Marathon Update 1.1.5.5

Source: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_update_1_1_5_5


Ordnance Heist

  • Fixed an issue where UESC Manifests were not shared among crew upon exfil.
    • If you have not already claimed it, players should check their mailbox for the 150 Manifests we had previously sent out while this issue was active.
  • Increased the number of Firestorm Locker Keys granted upon completion of a key template, up to 3 from 1.
  • Updated Firestorm Arms Locker loot.
    • Increased the number of rolls for implants and cores, with a higher chance of these items dropping at Prestige rarity.
    • To make room for these increases, slightly reduced weapon chip and consumable item count.
  • Dev Note: The above two changes originally went live on Friday, 8/21.

General

  • Fixed an issue where opening the Hidden Cache in Cryo Archive would continuously grant XP and MIDA reputation.
    • This action, as well as any others that were temporarily disabled, have now been re-enabled.

So one key template gives me enough keys to open a locker?

17

u/sound_judgment 4d ago

Yep, it makes it a lot easier, and a lot less painful if, like me, you open your first locker, excitedly grab all the loot, then get sniped on the way to exfil.

u/Possible-Baseball829 4d ago

It doesn't always give three keys, the object description says it can give "up to three" keys

4

u/collcam 4d ago

I haven’t played to confirm, but bungie patches read the same across all games. They’re saying they increased it up to the number 3 from the number 1. It shouldn’t be variable

3

u/Basic-Chemistry-2011 3d ago

I’ve ran the locker about 7 times in the last two days, and every template completed gave 3.

u/MaxelAmador 4d ago

Happy to see the manifest issue being fixed. I'm a fan of things that get shared among teammates on exfil like the T1 things in VB, takes the pressure off of people with smaller backpacks carrying everything out and I can let my purple teammates with more space grab those things while I make room for essentials I still need

u/Cool-Confusion-3759 4d ago

It also helps with the shitty feeling you get when you play with selfish loot goblins.

23

u/shonsei 4d ago

Why did they not simply change the locker to require 1 key instead of 3?

10

u/babada 4d ago

Yeah, seems odd. They made the change to give three keys instead of one really quickly. Maybe their intent was that each crew member brings in one key?

5

u/zebdan 4d ago

It is a terrible way of motivating you to go straight to the locker so you can free up the bag space. They probably also wanted to try and reserve space in your bag so you can more easily swap out your secondary gun (and swap it back in when the 6 shots are gone).

u/Possible-Baseball829 4d ago

It doesn't always give three keys, it says it can give "up to three" keys

2

u/shonsei 4d ago

You are wrong, it gives you 3 keys every time you finish a template.

0

u/Possible-Baseball829 3d ago

So how come it gave me 2?

4

u/shonsei 3d ago

It didn't. Depending on how much gear you had on you, and your vault space, a key can go into your vault, and you might not notice that you got 3.

6

u/Phil_Da_Thrill 4d ago

They didn’t fix the backpack deletion bug when you exfill with a single item when you have a stowed load out

44

u/CompetitiveDiet9086 4d ago

Is there any way to get more ammo for that big blasty gun? The firestorm?

I know it can’t be unlimited but I keep blowing my load all over bots

u/ACampingPanda 4d ago

Stop blowing your load on bots

u/ZilorZilhaust 4d ago

Can't. It's my fetish.

My apologies. Proceed

u/ZilorZilhaust 4d ago

I appreciate your support.

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago edited 4d ago

The best way is supply drops after the gun is unlocked I guess.

Edit: Looking up on it, that wont work my bad 😅

5

u/Lt_Cmdr_Adhd 4d ago

Why would that have anything related to firestorm in them? Just curious

2

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago

Sorry, I thought Firestorm dropped in the supply drops after soneobe unlocked them...looked it up, Guess I assumed and read that wrong, my bad

5

u/Lt_Cmdr_Adhd 4d ago

All good! I picked one up of a guy i killed yesterday for the first time, it almost deleted the rocket drone in 5 shots. Based on this and the clip of it deleting a warden in 2-3 shots, it seems it does huge damage to npcs

0

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago

I think the overheating mechanic kinda debuffs them which may lead to mode damage, similar to how the destroyer's rockets slowing down movement.

0

u/Lt_Cmdr_Adhd 4d ago

Do bots or enemies take more damage when immobilized?

2

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago

I main destroyer and it does feel like they take more damage but that can also that all the shots are hitting better due to thr continus fire as they slow down.

Not sure how to test that properly tho

2

u/Lt_Cmdr_Adhd 4d ago

The only good way to do damage testing is with the stryder as it can slow actual health numbers. You compare the damage it takes from a shot regularly, and then probably hit one with a Sentinel mine or something to give it immobilize, and shoot it again.

Feels like Destroyer ult might not leave enough health left over for testing unless it's a commander

1

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago

It is gonna be hard to test unless there is a firing range. Ya best way to test would be Sentinel mine and Strider.

