[MARATHON 2026] One-week-in thoughts? (Gaming)

They have been so secretive about Cryo/Marathon I don't know how to evaluate that.

For Outpost, I am already past the level required and I think I have good enough gear to hang for a while. The problem with Outpost is not time investment/casual but rather that I have mostly been playing Solo. I am going to try, but other than maybe scavenging as a Rook I don't know how successful I will be in Outpost. I'll have to see. In theory, if I solo queue into Outpost it will be other solos so it's even footing, but I think as a solo your skill level is more determinative and so I wonder if I won't be able to play at that level given Outpost draws the better players with its better loot. The other issue is that a lot of Outpost involves collecting keys and then fighting UESC at a chokepoint and that is not AFAIK adjusted in any way for solo queue. The best ingress for solo was just patched out (temporarily, they say) so I will see what the replacement version of that looks like.
