Bungie promises patch after marathon raid exploit griefing

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.

Bungie has deployed update 1.0.0.4 for its sci-fi extraction shooter Marathon, addressing player feedback with balance tweaks and quality-of-life improvements. The patch includes increased ammo availability, easier objective navigation, and reductions to enemy health without diminishing their challenge. Bungie also announced enhancements to the season one rewards pass coming later this season.

Bungie has issued its biggest patch yet for Marathon, now in its second week, introducing a new end-game map called Cryo Archive. The update includes numerous fixes and tweaks to improve gameplay. Access to the map requires solving puzzles and meeting specific prerequisites.

Prominent players in Bungie’s Marathon extraction shooter have accused cheaters of ruining ranked play, particularly in high-level lobbies and the Cryo Archive map. Streamers like AlbralelieVT described encounters with wall-hacks and stream snipers, prompting Bungie to announce expanded anti-cheat measures. The studio emphasized ongoing improvements to protect fair play.

Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon faced backlash over patch 1.0.0.4's increase to gunshot audibility range, which intensified gameplay aggression. The studio announced a partial rollback based on feedback, amid broader debates on post-launch multiplayer evolution.

Bungie partnered with marketing firm Kurppa Hosk to design an alternate reality game that unlocked the Cryo Archive map in Marathon. Players solved the ARG faster than developers anticipated, leading to its timely activation before a weekend release. The effort aimed to blend in-game puzzles with external clues for community engagement.

Bungie has detailed the seasonal structure for its upcoming extraction shooter Marathon, promising free updates that will keep the game evolving. Seasons will last about three months and include new content like maps, gear, and events, with a full reset of player progress at the start of each one. The first season launches alongside the game on March 5.

Players of Marathon have reached the final stage to unlock the Cryo Archive map, requiring 500 million UESC robot kills and a symbol-matching puzzle. Progress stands at about 330.5 million kills, or 66.1 percent complete. At the current rate, the map could become playable next week.
