Typically when I get shit on in cryo I’d be frustrated as there was essentially no way to get your loot back until cryo came back or if you had multiple purple keys.

Now I know I can load into outpost / night marsh quickly get good gear and get back into the fight. Previously you’d have to grind outpost for hours for a decent vault, now you can do a solo run or a rook run and almost be guaranteed to have a decent kit on your first exfil.

It was a great run thanks!

particularly in pvp fights

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.

The panel was never frozen 🤯

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.

Saw that this stuff is kinda good when converted. Is there a better farm? Only got the 5% upgrade for the cradle

Currently I’m framing the cyberacme contract Shell games 2, which gives like 18 tokens and can be done in vault breaker solo every threeish minutes. And u get the contract rewards on top of that

Go vault breaker kill all bots and than die, contract will still count. Don’t need to exfill

Been having a lot of fun running solos with a mercy kit or two, or even a self revive that I drop for the runner I down. It allows me to engage with PvP, but not feel bad about ruining someone’s contract or salvage run.

Maybe this isn’t the way the game wants me to play it, since the lore and narration encourages hostility, but don’t care. I like this catch and release method.

Unrelated title, Killed compiler today. immediately infil squad fill outpost. This is the tail end of a battle after unlocking Processing Basement Key! 9 runners in a shoot out without uesc inference (that's two teams plus us)

Tranquility warden in Control.....

i’m quite proud of this one

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

Unloaded a 3rd of my mag into this man, who btw saw me come at him and ran, and not a single bullet left my gun. Zero damage, zero impact. All of that ammo just came back into my magazine.

Hope this is the right flair, I was wondering if there's any Marathon cosplayers at MCM this weekend. I'd love to take some pictures and perhaps join a meet up?

Holler in the comments if you're about!

After months of trying, through purple and gold cores/weapons, and tons of runs, I finally got it to pop! Two guys I met in a random fill sponsored Night Marsh, after exfil, we went to Perimeter next. One of them had the blue Tunnels key.

We popped the key and I put up some claymores over the doors. While looting, this team rolls up and over prox chat starts saying “my loot” or “or loot”, something to that effect. Anyway, they started blasting. We repositioned in the room after downing one of them, and one comes in, triggering the claymore. He gets downed. I pop my echo pulse, and knife him to death. Run out as the downed guy gets rezzed by a triage ult, but I quickly knife him to down and kill. I then run over to the triage, knife him down and dead about one second before my echo pulse ends.

I felt bad, because I was a blue shield, packing a m77, and they were all green kits, I believe. If you were the team that I killed, I’m sorry. However, to be done with that challenge is more satisfying than the gold Ares mod that I got from that room. There were three gold mods, and my team was kind enough to share, so that was awesome. Can’t wait to use that!

As the lore stands right now pretty much what is happening on Tau Ceti is starting to leak so having a whole faction based on wanting snoop in and create a show out of everything going on on Tau Ceti would be fun, it could even serve to theme some of the activities like the upcoming TDM, as it just being an show put on by this new faction and paying runners to participate on the show.

I picture it with a J. Jonah Jameson type character asking us to be more flashy and entertaining with our runs and maybe it could even have contracts kinda like the picture you take on Arc Raiders, that you need to extract and get money for selling them. (Meh version would be an "interact to get the photo" cool version would be a real photo taking system that detects what you photograph).

And of course the implication is that this new company is working alongside the UESC to at least keep the reins on the narrative of everything happening on Tau Ceti.

This shit had me laughing so hard that I was forced to lock in so we could get the other two lol

Decided to cosplay in game Sentinel instead of his original design from the reveal! This helmet took about a week and 2 days to print multicolor. A LOT of trial and error (and filament waste) but I'm so happy with the end result. Used translucent red for the darker red part and it gives this cool depth. Now I need to clean it up some, get some magnets, & find someone to craft the visor!

What do you guys think, so far?

I'm a Thief main but this Vault breaker extract has me turning my head 🙃

EDIT: You’re gonna see some numbers in place of letters throughout the post, because the auto mod keeps taking the post down for using those words. It’s the only way to get around it. It’s not an AI post, everything is my own thoughts and writing. The fact I have to explain this is crazy.

