Bungie has revealed that it is prepping the first Marathon update for launch this week, and has provided a preview of what to expect form the patch which includes adjustments to starting ammo and the number of Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates.
Beyond that, the developer also revealed that it will be implementing changes to the amount of Lux players acquire for the $10 bundle, based on recent feedback following the game’s release on March 5.
Thank you for joining us for the first few days here on Tau Ceti! Thanks to your reports and feedback, we’ve been able to get some fixes out the door – and we’re preparing a patch for next week. In the near future, we’re making an adjustment to the amount of Lux you get for the $10 (or regional equivalent) Lux bundle to grant 1120 Lux (1000 + 120), up from 1100 Lux (1000 + 100).
In addition, here’s a teaser of some of the changes coming in this week’s patch:
- Increased the distance objective nav points appear from 10m to 20m.
- Increased the number of Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates that can spawn on Perimeter.
- Increased the amount of starting ammo in MIDA, CyberAcme, and Arachne free Sponsored Kits.
Marathon sees players working as crews of three as they comb the lost colony on Tau Ceti IV for powerful weapons and equipment, battling against AI security forces, otherworldly foes, and rival Runner teams also competing for loot. However, while death is pretty much a given in this cut-throat world, you’ll return to keep everything you previously scavenged, allowing you to grow in power and fill your vault during matches.
