Marathon
Marathon information
Good Marathon play starts with information. This guide is about seeing contracts and extracts before you commit.
Read the space first
Marathon hides the real threat behind colony raids with factions, contracts, and extract windows. Look for motion, not just loot glow.
Call loadouts early. A late call is how a duo walks into a stacked room.
Noise and light
Light and audio lie in Marathon. Test one corner, then move. Do not spray because a prop ticked.
Third parties is useful only if you still have a way out. Information without an exit is just a longer death.
When to leave
Leave when the picture goes noisy. Extra time in Marathon rarely pays after the first warning.
Reset on a quiet route. Bungie maps reward patience more than a second peek.
When you finish this checklist, you can also explore more detail.