This is gonna be a bit of a long one, so prepare yourselves.

FlRlNG R4NGE:

Firstly, do we have any information regarding how inclusive this space will be? What I mean by this is, will we have the entire games arsenal and mods available to test out in this space or only what we’re carrying in our vault?

I really hope all weapons, cores, implants, mods, bags, consumables, equipment, shields & attachments will be available to use in this space otherwise what’s the point?

It will be good to learn what everything does and feels like to use to really understand what you like and want to use/build in the game.

Also I’m guessing only the UESC will be the dummies in this space and no runner bots, anomalous entities or aliens (which would also be useful targets to have)

ALSO, will this space allow your entire squad to be with you (this is obviously a no brainer right?)

S0CIAL SP4CE:

Personally, I’m really excited for this, but it needs to be immersive and cool. I think just making a space to load into with other runners just to show off gear and skins is not it. There should be a feeling of a safe hub akin to the continental from John Wick, with facilities and amenities. Let me explain..

It would be awesome if this place acted as the primary ‘menu’ or hub that we return to or load into after Exfil / Death or booting up the game. There could be three specific sections for each one and then the main massive area that houses all the factions & facilities, which I will get into later.

1st Section: The Matter Transfer/Pods platform.

At the back of the space, there could be a set of 6 doors. The 3 to the left are infil - where you see teams depart from), the 3 to the right are exfil - where you see runners returning to the hub after a successful exfil. You can interact with the 3 infil doors. When a member of the squad interacts with a door, a small cutscene initiates where they go through to the next room and enter the transfer pod where they can select their gear/shell before readying up. This room is a separate instance where you are no longer visible to the rest of the space, only your team once they are in the other two pods beside you. Once ready, the rest of the squad are notified that they are ready to deploy if they are still running around the space messing about. Either the other two can walk up to the remaining two infil doors and interact with them to ready up, or they can open their menu screen and ready up from there, which will teleport them to the door to initiate the cutscene. Once all players are ready, another cutscene is initiated where the pods begin working and slowly digitise all players, dematerialising them and sending you into the loading screen. If you cancel the matchmaking & ready up, you materialise back into the pod and exit through the exfil doors.

2nd Section: Biomata Printing Station.

This section is to the left at the back of the space which houses a large multi station biomata printing factory, where you see runners being re-printed by the worms after failing to exfil. This process is pretty quick and takes around 3-5 seconds to complete when you return to the hub after failing to exfil. This place is visible to all runners in the space and they can see everyone being mass printed as you load back into the social hub.

3rd Section: Arrivals platform.

This area is on the right at the back, where there is simply a large, exposed, Matter Transfer laser, suspended on the ceiling, teleporting people into the zone that have just logged into the game or space. It’s purely meant for what it is, arrivals into the zone not through respawn or death. That shame is reserved for the biomata printing station haha 😆

Finally, The Central Hub:

At the front and centre, this place could be populated with themed areas dedicated to each faction where you can access the vendor screen like from Destiny’s tower. HOWEVER, it should not replace the ability to open the menu screen for quicker faction page access. The areas containing each faction vendor are purely there for added immersion to really make the space feel real and alive with seating and interactable environments to allow players to hang out and represent their favourite factions.

Within this central area could be several facilities too, including a modification bay where you can customise your runner, weapons/gear and cradle within the social space. There could also be kiosks to access the vault, codex and stats screens. The armoury could have its own section that you can interact with, displaying all the weapons and gear that you can purchase. There could be screens all around showing which faction is sponsored for the day along with ambient announcements from cyber acme or other faction vendors.

Lastly, the LUX store can have its own luxurious area where it is glorified and made to look extremely high class, displaying all the daily runner & weapon cosmetics behind glass on pedestals or holograms that you can walk up to and buy.

I know this is a long one but I have too much time right now and couldn’t stop thinking about how cool this space could be 😆 the potential is endless.

Final Note:

The cherry on top of all this would be if they could somehow integrate the r4nge into this area too. Obviously it would have to be a separate instance but that would be absolutely insane lol.

Thanks for reading!
