Here’s my last minute cosplay for LA comic con. Honestly not bad considering how quickly I put it together. Will probably make a better one in the future. Also I think this is the first ever S’pht cosplay so that’s pretty cool.

Every time I pass this rock on perimeter I can’t help but see a hanging dong. Am I alone

"Swiss Made" 1968
Its about an alien visiting earth, with a bunch of biomechanical recording devices.

Sounds like a cool Shell concept.
Imagine the ability to produce holograms and sounds to distract and confuse the enemy.

New to 3D printing but finally finished (For now) my base for the collector's edition. I love this games art style so much.

I know i played this super slow, but i kinda had to. I also don't remember when my heart was pumping this hard the last time playing this game. The instance i saw the loot on that guy fried something in my brain.

And yeah, sorry for the long ass "Clip".

After killing Compiler with a Claymore, we wanted something harder. We dropped all our heavy ammo in the airlock and pulled out 3 CE Tactical Sidearms to fight the horrors of Sph't weaponry and UESC experimentation!

CheeseWhisperer#0774, thenah100#8472, and Drako#9941 all agreed to do this stupid challenge. Two gold CE mods were lost in our ill-fated first attempt. I can only hope the other team paused for a moment to wonder about the triple-CEs with Punishment mods.

This fight was rough. Bubbles basically turned into impromptu Aimlabs training (which I badly need). We stuck to it even when things went very poorly and barely scraped by at the end. Drako#9941 was even playing with about 200+ ping which makes the bubbles into nightmare fuel.

I learned that the CE really is rough. 100% moving inaccuracy penalty? A blue BFM only gives +5 rounds? Other purple mags only give +2 or +3 bullets? It's nuts. Ammo was the main concern.

Hit me up with any other silly challenges you can think of!

Hope yall enjoy!

And if you didn't catch em, check out my Claymore Compiler Kill, the Subroutine Deficiency Clinic I run, and my 3D Cryo Vault Maps!

Soon :)

Loot boxes dropped by players should display the owner's name, similar to ranked holotags.

It's a small thing, but I think it'd add a bit more personality to player interactions. Sometimes it'd be nice to know whose loot box you're actually looting.

Plus, it could lead to some funny community moments when you come across the loot of a player or streamer you recognize.

Since player names already appear on ranked holotags, this feels like a pretty straightforward addition. I think a few other games already do something similar as well.

Edit: Doing this for other items like guns, shields or bags would be interesting too, but knowing that the holotags lose the name when you exfil I'd think it is harder to implement.

There's enough loot in pinwheel for everyone to come out with decent guns. You're still incentivized to fight over the couple of golds that can spawn, but if you're just free-kitting to build stuff up for cryo, it's way more efficient to find all the other free kitters in the lobby and pick pinwheel completely clean without all the cat-and-mouse. Give it a try!

I also suspect this is one of the reasons they still don't allow solo cryo. They don't want the pinnacle endgame map to be the one where friendly lobbies is the strongest meta. Nevertheless, I think it's worth at least running some experiments to see how things shape out. Solo cryo pls bungo.

How differently do you think encounters would go if you didn't have any information on how kitted up someone was before encountering them unless you droned and saw their big ass backpacks and high level weapons. The information can still be visually on their bodies.

I feel like too often my crewmates (and I) are overreacting to the shield discrepancy and if we went for it we could still do some serious damage and potentially win the fight. Knowing that someone has purple or gold shields causes so many people to yell "THEY GOT GOLDS" and run away or play the encounter shitting themselves. If we're greenie weenies that's one thing but sometimes we have blues and I'm like psssshhhhh we can take them come on.

We could still get the cracked indicator with the color but by then you're committed to the encounter.

Logged in for a quick Rook run hoping to find a few Tarax seeds. Grabbed Anomaly for fun, ran into a solo purple shield at guarded exfil saying something about "the other team is gonna get me". Cleaned up pretty nicely (sorry Thief).

😡

Puts the pep in peptides.

This clip is old I just don't know from when exactly, maybe after release with a month? Idrk.

