Marathon day two check-in: Into the Outpost, an overpowered shotgun, and why I love doors

Marathon Tox Clear: Promotional art depicting a group of Runners encountering another group coming out of the treeline in a marsh, all aiming at each other.

Welcome back runners. Are we calling each other runners? Honestly, let's not. What's up people playing Marathon. I've sunk 10 hours into this dang extraction shooter so far and the deeper I dig this hole, the more I'm into it.

I'm still having a blast with PvP, especially when playing trios. During the day, when friends with real jobs are at work, I'm rolling mostly solo to replenish my basic bartering goods. There's a lot more sneaking around in solo matches—crouch walking through compounds, knifing bots in the back, and entering buildings through windows when possible. I'm now noticing little touches in the solo experience that feel like a deliberate response to how these stealth scenarios can often play out in other games.
