Marcus-The Legend (Adv Horde Cards/Tactics) by Hu1k Daddy

The experience (very little) ive had with Rifle Feedback is that it doesnt work. The ULT seems to only last the same amount (very short) of time. What am i missing?

Hey GCE,

Have you tried using the CLAW with Rifle Feedback? As this seems to help the most. The GL also seems to work great. Try it with this and see if that helps.

Ive started with the claw, And to take notice a bit more. (probably cut down on the beer whilst i play too. No). I might try and steel a GL - If i cant work out the in game text. - Is there an option to toggle the text to speech for that - Ive heard that a few times.

There is.

Its in the settings. It seems when you read it that you want the text of others to be read aloud in game, but its really yours that will be read.

Hope that helps

Cheers for the response, I’ve continued playing as Marcus over the last couple of days (on insane, inconceivable & master difficulties) and have actually been able to get BOB to activate every time I’ve used his LL.

However, there’s still no consistency in the amount of time it takes BOB to start generating stim after the LL has been activated :joy:.

Sometimes I’d receive stim almost immediately after LL activation, other times it would be half way through or towards the end of the wave. Most of the time it felt like I needed to do a certain amount of damage during LL before BB activated however I then saw the final post on following thread:

Does any one know how Marcus band of brothers card works as when i keep using it it only work half the time

After reading that I did find myself thinking that damage received could well be the missing piece in the BOB jigsaw puzzle but even if it is, there still seems to be an inconsistency in how much damage needs to be taken before BOB starts providing stim.

That said, it does feel like a viable card now as it at least enables Marcus to have something close to the tank like quality he’s actually supposed to have.

BOB also activates regardless of whether Marcus is in cover and after taking the time to properly read the description of his ultimate I realised that’s not actually a glitch (cover is just to benefit nearby team-mates for both headshots & stim).

The cards I’ve been using for Marcus are as follows:

Band of Brothers (level 2)
Custom Lancer (level 5)
Rifle Feedback (level 4)
Extended Rifle Mag (level 5)
Last Ditch (level 5)

Last Ditch is the one card I’m not completely set on keeping, I really like Brutal Efficiency but as I don’t use the chainsaw all that regularly after the first ten waves it feels like a waste of a slot. I also haven’t tried Defensive Stim but want to get that card to level 4 before I give it a go (I think I need another two cards before I can upgrade it to that).

Marcus card, BoB, is obviously glitched. The card seems to work fine in specific maps e.g Asylum instantly without relying on damage - I hope it’s not only me who noticed that - but in Exhibit/Bunker doesn’t work except in rare occasions.

Hey Noble,

Thanks for the post. Yea since they updated something it’s all over the place now. So I would recommend just using the high level set mixed with the mid right now until it’s fixed.

I know i’m late to the party here but i’ve recently been giving Marcus a try. I really like the idea of last ditch but i’m wondering if BoB is hurting me here. Ideally i want to be hurt when i’m using the ult but LL generally keeps me at full health or higher. So what about dropping stim altogether? I have an idea of what i want to run instead but i’d really like some feedback. I will say tho, if i play master i go the stim route always.

Though I’m totally inexperienced at anything below Master, I have played a decent amount of Marcus and tend to always use BoB. You can expose yourself to fire when you want some big Last Ditch damage, and turtle up when it’s getting too hot.

I can definitely see these 2 Skill Cards clashing though, if the difficulty is too low.

Does anyone know if Marcus’ Dug In card works when you are shooting from cover? I assume it does, but it’s hard to notice the difference even with the 50% boost (up from 30%).

I assume it does too… let me take a look at that right now…

Yes I believe it is working as you would expect. Noticeable difference through brief testing on Wave 17, Advanced.

Hey the community, I’ve got a question !

I’m just lvl 16 with Marcus and I just discovered than he is a monster in horde now, but I just read from the topic than the best card for high horde is : Band of brother, rifle feedback, defensive stim, extended rifle, and custom lancer.

I use to play with rifle feedback, extended rifle, custom lancer, dug in and cover up.

Which one is the best from your experience ?
Cause I’m still lvl 1 with the BoB instead of lvl 4 or 5 with all my abilities. Does the stim generate from BoB and Defensive stim worth it against the resistance damage of dug in and cover up ??

Thank you for the answer !! :slight_smile:

Why is he obsessed about seven @sses!?

Stim is almost useless in the higher waves on Master. I run Rifle Feedback, Last Ditch, Extended Mag, Lancer dmg card. Those r the 4 i always run. 5th one ill either run Dug in, or explosive dmg. But alternate between the claw and the retro. Switching between the 2 when ur active runs out. Once u get going with his ultimate ive kept it going for 20+rounds. As long as u jave a Jd thats not carpet bombing the enemies its very easy to keep.

Thanks man, yes I just try the BoB and défensive stim but was crap I will still the old way

You could try out Lancer stock as well, if you use the Lancers a lot. That’s nice to remove some of the randomness of the spread and get the headshots, helping your damage.

If your JD was extra kind he could give you a GL, which will help a lot with this. But not many JD’s will do that. If you were in a team communicating, it might happen.

But BIGCITY pretty much nails it on the head with the setup. I’d use Rifle Feedback, Last Ditch, Extended rifle mag, Lancer dmg and Dig in, but you could swap out for Lancer stock or explosive damage reduction.

Heard the GL>Claw but availability is the issue there. Love the Claw! People that don’t… I wonder if they don’t understand to pump it? Anyways, was trying to confirm that “Dug in” works like we hope it works, If you are stuck on the wall, but you are up and shooting are you still in cover?
