We’ve also made changes so gunfire is more reliable against invisible players. In practice, that means fewer moments where you’re aiming at a Spectre Shielded player, but your shots appear to miss while they’re invisible. Full details arriving in tomorrow's patch notes! (3/3)

...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’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)

Just a reminder, if you have already killed the Compiler and successfully exfilled, or you do so between now and December, you will be credited the style once it's live. We're in the final stages of polish, but here's another quick peek:

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.

We'd love to hear from you on what you're enjoying about Extraction today, what you think needs work, and what you wish was there. -Del Chafe III, Marathon Game Director

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.

As a reminder - Ranked Cryo Archive returns from September 20–24, and will be the final Ranked window of Season 2. May your aim be true, your extracts be clean, and your foes be slightly less prepared.

This week’s login reward arrived with a little more gold than it had earned. It mistakenly granted a Prestige Shield Implant with Superior rarity stats. To make things right, we’re sending one Prestige Reinforced Shield Implant to everyone's mailbox.

We're aware of the differences between the White Rabbit model and Store image and are actively investigating. We'll share an update as soon as we have more information. Our intention is to make this right for everyone who chose to purchase this Runner Shell Style. Thank you for your reports.

➡️Updated Firestorm Arms Locker loot: ➡️➡️Increased the number of rolls for implants and cores, with a higher chance of these items at Prestige rarity. ➡️➡️To make room for these increases we are slightly reducing the amount of lower-value items like weapon chips and consumable items. (2/2)

We’ve made two changes to improve the Ordnance Heist experience, and both are now live and do not require you to restart your client: ➡️ Increased the number of Firestorm Locker Keys granted upon completion of a Key Template from 1 to 3. (1/2)

We’re aware of an issue in Ordnance Heist where UESC Manifests earned by your crew may appear in the run report but not be added to your Vault after exfil. We’ve identified the cause, and will deploy a fix with Update 1.1.5.5 next week. (1/2)

2.) How do Key Templates drop? Key Templates drop from UESC enemies on Perimeter. Elite UESC have a low chance to drop one, Commanders have a good chance, and Wardens are guaranteed to drop one. These are Key Templates, which must be completed and exfilled before they become Firestorm Locker Keys.

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 18/08/2026
1.) How many runs does this take? You will be able to get multiple keys from a run, and the fastest path is three successful runs. You will also have the option to buy key templates with the UESC manifests that drop. Failed runs or not finding enough templates can add more runs on.

Hey everyone! We’ve seen some discussion around Ordnance Heist and just wanted to clear up two quick key points:

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 14/08/2026
Parts of Anomalous Extraction, activating Network Towers, and accessing Vaults 1, 2, 3, Armory, and Panopticon in Cryo will also not grant Season Level XP while this temporary fix is in place. We'll provide you with an update when we enable the intended rep/XP rewards again (3/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 14/08/2026
We are disabling hidden caches from granting MIDA reputation and Season Level XP temporarily while we investigate a permanent fix. (2/3)

We've identified an issue allowing Seasonal Level XP and MIDA reputation by repeatedly opening hidden caches on Cryo Archive (1/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 13/08/2026
We know this is a significant change, and we want to be clear about it. We’ll be watching how it affects Ranked and listening to your feedback. If you’ve stepped away from Ranked, this will be a good time to jump back in and see how it feels. (3/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 13/08/2026
This change gives crews more opportunities to find valuable loot and makes the path to a successful exfil more achievable without changing the core risk and decision-making that makes Ranked what it is. (2/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 13/08/2026
When Update 1.1.5.4 goes live this upcoming Tuesday 8/18, Ranked maps will use the same more generous loot logic currently in place in Cryo Archive. In practice, this means more gear available during Ranked runs, including a noticeable increase in blue and purple gear. (1/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 13/08/2026
We'll have more details for you on that in the very near future, but we're excited to see what you think once it goes live. Happy hunting in the meantime 🐛 (3/3)

As a quick reminder - Vault Breaker wraps up on Tuesday, August 18 with the daily reset. You've still got some time to plunder the UESC Marathon but we've been downright thankful to see so many of you hop in, push deeper into the vaults, and share feedback along the way. (1/3)

A precision-shot one hit knockdown with Overclocked Delimiter will still be possible at around 15 meters at base. More systemic fixes are planned for a future release, and we'll share those as soon as we can. (3/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 11/08/2026
Last Resort and Reckless Behavior will also provide a reduced damage bonus with the V85 Circuit Breaker. We’re reducing its body shot damage while Overclocked Delimiter is equipped, since certain scenarios could enable one hit knockdown body shots without either Weapon Chip. (2/3)

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 11/08/2026
Heads-up on the V85 Circuit Breaker! In version 1.1.5.4 (arriving Tuesday, August 18) we’re making temporary changes to reduce unintended one hit knockdown body shots when the weapon is paired with the Overclocked Delimiter Prestige Mod. (1/3)