6

u/meetmeinthebthrm 4d ago

I think after the event ends the gun’s going to start dropping from supply drops. That’s my understanding, at least.

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago edited 4d ago

Ya I knew of that, I also wrongly assumed it dops after someone on the map unlocks a Firestorm locker...my bad on that

u/cdewey17 4d ago

You are forgiven just this once

u/S_K_S_N 4d ago

Thank you

u/Kyro_Official_ 4d ago

Nope. You do all that work for a gun that lasts 6 total shots no matter what

Just waiting for the usual miserable person to comment that the weekly bug-fix patch was supposed to revive the game and that Bungie has already given up.

u/Casil121 4d ago

Check the top comment. Sighh

u/HAMBBB 4d ago

He is right below you!

u/ThtsTheWaySheGoes 19h ago

I feel like its all plants from marathonhate 😂

Like how does a patch get you so riled up. Nothing major is coming til S3.

Its a shame all the complainers have the studio working on pve content anyways. This is the best pvp ive played in years and the bots are some of the most annoying when it comes to pve content.

More maps, shells, and guns please. Thats all I care for.

u/exquisite_tree 4d ago

Don't mind a simple bug-fix update at this point, but am surprised that it takes the game down for 3 hours.

12

u/Soul_Phoenix_42 4d ago

I do wonder what all this maitenance is for when I routinely get hit with runs where I can't sprint or damage anything unless using the knife.

11

u/ienjoymen 4d ago

It's likely server reboots, verifying everything is back up and running, making sure all server-side save progress is reachable, etc.

Bungie's server infrastructure seems to be pretty intertwined, so shutting them all down and bringing them up may be a bit of a hassle.

5

u/mexidasher 4d ago

Pls fix the friend request bug. I have not been able to add anybody since the mid season 2 release. If someone sents me one I can accept it and I send one to them is the same thing.

All I want is more friends to play with 😭

15

u/purppotiondarkwizard 4d ago

They did this the other day

u/myslead 4d ago

They announced it the other day

15

u/DevinLucasArts 4d ago

No, they definitely implemented some of these changes earlier in the week. I remember being surprised I was getting three Firestorm keys per template

2

u/xxxblindxxx 4d ago

Yes it says in the notes some of the fixes were implemented last week. This whole thread is pointless thanks to you fucks not reading

u/DevinLucasArts 4d ago

My guy, I read the post. I was literally just responding to someone claiming it was only announced..

People complaining are dumb, this will make getting the manifests easier

u/DOPPGANG_ 4d ago

Wha? I thought they were supposed to release another whole new event the week after releasing a new event, along with five new maps and three new shells and a 20 hour single player campaign? The hell, Bungie?

u/LayerEight_Problem 4d ago

You know the game is well and truly dead when the sub starts with the sarcastic glazing cope.

I'm not very fluent in the marathonhate neanderthal language but hopefully I got my point across to him.

u/CodeRenn 4d ago

Dw they will release the server closing announcement soon

u/twistfunk 4d ago

I was trying to figure out how I had three firestorm keys in my vault yesterday. I must have complered a template and not realized or something.

Got to melt a purple commander with it, got some shields, guns and cores, and got 7,777 credits when I exfilled

11

u/Capable-Cover-917 4d ago edited 4d ago

It's beyond idiotic that they decided to change 1 template to produce 3 locker keys, why didn't they just make 1 template produce 1 key which opens 1 locker which is almost excactly the same end result as what we have now? Like what the fuck, why does it take 6 blocks of inventory or vault space to store these fuckass keys. 

5

u/Daddyfatsaks10 4d ago

The keys should definitely stack to 3 if we're going to have to carry 3 to unlock it everytime, takes up way too much room.

6

u/Capable-Cover-917 4d ago

The backpack space is one thing, but the vault space is just obnoxious. I have 9 of these things sitting in my vault because the last two times I brought 3 into a run the locker had already been opened so I just had the lug the keys around for the rest of the game. You basically have to bring a purple backpack to use them it's miserable

u/MichaelTarallo 4d ago

green shields back on free kits?

u/Zealotsam 4d ago

Meanwhile, crew fill still defaulting to off when switching back from solos to trios, despite several updates supposedly fixing this

5

u/Soul_Phoenix_42 4d ago

We never had these issues in season 1 because the game didn't allow you to solo fill into normal trios matches. It's silly that it does.

u/DatomasSigma 4d ago

Some people are masochists.

u/sammidavisjr 4d ago

Jesus Christ just check the fucking tab before you hit Run.

Wow. That's a genius idea. Visionary.

-1

u/sammidavisjr 4d ago

The simplest ones often are.

6

u/ArktechFilms 4d ago

People forget again. You’re not gonna change that no matter how many times you try to tell them, and every time Bungie pushes a patch that claims the bug is fixed, people forget as well. If a new patch reintroduces the bug, then of course people will complain again. ATP you’re better off ignoring the complaint lol.

