Bungie has released update 1.0.5.2 for Marathon, its extraction shooter, introducing incentives for players to assist strangers. The CyberAcme Runner Reinforcement Initiative offers bonus rewards for completing contracts or exfiling with non-crew players, alongside a Mercy Kit for reviving downed opponents. Balance changes include nerfs to thermal scopes and claymore drones.
Players in Bungie’s Marathon are voicing frustration over excessive grenade spamming, which persists despite earlier nerfs. The developer has promised adjustments to stack sizes and stock counts before the season ends. Community discussions highlight the issue in high-stakes modes like Cryo Archive.
