Bungie releases a new update for Marathon, making a number of big changes to the game, including nerfs for the popular WSTR shotgun. Similar to Bungie's other game, Destiny 2, Marathon is a live service game that is constantly evolving with both bigger updates and smaller live changes. This latest update will likely not please fans of a certain weapon.
Currently, Marathon has entered the back half of Season 1 and with it came a large number of changes with the midseason update. However, the biggest piece of Marathon's midseason update is a new "C.A.R.R.I. Protocol" which rewards players for essentially playing nice with one another. While Marathon is a PvP game at its heart, Bungie is hoping to foster a bit of cooperation and teamwork with random players by issuing out rewards for exfiltrating with random players or using the new Mercy Kit, which is available at the start on Rook Shells. Now, a brand-new update has arrived and again makes a number of big changes to the game.
With a remarkable connection to the classic 1994 boomer shooter, Marathon 2026 bucks the tired trend of rebooting beloved IP for name value alone.
