omg, you guys, have you heard about the upcoming balance patches for marathon? apparently, the devs are cracking down on some of the most overpowered items in the game, and i am here for it. i mean, who hasn't been frustrated by those pesky snipers and knife-wielding players who seem almost invincible?



so, what's changing? well, for starters, bubble shields are getting a bit of a nerf. they're just too easy to get and too effective, making them a bit too common. and don't even get me started on snipers - they're just too strong, period. the devs think so too, and they're planning to tone them down a bit. thermal scopes are also getting a bit of a reduction in power, which should make the game a bit more balanced.



but it's not all about nerfing the strong stuff - some items are actually getting a boost. vandal and recon, for example, are getting a bit more "oomph" to make them more competitive with other options. and, of course, there are some secret new items on the way, which i am super excited about. all we know is that one of them will give solo players a bit more of a chance when they're downed, and the other will offer a more "merciful" option for crews. whatever that means, i'm intrigued.



preorders are available at major retailers, and the game is coming to ps5, xbox series x/s, and pc. i'm not sure about ios, but i think that might be a different version or something. anyway, if you're as excited as i am about these changes, you can check out the steam post from director joe ziegler for more info. he's prettyRead more: Full article on www.rockpapershotgun.com
