Marathon Development Team

Heads up, we've resolved an issue where the Vox Nocturna knife couldn't be unlocked for players who purchased the Season 2 Rewards Pass after the NuCaloric Rewards Pass went live on October 6, 2026.

With tomorrow's update Vault Breaker makes its return and we wanted to give you a heads-up about a few of the changes we're implementing:

➡️ Solo Runners will now receive 50% more T1 and T2 Vault Data. ➡️ All of the Sponsored Kit upgrades will be available for purchase from the start.

Heads up, we've seen reports of the V66 Lookout "Nutac Night [Volt PR]" and other weapon styles with similar characteristics glowing on Night Marsh. This is intentional and only visible to friendlies and not to enemy runners. However, we will be toning down the brightness in a future patch.

From the beginning, this community has blown our minds with their Marathon-inspired art and videos. It's time we give something cool in return! Introducing On Point, the art weapon sticker, and Runtime, the weapon sticker for videos. (1/4)

Feel free to not only tag us, but to also use the #MarathonART or #MarathonVID hashtags so we can find them out there. We are on the lookout to grant a batch of stickers, share your creations! (3/4)

Hey everyone, Del here. Thanks to everyone who replied to our post last week! One of the things we heard was that spawn rushing and lobby clearing was making extraction sessions play out like a BR.

That's some of the things we're working on for Symbiosis to address some of the feedback we've heard. Let us know what you think about these changes and what else is working and not working about the game!

Rook also won't be able to carry a backpack that expands inventory beyond the default 4x2 slots but they will have a Faction upgrade that increases their inventory to 4x4.

We're also looking into limiting Key Room audio to only Gold rooms so stealth players have a better chance to get some proper loot. These changes are still being aligned on with our audio and design team, so some of this may yet change.

➡️To mitigate Cryo Spawn rushes, we're exploring changing the Level 2 doors that connect spawn rooms to Level 3. And that guaranteed Security Monitor in Revival? We're going to change that and make it random. This will be shipping with Symbiosis.

We want there to be more survival cat and mouse to keep the tension high and make sure stealth is a viable strategy so every run is a unique story. We’ve also heard concerns about death spirals and gear loss. To that end, here's a few areas we’re working through thanks to your continued feedback:

We're aware of an issue causing an increase amount of "ANTEATER" and "BABOON" error codes when queuing for Night Marsh.

While we investigate, we're going to disable both Day and Night Marsh from the zone selection until we lock down a fix. Thank you for your reports and we'll update you as soon as we can.

We’re making a change to address cases where shots against Spectre Shielded players could appear to not register after the shield broke. When the Nightfall Refresh goes live tomorrow, if a player using a Spectre Shield keeps firing after becoming invisible... (cont'd in next post) (1/3)

...their invisibility will now flicker after 0.2 seconds instead of 0.9 seconds. This restores aim assist against them sooner during a fight, while preserving the shield’s intended ability to help them reposition and escape when they stop engaging. (2/3)

We've seen more questions about the Sentinel S'phticide Shell and wanted to give you a heads-up that we'll be releasing it with Symbiosis in December.

Hey everyone, Del here. Last week we had a great time talking about the upcoming PvE and experimental PvP modes for Symbiosis in December. We want to be clear, Extraction is still a major part of Marathon, and we're also going to continue updating it as we look to the future of the game.

We’re making changes to Marathon’s update plans and how we deliver new content. We’re moving away from a strict seasonal schedule to give the team more flexibility to build, test, and improve features before release. (1/2)
