Bungie released Marathon Season 2 on June 2 with new modes and a progression reset, but players encountered multiple errors that disrupted matches. The studio responded with compensation and maintenance to restore service.
Marathon Season 2 launched on the evening of June 2 after a scheduled start at 10am PDT. Players faced Weasel, Monkey, and Anteater error codes that removed them from matches and caused lost loot. Bungie posted on its official social media account that affected players would receive free deluxe sponsored kits. The company later identified the cause, took servers offline for emergency maintenance, and extended the downtime beyond an initial 6pm PDT target. Servers returned online at 8pm PDT with the main disconnect issues fixed. A separate bug still prevents some players from unlocking Codex rewards for the previous season, including cosmetic items for those who reached VIP rank. Players have praised the new Night Marsh map variant along with menu updates and cosmetics once they regained access.
