Marathon is about to change in a big way — and in this video, I’m going to break down everything coming next. We’ve got a mid-season update on April 14 bringing Recon changes, a major balance shake-up targeting things like snipers, thermal scopes, and bubble shields, and then Season 2 in June with new systems…

Marathon Update 1.0.5.2 is here. Although the patch may seem minor, it introduces important changes that impact gameplay. This update touches movement, Outpost, loot, contracts, and even core systems such as the UI and stability. On top of that, Bungie has also confirmed that audio fixes are coming, and Joe Ziegler has been talking about…

Marathon is here, and season 1 content is out. Reviews show no clear consensus—critics see both strengths and drawbacks. Across the board, critics respect what Bungie has built. Respected reviewers, even unexpected ones like Jeff Gertsmann and Chris Plante, praise the game. There’s a sense of confident vision, though nearly every review also notes points…

If you’ve started the Data Reconstruction contract for NuCaloric, you’ll immediately see it’s not a straightforward quest—there’s more than just finding a location and pressing a button. You’ll travel across several maps and complete specific tasks. If you’re unsure where to go, it’s easy to waste runs or lose your progress at the end. In…

Marathon has sold about 1.2 million copies, with nearly 70% from Steam. Analysts agree—these numbers fall short of Sony and Bungie’s expectations. On paper, 1.2 million copies might seem decent, but for a AAA live service game backed by Sony and developed by Bungie, expectations are higher. This game was supposed to launch with significant…

Cryo Archive is where things come together or fall apart. Until now, players learned extraction routes, tried builds, and built confidence in PvE and PvP. But Cryo Archive changes things, ramping up expectations. Here, Bungie expects you to know the basics and perform under pressure. Just hours after launch, players were already debating if the…

Ranked is finally coming to Marathon, and it’s one of the biggest updates yet. You can try it out for the first time this weekend, from March 21 to March 24, during its beta launch. There will be changes and some rough spots, but expect the mode to improve quickly as players share feedback. Even…

Since launch, Bungie has teased the existence of a fourth map: the Cryo Archive. Set on the UESC Marathon, this is the true endgame experience. Yet, even when Cryo Archive finally unlocks, most players still won’t get in. Access isn’t just about how far you’ve progressed. It also depends on your preparation, gear, and willingness…

If you’ve been running through Marathon and skipping those yellow gas-filled rooms, you’re probably leaving some of the easiest loot in the game behind. Tox clear events look dangerous, they feel risky, and if you don’t understand how they work, they can absolutely ruin your run. Once you know the system, these rooms become one…

If you’ve been running contracts on Perimeter in Marathon, you’ve probably run into missions that require you to deliver items to a DCON. DCON stations are essentially deposit terminals. Instead of giving you loot, they consume items you bring during a run, usually for contracts or faction objectives. The tricky part is that Perimeter spreads…

Marathon just launched, and Bungie is already making changes based on player feedback. Such quick updates aren’t uncommon for live service shooters, but the swift response demonstrates Bungie’s commitment to the community. Balance can make or break extraction shooters. Even minor adjustments to audio, performance, or progression may dramatically shift how a run unfolds. In…

In Marathon, an extraction shooter, losing gear is routine. Sometimes you leave with great loot; other times, you lose everything in a tough fight or ambush. Sponsored Kits help solve this problem. Sponsored Kits help you re-enter the action smoothly, without needing to use or replace your own gear. These kits include weapons, shields, and…
