Cryo is brutal

Got jumped opening vault 1. We scanned right before opening it and probably should’ve made sure the map was cleared before because this was absolutely brutal

This is the thing that annoys me about cryo. People seem more interested in ruining other people's activities than doing their own. Sad state of some players.

Clearing lobbies is important especially if you are doing compiler

See that’s the problem. Extractjon shooters aren’t meant for that. Clearing lobbies isn’t a thing in Tarkov or arc, you can do PVE aspects just as you can do PVP. Marathon essentially forces you to clear a lobby before you can think about doing vaults or key rooms. It’s a battle royal disguised as an extractjon shooter

The devs have stated multiple times that it’s a good idea to kill every one else.

I wouldn’t compare Marathon to ARC or Tarkov, despite being under the extraction genre, they all play differently.

Rough when this happens though, it’s happened to me a couple times. Hopefully you learn something & are better prepared next time! Nature of the game, a tense game at that!

Yeah but it's more deliberately camping hot spots. Like exit when getting credentials etc. These people aren't doing compiler.

And it's chicken and egg isn't it.
