It came!!! Her unicorn is here, ready for full fluid swaps and detailing. However…

Upon transport, the rearview mirror popped off in the bouncing and rocking from FL to OR. I did a really quick look (like minutes before I had to get back home and leaving it hidden from the Mrs. for a month till her bday haha) and really couldn’t figure out how it pops back in.

I didn’t see any obvious screws missing/needed for install, as it seems like it just pops back on? The mirror, and a connecting plastic piece that bridges between the mirror and the headliner came off. Anyone have a quick comment or guide detailing how it is supposed to be replaced? It seems simple enough but I don’t want to break any tabs :(

Oh and btw… wow what a snappy transmission!! What a proper little boosted engine, and wow is it an incredibly nice (and familiar to our 2021 Atlas) interior. Love this era interior!!!

TIA!!!

Guardians and Runners rejoicing over today’s video… is it over?

Can the manufactured hate, “DeAdGaMe!” and player count shit stop already? Claiming a game is dead SIX MONTH into its release is pretty pathetic ngl. Yes, player count is always going to be a concern until it hooks enough stable/returning players, but with this announcement from Bungie, regarding incredible news of un-vaulted content and “new” stories for Destiny, and a concession that Marathon missed their make and will be focusing on survival, PVE, along with the core extraction/PVP experience.

Can we just talk about the game, enjoy some buildcrafting, maybe LFGing, lore talk, etc… without the chirping still??

Unicorn incoming!!!

Hey all! My wife’s unicorn, 2019 Red 6spd Alltrack is on its way and I am asking what I should focus on it being in the 120k miles range for maintenance. I am a WRX owner so I know about turbo care and maintenance, but I guess I am asking more about basic maintenance for the Haldex system, or any other check so should make before it comes.

Care to enlighten me all you happy Alltrack owners??

We also have my 4Motion Atlas so I assume it’s pretty similar to the Haldex/AWD maintenance I do for that rig, minus any manual maintenance of course.

TIA!

Epic Cryo Kit to Compiler run :)

Ran with two insanely good Runners, had a BLAST. I’m not the greatest PVPer but glad a few of my callouts, well placed grenades/arm cannon shots, and positioning helped us wipe the map, grab keys and DNA, and take down the compiler AND finally getting my main’s Cryo skin?! all from a Cryo Kit :)

Insane props to these two Runners. Super friendly, was gracious enough in my ability to get lost sometimes (Cryo is my least ran activity). I truly hope this game turns the corner season 3 where this sort of experience is common place for all Runners as this is peak Marathon :). And yes, I have been that other team on the other end countless times getting shit on when trying to run a subroutine attempt, and it totally feels bad. But this game’s lows are incredibly low, while the highs are absolutely atmospheric.

See you on Tau Ceti Runners!!

EDIT: repost… posted wrong inventory screen shot lol.

Stealth/sneaking is severely underrated imho…

/clip. The amount of times I have literally been under the radar in front of full squads is incredible. Moments like this, where patience and pure fucking luck sometimes makes for such an incredibly tense game.

Edit: The mod is a gold one for the Stryder MIT. It’s one of my favorites as a primarily solo Runner!

How are my fellow completionist Runners faring this far into the season!?

Harkening back to the days of achievements and trophies being pivotal experiences of gaming, I am thoroughly enjoying going through the Codex and trying to complete EVERYTHING. Vidmaster will probably be the one to not be completed I feel, but everything else seems attainable. I had a previous post detailing my WEAVEmaster journey, and as much of a grind it sounds, it was truly fun. There hasn’t been a game since Elden Ring that has fascinated me with its lore, mechanics, art, design, and sound since then.

Worked on some of the sponsored skins today, and wow am I NOT adept to anything but Vandal and Recon lol. Thief is really a great kit, probably the most fun non-Main Runner shell of them all.

