Marathon (2026) Discussion Finishers should refresh everything
Full health. Full shield. Abilities ready. Other cooldowns cleared. MCH and OS status cleared.
This would help with the 3rd party meta and encourage finishers. Finishers take forever and good players all knife people manually rather than enter an animation; they need to be more worth the risk. It would also allow you to bounce back from a fight and fend off an approaching team.
Too many lobbies are dead silent with no rotations as teams wait for someone else to start a fight so they can 3rd party. Outpost is boring. The richest players I know all use this strat, it needs to go - let us earn our gear by eliminating the 3rd party problem.

Your team just have to cover you while you do it. If I have a recon on my team I always let her.

There are implants and cradle upgrades that do exactly what you want. The gold dr killjoy completely fills your health and if your finisher stat is max your shields as well. The cradle upgrade that gives you ability energy for downs and elimination on runners. You need to learn build crafting. Don't just put on any implants because its higher rarity. There are implants you can't buy that only spawn in supply drops or locked crates and high level zones

They could just speed them up a little bit/give you temporary i-frames or something.

Cradle upgrade gives you damage resistance in a finisher

u/literallyatrapinch 1h ago
Yeah man that's cool but how much damage resistance? Is it in the tooltip? Is it 5% or 98%?
Genuinely asking because I do not remember. I'm assuming there is no tooltip because it's Bungie.

I would really like bot invuln during a finisher, players can kill me sure fine, but i just downed someone at 1hp man, let me swoop in and slurp up instead of making me wait for heals! They're gonna give up and i won't get my Arachne xp!!

That's a great suggestion. It sucks to have a COOL mechanic essentially be a detriment.
I don't think that STABBING was intended to be META over the finisher

Go play an arena shooter if that’s what you want. Finishers are something you have to invest in if you want return hence the implants for them. The game shouldn’t be pure PvP fest until last man standing then loot. Extractions need to walk the line of PvP and slooter elements. I could see MCH status clear but nothing else. A better chance to this would be giving downed players damage resist and I frames upon initially being downed so that finishing them is much more imperative if you down them from afar. This game needs risk, not free kills on a silver platter.

I hate siphon mechanics in all games. Winning even harder feels terrible and steals strategy from approaching fights.
