omg, you guys, the new mid-season patch for marathon is seriously huge. i mean, we all knew the recon buffs were coming, but i didn't expect 11 new deluxe weapon variants to be added to the mix. these new variants are like, blue rarity uniques, so they're not as rare as the gold ones you can find in cryo archive, but they still have sweet bonuses that you can't just replicate with attachments.



i'm super stoked about the recon buffs, though. now, the tracker drone can actually track players and bots separately, which is a total game changer. no more getting confused about who's a real player and who's just a bot. and let's be real, the tracker drone was kinda meh before, but now it's actually useful. i'm curious to see how this changes the gameplay dynamic, especially in pvp modes.



but what really caught my eye was the introduction of the mercy kit. it's this new consumable that lets you revive strangers outside of your crew, which is just so cool. it's not like you can use it on yourself, though, so you'll have to be strategic about when you use it. apparently, all rooks will now spawn with one of these kits by default, so it'll be interesting to see how that changes rook-on-rook battles. i love the idea of being able to form alliances or just be nice to rival players, it adds a whole new layer of depth to the game.



there are also some quality of life changes, like three new universal weapon chips, which is always a plus. and, of course, some nerfs to balance things out. i didn't see a full list of nerfs, but i'm sure they'll be detailed somewhereRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
