time to touch some grass

Edit: “you might be friendly, but I’m not” is not the cool line you think it is

Edit 2: some of y’all are being real weird about this. This was the order of events:

• me, free kit Thief, finished a no exfil required CyAc contract

• I started the extract beacon

• a destroyer comes down the ladder at overflow

• I immediately start shooting

• we down simultaneously (no self revives)

• I ping “friendly” (because obviously we’re both laying there, crawling toward the beacon)

• chud starts ranting about how this is a PvP game and I need to get over it

Surely y’all can see how that’s weird behavior?

It opens exfils and key boxes on Outpost, but no idea what to call it.

He’s so coolllllll but he kinda suckssss… justice for sentinel #sentinelmainsofmarathon

With Cryo coming back, I’m reminded of a lot of solo queue fills I’ve had into Cryo where I’ve gone down and my teammates completely give up my bag, space, and make their fights that much more difficult. So, I wanted to present this little breakdown from yesterday where I solo queued into a game with this duo because it shows how to cover for teammates and play around them.

Your teammates are always valuable, even if they’re down. In this clip, a team gets the jump on us. I get away to find a position I can hold safely and watch over my teammates. After I kill the ill-advised pusher who’s hungry for finishes and my legend of a teammate gets back up, he gets back in the fight to challenge for damage on the next player, and I immediately go to trade out the damage and get the pick. I’m not pushing in crazy hard out of our room until I profit off his damage with my 2nd down off my teammate’s work.

All of this happened because I was aware of my teammates and what they were doing. I know we all have our struggles with solo queues but for 30 min two strangers can be your best friends joining you in victory, or you can give up on them and fall in defeat. Working with your teammates goes both ways, them working with you and you working with them.

*3rd is a bonus kill cus I’m an ape and the vandal is a bad sniper. I just wanted to use destroyer movement cus it’s way too fun. (Not always advised to do this against good players honestly… play WITH your team in cryo this weekend!)

Happy Cryo!

So I did something smart last night and just want to share with you guys. Playing Destroyer with a buddy on free kits, we were running the Magnum and came up on another duo. I popped my ult, we downed the first guy, but his teammate running assassin popped his smoke and disappeared. Instead of running over to finish the downed runner, I backed out of the smoke and shot him twice. Now my ult is still active so shooting him twice gave me 2 ticks, essentially priming my ult so as soon as I land my first shot on his teammate, my rockets immediately fired and we got him too.

I just thought that was fun to use his downed teammate to prime me for my battle with him, and maybe I can start using that as a tactic in the future.

HELL YEAH NO MORE BEING DESTROYED BY IT ALL THE TIME

For the first 2 seasons I only changed the skin but recently I started adding stickers and charms to the ones I use often. I try to go for themes like promo rewards, season passes, or factions.

Wish they weren’t limited though, stickers and charms shouldn’t have a limit. Pretty sure they’re adding custom backpacks in March. Hope that’s changed by then.

"// SEE YOU STAR SIDE (2)"

Been playing around in Affinity and with vectors. Made this as a part of Bungies #MarathonART thing. I hope y'all like it. :3 💛 👍

Careful giving second chances, some players round here hate that shit 😂

I’ve been playing for a few days, learning the game and the maps and despite getting my ass kicked having a great time.

Looking forward to my first Cryo run, had an inventory value of 4.4k so figured I’d save it and run some free kits to complete some contracts while I wait and figure I can scrape it into cryo if I find some good gear.

I must have died about 5 times trying to do this one objective at hauler, finally did it on my measly free kit and decided to run straight for the exfill to make up for all the times I failed.

As I approach the exfil I spot a runner looting another runners body, manage to get the jump on him and headshot him, loot both boxes to get a unique LMG, a long shot worth 3.1k, some great shield upgrades and implants before I decide to exfil and not get too greedy - stuff like this makes all the bad runs worthwhile and keeps me coming back! Bring on cryo! I’m sure I’ll lose it all - and I can’t wait.

i run with an established team and we've been cleaning up in this early season (watch that change after the drrrvishes come back lol). i don't love discovering free kits and contract items on bodies though, the arachne points aren't worth it to me honestly, especially if it's too easy a fight to win. if you're not trying to engage or you know you're at a disadvantage please get on prox chat and start a convo, my team at least are always open to considering a truce. we will do our best to kill you otherwise!

I shouldn't loot an entire POI where a specific green salvage is located and walk out with 2 of what I need.

Grinding factions early is tedious as is but having the drop rates on "common" salvage be so low exacerbates the problem.

Either lower the requirements in the faction upgrades or increase the drop rates of green salvage in their respective POIs.

My favourite gun in the whole game from a flippin Convoy!

I was close at S2, but didn't try the last one hard enough :D

Next is the MIDA last contract =\

Y'all ready to get your teeth kicked in? I know I am.

The changes to recon have made Cryo much more enjoyable all around alongside the rarity changes to shields meaning that there were far less purple/ gold shield teams for the first day.

Some great balance/ economy changes that made for one of my favourite days of Cryo since launch.

You're probably burning yourself out by turning this 5 minute contract run into a 20 minute ordeal by sneaking at snail speed.

Think with me real quick, sneaking is great right? But if you're sneaking super duper slow, you're giving anyone spotting you MORE TIME to see you. More time to plan, more time to get a good angle.

You need to move faster.

I get it, it's tense, spoopy art, all that, but you need to go faster until something makes you slow down.

There's no reason any quest in this game should feel like "a lot of work," all of these quests are designed to be completed and leave you plenty of time to do other things on the map before you exfil.

Assuming you don't make it out, lets think about the difference in time commitment.

It takes you 5 tries at 5 min per run = 25 minutes of failure before success.

It takes you 5 tries at 20 min per run = 1 hour and 40 mins of failure before success.

You're almost quadrupling your time by being scared, and you're blowing your mental stack on creeping through bushes.

Go fast until something makes you slow down is my main tip

After I carried a some blue shields and wiped lobby all to just die to a bug. When are they gonna fix cryo exfills😭.

Brothers, I'm a solo player on these types of games, and I just tried Sponsored Dire Marsh. Now I understand why it is so fun, you just go there, knowing that everyone has the exact same kit, and you just try to blast against UESCs and/or other teams...

I'm always hesitate to play trios with randoms but this mode is just so fun... it doesn't TRULY MATTER if you die or extract...

Is clicking this game to me. I'm feeling more confident when I approach to other teams...

Just wanted to share. Man, this game is something else.

Went in with the free kit and came out with Trace and the entire map worth of loot. Teammates had done Compiler already. And I was on a moving train - love those train exfils babyyyyyy
