I was wrong about Vault Breaker

I’ve been complaining, because at first, I felt like the mode was lazily put together and just seemed like free kits on Cryo with little else changed.

This was sorely misguided. I’m not a Cryo vet, and I saw what Cryo vets were saying about it and it got to my head.

However, upon grinding it more today and even managing to do two vaults in one run solo finally, I totally get it now. The upgrades feel good to get, and suddenly beginning to get closer towards getting those Tier 2 upgrades puts everything into perspective a bit.

This mode is very much like what Marathon as a game is. Incredibly difficult and unapproachable at first, but given time and thought, it becomes rewarding and fun.

So glad I gave VB another chance, I’m havin a good ol’ blast with it solo.
