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 these DCONs across the edges of the map, and if you don’t know where they are, you can easily waste half your run just searching.

On the Perimeter map, there are four DCON locations:

North Relay
Station
South Relay
Overflow

Let’s go through exactly where to find each one and how to reach them quickly during a run.

North Relay DCON

The North Relay DCON is one of the easiest to find once you know the landmark. It sits on top of a small standalone building in the north-western corner of the North Relay zone.

How to find it

• Head toward the outer edge of North Relay.
• Look for a small isolated building separate from the main structures.
• Climb onto the roof of the lookout station.
• The DCON terminal is mounted on the rooftop platform, making it easy to spot once you’re in the right area.

This one is fairly exposed, so if multiple runners spawn nearby, expect early PvP fights.

Station DCON

The Station DCON sits in the north-east portion of the Station area.

How to find it

• Move toward the rock wall that cuts into the zone.
• Locate the catwalk running through the area.
• The DCON building is just off the northern end of that catwalk.
• Climb up to the roof of the small lookout building, and you’ll find the terminal waiting there.

Station is a high traffic location, so if you’re delivering valuable contract items, consider clearing the area first.

South Relay DCON

The South Relay DCON is the most awkward one to reach on the map.

How to find it

• Travel all the way to the southern edge of South Relay.
• Look for a dead-end alcove built into the hillside.
• Inside that alcove you’ll find a small lookout structure.
• Climb up onto the roof and you’ll see the DCON terminal.

Given it’s in a dead-end, this spot can be risky. If another team pushes in behind you, your escape routes are limited.

Overflow DCON

The Overflow DCON is the only one directly connected to the main structure in its zone.

How to find it

• Head to the western edge of Overflow.
• Look for a bridge extending away from the main facility.
• Cross the bridge to reach the small lookout building.
• The DCON is on the roof of that structure, just like the others.

Given it’s connected by a single bridge, this location is very easy to camp.

Tips for Using DCONs on Perimeter

A few important things to remember when planning DCON deliveries:

• DCONs are far apart — roughly 500 meters between each one.
• They’re all located near the edges of the map, not the center.
• Most are close to spawn routes, so you may encounter players early.

If you’re running contracts that require DCON deliveries, the best strategy is usually to:

• Loot near your spawn location
• Complete the deposit early
• Then rotate deeper into the map

That way you secure your objective before the map gets chaotic.