I'm just curious if it was a known issue, I've never experienced it again.

(Ik this post is literally useless, I'm just curious)

I was doing some chill Outpost runs as usual, running armories and red room in Pinwheel. Hit one armory during the run already - was doing good, had a circuit breaker already.

I hit Pinwheel pretty late as was fumbling about with destroyed wing buttons, and decided to use the conveyor request instead.

By the time I hit red room, it was already ~1 minute, and I wasn't expecting much from it.

But I was so wrong.

Lo and behold, I got a gold shield from one of the strongboxes. I've never seen one in my 40 hours of Marathon, the most being a purple shield. So I booked it out of Pinwheel.

I didn't know where the exit drop in drone wing was, so I took the conveyor lift. Wasted precious seconds waiting for the lift to drop. I obviously grappled the moment I could squeeze out.

Exit was ~140m way, and I had around 50 seconds on the clock. Exfil was around flight control.

I ran and ran, and in my panic or perhpas there truly was no available routes for me, I ran through the main corridor of flight control.

Just my luck, there was a bum-fuck group of UESC loiterers hanging around, destined to keep me from my escape. I tried avoiding combat with them, but one of the bots was blocking the doorway like an oversized metal gantry, so I had to reroute by breaking a glass window. That cost me more precious few seconds.

My grapple went off cooldown, and the exfil was so close to me. I pressed my button and hoped for the best.

I was too late. I was off by 3-5 seconds. I saw countdown finish, and I was stuck on that accursed map, with no exfil cutscene in sight.

I lost the gold shield. It hurt much more knowing that gold shields are especially rare during this season, and that was the first one I saw in all my hours of Marathon gameplay. Lost the purple Bully SMG and blue Longshot I had with me too as well, alongside all the loot.

Marthon giveth, and it taketh.

I’ve spent sooo much time in this mode, the “aspiration” of fighting the compiler, learning the map and figuring out the vaults has had be getting all T1/T2 upgrades.

Love this mode, it would have taken me so so much longer to learn this map and its vaults in PVP (5k buy in, difficulty of getting vault codes etc).

I’m hoping it becomes a more permanent fixture in December and March! Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn Cryo, open until November 10th.

Hey runners, wanted to share a tool I've been working on for a bit. Initially just wanted a quick way to check weapon kill times for mobile but it ended up growing as I kept adding stuff to it.

Link here. On mobile you can add to home screen to have it behave closer to a native app, but should be fine in browser.

The app is split into three views, Shot Calculator, Weapon Rankings and Bench.

For the Calculator, you select weapon, shield tier and you can click on optimal or all body to load the shots into the simulator and play them back to get an idea of the actual kill timing. You can also set up your own shot combinations.

The rankings shows the weapons ordered by kill time or number of shots. This view can be filtered by weapon class and shield tier. You can select multiple filters, and selecting a weapon takes you back into the calculator view. TTKs assume every shot hits at optimal range.

Finally, the Bench. At some point I added a separate section for actually building out weapons, mainly to make sure the engine was sound, but useful for when new weapons get added or old weapons get changed. You can play around with the bench, all changes are local to you for now but a JSON file can be exported so if you spot issues with the stats or times feel free to share.

The data comes from various sources I wanted to credit, plus recordings I pulled from my own gameplay.

u/syphon86, u/Ok_Blacksmith_3192, u/flGovEmployee who built the various weapon sheets.

u/zeth_rydaul for the Field Research series giving us insight on the various energy weapons.

I tried to model things like weapon ramping, charge weapons and burst timings. Still unsure about a few things so happy to let you runners play around and break things.

This dude tried to push us with only a knife.

Sorry I tried googling and stuff but i couldn't find an answer to this one - after you exfil, you usually spectate a player if there are any left on the map. Are you able to cycle between all runners left? I sometimes wonder how many people are left.

I added Gantry to Glyph Museum if someone is interested, search Gantry or Marathon and it should pop up. Video can't process grey's that much so it looks better in person. And just a heads up it's for phone 3.
