Bungie’s Joe Ziegler took to [URL='https://x.com/Ziegler_Dev/status/2026971692896338372']social media[/URL] to offer last-minute tips. I’m hoping to carve out some time this weekend to give Marathon a shot myself, so I found these tips interesting. Hopefully they will also prove useful! [LIST] [*]gear comes and goes, don’t be too precious about it, but learn to use what you got and it will serve you. [*]remember to bring enough ammo and consumables to survive a couple fights, if you don’t have much then use a sponsored kit or play as rook and focus your runs on getting gear and creds or stocking up on resources. [*]if you’re learning don’t rush your contract objectives, playing slow can help you avoid getting overwhelmed. [*]keep your ears open. You will often hear threats before you see them. [*]try to take the fights you think you can win, you don’t need to fight everything. Greed and ambition can lead to a quick downfall. [*]don’t sleep on the battery weapons, in the right hands they are strong, but remember if you reload with them before they’re empty, you lose the battery. [*]a friend who plays Triage is a keeper. Be kind to them. [*]if you want to win a fight, use what your opponent wants against them. Patience and cunning are powerful allies. [*]stray rooks are unpredictable and can either be a blessing or a curse depending on how you treat them. [*]don’t tilt, cooler heads make smarter decisions. [*]if all else fails beg for mercy in prox chat and hope someone listens :) [/LIST] It all sounds pretty intense, but that’s what you’d expect from an extraction shooter. I expect I’ll be leaning on that last tip over the weekend. The Marathon server slam runs from today, February 26, to March 2.
