Marathon Raid Exploit Leads To 'Heinous' Griefing On Cryo Archive

"Marathon 's end-game raid map requires multiple successful runs of collecting batteries, key cards, and hacking vaults before even attempting the final encounter. And players have to do all of this while also fighting off other human teams. It is a whole, very cool, very tense ordeal. So you can imagine how much it would suck to successfully complete it only to get killed by a random player exploiting an out-of-bounds trick to cause tragedy and chaos."

"Over the weekend, a streamer who goes by NAPainter loaded into Cryo Archive, used a bug to clip into the final chamber holding The Compiler, and proceeded to wait until another team came in and finished the fight. That's when NAPainter and his crew jumped the unsuspecting team. They thought they'd just finished what most Marathon players have never attempted, but instead of extracting with some of the best loot the game has to offer, they were gunned down and left for dead instead."

""Cryo Clip of the Week goes to the most HEINOUS, EVIL, and DISGUSTING thing I have EVER done in any video game," NAPainter posted on May 9. "If you can get Out of Bounds and you can get into the Compiler loot room. And you can just camp in the room for someone do compiler.....and then kill them." He later said that, in hindsight, he should have let the team self-revive. Many are already calling for him to be permanently banned."

Cryo Archive’s end-game raid map requires multiple successful runs to collect batteries, key cards, and hack vaults before attempting the final encounter with The Compiler. Players must complete these steps while defending against other human teams. A streamer used an out-of-bounds bug to clip into the final chamber and waited for another team to finish the fight. After the unsuspecting team entered for extraction with top loot, the streamer and crew attacked, killing them and leaving them for dead. The streamer later said he should have let the team self-revive, and many players called for a permanent ban, citing the incident as an extreme example of brutal luck and exploitation.
