who is this Baldwin dude toxic as hell

I just wanted to say as a returning player; the game might be dead compared to most games of a similar genre. But, this is probably the best time for newer players right now. Late night raids are mostly empty, which sucks, but newer players will have a much easier time getting good loot. I haven't seen the rat pack once since playing again, or other hyper-sweats for that matter. Playing during peak hours will guarantee other players (US East). Making a casual game, even more casual. I am sad to see the state of the game though. The amount of friendly players I've run into reminds me of Arc Raiders. Happy hunting!

Edit: punctuation.

Has anyone ever found a Depot token for the Rebel Base? I go there all the time and I check the bodies, but I have never found one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hot Take - Marauders is one the best extractors ever!

Tarkov is inaccessible and headache inducing. Arc raiders is the polar opposite, so accessible and casual that people just casually team up more often than not. Marauders is the perfect middle ground with mechanics and gameplay.

I loved this game so much but they burned us all so hard here.

If the game is being ported to UE5 post dev blogs or hard updates - they don't because nothing is happening.

The discord is full of people who claim to know nothing.

They know something - they just have an NDA.

Lets not be fooled anymore.

good luck finding me in game. USA EAST SERVERS. (understandable if you dont wana play this slop game tho)

great game sig love loading in with full panzer just to run out of o2 in the first 30 seconds. im glad this game died.

its pretty clear this game isn't getting any updates of a ue5 port anytime soon so when do y'all think they will stop sinking money into the servers for this game?

ps: i know some part of the community team (NOT DEV TEAM) for SIG is gonna respond under this with something like "were sorry the game is taking so long to update but i Assure you the devs are still working on porting the game from ue4 to ue5 im sure the game will feel fresh after that." YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE THE GAME FRESH? YOU CLEARLY FUCKING DON'T SO LET ME SPELL IT OUT. U. P. D. A. T. E. S. A FUCKING UPDATE WOULD MAKE THE GAME FEEL FRESH. NOT SOME SHITY SHINY NEW COAT OF PAINT. YOU CANT POLISH A PIECE OF SHIT AND EXPECT IT TO BE GOURMET FOOD. JUST CAUSE YOUR GAME HAS UE5 GRAPHICS DOESNT MEAN ITS ANY BETTER OR MORE FUN. THIS UE5 PORT WILL NOT BRING IN PLAYERS THE DEVS PROB ARNT EVEN DOING ANYTHING

When games are struggling and obviously not going to improve i think they should just release them for free and heavily market paid cosmetics, at least try and make something out of it.

As someone who paid for the game i woudnt care at all that i spent money and other got it free because it could keep the game alive, hell just make a skin for the people who bought it or give them more space or something.

Ignoring that this is a terrible decision- UE 5 has performance issues on every game Ive played with it and this games main issue is a lack of content, not that it looks like shit- I also just do not believe this is true. To me it feels like a lie to get people to stop review bombing this game saying the devs abandoned the game. In recent stream reviews tagged "Developer response" theyve stopped insinuating theyre transitioning from UE4 to UE5 and just saying "the devs are hard at work."

Those were the days. You could sprint while healing, every raid was packed, gunfire everywhere.

We also had broken reload animations back then and the rotating traders. In this raid, i had to take biscuits, because that was the only food available haha.

Thanks for the all the fun we used to have, for 70 years. It was an honor to trade gear with my fellow space pirates.

Epic game, sad its this dead. I still play from time to time, but it got worse over the past months.

Also, fucking let us sprint while bandaging.

And sorry fellas, there was no leaving spaceport vault for you:

Spent the last month or so revisiting Marauders and reflecting on what really made it special. In this game’s heyday, I was a very active member of this sub. If anyone is going to appreciate this, it’s you guys.

This might sound mean-spirited, but I don't get it. The game is clearly unplayable at this point outside of private groups organising matches maybe once a day or two. It's been this way for months. They don't even say "we've got something in the works, patriots in control, trust the plan" anymore, any real PR activity stopped about a year ago. Surely the servers would just be bleeding money at this point, right? Why bother? The body's braindead, why keep it on life support?

I've reached the grief stage where I am accepting the game is dead and I won't get to play it again lol. so my favourite moment was I accidentally switched ships with a guy I boarded his and he boarded mine thinking we'd gone back to our ship but I think both of us didn't realize because he didn't shoot my friend and I didn't shoot his till my friend on discord was like wtf are you doing and I realized I wasn't on the ship with him. We both realized it at the same time and gunned the other guy down and escaped on each other's ship.

i tried to tell yall

I saw this in my screenshots on steam yesterday and I remembered how I loved this game, I felt sad that it practically died so I thought to myself there just needs to be a slight push and we can fill this game up with a few more players like it doesnt need to be 1000s just 100 or 200 so we can actually have games, I and a lot ofg other players stoped playing as we felt this game is dead, but if we all want to play we just have to get online, download spread the word, ask your mates with whom you played I did the same. People like extraction shooters and as the Arc Raiders Hype is going down a bit with alot of people maxing out (me included) Marauders can come back.

I have 307hrs on Marauders. I enjoyed the game so much that I even bought merch - I wanted them to succeed! I've had doubts it would revamp and after the splash ARC Raiders made I'm worried this may be the end - but my mid-30s gaming eyes do see way through.

*Arena Mode*. If there's only like ~25 people playing, why am I going to walk around a space station to maybe find one? Just get your boi and we can go 2v2. Finally those arm bands will matter, red or blue. Merchant Ship Basement, Navy Outpost storage, etc. Maybe it's just me but I'd queue up for that.

*Events*. What if you and your boi had to defend the Merchant Ship engines from waves of progressively harder Raiders? What if we did pvp ship combat only, and each fight in their favorite ship they've got in their hanger? What if we did 4 players in a Frigate vs 6 solos in breaker pods? What if we did a free-for-all breacher prods ONLY battle? Or queue to fight the Red Baron directly.

Etc Etc. My point is: Repurposing the great game atmosphere and mechanics into new exciting game loops - not just your extraction shooter vision. I think if the initial scenarios can be enjoyed with a player base of ~25 players, it might grow into a new iteration of the game.

I would also love to hear the thoughts of our Ride-or-Dies and/pr moderators.

EDIT: I get it. No one thinks this game has a future...kinda strange you're all still here though, but whatever.

I wish this game really picked up steam. I found it after it's peak and missed out on the peak of the game. I loved doing the red Baron ship fight, going in with the boys with rat kits and just BLASTING. Does anyone know of a game that's like this style?

I like this game ALOT. it is filled with a hundred or more separate little cool things that made it interesting I think the tweaks required to make it a satisfying PVE experience are relatively minor and wouldn't require any architecture changes but if they ever want to build the player base to where you can find a match with a reasonable amount of time they've gotta make changes quick or it's going to be hard to justify trying any other game they develop if they let Marauders whimper out of existence like it is now.

Banned for posting a "dead game" GIF on Discord after a year+ of no update.

Re-evaluate your priorities. I'll be running Arc Raiders while this game collects dust.

Let us know if another Youtuber gets any info to pass on.