Collectibles are so so close I can taste it. It’s crazy how many deluxe and prestige items can spawn in smaller event boxes and safes, not just the endgame content of the maps like Lockdown, Upper Complex, or Pinwheel. Although Severed Twins… yeah I am expecting I’ll see the last four I need ONLY in Destroyed Wing key room :(

Vault Breakers has been a fun side distraction, and I am glad they extended it. I really hope this is a framework for a more encompassing Rogue-like mode, where we can build craft and load out with *almost* any kit and maybe even on a rotating map basis. The item economy is just right as it’s not affecting the PVP item economy much, and pushing players to be a bit more brazenly brave in the PVP modes.

Even with the amount of hours I have, I truly feel like there are fun and substantial things to grind for still. So how someone who may have a fraction of my hours saying “there’s nothing to do!”, really confuses me... but I get it if these items are not what some players want.

The biggest driver and motivation for me is the unraveling narrative and lore. I truly wish the priority contracts of S2 had more to them other then the four to six we got :/ the audio design even in the faction cutscenes and especially in codex are so high-quality storytelling, I just want more! Lol.

Anyway, hope to hear from other grinders and completionist Runners about their journey!!! The 18th can’t come soon enough, and on to season 3!

Is this in the running for quickest death in Marathon? Lol 😂

Left the intro a little long to show just how quick it was from loading in to insta-death. Literally shit myself lol. 😂

u/Darksol503 — 2 months ago

It is done. WEAVEmaster 🤙🏽

Included is my last couple Rook runs. Man that grind was fun, but I really hope there is more incentive than just the skins and title. I would be happy with even one permanent point per season 🐛🐛🐛

Best value/conversion for cradle?

Is there some sort of best practices ie., bartering for cores/implants is actually less value than just converting the original material? Some items are more efficient and value packed than others (commendations looking at you!).

I’ve got an abundance of credits so buying cores for runner shells I don’t use is a no brainer, and weapons I don’t like, etc…

What have you noticed?

Fun run with SeraphMax. Unc still got it lol 😎

Lobby was not wanting us in Complex Control in the slightest lol. Still turned out to be a tense run. What a blast a chill game with one of the premier and awesome Marathon streamers!

u/Darksol503 — 3 months ago

Rook what the cat dragged in… 😎

Seriously though, pun and dad joke aside… if you ain’t Rooking it you are missing out! I consider this 1/3 of the game next to sweaty squad play, and tactical solo.

Is there not an easier to convert all rather than selecting every overflow item one at a time??

Also, bravo Bungie, Vault Breakers is a blast and I love filling with randoms that have never ever set foot in Cryo due to the fear of it. Made me feel like a mini-Sherpa! This needs to be standard for all End Game content in this type of extraction shooter I feel like :) I fear making it disappear will only repeat the same drop when Survival mode ended :(

Can we get it permanently the off days of Cryo-proper?

“Everyone understands the gravity of the situation, even if we do not understand the literal gravity of the situation.”

Just fully unlocked “Classified: Colony Anomaly Research” Night Marsh codex items, and this has got to be one of my favorite lines of narration thus far.

Took the risk, loaded into Cryo with the best gear we have been collecting over the season…

… and it was a fuck-ton of fun!!! Incredible fights, insane close calls, clutch 1v2s, loads of amazing gear.

First run a team sat outside our key room until literally a couple minutes before final, and then us deciding to push for the wipe, and dying meters from exfil :(

Then…. five successful exfils in a row, then two of our first Compiler runs, only to have too little time before committing to the boss room, and exfiling by the skin of our worm-printed teeth. Seven totally incredibly successfully fun runs for the night.

We are not sweats, but we love the game nonetheless. We played super cautious and careful, only engaging when absolutely necessary. I am super excited to be almost done with Compiler and Reverie lore as well.

This weekend, the Compiler is ours!!! We’re coming for you!

MIDA Limited contract and disabling shield…

Sorry for the potato pic… anyone get this done and know the steps? Granted I just got it and only ran it once but nowhere were there containers or a shield to disable when I looked at the mentioned areas on Narsh :/
