Marathon game director Joe Ziegler revealed that the endgame weapon known as the Biotoxic Disinjector, a popular endgame weapon, is proving to be too strong and has been nerfed across the live servers. Live service games, such as Marathon, are constantly changing over time and as new content gets added, it's only natural for balance adjustments to become required to put things back into balance.
This announcement continues to reinforce how reactive Bungie continues to be regarding Marathon. While continuing the live-service trend that Bungie has been known for, Marathon tends to operate slightly differently from previous games like Destiny 2. Including a typical seasonal structure, Bungie hasn't been afraid to test out new features on the fly, including adding a Duos mode to Marathon just weeks after the game launched. The mode, while still experimental, was simply added to the live servers without forcing players to wait for a dedicated patch during the game's weekly reset. These live updates are now being used to make changes on the fly as well.
Bungie gives players a sneak preview of Marathon's huge mid-season update, highlighting a couple of changes, including tweaks to the Recon Shell.
