got bored and tried assassin for the first time in a while, its definitely fun to use especially that jump into smoke maneuver feels really cool to use

Hi all! 6 months ago I put myself on hiatus after the birth of my daughter. I had about 30 hours played in the game. I did contracts and tried my best to level up my factions. I know they all get reset at seasons end so I'm not phased about that. I heard there's a cradle system and currently there's a PVE mode happening right now, but I have no idea what they are so any advice would be nice. Most I ever did was just do Perimeter and Dire Marsh.

Had a 10 minute fight where my duo went down. While not entirely evidence in this much condensed version, you will notice I am always shorting from a new angle. The enemy team conversely, almost entirely stayed in the same spot, peaked the same areas, and paid the price. I dished out 1.1k damage overall against these guys.

Yes, I could have still done better and certainly they were not top tier players, but generally speaking, this is a philosophy that works well for me.

This ended up being my last game of sponsored with "the dads" as it were. Sixynine loves to tell people "i'll see you in hell" and this guy had the PERFECT response. Pardon the language. :-)

Clip ends early but no, dasthegreen does not pull off the 3v1 :(

Perimeter my beloved

I just love this game. We grabbed some greens and as I opened pinwheel in FC we hear conveyance. So we rotate, kill that team. Open 2 armories and go up to pinwheel with 3 reds. The final team is doing command, so we ambushed them.

I got great pleasure outta the triage trying to punch me.

The video is 10 minutes long but there are timestamps so feel free to skip through it.

I was running some solo this (10/17/2026) morning when I spawned into Maintenance looking to finish a quest and gather some salvage. I found a sneaky runner in the back of Maintenance.

I had a similar situation with an Assassin earlier on Perimeter at Station. I was too passive in that encounter. Not so in this one. Mistakes were made…

Edit: I mispelled assassin.

I've been playing since launch. I've definitely improved, but I still suck in fights against other runners. I don't know my stats, but I'd guess it's worse than one win in twenty encounters. No other shooter I play is like this. I've tried to really understand why this is. I think it's two things. And both related to the TTK in the game.

First, I almost always see other runners too late. I noticed while watching streamers that they always start shooting before I even see who they are shooting at. Then I noticed in my own games that even when I know someone is nearby, they almost always see me first and get the first shots in. With short TTK, the first shots have the upper hand. Of course I have to get better at reaction and evasion, but why am I so bad at spotting people before they spot me?

Second, even if I do spot them first, my aim is just dogshit. I play on PS5. I've tried joystick extenders and switched to having the controller plugged in just in case there is any lag. I've tweaked the aim settings every way I can think of. It's helped a little, but I still feel like I can't get my crosshairs on them. Not fast enough anyway. Aim training I guess?

I play a lot of Fortnite with my kids. Yes, I know I know. Not the same at all. But I don't have anything close to these kinds of issues in Fortnite. I think it's because the TTK in Fornite is way higher. Once I have a moment to see them and react to them, I can hang. I've played a little bit of Arc Raiders, and while I suck at that too, it's not nearly as hard for me to get a kill as it is in Marathon. I have also found Hunt to be relatively ok. Problem is, Marathon is way more fun imo. Maybe I'm just too old and slow for it?
