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 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)

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)

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)

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)

Update: the Solo queue time limit in Vault Breaker has been increased to 40 minutes. This should give you more opportunities to push through even more of Cryo Archive - if you can survive. This change is live now and does not require a client patch.

We've seen lots of questions regarding the delivery of the Sentinel S'phticide Cryo Archive shell style. We're expecting this to release later in Season 3 as we're hard at work locking down content for that very season. But, here's a sneak peek of what's to come:

We're aware of reports of Vault Breaker closing down a bit earlier than intended. It is still scheduled to remain live through August 18. We’re working to get it back online as soon as possible, and we’ll share another update once it’s live again.

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 31/07/2026
We’ve made a server-side change to address an issue affecting Vault Breaker kits. No client update is required. To reduce the chance of a known login error, Warped items have been temporarily disabled. This is a momentary mitigation, and a full fix is planned for a future patch.

Marathon Development Team @marathonteam.bungie.net · 29/07/2026
You’ve spent the last week putting Vault Breaker through its paces in Cryo and giving us a valuable look at how this experimental PvE mode is landing. Because of that, Vault Breaker will remain live until August 18. (1/2)

With Update 1.1.5.1, we have issued a fix that unblocks VIP faction rewards. Players that have reached VIP faction status will notice their rank has gone back to 30 and have 30 rewards to claim. Once claimed, the correct VIP rank level will show up again and VIP rewards will be available again.

We have made an update that disables the perk on the mod that is causing the issue instead of the entire mod. This will for players to be able to loot a Circuit Breaker that drops with the mod attached while we work on the permanent fix.

We've continued to monitor feedback around the V22 Volt Thrower, and yes, it's very spicy. To get ahead of the weekend we'll be deploying a temporary damage reduction, which is live now. We'll keep evaluating its performance and feedback, so these values may change with future updates.

Account recovery services or boosting services often have a clear tie to cheating. We have seen these services steal and sell player accounts without the player's permission. (1/11)

We’ve been tracking feedback and recent telemetry on the Volt Thrower. The buffs did what we wanted in making it a stronger option, but it’s currently landing a bit too hot in the meta. (1/2)

We’re deploying a fix for the VIP package claim issue in Update 1.1.5.1 next week. Those affected by this will be able to claim all VIP packages up to their current VIP rank (including packages granted because of this issue and any earned naturally during the week) when this update is live.
