Bungie promises patch after marathon raid exploit griefing

Kiswahili

A player exploited an out-of-bounds bug in Marathon's Cryo Archive raid to ambush teams after they completed the encounter. The studio has committed to fixing the issue before the map returns and is reviewing policies on such actions.

Over the weekend of May 9, streamer NAPainter used a bug in Marathon to enter the Compiler loot room undetected. He and his crew then attacked another team that had just finished the raid, stealing their rewards in what he described as the most heinous act in any game.
