Biotoxic Nerf Hits Live, But Ranked Complaints and Crashes Persist

— Bungie's emergency 35% damage nerf to the overpowered Biotoxic Disinjector went live, responding to widespread community outcry about the "rich get richer" endgame weapon. While Steam reviews remain "Very Positive" overall, with players calling Marathon "the first extraction shooter with soul," the vocal Reddit minority is drowning in technical complaints.

— One frustrated player called ranked "hilariously bad," specifically noting that "top ranked players diamond and above still using gold tags" exposes fundamental matchmaking issues.

— Multiple crash reports are surfacing, with one player describing mouse input freezing mid-game, while others complain about "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ menus" eating up half their playtime. The Steam playerbase appears more forgiving than Reddit's vocal critics, but both agree the core extraction loop has potential if Bungie can stabilize the experience.