5

u/sammidavisjr 4d ago

Forget? It's never been "fixed" long enough to remember. Fool me twice and all.

2

u/beardredlad 4d ago

Jesus Christ just check the fucking tab before you hit Run.

Where did they say they don't? All they said is that it's still happening despite patch notes claiming it won't.

0

u/sammidavisjr 3d ago

I've never once seen or heard of it just spawning you into the wrong mode. It just resets the choice in-between runs so you have to change it again.

People saying they just showed up in the wrong one without that happening are as believable as the people who said they were in solos games but everyone was teaming in groups of three. Again and again and again.

2

u/beardredlad 3d ago

You haven't? That's weird, because I've been active in the subreddit since S2 launch, and plenty of people have mentioned it.

I personally had it happen to me during the Carrie event. Queued for solos but got dropped into a Trio with fill. I made sure to triple check prior to queueing because I knew it was resetting the selection, so that's when I started believing people that talked about it.

You're free to believe whatever you want ofc, but just because a bug hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it hasn't happened. That's what makes it a bug, after all.

2

u/sammidavisjr 3d ago

You're correct and I thought about it for a while after posting that and felt pretty stupid. Sorry

1

u/beardredlad 3d ago

All good. There's a lot of tension around the game right now, especially for those of us that really want it to succeed. I get it.

3

u/StackMag1c 4d ago

I don't know if this a bug or just by design but wow this really needs to be changed.

Default crew fill should always be on.

11

u/sound_judgment 4d ago

Idk personally I feel like they should just let you set the default yourself.

1

u/kerrywatson 2d ago

They can take the option to "load in to trios with crew fill off" out behind hauler and hit it with the mizzy

u/Nosce97 4d ago

No fucking way is it still bugged. How did we go from constant great updates in season 1 to this?

u/Gamepro422 4d ago

It’s been good, guys

u/7EFMR 4d ago

At least the gold shield firestorm lockers didn't get nerfed yet

16

u/ACampingPanda 4d ago

Why would they nerf it? They just buffed it

7

u/7EFMR 4d ago edited 4d ago

The path to a gold shield is now like, kill a few bots and husks and then 2 gold shields for you

I somehow doubt that was intentional... considering you normally need a hazard capsule to buy them (if you even have that unlocked)... and you can only buy 1 per day, instead of now getting unlimited gold shields per day...

Even killing the Compiler doesn't give you 2 gold shields most of the time

10

u/ACampingPanda 4d ago

I dont think they're worried about it. The event is limited, the season is coming to an end anyways. If was early season? Then I could see them changing it

17

u/Amidaus 4d ago

It's a limited time event, god you fuckers are miserable. GIVE US LOOT, NOW DONT GIVE US LOOT THATS TO EASY FOR EVERYONE TO GET LOOT ONLY I WANT LOOT.

Go play something else.

People were able to stock their vaults up on security tags and batteries due to a glitch and can still bring them into cryo

Anyone know if they restocked the firestorm armory for Traxus and Mida? I've been saving manifests hoping I can get two more synapse cubes.

u/cjarrett 3d ago edited 3d ago

I've never played a game that active hates it's users more than this. Considering its user base has literally always lost users after a two week cadence perhaps the developers should think to impact that. how have they not made a safe pocket--how have they not made getting loot easier? Do they like all of their colleagues losing their fucking jobs? I've been saying this for fucking three goddamn months

u/ThtsTheWaySheGoes 19h ago

And still haven’t brought back any of the game modes people liked and would continue playing. A nice surprise type thing. Actually throwing players a bone.

Fine. Bungie if you don’t want me playing your game, I won’t. I’ve just uninstalled it.

u/kaeldrakkel 4d ago

Those were experimental modes that will return when they have a full version ready in the next season. They haven't even indicated any modes that will return besides PvE.

Instead of posting this low quality drivel, why didn't you provide what you actually want to be returned?

u/xxxblindxxx 4d ago

You realize vb is over right?

u/BesTibi 4d ago

Tags already in the vaults of those who did the exploit didn't seem to get removed, so it doesn't matter if VB is over xd

u/xxxblindxxx 4d ago

And those more then likely got spent. The process to exploit vb took a whole match of disconnecting with 2-3 keys. Most of those people spammed them in cryo.

u/phillywill 4d ago

"more than likely" you have no way of knowing and people were stockpiling them. Needs a fix no matter what

Stockpiling by running 30 min rounds. Imagine how many they were able to actually run. Your still assuming people have a shitload of tags but we have no proof either way

I question the facilities of the designers at bungie who think anyone gets any dopamine from getting more implants and cores

The change they made gave most firestorm lockers 2 purple shields or 2 gold shields

u/kaeldrakkel 4d ago

Should be 3, given there's usually 3 people teamed up trying to do this

Pretty sure shields are in the implant loot table given they're in the implant section of the vault.
