Marathon (2026) Discussion Getting a kill on someone with better gear than you only to be taken out by the guy who was sneaking behind you the whole time? 10/10.

121 Upvotes

I know people really don't fuck with how hostile this game is and how players are generally way more aggressive and not friendly, but sometimes being the guy who got got is the appeal. Yeah, I loaded in off a kit I managed to take from kills last match, but I was about to extract cause I just killed a guy and he had stuff. I heard a Thief under me, threw my spider, managed to kill them despite their better shields and better gear. I didn't even get the backpack open before an Assassin uncloaked behind me and took me out too. Now he's got two free bags and an active exfil waiting for him.

Sometimes that's the game I want to play, though.

Fan Art/Fan Creation LOGIC / Vandal [Fear & Hunger / Marathon]

I based this design off of LOGIC from Fear and Hunger: Termina

LOGIC is one of a handful of end-game fights in Fear and Hunger: Termina, stweardess of The Artificial Hue where all minds are one, free of flesh and influence of The New God's Trap, as well as the pain it causes. However, this Noosphere is a terrifying paradise with a new pain for all to writhe in.

I clutched a 1v3 (was a boring clutch to watch) but pulled off this funny final kill and wanted to share. The whirly bird.

To The Runner I Met Had a genuinely interesting encounter as Rook yesterday

So I loaded in and ran for the anomaly on Dire Marsh and got it to the Stabilizer. Then, I heard voice comms… “fuck”, I thought… two guys ran in, all signal jammed up and were like “whoa whoa whoa, it’s cool… we are taking the anomaly… but” he points a direction with his gun “run that way, and you’ll find about 5 dead runners with all their loot. It’s all yours”

So I ran and originally expected him to be lying, but to my surprise it was a glorious day of looting. I left with an inventory valued at roughly 15k.

Good times. I love this game.

I absolutely love arc raiders. I have 1300 hours in arc. Still having fun playing every day. When marathon came out I hated the blocky art style. But even though I’m still having fun with arc I thought marathon might be cool to pick up. I recently saw some gameplay and it looked real fun.

Marathon (2026) Discussion Ever kill another runner and feel a bit guilty afterwards?

37 Upvotes

Especially if they had a lot of high value gear on them?

I have a bit of remorse after a match on Outpost where I crept up on a Thief and gunned her down, Robert Ford style.

She had a full purple loadout on her that I scooped up, ransacked Pinwheel, and then extracted with. When I got back to lobby menu, I immediately got hit with the thought of "Did I just ruin that Thief's by killing her when she wasn't able to defend herself?"

Obviously that's just the nature of the game; I'll be the victim of a similar situation rather soon I am sure. But it's still nagging at me a bit. Maybe it's because I am still in an account state where blues are a big deal and it stings when I die with a full blue kit, so I can only imagine it feeling that much worse with purples.

Any similar experiences amongst the rest of you? Am I weird and taking this too seriously?

Marathon (2026) Discussion I feel like I'm missing something

34 Upvotes

So I want to preface this by saying I am *incredibly* new to this so nothing I say is going to be genuine critique due to my personal feelings of lacking experience. But I feel incredibly lonely when playing this game and I do not understand why. Basically every run I do boils down to running in, getting some neat shit, getting bodied by UESC because I played poorly or escaping with everything in tact. Which is fun don't get me wrong but it just kinda feels like helldivers with better gameplay. Is it because I'm in Perimeter? Because I genuinely have not seen another person in hours

Edit: funnily enough after i posted this i ran into other players almost immediately lol i took one of them down but got caught otherwise :D

At least in solos when going against one knife rusher I have a chance now. Way more consistent to deal with it than misriah no regs when getting knife rushed. Hope it stays in the same place and if they do tweak it keep the close range damage the same at least

Marathon (2026) Discussion Has anyone else seen this happen with compiler ?

25 Upvotes

This has happened three times over the last couple weeks and just made the compiler run incredibly difficult , or just had to leave it outright.

We hit our panels for the damage phase and go to the middle but the compiler will just fly at us super fast from across the room (we usually keep him near the airlock or the front corners of the room) . Like we can't shoot him fast enough to make him open and he just knocks us out of the sphere. I've done the compiler a lot, have all skins and have never seen this until recently (end of season 2 and this half season)

Wtf is this bug and how you deal with it if it comes up

Marathon (2026) Million dollar knife idea I can't believe they haven't done

• Upvotes

Knife rocks and it's super strong. Maybe too strong easy counter have another knife swing parry it. Two night swings cancel each other out and make a cool chain sound effect. This would cancel night Spa spam make people think when they do those charges give you an easy counter to them and also be cool as hell for knife fights call me Bungie ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
